      Man Utd to launch last-minute Jadon Sancho transfer bid and are confident Dortmund will accept under £108million

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are set to launch a last-minute bid for Jadon Sancho – and are confident Borussia Dortmund will be forced to accept a cut-price fee.
      The Red Devils missed out on the England ace after failing to negotiate a transfer fee before Borussia Dortmund’s August 10 deadline.

      United hoped to convince the German giants to sell for a deal closer to £60m up front, with the remainder of their £108million valuation paid in instalments.
      But Dortmund held firm and ruled out the sale of Sancho, as United looked elsewhere – despite having agreed personal terms with the 20-year-old.
      As well as taking a look at Watford ace Ismaila Sarr, the Red Devils had hoped to sign Gareth Bale.
      However, Tottenham appear to have won the race for the Real Madrid outcast on a season-long loan deal.

      Now, Man Utd have turned their attention back to Sancho and will test Dortmund’s mettle with an 11th-hour bid, just before the window closes on October 5.
      The Transfer Window Podcast claimed United officials will wait until the FINAL week of the transfer window to launch their next bid.
      Red Devils bosses hope the late move will pile pressure on the Bundesliga giants and tempt them to cash-in while they can.
      Dortmund are keen to hold out for the full £108m, with Sancho under contract at the club until June 2023.

      But on more than one occasion, bosses at the German side have conceded they know they are destined to lose their winger sooner rather than later.
      As early as LAST summer club chief Michael Zorc admitted “you don’t have to be a prophet” to realise Sancho’s future is elsewhere.
      And while Dortmund have been open in their willingness to allow Sancho to leave at some stage, they’ve been adamant they won’t let him walk cheaply.
      Just this week, Dortmund boss Lucien Favre admitted: “We need him, no question. Everyone was happy he stayed.”
      Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly spoken to the rising england star and assured him a deal is close to being agreed, such is the club’s confidence.
      It now just appears to be a matter of time before Man Utd launch one last, late bid.

      Garner has played in League Cup games and Europe but the chance of regular domestic football swayed the deal. 
      Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday both wanted the England youth ace aswell.
      But Watford made their decisive move and he joined them for training.
      And the Red Devils know their talented teen will get plenty of action as they bid for instant promotion.

      The starlet will wear squad number 16 and is available for selection as the Hornets visit Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.
      Garner made his Premier League debut for United in February 2019 against Crystal Palace.

      The United boss said: “He knows we believe in him, we’ve got great faith in him as the next Michael Carrick.

      “I know he’s young and I know it’s not fair on kids to compare great players like Michael was, but he’s the same mould.
      “He plays simple passes through the lines.
      “Michael had the pressure of coming in after Roy Keane, so that’s just the way it is at Man United.”

      Man Utd go back in for Alex Telles in £18m transfer from Porto as Solskjaer misses out on Reguilon to Tottenham

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly back in for Porto left-back Alex Telles after missing out on Sergio Reguilon.
      The Red Devils were looking at Telles, 27, earlier this summer with the aim of adding depth to their squad given Luke Shaw’s injury record.

      And A Bola reports Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has renewed his interest with Real Madrid’s Reguilon set to join Tottenham.
      Reguilon, 23, was reportedly at Spurs’ training ground on Wednesday for a medical ahead of a £25million move from Los Blancos.
      United are thought to have been put off by Madrid’s insistence on inserting a buy-back clause into the deal.
      They have now turned their attention to Brazilian Telles who is available for £18m.

      Attacking full-back Telles is in the last year of his deal at Porto.
      And the Portuguese club risk seeing him leave for free at the end of the season if they don’t cash in now.
      Telles’ renewal talks with Porto broke down after he asked for wages of up to £88,000 a week.
      The club had to halve their initial £36m asking price to try and get a deal towards the finish line.

      Telles joined the Portuguese champions in 2016 from Galatasaray and could arrive at Old Trafford for around £5m less than Spurs are forking out for Reguilon.
      He is available without a buy-back clause and was previously on Chelsea’s radar before Frank Lampard coughed up £50m to sign Ben Chilwell from Leicester.
      Telles spent a year on loan at Inter Milan in 2015-16 but the Serie A side elected not to make it a permanent move.
      He bagged 13 goals and 12 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions last season.

      Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo arrive at Man Utd’s Carrington to train away from squad as pair wait for transfers away

      by

      CHRIS SMALLING and Marcos Rojo arrived at Carrington on Thursday morning to train separately from the rest of the Manchester United squad.
      The Red Devils defenders are both expected to quit Old Trafford this summer after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed they were not in his plans.

      Smalling spent last season on loan at Roma, while Rojo spent much of 2019-20 back in Argentina with Estudiantes.
      And the pair arrived at the Aon Training Complex on Thursday morning to continue training away from the rest of the first-team.
      Smalling arrived in his silver Ferrari, while Rojo drove his Cadillac Escalade into Carrington just before 8am.
      The ex-Fulham defender, 30, is expected to leave the club before Man Utd’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

      Newcastle, Everton, West Ham and Fulham have all been linked with the Londoner in recent weeks.  
      However, Roma – Smalling’s home for 2019-20 – are expected to win the race.
      The only stumbling block now appears to be the cost – with the Italians desperate to talk United down from their £20m valuation.
      Smalling currently has two years left on his Old Trafford contract but was left out of the 2020-21 season photoshoot earlier this week – fuelling talk of a departure.

      Meanwhile, Rojo, also 30, has long been tipped with a move away having struggled with injuries for years.
      With Solskjaer at the helm, Rojo failed to break into the first-team last term and was eventually shipped off to Argentina to spend the second-half of the season at boyhood club Estudiantes.
      However, as things stand, there appear to be no serious suitors for the Argentine, with United forced to consider keeping him at the club.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ‘tells Jadon Sancho Man Utd deal is close’ with pair ‘in regular contact’ as negotiations continue

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly spoken to Jadon Sancho to assure him that a deal is close to being agreed.
      Borussia Dortmund have been adamant they will not be selling the 20-year-old, on whom they have slapped a £108million asking price.

      Personal terms are already said to have been agreed with Sancho, but as of yet, the Red Devils have been reluctant to fork out the huge sum of money.
      This has led to the club to fear missing out on him next year, with the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool known to be interested.
      But, according to Norwegian news outlet Dagbladet via the Metro, Solskjaer has been in constant contact with Sancho this summer.
      They state that the ex-Cardiff gaffer recently assured the England international that he will be a United player by the end of the window.

      United have until October 5 to secure his services, otherwise they run the risk of not signing him at all.
      Speaking to Keystone-SDA about the winger recently, Dortmund boss Lucien Favre spoke of his delight that the forward will be remaining in Germany.
      He said: “We need him, no question. Everyone was happy that he stayed.

      “We don’t need to talk long about its qualities – they are enormous

      “He scores and sets up a lot of goals and can often make all the difference. 
      “But there are some details that Sancho needs to improve. That is quite normal for a 20-year-old.”

      Man Utd eye Atalanta winger Amad Traore, 18, as shock transfer replacement for Jadon Sancho as deal stalls

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are eyeing Atalanta winger Amad Traore as a shock alternative to Jadon Sancho, according to reports.
      A deal for the Dortmund winger has stalled and has left the Premier League club looking elsewhere.

      2

      Amad Traore is attracting the interest of Man United and other clubs in Europe18-year-old Traore is seen as a big prospect and was a part of the Champions League squad for Atalanta’s quarter-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain.
      The Manchester Evening News report that the Red Devils have contacted the Italians as other clubs become interested in the teen.
      But MEN suggest he is not seen by club sources as an immediate Sancho substitute.
      Despite the interest, the right-sided midfielder only achieved 30 minutes on the pitch in Serie A last season.

      He did make a big impact in his first appearance, however, when he became the youngest player, at 17 years and 109 days old, to score on his league debut as Atalanta crushed Udinese 7-1.
      This dynamite start was only rewarded with two further senior appearances.
      In the Under 19 team, where he was a regular, Traore hit seven goals and 11 assists in 24 games.
      Along with Man United, rivals Manchester City are rumoured to also be keen.

      Arsenal and Juventus are also believed to be admirers in the youngsters.
      If Atalanta can fend off the European giants, he has been linked with a loan move to Parma.
      Meanwhile, Manchester United’s move for Sancho continues to go nowhere fast.
      The English international played in Dortmund’s 5-0 German Cup rout over MSV Duisburg on Monday, where ex-United target Jude Belligham also scored.

      United are believed to have made progress over Sancho’s wages and agents’ fees but the Bundesliga side are still holding out for £108million to allow the player to leave.
      Old Trafford chiefs are working frantically to try and bring that valuation down as they are unwilling to splash the cash post-covid.
      Another potential Sancho replacement target, Gareth Bale, appears to be on his way to Tottenham who are edging ahead in the race for the Real Madrid man.

      Man Utd could land Sami Khedira on FREE transfer with Juventus ‘set to terminate his contract and not in Pirlo’s plans’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could land Sami Khedira on a free transfer, according to reports.
      The midfielder, 33, is set to have his contract terminated at Juventus a year early.

      According to Goal, he is not part of new boss Andrea Pirlo’s plans at the Allianz Stadium this season.
      Khedira endured an injury-hit season last term with knee surgery in December and a torn abductor later on.
      That limited him to just 18 appearances across all competitions.
      Juventus are keen to cut costs across the club and the report adds they could save around £5.5million this season by terminating Khedira’s deal.

      The Old Lady have brought in both Arthur from Barcelona and American star Weston McKennie to bolster the midfield.
      And it means after five years with Juve, the German could be on his way out.
      However, it remains unclear where the former Stuttgart and Real Madrid man will go next.
      United have been linked in the past and did make a deadline-day attempt to land him during his Bernabeu days before Carlo Ancelotti convinced the German to stay.

      But Khedira will be hoping Red Devils fans forgive him for his comments surrounding Bastian Schweinsteiger’s treatment at Old Trafford under former boss Jose Mourinho.
      He said: “It’s a warning shot, definitely. I would never be in a situation where a club asks me to go.
      “A player with a great career does not deserve that one eventually tells him, ‘Hey, get out!’
      “I think the situation in Manchester is a shame because Bastian is a player who I have looked up to.
      “Football is business. I am not a daydreamer. If Jose Mourinho has other plans, you have to accept that.”

      Tottenham trying to re-sign Gareth Bale on loan transfer in desperate bid to stop him joining rivals Man Utd

      by

      TOTTENHAM are trying to re-sign Gareth Bale on loan – in a bid to stop him from joining Manchester United.
      Spurs chiefs fear United are closing in on a deal to take the Wales star from Real Madrid for the rest of the season.

      So they are frantically putting together a package to entice him back to North London.
      Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who negotiated Bale’s sale to the Bernabeu in 2013 for a then-world record fee of £86million, is keen to make the deal happen.
      He reckons bringing the Welshman – whose shirts have been pulled from the Real shop – back would appease their fans and lift the gloom that has descended on the club since Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat by Everton.
      But Tottenham know they now have to move quickly as rivals United are attempting to seal a season-long loan for the former Southampton trainee – who can leave Real Madrid after being frozen out by their manager Zinedine Zidane.

      The Spanish giants don’t care which club takes Bale, 31, off their hands for the campaign.
      Bale is prepared to leave Madrid on loan this summer but is keen to remain on his mega £650,000-a-week wages.
      As a result, both United – who could get Bale into their team any one of five ways – and Spurs hope Real Madrid will still continue paying part of his salary in a bid to ease their crippling wage bills.
      Spurs also have their £1billion arena still to pay off and that has so far restricted their activity in this transfer window to two £15m signings in midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and defender Matt Doherty and a Bosman in goalkeeper Joe Hart.

      Mourinho – who told Bale back in 2017 he wanted to sign him – has made no secret of his and the club’s desire to bring in another striker to take the goalscoring burden off Harry Kane.
      But the addition of playmaker Bale – who netted 55 times in 204 appearances in all competitions for them in six years after signing from Southampton for £7m in 2007 – would undoubtedly add goals to the Spurs team.
      SunSport told you how United had been looking at a one-year deal for Bale.

      And there is the option of a second season on the table if all goes well.
      Bale admitted earlier this month he wants to find a way to leave the Spanish champions but claimed the club had blocked his attempts in the past.
      He said he was unhappy Real had a late change of heart to stop him moving to China, and that club bosses had also stood in his way of other chances to get away since then.
