      Man Utd transfer target Gareth Bale ‘erased’ by Real Madrid with shirts taken down from club shop and not in ANY plans

      by

      REAL MADRID appear to have moved on from Gareth Bale as Manchester United prepare a bid for the outcast winger.
      Zinedine Zidane has made it clear that he no longer wants the Welshman but, with two years left on his contract, the pair are at an impasse.

      Gareth Bale played twice for Wales earlier in the month but is out of action for Real Madrid

      Only the world’s wealthiest clubs could afford to take Bale and his £650,000 weekly wage off Real’s books.
      And, with the player said to be adamant that he has done nothing wrong, he will not accept a miserly offer to leave Madrid.
      Marca report on the Bernabeu club shop taking down any reference to Bale and his No11 shirt.
      It follows his absence from Real’s recent release of their third kit, which featured almost every other recognisable face in Zidane’s squad.

      Meanwhile, Bale works alone in the Valdebebas gym, away from the first-team’s pre-season sessions.
      The word is that the 31-year-old is suffering from a knee problem but, officially, the diagnosis remains a mystery.
      That is because, according to reports in Spain, Bale is deploying data protection laws to prevent medical information from being released without his consent.
      This use of the law was first discussed last year but it is understood that Bale is once again ensuring his injury condition remains off the record.

      Real hope to find a buyer for their £85million purchase before the October 5 window.

      With Tottenham reportedly not in the running, SunSport believe Manchester United to be the primary contender.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is getting tired of the club’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho and has not ruled out an experienced player, such as Bale, being drafted in later in the window.
      Real could demand an £18.5m transfer fee if a loan deal cannot be thrashed out.

      Kylian Mbappe transfer could cost Man Utd and Liverpool just £111m but PSG star ‘believes Real Madrid is best option’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Liverpool could get Kylian Mbappe for just £111million next summer – but Real Madrid appear favourites for his signature.
      It emerged at the weekend that the 21-year-old striker has told Paris Saint-Germain he wants to leave at the end of the season.

      AS claim Los Blancos could get the striker for just £111m next summer

      That instantly alerted a host of European big guns, with United, Liverpool, Man City and Madrid all believed to be readying their moves.
      Mbappe has less than two years remaining on his contract at Parc des Princes.
      And despite being valued at £400m currently, AS claims that could force PSG to sell him for the reduced price of £111m once he enters the final 12 months of his deal.

      And that price would certainly enable the Premier League teams interested in the hotshot to mount a move.
      However, it has also been claimed last night the star only has his heart set on joining one club.
      And that is the LaLiga champions Real Madrid.
      Mbappe’s admiration for compatriot Zinedine Zidane, the boss of the Bernabeu side, and his long-term ambition to play for Los Blancos are said to be key behind his decision.

      And he also reportedly believes his dream of winning both the Champions League and Ballon d’Or would be more achievable with the Spanish side.
      Madrid have wanted Mbappe for some time but they are prepared to play the long game to get him.
      President Florentino Perez has already confirmed the impact of the coronavirus on the club’s finances, and said they must sell before any big-money arrivals.
      He has already managed to shift James Rodriguez off the books to Everton.
      And he continues to attempt to get Gareth Bale off the wage bill also, with United possibly plotting a swoop for the Welshman.

      Madrid do not want to get into a bidding war with other clubs and will instead wait for Mbappe to declare he only wants to sign for them, which should make negatations easier.
      Despite the latest speculation, PSG are not willing to let their talisman go without a fight.
      And they are preparing to offer the goalscorer a new long-term contract to try and convince him to stay.

      Man Utd do NOT plan to use Memphis Depay transfer buy-back with Lyon ace set to join Barcelona

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have no intention of using their buy-back option on Memphis Depay, according to reports.
      The ex-Old Trafford winger, who endured a miserable two-year spell at the club from 2015, looks set to join Barcelona from Lyon.

      Former Holland manager Ronald Koeman looks set to be reunited with the Dutch star after a £28million fee was reportedly agreed.
      Depay, 26, was the Nou Camp club’s priority target, it has been claimed, and will travel for his medical in the coming days.
      If all goes well then he should be available for Barca’s opening game of the LaLiga season against Villarreal on September 27.
      But it appears United have shown no interest in activating the buy-back clause they inserted into Depay’s deal when he joined Lyon in 2017, talkSPORT say.

      And it looks like they could have missed out on a winner given Depay’s electrifying start this season.
      He bagged a hat-trick in Lyon’s 4-1 opening-day thrashing of Dijon and last season scored a combined 15 goals in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s No 1 target remains Jadon Sancho but talks with Dortmund show little sign of making a breakthrough.
      SunSport told you United chiefs are ready to take Gareth Bale on loan after losing patience with their pursuit of Sancho.

      United want to take the Real Madrid star on loan for a season initially but with the option to renegotiate that for a further year.
      Bale, 31, has two years left on his current £650,000-a-week Real Madrid contract.
      He would have to take a wage cut with United and Real may even have to pay part of it.
      Real could demand an upfront transfer fee of £18.5million rather than a loan.

      But United are now seriously looking into all options.
      The news has left Sancho sweating as he was convinced his switch from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford would go through this summer or in the New Year window.
      Bale – frozen out by Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane – has scored 105 goals in 251 games for Real Madrid.
      Depay meanwhile has notched 57 goals in 140 appearances for Lyon and will look to breathe new life into a struggling Barcelona side.

      Man Utd weighing up £28m transfer for Valencia’s Uros Racic, dubbed the ‘new Nemanja Matic’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are weighing up a move for Valencia’s Uros Racic.
      The Serbian central midfielder has a £92million release clause in his contract.

      But with Valencia struggling with a financial crisis, a fee of around £28m might be enough to secure Racic’s services.
      Racic is a box-to-box player – around 6ft 4ins and powerfully built.
      He is renowned for his workrate and defensive power but also has good footwork and can shoot with either foot.
      Aged just 22, he has failed to settle in Valencia after joining the La Liga outfit from Red Star.

      He had loan spells last season with Famalicao in Portugal and Spanish outfit Tenerife.
      United have been keeping tabs on Racic, whose idol is their midfield superstar Paul Pogba.
      With doubts still remaining about the Frenchman’s Old Trafford future, Racic could be a reasonably-priced long-term replacement if the France ace does leave.

      Racic has been dubbed the ‘new Nemanja Matic’

      Should he arrive at United he will provide further competition to compatriot Nemanja Matic in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s crowded midfield.

      SunSport have also exclusively revealed how the Red Devils are ready to make a loan offer for Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale.
      The club are losing patience in their quest to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, as the German outfit continue to hold out for £108m.

      Man Utd preparing Gareth Bale loan move as club lose patience in Jadon Sancho transfer pursuit

      MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to offer Gareth Bale a short-term deal after losing patience over Jadon Sancho.
      United want to take the Real Madrid star on loan for a season initially but with the option to renegotiate that for a further year.

      He would have to take a wage cut with United and Real may even have to pay part of it.

      But United are now seriously looking into all options.

      The news has left Sancho sweating as he was convinced his switch from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford would go through this summer or in the New Year window.
      United had agreed personal terms with the England international.
      They have also recently resolved the issue of the agents cut of the deal which had been a major stumbling block.
      But they will still not match the £108m valuation the Bundesliga side have put on the player.

      BALE FORCE
      United believe that is way too high for a 20-year-old in the current financial climate with all football clubs hit hard by the Covid-19 lockdown.
      While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s policy is to get in young hungry players to grow with United, he is not averse to signing a seasoned international like Bale while bringing another player through in that wide position.
      Bale’s experience, particularly in Europe, is a big attraction with United now back in the Champions League which the Welsh international has won four times.
      The arrival of Bale would end a long-running saga with United constantly linked to the player down the years.
      Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes and Jose Mourinho all tried to sign him.
      United boss Moyes and Executive Vice-Chairman Ed Woodward even had a helicopter waiting to bring him to Carrington on the day he flew out to sign for Real Madrid in 2013.
      United meanwhile will not sign another defender until they can offload one of their own.
      They are interested in Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon who would cost £23m.

      But they currently have an excess in the defence department with Marcus Rojo, Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling still on their books but not wanted by manager Ole Solskjaer.
      United are trying to negotiate the sale of Smalling to Roma, where he impressed on loan last season, but the Serie A club are yet to match the £20m asking price.
      So far this summer United have made just one addition to their squad with the signing of Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek for £39m.

      Man Utd transfer blow in Jadon Sancho pursuit as Borussia Dortmund boss Favre insists ‘we need him, no question’

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND boss Lucien Favre has revealed Jadon Sancho will be staying at the club to deal Manchester United a major blow in their quest to sign him.
      The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to the Red Devils, but the Premier League side are refusing to pay his £108million asking price.

      It is understood that the England international is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s No1 summer target, but BVB are confident they will be keeping hold of the winger.
      According to the BBC, the Bundesliga outfit do not believe the winger will be leaving this window, despite personal terms said to have been agreed with United.
      And Favre has now stated that Sancho is going nowhere as he spoke of his joy that he will be remaining a part of his squad.
      He told Keystone-SDA via the Daily Mail: “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.”
      United have been linked with a host of other wingers should they fail to prise Sancho away from Germany.

      A move for Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale could be seen as an attractive option with Los Blancos claimed to be open to selling him for £18.5m.
      And Juventus forward Douglas Costa has also been put up for sale, with the 29-year-old free to leave the Old Lady.
      Long-term target Ivan Perisic continues to be linked with United, with Inter Milan keen to offload him as he enters the final year of his contract.

      Man Utd transfer target Douglas Costa gets engaged to stunning partner Nathalia as she shows off HUGE diamond ring

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Douglas Costa has got engaged to stunning partner Nathalia Felix.
      She showed off a whopping ring bought for her by the Juventus star and wrote alongside it: “13.09.2020 YES I DO!”

      1

      Costa popped the question to Nathalia with a huge ring and she said yes

      Costa will be getting married for the second time – although will still have some way to go to match the ring Juve team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo bought for Georgina Rodriguez.
      That was valued at an amazing £615,000 – the most expensive ever among footballers.
      Costa’s first marriage to long-term sweetheart Louisa Ramos lasted little more than a year after they tied the knot in June 2014.
      Speaking of his break-up, Costa said at the time: “That’s life. Sometimes things just happen whether you want them or not.”

      It is believed dad-of-one Costa, who turned 30 today, and 26-year-old Nathalia got together last year.
      They showed how big hearted they are by handing out supplies to those in need during lockdown in their native Brazil.
      Nathalia is a social media sensation there and has more than 500,000 Instagram followers.
      The model regularly posts photos of herself enjoying the high life somewhere sunny in a bikini.

      But they might have to swap that lifestyle for Manchester should United get their way.

      Costa – who went viral on social media after beating his new fiancee in a race where she rode a go kart – has reportedly been put up for sale by Juventus.
      And Old Trafford chiefs are said to be looking at him as an alternative should they not land No1 transfer target Jadon Sancho.
      Costa, who is rated at £18million, missed 21 games through injury last season and was hampered at the end of his side’s title-winning campaign with a tear in his abductor muscle.
      That same injury is also set to keep him sidelined for the start of Juventus’ season that begins next Sunday at home to Sampdoria.

      Kylian Mbappe sparks £400m transfer scramble between Man Utd, City, Liverpool and Real Madrid after PSG exit request

      by

       KYLIAN MBAPPE will spark a £400MILLION battle between the Manchester giants, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
      The French superstar, 21, is understood to have given Paris Saint-Germain notice that he intends to leave at the end of this season.

      1

      Kylian Mbappe will spark a £400m transfer scramble between Man Utd, City, Liverpool and Real MadridCredit: AFP

      With two years left on his contract by then, PSG will expect to get £300m for him should they chose not to stand in the way.
      Mbappe is already on £15m a year and will expect to see that huge salary rise by another £5m when he moves.
      Any club that plans to sign him will want his signature on a five-year deal.

      That will mean a total of £100m in wages plus almost double the £165m PSG paid Monaco for him in 2018.
      City, United and Real will not baulk at such a staggering outlay, although Liverpool’s owners FSG will blink.
      The Premier League champions may have spent £310m on a collection of stars between 2017 and 2018.
      But over the last 12 months the American owners have brought in players worth just over £20m and over the same time scale have made a net profit on deals of £32m.

      Going for Mbappe would require the sale of one of their Fab three of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
      Senegalese frontman Mane would be the most likely to go if he asked for a move and has so far ignored Liverpool’s effort to get him to extend his stay for two years beyond 2023.
      Real would love to have him – as they would Mbappe – and he would command a fee of £150m.
      City came close to landing world No 1 Lionel Messi before he withdrew plans to leave Barcelona last month.

      Kylian Mbappe is the fastest footballer in the world
      They were prepared to pay him £600,000 a week and with their unlimited resources would see Mbappe as another way of elevating their standing in world football.
      Like them United would believe that no matter the outlay, Mbappe’s presence would only increase their global pull and had bucket – loads of more corporate cash.
      What is in Liverpool’s favour is Mbappe’s connection with boss Jurgen Klopp.
      The Anfield boss spent several hours trying to convince him to sign for Liverpool before he opted for PSG.
      The German said: “I love him, to be honest. What a player, what a player – he is and a nice lad as well, so he’s a really good kid.”
      Mbappe, who is understood to have been “charmed” by Klopp, declared Liverpool as a “machine” in May as they powered their way to the club’s first top flight title in 30 years.
      Yet it is understood he also likes the idea of playing at Old Trafford.

      Pep Guardiola, having lost out on Messi, will be certain to want to have a conversation with him – as will Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu.
      Real believe they had signed him before his switch to PSG and are certain to be jostling in the queue this time around.
      But this time alongside a trio of heavy-hitting English clubs with the only thing likely to affect such a potential huge spend to get him to the Premier League how deep the coronavirus pandemic bites into their finances. More
