      Chelsea and Man Utd joined by Tottenham in transfer race for Sevilla star Jules Kounde

      by

      TOTTENHAM have joined Chelsea and Manchester United in the race for Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, reports say. The Frenchman is one of the most sought after defenders in the world currently following a breakthrough season in Spain.

      Managerless Spurs, still yet to confirm a replacement for Jose Mourinho, are the latest club interested in Kounde, according to The Guardian.
      It is claimed he currently has a £69million release clause, but can be expected to move for much less than that in the summer window.
      Real Madrid and Arsenal are also long-term admirers of Kounde – who has just helped France reach the knockout stages of the Euros.
      The Gunners have since closed in on a move for Brighton and England’s Ben White, 23.
      And while Madrid said goodbye to club legend Sergio Ramos, 35, they already have David Alaba, 29, signed as a replacement.
      Kounde, 22, made 49 appearances for Sevilla last season, qualifying for the Champions League just two points behind Barcelona. 
      Only champions Atletico Madrid and Real conceded fewer league goals than Sevilla last term.
      But Kounde put Europe’s elite on red alert last month when he revealed his future could be destined for a move away.

      He said: “I may have to change clubs this summer. I have not decided anything.
      “My goal is, one day, to evolve into a great club to always try to progress, win trophies.
      “To be able to start the season each year by telling yourself that the goal is win a particular trophy. I might have to move, but that’s not relevant today.”

      Man Utd blow as Sergio Ramos ‘tells Real Madrid pals he’s joining PSG’ as Spain legend leaves on free transfer

      by

      SERGIO RAMOS has told former Real Madrid team-mates that he is going to join Paris Saint-Germain, reports suggest.Real confirmed last week that Ramos will leave the club after 16 scintillating years at the Santiago Bernabeu when his contract expired.

      The 35-year-old is at an advanced age but is still considered as one of the best centre-backs in the world and his departure has led to interest from some of football’s top clubs.
      Manchester United, Manchester City and PSG have all been monitoring the Spain international.
      According to Tiempo de Juego, however, the legendary defender has told other Los Blancos players that he is on his way to Paris.
      Reports suggested that Ramos has been prioritising the French giants, who have offered him a deal that is ‘financially superior’ to what the two Manchester clubs have proposed.

      But if negotiations collapse, then the former Real captain would prefer to join United over City.
      Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for a top defender to partner up with Harry Maguire at centre-back ahead of this coming season.
      The Spaniard held a tearful press conference last Thursday as he bid farewell to the club where he won 22 major honours.
      An emotional Ramos said: “I’ll always keep Real Madrid in my heart.

      “A marvellous stage in my life is over, but a new exciting future awaits and I am looking forward to showing my level and winning some more trophies.
      “You’re never prepared to say adios to Real Madrid but the moment has arrived. This is an ‘adieu’ as sooner or later I will return.
      “I would like to thank the fans, they carried me in their arms at all times.
      “I would have liked to say goodbye at the Bernabeu. But I will always carry you in my heart.”

      Man Utd ace Jesse Lingard urged to seal transfer return to West Ham where he’s ‘loved’ by ex-Hammer Trevor Sinclair

      by

      JESSE LINGARD has been urged by Trevor Sinclair to seal a permanent transfer to West Ham and return to where he is ‘loved’. The playmaker made a move to the Hammers on loan in January after being frozen out of Manchester United’s squad.

      With nine goals and five assists in 16 games, it leaves West Ham pushing to bring the England international to the club full-time.
      And ex-Hammer Sinclair, who made 196 appearances for the Londoners, called for Lingard, linked also with PSG, to remain with David Moyes’ side.
      He told talkSPORT: “Can I just say, Jesse Lingard, get to the capital of England rather than the capital of France.
      “You are loved at West Ham. Get yourself there, boy.”
      Lingard’s form was so impressive he was recalled to England’s camp in the summer as they prepared for the delayed European Championships.
      But he just missed out on Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man squad, but was pictured supporting them in a pub.
      Wearing a Declan Rice on his back, with a parrot on his shoulder, Lingard watched on as Raheem Sterling’s winner saw England beat Croatia 1-0.
      After mixing in with the locals, he said: “It’s crazy, you don’t realise until like you’re actually in it how much it means to everyone.

      “Everyone’s watching the game and everyone’s in a beer garden, and the sun was out, the drinks are flying everywhere.
      “You don’t realise how important it is to the whole nation, to be to be putting on that shirt and playing for your country.
      “It gives you a different, different perspective.  It’s crazy how many people really love football and want to be part of football.”

      Yet the central defender is still unlikely to start against the Scots, with boss Gareth Southgate looking certain to keep faith with John Stones and Tyrone Mings.
      Asked if he is fit to start at Wembley, Maguire, 28, said: “Yes definitely.
      “I’ve done a few sessions now and feel like my fitness is there, so I’m available for the game.
      “The injury was a setback club football-wise. Internationally, I wanted to come into this with a lot of games under my belt with full fitness.
      “But I feel good and I’ve been in full training.”
      Maguire suffered the injury after a collision with Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi and missed United’s loss to Villarreal in the Europa League final.
      He has only been in full training for a few sessions but the centre-half, although expecting some pain, insists playing a full 90 minutes would not be a problem.
      Maguire is more likely to feature in some capacity in the final group game against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

      He said: “I don’t feel like there is any risk.
      “I think throughout a career in football, if you didn’t play through pain you would probably spend more time on the sidelines than on the pitch.
      “I have done it throughout my career and so has everyone else who plays week in, week out.
      “I haven’t had an ankle injury before so I cannot gauge the pain or stability. That is down to the physios and we do tests day in, day out.
      “We firmly believe it is in a good place stability-wise. I am all good to go. Speaking to players and physios, I’m sure it will be niggling me.
      “But as long as it’s stable and the pain is bearable, then I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
      As for the clash with Scotland, Maguire added: “It’s a big game and it’s going to be a great day.
      “It will be a great occasion for the country to get together and push us forward and we’ll try our best to go and get the three points.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo’s mum reveals son will play for three more years but refuses to say where amid Man Utd transfer links

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO’S mum revealed her son will play for another three years – as his club future remains up in the air. The Juventus forward is still one of the most lethal finishers in the game and has previously revealed a desire to play into his 40s.

      Ronaldo, known for his strict diet and fitness regime, kickstarted his Euros campaign with two goals in Portugal’s opening match 3-0 win over Hungary.
      Cheering him on was his mother Maria Dolores, who predicted her boy will be playing at least until he is 39.
      She told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport: “Cristiano is in good shape, he will play three more years.”
      Ronaldo has one year left on his current Juve contract and finished the season with 36 goals in 44 appearances.
      But it was a disastrous campaign for the Italian giants, who for the first time in TEN YEARS failed to win the Serie A title.
      Rookie manager Andrea Pirlo, who has since been replaced by the returning Max Allegri, even gave Ronaldo a spell on the bench.
      It left the former Real Madrid and Manchester United winger contemplating his next step.
      According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, a return to their United or boyhood club Sporting are among his options.

      And PSG are monitoring his future, with a move expected should Kylian Mbappe, 22, leave for Real Madrid.
      Earlier in the year, Juve looked poised to extend Ronaldo’s contract by a year, but no talks have materialised.
      United are also keeping tabs on their former player, and would be willing to include Paul Pogba, 28, as part of the deal, Gazzetta say.
      But Ronaldo is said to earn near £540,000-a-week, which could cause a stumbling block in any move.
      United are closing in on a deal worth around £80million for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, 21, which could be a priority signing.

      France star Paul Pogba may have breached Uefa’s Euro 2020 coronavirus rules by going into stands to give away his shirt

      by

      PAUL POGBA could reportedly have breached Uefa’s Euros coronavirus rules by going into the stands to give away his shirt. The Manchester United midfielder was a standout in the 2018 World Cup winners’ opening game of the delayed European Championship.

      His sublime pass to Lucas Hernandez set up France’s winning goal as Mats Hummels comically volleyed into his own net.
      Pogba’s performance alongside Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante saw him pick up the man of the match award.
      The playmaker was so delighted he went into the stands and gave out his shirt in a heartfelt moment – it is not known whether he was celebrating with a random fan or family member.
      But according to BeIN Sports, it could land him trouble with Uefa and leave him facing a probe.
      It was claimed on air that Pogba may have breached Covid-19 protocols by going into the stands.
      And, if Uefa deem that he has, it could lead to punishment for the 28-year-old, who starred in France’s World Cup winning side three years ago.
      Uefa are yet to comment on the incident.
      It was an otherwise flawless performance by the former Juventus man, but he was caught up in a bizarre incident with Antonio Rudiger before half-time.

      Antonio Rudiger appears to put his teeth into Paul Pogba’s back

      Pogba said after the game that the Chelsea defender BIT his back in a strange moment that went unpunished.
      Pogba said: “It was nothing big. You saw the television pictures and it is all over now, in the past.
      “He nibbled a little bit and I felt it so I told the ref but I am not crying for a yellow or a red card.
      “Me and Toni have known each other for a long time and I just want to play football.
      “He has not received any card and I don’t want him suspended because of that situation. We hugged at the end and it is over.”

      Man Utd reach Jadon Sancho transfer agreement over £80m deal as terms are agreed with Borussia Dortmund winger

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed personal terms with Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. United have been tracking the England international for the past two seasons and failed in a summer move last year.

      But they have now moved one step closer to finally signing their target having struck a deal with the player himself.
      According to Fabrizio Romano, Sancho has agreed a contract until 2026.
      Still, United are yet to agree a transfer fee but have started negotiations with Dortmund, who rate the forward at around £80m.
      The two clubs were unable to come to terms last summer, as Dortmund demanded £108m.
      At the time, United were unwilling to match the price tag and instead moved for Edison Cavani, 34, on a free transfer.
      In the period since, the German giants dropped their valuation and opened the door to selling Sancho, due to financial strains amid the coronavirus pandemic.
      And United made it clear they were still after their man, with the England international, 21, also pushing for a move to Old Trafford.
      Sancho, a former City academy graduate, is currently on international duty ahead of the delayed European Championships.

      He is joined by United stars Dean Henderson, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford.
      Sancho was believed to have wanted a move to United last year with his performances being affected after the deal collapsed.
      But he brilliantly re-found his form after the new year and ended the season with 16 goals and 20 assists in his 28 appearances.
      He helped Dortmund lift the German Cup, scoring twice in the final, easily earning a call up to his first major international tournament.

      Ederson fires penalty into top corner and shows David de Gea how it’s done as Man City gear up for Chelsea final

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY goalkeeper Ederson showed David De Gea how to take a penalty as he practised ahead of the Champions League final.The Brazil international proved he is not only getting ready to defend his goal as City manager Pep Guardiola considers naming him as a penalty taker should it go to a shootout tonight.

      The 27-year-old gave it a go during the Citizens’ training in Porto and the results are very promising for the Manchester giants.
      One of the former Benfica star’s spot-kicks were filmed and he was shown sending the ball to the top right corner with ease.
      Several Champions League finals have been decided on penalties through the years.
      Tonight could be no different as Ederson, as well as Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, may have to fire a shot.
      This comes after Wednesday’s Europa League final between Manchester United and Villarreal, which was decided during a penalty thriller.
      Ederson’s United counterpart De Gea endured a poor display during the shootout as he couldn’t save any of the Yellow Submarine’s 11 spot-kicks.
      De Gea was also the only player to miss his penalty, which led to Villarreal’s first-ever European trophy.
      According to TNT Sports, Ederson took on 11 penalties in training and converted a whopping ten of them.

      The City goalkeeper revealed earlier this week he wanted the crucial fifth penalty.
      He said: “I am [on the list to take a penalty].
      “I don’t need to train that much, but the fifth one, I’m taking it. The last one, the decisive, I’ll ask for it.”
      He added to the Manchester Evening News: “If the final goes to penalties, I’m going to ask to take it because I’m ready for it.
      “In training sessions sometimes I practise taking them like if it was a game.
      “It’s true that our scoring rate on penalties isn’t the best, we missed some during the season, but the team is ready for any outcome during the game.”
