      Sport claim the German champions are locked in talks with the Spain international over a free transfer to the Allianz Arena.
      But they claim there is a major stumbling block in the deal.
      De Gea’s wage demands are said to be too high for the Bundesliga big boys.

      They had also offered Maguire a £6m payment to leave.
      But the former captain is holding out for more than TWICE that with him facing a wage cut to move to The London Stadium.
      Maguire would have to reduce his wages from £190,000 a week to £120,000 – which would come to a shortfall of £14.5m over a four-year contract.
      He already has two years left of his current deal at Old Trafford which would be worth £19.7million.

      So the 30-year-old England international, understandably, does not believe the £6m offer is enough.
      He remains unhappy at his treatment at the hands of manager Erik ten Hag.
      The Dutchman stripped him of the captaincy this summer and handed the armband permanently to Bruno Fernandes.
      Maguire only started eight Premier League games under Ten Hag last season.

      Yet ahead of the club’s opening game against Wolves, he has challenged the centre-back to fight for his place or go.
      Ten Hag said: “For Harry, that is just how I described it. He has to fight for his place.
      “He has the ability to be a top class centre back and he is the best for England.
      “So why shouldn’t he be the best for us? But he has to prove it.
      “When he is not confident enough to fight then he has to go, then he has to make a decision but I’m happy with him.”
      Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard is one of the top candidates to replace Maguire.
      The French World Cup winner is desperate to move to United.
      But Pavard will cost around £35m and Ten Hag will only make the move is Maguire is sold. More

      Caicedo chose Stamford Bridge over Anfield and after completing a medical, his move will be imminently announced.

      Although lightening looks to have struck twice as Chelsea convinced the player to join them instead.
      According to The Athletic, Chelsea are closing in on a £50m deal plus add-ons.

      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had confirmed that a deal had been agreed to bring Caicedo to Merseyside.

      But now he is in line to go back after Bologna agreed an £8.6million transfer with personal terms agreed last week, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Inter have been on the scout for a striker after pulling out of signing Romelu Lukaku, who entered talks with Juventus.
      Arnautovic, 34, scored 10 in 21 games last season but suffered a foot injury towards the back end.
      The forward made his name in England with Stoke and West Ham, where he infamously forced through a move to the Chinese Super League.
      READ MORE IN football
      He was with Shanghai Port for two years before moving back to Italy with Bologna in 2021.
      Arnautovic was last summer linked with a move to Manchester United, which infuriated the Old Trafford faithful.
      After the move broke down, it was speculated that the United board pulled the plug amid supporter backlash.
      But Bologna’s director of football, Marco Di Vaio, claimed it was Arnautovic who rejected the move.

      Di Vaio told Corriere dello Sport “No, no.
      “Manchester United did not back down because of those fans, but only because Arnautovic has understood that he is at the centre of our project now and in the coming years.
      “Marko behaved like a true champion, realising what he represents for Bologna as a team and a city.”

      And more new players could soon join as manager Eddie Howe looks to bolster his squad ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League.
      Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is on Newcastle’s radar as they explore a potential loan move.
      The Gunners would prefer to sell and he could be available for around £30million – although an injury to Jurrien Timber could throw a spanner in the works.
      Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella is also an option to compete for the position with Dan Burn due to him dropping down the pecking order under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Newcastle are also looking to add a new centre-back to their squad.
      Crystal Palace star Joachim Andersen is supposedly a leading candidate, but the Eagles could demand between £40m and £50m.
      The Dane could partner the left-sided defender Sven Botman at the back and rotate with Fabian Schar.
      There is plenty of selection dilemmas for Howe elsewhere on the pitch.
