      But now it is understood he could be offloaded for just £39.5m.
      According to Calcio Mercato, Jose Mourinho’s men would be open to selling Abraham for little more than the £35m they paid Chelsea in 2021.
      It comes following a difficult season for the ex-Blues man in which he has scored nine times in 46 appearances.
      That is a significant drop off from the 27 goals he registered in his first campaign in Italy.

      Speaking about his recent struggles, Abraham said: “I know I haven’t been the real me, I know I haven’t been playing the best I can be, but I am human at the end of the day.
      “I’ve been low in confidence, but today I had to show the fans I’m still me and I am still willing to fight for the team and do as much as I can for the team.”
      Yet despite his poor form, Man Utd, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are all reportedly interested in the 11-cap England man.
      But the Red Devils are also looking at alternative options – namely Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Tottenham’s Harry Kane.

      The Spaniard, who began his coaching career with Real Sociedad’s B side, said: “I’ve been in football for many years, rumours are normal but we still have a lot to achieve.
      “That’s why my head is 100 per cent here for the last few months.

      Spurs have been searching for a new boss since Conte departed in March.
      But they look set to finish the campaign with an interim head coach.
      That had originally been Cristian Stellini’s – Conte’s No2 – until he was sacked following the 6-1 thrashing at Newcastle and Ryan Mason was put in caretaker charge.

      Apart from two loan spells, Nelson has spent his entire career at Arsenal but now appears to be weighing up his future.
      Well-connected football journalist Fabrizio Romano reports the star has knocked back Arsenal’s attempts to sign him up to a new deal.
      The transfer guru adds that negotiations are still ongoing as Arsenal look to cling on to the midfielder.
      But clubs from England including Brighton and some sides from abroad are believed to be monitoring the situation closely.

      Nelson will be available for free for any interested parties and at 23 still has plenty of years ahead of him.
      While he has struggled for first-team football in North London, his loan moves to Hoffenheim in 2018-19 and Feyenoord last season both showed positive signs.
      But he has made only eight Premier League appearances for Arsenal this season as Mikel Arteta opted for a very consistent line-up.
      Within those eight outings he has got an impressive three goals and two assists, including scoring arguably the most dramatic strike of Arsenal’s entire campaign.

      The Glazers are looking to sell up for a world-record £6billion after 18 years at the helm.
      They received fresh offers from British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim last month.
      But the Athletic claims boss Ten Hag will be limited to just a £100million transfer kitty, regardless of the final takeover decision.
      It’s said that United cannot go on a mammoth spending spree due to Financial Fair Play rules.

      Ten Hag has made no secret of his desire to reinforce the squad with several world-class players.
      But he will have to axe numerous current stars if he wants more transfer funds added to the pot.
      It means United may only be able to strengthen one or two key areas this summer.
      The Red Devils are looking for a new goalkeeper amid doubts over David De Gea’s expiring contract.

      Ten Hag also wants a new centre forward, with a midfielder and winger also on his wish list.
      But unless buyers are found for misfits like Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek, Ten Hag will have to see just how far £100m will stretch in the current climate.
      Asked about summer funds amid takeover talks, Ten Hag said: “I don’t have an influence on that… also I don’t know.
      “The only thing what I know is that Man United is one of the biggest clubs and I think it’s among maybe the two biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
      “So I think this club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League.
      “But in football you need funds to construct squads because at the end of the day, the level from your players makes you successful or not.
      “Everyone knows you need funds to construct a squad. High level players cost a lot of money.
      “I, we, see this as a project. In a project you are in windows, you strengthen your squad needs or make refreshments, so you get more balance and you bring young players in.
      “But at the end of the day we want to be in the Champions League and we want to compete and knock them all out, so then we have a way to go.” More

      The Red Devils made Maguire the world’s most expensive defender when they swooped for the star in 2019.
      But Maguire has struggled to convince some fans since his £80m move from Leicester and has lost his first-team place this season.
      Portuguese newspaper O Jogo report that United are making moves to find a new centre-back – and Maguire’s team-mate Fernandes could play a role.
      The midfielder shares an agent with United target Goncalo Inacio, which could be crucial for the negotiations.

      Inacio has played for Sporting Lisbon since 2020 after emerging from their youth academy.

      However, he reportedly wants to leave The Kingdom as girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez is allegedly unhappy and eager to return to Madrid.
      He has, however, had one club take themselves out of the running to sign him.
      Bromley took their chance to have a bit of fun at the expense of the former United star.
      Non-league sponsors Vanarama tweeted a mocked-up image of Ronaldo wearing a Bromley shirt, captioned: “It’s not too late if you want to play in white next season, @Cristiano,” with the pair of eyes emoji.

      Ronaldo would favour a move back to Real Madrid, but Spanish outlet El Nacional claims that Los Blancos are only willing to offer the 38-year-old an ambassadorial role at the club. More

      He has impressed for the LaLiga giants in his 27 appearances but could be sold to relieve some of the club’s financial issues.

      He has been being chased by some of the world’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United and Manchester City.
