    Man Utd, Arsenal and Barcelona transfer blow as Wolves ‘win battle’ to keep £75m star Ruben Neves

    Yet all three have been put off by Wolves’ eye-watering demand of £75million for the midfielder, as the interested teams believe his actual worth is nearer to £45m.
    Neves was a £15m signing from Porto five years ago and has made 212 appearances for Wolves.
    And the fact he looks set to stay will be a massive boost for manager Bruno Lage, whose team suffered a major dip in form at the end of last season.
    Midfielder Moutinho, meanwhile, seems certain to leave.

    Lage has made clear his desire for Moutinho, who will turn 36 in September, to remain at Molineux.
    Yet Roma manager Jose Mourinho is a massive fan and wants to lure him to the Stadio Olimpico.
    The Portugal international started all but four of Wolves’ 38 Premier League matches last season — scoring two goals — and wanted a two-year extension.
    Romain Saiss, John Ruddy and Fernando Marcal have all left as free agents.

    Man Utd out to HIJACK Arsenal’s Lisandro Martinez transfer after Gunners put in third bid for Ajax defender

    MANCHESTER UNITED are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.

    But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
    Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
    However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
    Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.

    Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
    Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
    They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Martinez from United.
    He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.

    It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
    Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
    Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
    He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.

    That means United would listen to offers for Alex Telles and Brandon Williams who have played for them at left-back in the last couple of years.
    Ten Hag remains keen on Ajax forward Antony – however the price tag of more than £70m is likely to be a big stumbling block. More

    MANCHESTER UNITED have been quoted £103million by Borussia Dortmund for Jude Bellingham next summer, according to reports.Liverpool are also interested in the England ace, 19.
    Elsewhere, Tyrell Malacia is moving closer to becoming United’s first signing of the summer.
    The Red Devils have hijacked the Dutch left-back’s transfer to Lyon, have personal terms agreed and are set to complete a first capture of the off-season.
    United have also agreed a £74 million deal for top target Frenkie de Jong, according to reports.
    The Red Devils had been in a stand-off with Barcelona over a final fee for the Dutch midfielder, but they have made a breakthrough.
    And reports suggest that Manchester United have NO plans to sell Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

    Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
    The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
    But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
    Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
    However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
    Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.

    United still want Ruben Neves
    Fabrizio Romano has said on The United Stand YouTube channel that Ruben Neves is still on Manchester United’s radar.
    “A name I keep hearing around Manchester United is Ruben Neves. He’s a player who’s always [spoken of] around Manchester United since last summer, too.
    “Bu the answer I’m always receiving on Ruben Neves and Manchester United is it depends on the fee because when Wolves side they discuss about £86.2million for Ruben Neves it is something Manchester United would not do so they want to find smart solutions.”

    Koul runnings
    Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.
    It has been claimed that the Senegal international has been added to Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist in his quest to bolster his backline.
    The Blues boss is desperate for reinforcements in defence after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departed as free agents.
    Koulibaly has also been a long-time target for Man Utd.

    Man United ‘near Malacia agreement’
    Man United are edging close to completing the signing of Feyenoord ace Tyrell Malacia, according to Fabrizio Romano.
    Malacia’s agents are in direct contact with the Red Devils to sort out personal terms, it was added.
    United are confident they can get a deal done for the left-back, despite strong interest from Lyon.
    If so, Feyenoord will receive €15m plus €2m in add-ons for Malacia, Romano stated.

    ICYMI
    PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
    That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
    The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
    United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
    The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.

    Man Utd make Bachmann swoop
    Manchester United target Daniel Bachmann is the “frontrunner” to become Dean Henderson‘s replacement at Old Trafford, according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.
    Having seen a move for Newcastle shotstopper Karl Darlow deteriorate, United are now hoping to sign Bachmann.
    According to Goal, United have approached the Hornets about Bachmann’s services, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the Austria international is in talks over a move to the Theatre of Dreams.

    Nani to go Down Under
    Man United star Nani is poised to become big Down Under … by landing a move to Australian club Melbourne Victory.
    The Portugal winger has spent the past six months in Italy with Venezia, and has a year left on his contract.
    However the Venice outfit will release Nani, 35, following their relegation from Serie A.
    And Aussie reports claim A-League side Victory will snap him up as a marquee signing for the new season.

    Lindelof’s new tatt
    Man United star Victor Lindelof has shown off his incredible new back tattoo while on holiday.
    The Swede often shows off his arm sleeves while wearing Man Utd’s colours on the football pitch.
    And he has now added an incredibly detailed back tattoo to his collection.
    Lindelof‘s back piece features Roman sculptures having crowns placed on their heads by an emperor-type figure, with detailed globes on either shoulder blade.
    On the centre-back’s left shoulder blade, it shows the continents of Asia, Africa and Oceania.
    And on the right is the North and South Pacific sea, with North and South America.

    Henderson set for Forest move
    Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper expects to tie the knot with Dean Henderson next week – once the Manchester United goalie returns from his honeymoon.
    Henderson married his girlfriend in Rome last weekend and is currently enjoying the second week of his honeymoon break.
    The 25-year-old keeper is expected to return to England this weekend and will then undergo a Forest medical as he closes in on a year-long loan deal with the Premier League newcomers.
    Henderson should put pen to paper on the deal early next week before heading for Alicante with his new Forest team-mates for their pre-season training camp in Spain.

    Rab race
    Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
    The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
    And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
    Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
    Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
    Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
    There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.

    Eye of the Hag-er
    Erik Ten Hag is close to making Tyrell Malacia his first signing as Manchester United boss and he has liked the defender for some time.
    United are reportedly set to hijack Lyon’s move for the Feyenoord star in a £14m deal.
    And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
    Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
    Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
    He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.

    Lang jump
    Anthony Elanga was inches away from breaking a world record in pre-season training.
    The 20-year-old made a 63 inch box jump – just four short of the world record.
    The winger recorded a new personal best, just a tad off American record holder Chris Spell.
    Elanga shared a video of the monster leap with his followers on Tik Tok.
    The topless star worked up a sweat as he prepares for life under new manager Erik ten Hag.
    The Sweden international suggested he would welcome some new players too and claimed competition within the squad is “vital for success”.

    Luk at that
    Inter Milan fans turned out in force to get a glimpse of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
    The ex-Man Utd man arrived in Milan for a medical today after Chelsea agreed a £6.9million fee to ship the 29-year-old out on loan.
    And Lukaku grinned broadly as he waved to adoring fans from the window of the Italian Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Milan.
    The Chelsea flop waved and gave a thumbs up to the crowd who had defied a warning from Inter Ultras NOT to welcome Lukaku back to the club.
    Scorned Curva Nord fanatics urged fans not to “run and drool” after Lukaku following his return.
    Instead they claimed he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.

    Hey Jude
    Liverpool lead of clutch of clubs looking to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
    That’s according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who’ve priced Jurgen Klopp’s side as 9/4 favourites for his coveted signature.
    Champions Manchester City are second in the betting market at 6/1 despite the imminent £42million arrival of Kalvin Phillips.
    Further behind at bigger prices are Manchester United and Arsenal, who are available at 16/1 and 20/1 respectively.
    Chelsea are offered at 25/1, while Antonio Conte’s Tottenham are the outsiders of the field at 33/1.

    Real Deal
    Dortmund have reportedly named next summer’s price for star man Jude Bellingham amid interest from a host of Europe’s elite clubs.
    The 19-year-old has racked up 148 professional appearances for Birmingham, Dortmund and England.
    And his fine form and maturity in the Bundesliga has alerted a number of clubs.
    According to SportBild, Premier League duo Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on the midfielder.
    Elsewhere in Europe, Real Madrid are plotting a move for Bellingham to complete their midfield for the next decade.
    A move to the Bernabeu would see Bellingham play alongside fellow teenager Eduardo Camavinga and big money signing Aurelien Tchouameni.

    Super Sadio
    Sadio Mane has got straight to work ahead of pre-season with Bayern Munich as he worked out shirtless in Palma de Mallorca.
    The 30-year-old left Liverpool after six trophy-laden years in a £35million move to the German champions.
    Mane admits wanting a “new challenge” was the reasoning behind his decision to leave the Merseyside club.
    He said: “Obviously it is strange – really, really strange – to no longer be a Liverpool player.
    “But of course I had a great time, an unbelievable time. We won a lot.
    “My life is always (about a) challenge and when it came I said to the club that I want to leave, I want to go somewhere else to see a new challenge.
    “It is not anything else, it is just a challenge because for me I want to always be challenging myself to get better and better.”

    Who had worse Luk?
    Former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson has compared Chelsea’s signing of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United’s deal with Paul Pogba.
    He told Paddy Power: “Yeah, it has gone bad – you could see problems in the Jose Mourinho days. If Jose Mourinho couldn’tget a handle on this guy, then you wonder who else could.
    “Look, he’s had some good games but so he should for the money he’s cost Manchester United.
    “And it is astonishing when you think of the amount of good appearances compared to the amount they spent on him, it makes the cost feel even more astronomical.
    “I think Man United has been a really difficult place to manage and ten Hag as a real job on there. But he’s helped by getting Pogba out the way.
    “I read that he was offered £290,000 a week and he didn’t think that was enough – what has the game come to! What a cheek.
    “I hope Man united didn’t offer him that sort of money because if he’d have accepted it, it wouldn’t have helped them in the coming season.”

    Not Will-ing
    Liverpool are demanding at least £15million for Neco Williams after rejecting an offer from Nottingham Forest.
    Sun Sport exclusively revealed on Sunday that Steve Cooper’s newly-promoted side were closing in on the Reds defender and Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves.
    The £35million double swoop comes after they nabbed Union Berlin’s Taiwo Awoniyi in a club-record £17.2m move.
    However, the Daily Mail now claims that Forest must cough up more if they want to get Williams.
    The 21-year-old shone on loan at Fulham in the Championship as he helped them to become champions and return to the Premier League.
    Those displays have led to huge interest in the defender with Forest leading the chase.

    Man United join ‘Tielemans transfer race’
    Man United have reportedly joined Arsenal in the hunt for Youri Tielemans.
    The Times claims Leicester’s midfield star, 25, is “of interest” to Erik ten Hag this summer.
    And Tielemans features on a shortlist of playmakers the Dutchman is interested in signing.
    The Belgium international has been a long-term target for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
    But the Gunners now risk seeing their move hijacked – just like Chelsea have done with Leeds’ Raphinha.
    Man United target issued warning
    Man United target Anthony has been warned not to go on strike to force a move to Man United.
    Reports suggested the Ajax star could be taking the extreme step to ensure the club let him leave after he failed to report back for pre-season training.
    But former Ajax boss Aad de Mos dismissed the rumours, but advised Anthony to be aware of his reputation if true.
    De Mos told Online Wedden 24: “That doesn’t come from Antony; it comes more from the agents usually.
    “I don’t think it’s very wise for his reputation. Ajax is free to ask what they want because he still has a long-term contract.
    “He has to be careful with it; it could be a disadvantage to himself because Ten Hag and United could say: we are no longer interested in a player who does that.”
    Ronaldo’s partner stuns in gym-wear
    Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez stunned in a figure-hugging top and yoga pants as she took a stroll with her children in Madrid.
    The 28-year-old is back in the Spanish capital after spending time in Majorca and Ibiza with friends and family.
    Ronaldo, Georgina and the kids stayed in a huge rural retreat at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains.
    The villa has its own gym, pool surrounded by palm trees, several hot tubs, a beach volleyball court, a mini-football pitch and is even rumoured to have an ‘underground erotic room’.

    Dortmund ‘set £103m Bellingham fee’
    Borussia Dortmund have reportedly slapped a £103m bid on wonderkid Jude Bellingham.
    But that will be next summer as the German club plan to retain his services next season.
    And Dortmund are expecting offers from Liverpool, Man United, and Real Madrid, according to SportBild.
    However, the German club will accept no less than the substantial figure for the 19-year-old, the report added.
    Old Ronaldo training clip resurfaces
    A clip has resurfaced taking Manchester United fans on a trip down memory lane during Cristiano Ronaldo’s humble beginnings.
    It shows what an influence legendary team-mates like Roy Keane had on his career as he initially struggled to adjust to English football, in the Twitter clip.
    The Portuguese superstar is shown losing his man down the left flank as he failed to track back.
    Keane quickly notices his young team-mate being caught off guard and is heard yelling, “Come on Cristiano”.
    Ronaldo’s blunder led to a goal and the legendary United captain, who is known for his tough demeanor, was not at all happy.
    Keane blasted the Real great as he yelled: “Cristiano, come on!”
    Arsenal make third Martinez offer
    Arsenal have made a third offer to Ajax for Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez – but they now face a massive battle with Manchester United, CHARLIE WYETT WRITES.
    The north London club have improved the financial terms of their second bid of £34million for the centre-back.
    But adding extra add-ons is unlikely to tempt Ajax who know that United are set to enter the fight with a first bid.
    Ajax believe they are in a strong position and expect to get nearer their £43m asking price.
    Martinez, 24, who is just 5ft 9ins tall and can also play at left-back, has indicated that he would be happy to move to Arsenal, whose first bid of £26m was rejected.
    But the prospect of working with former boss Erik ten Hag could change his mind.
    Nani to go Down Under
    Man United star Nani is poised to become big Down Under … by landing a move to Australian club Melbourne Victory, STEVE GOODMAN WRITES.
    The Portugal winger has spent the past six months in Italy with Venezia, and has a year left on his contract.
    However the Venice outfit will release Nani, 35, following their relegation from Serie A.
    And Aussie reports claim A-League side Victory will snap him up as a marquee signing for the new season.

    Bergwijn, 24, has also admitted that he is seeking a transfer as he looks to play regular football.
    And it seems Everton have the upper hand as they are willing to offer him more money than Ajax, report De Telegraaf.
    The Toffees are reportedly ready to match Tottenham’s asking price too, believed to be in the region of £21million.
    But Bergwijn is said to prefer a move to Ajax due to the Dutch champions being able to offer Champions League football.

    Playing regularly in his native country could also boost the forward’s chances of being in Holland’s World Cup squad.
    But Ajax have failed to reach an agreement with Tottenham, seeing a £17m offer rejected.
    However, Spurs’ interest in Ajax winger Antony means a deal involving a player exchange could be on the table.
    Tottenham also want Richarlison and Everton are ready to sell the Brazilian.

    Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal LATEST, transfer announced IMMINENTLY, Lisandro Martinez THIRD offer, Raphinha BLOW – latest

    ARSENAL’s announcement of Gabriel Jesus is imminent.The Brazil striker has had his medical with the Gunners and has been pictured with the club’s technical director Edu.
    However, Arsenal look to have missed out on Leeds forward Raphinha with Chelsea stealing a march on the transfer.
    The Leeds forward, 25, has been one of the Gunners’ top targets but the Blues have reportedly agreed a fee for him.

    More on Martinez
    Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
    Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
    They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Lisandro Martinez from United.
    He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.
    It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
    Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
    Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
    He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.

    S-mart money
    Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
    The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
    But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
    Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
    However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
    Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.

    AC Milan turn attention to Saliba
    Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim Serie A Champions AC Milan are set to turn their attention to Arsenal defender William Saliba this summer – after missing out on Sven Botman, who is set to join Newcastle United.
    CM say that Milan will now turn their attention to Saliba – but as previous reports claim, Arsenal will only accept an offer for the five-time France international if ‘unavoidable’.
    He has a contract at Arsenal until June 2024.

    Hec of a session
    Hector Bellerin was pictured training with Arsenal on Wednesday.
    And he knows “first-hand” of interest from Atleti and it is making him rethink his future.
    He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign in Seville.
    The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped them win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.
    Bellerin made 32 total appearances and provided five assists from right-back.
    He has made no secret of his desire to remain at the Estadio Benito Villamarin after releasing an emotional statement to Betis fans.
    But it is believed that Betis could struggle to turn Bellerin’s temporary stay into a permanent switch due to financial reasons.
    The defender looks set to depart Arsenal this summer either way, having just one year left on his contract.

    Work of Art
    Mikel Arteta appears to be quite the motivator when it comes to managing his Arsenal team.
    The Spaniard has plenty of inspiration for his players on the walls at both the Emirates and the club’s London Colney training base.
    A sneak peek at Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing: Arsenal was released yesterday, which gave an inside look at the Gunners’ dressing room.
    At one point it shows Arteta delivering a rousing speech to his team with pictures of wolves displayed on a screen behind him.
    And the decision to use wolves to motivate his players appears to be a nod to the great Arsene Wenger.
    The Frenchman is claimed to have once drawn a wolf on the board in the dressing room and telling his players to act like the hungry pack animals in a match his side went on to win.

    ICYMI
    PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
    That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
    The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
    United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
    The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.

    Raph news
    Raphinha’s agent was spotted at the Nou Camp less than 24 hours after Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign the Leeds winger.
    The West Londoners dealt a hammer blow to Arsenal’s hopes of signing the Brazilian on Tuesday by tabling a bid north of £55million for his services.
    A deal has yet to be reached and talks with the player’s agent – former Barcelona ace Deco – are set to take place later this week.
    But Barca could be poised to land the winger after Deco was spotted at the Nou Camp with club chiefs Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip and president Joan Laporta.
    Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro captured footage of the group leaving the stadium and shared it on Twitter.

    Man United join ‘Tielemans transfer race’
    Man United have reportedly joined Arsenal in the hunt for Youri Tielemans.
    The Times claims Leicester’s midfield star, 25, is “of interest” to Erik ten Hag this summer.
    And Tielemans features on a shortlist of playmakers the Dutchman is interested in signing.
    The Belgium international has been a long-term target for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
    But the Gunners now risk seeing their move hijacked – just like Chelsea have done with Leeds’ Raphinha.

    Arsenal urged to sign another striker
    Arsenal have been urged to bring in another striker despite signing Gabriel Jesus.
    That’s the view of football pundit Noel Whelan who reckons the Gunners need a six-footer to be a menace in the box.
    Whelan told Football Insider: “You can never have enough options.
    “Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah – these are both players who like to run off the last defender’s shoulder and spend most of their time in and around the box.
    “If there’s an opportunity to bring someone in who is six-foot and above – a different type of player, someone who can attack balls into the box – then that could be worthwhile.
    “It would give Arsenal that out ball if they are struggling. I’m sure it’s something Mikel Arteta will be looking into.”

    Arsenal ‘miss out on Doucoure’
    Arsenal have reportedly lost out to Crystal Palace in the transfer chase for Lens star Cheick Doucoure.
     The Guardian claims that it is Palace that are winning the race to sign him after they agreed an initial £18million fee with Lens.
    Doucoure is now allegedly set to agree a five-year contract at Selhurst Park after agreeing personal terms.
    However, they have returned with an improved bid which could potentially end up being worth over £22m depending on performance related add-ons.
    The move will come as a bitter blow to Arsenal, who launched a late move earlier this month, but a major boost for Palace boss Patrick Vieira.

    Rab race
    Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
    The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
    And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
    Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
    Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
    Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
    There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.

    Ball rolling
    Arsenal defender Daniel Ballard is reportedly set to sign for Sunderland after his move to Burnley collapsed.
    Ballard, 22, reportedly arrived at Turf Moor for a medical but terms could not be agreed and talks broke down at the last minute.
    According to Football Insider, however, the centre-back’s camp moved quickly and he is now set to join the Black Cats.
    The same report claims a deal has been agreed between Sunderland and the Gunners.
    Ballard has already completed a medical at the Stadium of Light and the agreement will become official within the next 24 hours.
    Sunderland manager Alex Neil is looking to boost his squad following their return to the Championship.

    Mad for you
    Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a transfer for Hector Bellerin.
    Bellerin, 27, spent the season on loan at Real Betis and a move back to La Liga could be on the cards.
    ElDesmarque report Atletico are “already negotiating” with the Gunners over the full-back, who has told the North London club of his desire to leave.
    Bellerin knows “first-hand” of interest from the Madrid side and it is making him rethink his future.
    He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign.
    The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped the Seville outfit win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.

    Tierney ‘set for Arsenal stay’
    Defender Kieran Tierney will remain at Arsenal this summer, despite interest from Man City.
    City have been linked with a £50m move for the full-back.
    But that rumour has been rubbished by Football Scotland who claim City haven’t made a formal bid for the Scotland star.
    And the report adds that Tierney’s camp are confident he will be at The Emirates next season.

    Hey Jude
    Liverpool lead of clutch of clubs looking to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
    That’s according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who’ve priced Jurgen Klopp’s side as 9/4 favourites for his coveted signature.
    Champions Manchester City are second in the betting market at 6/1 despite the imminent £42million arrival of Kalvin Phillips.
    Further behind at bigger prices are Manchester United and Arsenal, who are available at 16/1 and 20/1 respectively.
    Chelsea are offered at 25/1, while Antonio Conte’s Tottenham are the outsiders of the field at 33/1.

    Primed and ready
    Arsenal and Amazon have confirmed that the hugely-anticipated doc will be released on Thursday, August 4, 2022.
    Cameras will follow the Gunners around this season providing brand new insight into Mikel Arteta’s squad.
    Amazon have also announced the staggered release of the episodes:
    Episodes 1-3 – Thursday August 4Episodes 4-6 – Thursday August 11Episodes 7-8 – Thursday August 18

    Out of Luc
    Lucas Torreira revealed he has NO chance of staying at Arsenal after being brutally told there is no place for him in Mikel Arteta’s side.
    Speaking to El Telegrafo, the 2021 LaLiga winner was asked what the chances are of him remaining at Arsenal.
    To which he said: “There is no chance. From the beginning they told me that I didn’t have a place.
    “So I don’t want to stay either because I suffered a lot, it cost me a lot to adapt and my idea is to go to Italy or Spain.
    “What I wanted was to stay at Fiorentina, but it didn’t happen for various reasons, so we’ll look for a new direction.”

    Mo of that
    Mohamed Elneny has vowed to rejoin Egyptian club Al Mokawloon when he leaves Arsenal.
    Club president Mohsen Salah insisted the defensive midfielder has promised to end his career with the Mountain Wolves.
    Salah said: “Players who represented Al Mokawloon are always loyal. It is something you learn here.
    “We are proud of Elneny and Salah, who started their careers here.
    “Elneny’s visit made us really happy, and it was a good chance for us to give him honorary lifetime membership.
    “What made us even happier is that Elneny promised us that he will come back to end his career here with Al Mokawloon.”

    Merson ‘impressed by Arsenal transfers’
    Paul Merson reckons Arsenal’s transfer business this summer will see them compete for a top-four spot with Man United and Tottenham next season.
    He said to Sky Sports: “I like what Arsenal have done to get that over the line.
    “I think they’re in for a good season. There’s a project going on and they’ll be fighting for fourth place with Man United and Tottenham.
    “If they can get into the Champions League and have a good cup run – the Europa is winnable – with the squad they’re building they’ve got a chance of getting some silverware this season.”

    Raphinha agent spotted with Barcelona
    Raphinha’s agent was spotted meeting with Barcelona chiefs after he orchestrated the Leed ace’s move to Chelsea.
    The Blues are poised to complete a £55m transfer for the Brazilian.
    But Deco, who represents Raphinha was captured leaving Barcelona’s offices with the club’s hierarchy hours after the deal was finalised.
    However, it’s not clear what was discussed in the get-together although Barca have also been strongly linked with the winger.
    Daniel Ballard’s Burnley transfer ‘collapses’
    Arsenal ace Daniel Ballard’s move to Burnley has “broken down”, reports suggest.
    According to The Athletic, Ballard, 22, arrived at Turf Moor for a medical but terms could not be agreed.
    And thus a deal collapsed, which works as a significant blow for new manager Vincent Kompany who was keen on bringing the Gunners’ academy graduate to the relegated Championship outfit.
    The centre-back’s impressive loan spells at Blackpool and Millwall as well as his stunning performances with Northern Ireland are what caught Kompany’s eye.
    Torreira reveals price tag
    Lucas Torreira doubts he will return to Boca Juniors due to the transfer fee he commands.
    Torreira claims he’s worth just under £13m, which makes a potential move to Boca “difficult.”
    The midfielder made the admission to El Telegrafo, while ruling out a future with Arsenal.
    He said: “Boca is very difficult.
    “It was difficult after what happened to my mother and I really wanted to go there, then I had a very good season and I have one year left on my contract with Arsenal.
    “Any team that wants me has to buy me, which would be around €15m, so that’s why I see it as difficult, although I never lose hope.
    “I feel a lot of love for that club and at some point I would like to play there.”
    Tielemans would be ‘ideal’
    Ray Parlour reckons Youri Tielemans is the ideal man to add some steel to Arsenal’s midfield.
    Parlour said to talkSPORT: “I’m looking down the spine of the team and I think that’s where they are trying to strengthen.
    “Tielemans is a really good ball player they’ve got Partey who had his injury problems last season and missed quite a bulk of the games.
    “You got Lokonga who will get better but I think that’s the area. Xhaka is that bit older. That’s the area they really need to look at.
    “When you get the ball back you need that quality to get through the lines to Odegaard and Smith Rowe and Martinelli. Tielemans could be ideal.”
    Arsenal make third Martinez offer
    Arsenal have made a third offer to Ajax for Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez – but they now face a massive battle with Manchester United, CHARLIE WYETT WRITES.
    The north London club have improved the financial terms of their second bid of £34million for the centre-back.
    But adding extra add-ons is unlikely to tempt Ajax who know that United are set to enter the fight with a first bid.
    Ajax believe they are in a strong position and expect to get nearer their £43m asking price.
    Martinez, 24, who is just 5ft 9ins tall and can also play at left-back, has indicated that he would be happy to move to Arsenal, whose first bid of £26m was rejected.
    But the prospect of working with former boss Erik ten Hag could change his mind.
    Bellerin ‘seduced by Atletico interest’
    Hector Bellerin is reportedly being seduced by the opportunity to join Atletico Madrid this summer.
    Bellerin returned to the Gunners from a loan stint with Real Betis who are also keen on signing him.
    However, the full-back’s being swayed by Atletico who have waded into the fray for his signature.
    The La Liga giants have initiated contact with the Gunners over Bellerin’s availability, according to ElDesmarque.
    And Bellerin’s said to be open to the idea of joining Atletico, although he’s holding out for an offer from Betis who’s still his first option.

    And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
    Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
    Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
    He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.

    Chelsea braced for Levi Colwill transfer bid from Southampton as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to add to youth revolution

    SOUTHAMPTON are considering a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to continue his youth revolution.The Saints have already snapped up two young players this summer in Gavin Bazunu – a goalkeeper from Manchester City – and 20-year-old defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, who arrived from German club Vfl Bochum.

    And now Hasenhuttl wants to make another raid on Chelsea’s youth ranks.
    The south coast side took three players from Cobham last summer with Tino Livramento and Dynel Simeu joining on permanent deals as well as Armando Broja spending last season on loan.
    Now Colwill is in Southampton’s sights – with Premier League rivals Leicester City also tracking his progress.
    The defender, 19, spent last season on loan with Championship side Huddersfield, who reached the play-off final where they lost to Nottingham Forest.

‘agree fee’ for Raphinha, Sterling also targeted in £105m swoop
    The England U21 international has previously expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea and impress Thomas Tuchel, who is short on defenders after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
    Colwill said: “For me, playing for Chelsea will always be the main aim right now because it’s my club.

    Liverpool are willing to sell their academy graduate after snapping-up Calvin Ramsey from Aberdeen to play back-up to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
