      How Chelsea could line up next season with Cristiano Ronaldo in attack as ‘Man Utd star’s agent holds transfer talks’

      by

      CHELSEA could remarkably begin the 2022/23 season with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line at Stamford Bridge.Shocking reports emerged on Saturday that the Portuguese superstar’s agent Jorge Mendes met with new Blues owner Todd Boehly last week and discussed a possible move for his client.

      Ronaldo is thought to be happy to stay at Manchester United for the beginning of a new era under Erik ten Hag.
      However, he is also reportedly concerned about the lack of summer transfer business the Red Devils have managed so far – with not a single player arriving.
      And the links to Chelsea have raised many eyebrows, not least from Blues supporters who will be pondering how Ronaldo’s arrival would leave their starting line-up.
      The ex-Real Madrid and Juventus man would undoubtedly be the focal point of the attack – particularly given the recent departure of Romelu Lukaku as he returned to Inter Milan on loan.

discuss Cristiano Ronaldo transfer with agent, new Sterling bid
      He could well be joined by two more new forward players either side of him in the form of Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele.
      Manchester City man Sterling is said to be near the top of Thomas Tuchel’s wishlist as he looks to entice the England international into a move to London.
      And Barcelona star Dembele is another player being closely monitored by Chelsea as his contract at the Nou Camp expires later this month.
      This could prove bad news for both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

      FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS – BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS
      In the midfield, Tuchel still has a plethora of options to choose from including Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho and Mason Mount – who can also play in the front three.
      Jorginho has been linked with a move away this summer, although he does not appear to be close to leaving at this time.
      Edouard Mendy will almost certainly remain Tuchel’s No1 in between the sticks.
      But the defence is preparing for a shake-up.
      Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger have both already left on free transfers.
      And Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso could follow them in the coming weeks.
      Juventus and Holland centre-back Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move to Chelsea – though they will have to fend off interest from Man Utd.
      Reece James, Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah are expected to keep their places.
      But, with the potential loss of Alonso and Ben Chilwell continuing to recover from his cruciate injury, Chelsea are looking at the possibility of signing Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa.
      If all five transfers are completed then the Blues will once again be considered Premier League title contenders alongside the ever-present Manchester City and Liverpool. More

      William Saliba ‘holds positive Arsenal contract talks and set to stay next season despite Marseille transfer interest’

      by

      WILLIAM SALIBA has reportedly held “positive” contract talks at Arsenal as the club look to tie him down to a long-term deal.The 21-year-old looks finally set to be a part of the Gunners squad three years after joining from Saint-Etienne for £27million.

      Boss Mikel Arteta said last month the France international will be integrated into his team following his impressive loan at Marseille.
      His stunning form helped the Stade Velodrome outfit finish second in the table, with his performances earning him the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award.
      Marseille are keen to turn his temporary stay into a permanent switch amid claims the club are poised to submit a £26m bid.
      But the North London giants will refuse to part ways with the youngster, with Saliba to challenge Ben White and Gabriel Magaelhaes for a starting spot.

      He told Telefoot: “I belong to Arsenal, I still have two years left.
      “I will be back with Arsenal.
      “I have played zero matches and I still want to show them my true face and have the chance to play for these fans and this great club.
      “But it doesn’t just depend on me. In any case, to leave like this, would be a shame.” More

      SunSport reported on Friday the Frenchman was on the verge of a £10.5million move with just personal terms to iron out.
      An official announcement is expected in the comings days.
      He will join the club permanently after making 17 appearances on loan this season, mainly playing in cup competitions as the understudy to Polish veteran Lukasz Fabianski.
      Other Premier League sides including Newcastle and newly-promoted Fulham were also interested in his services, but Toon ultimately went for Nick Pope following Burnley’s relegation.

      The deal will represent West Ham’s second completed transfer of the window after signing Rennes centre-back Nayef Aguerd for £30m.
      However, the spending is set to continue at West Ham as the window progresses with deals for top target Armando Broja and free agent Jesse Lingard said to be in the pipeline.

      Arsenal ‘AGREE Gabriel Jesus £45m transfer’, Gunners ‘to meet Lisandro Martinez £42m valuation’, Raphinha advanced talks

      by

      ARSENAL have AGREED a deal in principle with Man City for Gabriel Jesus, according to reports.A fee of £45m will reportedly be paid to bring the Brazilian to North London.
      And the Gunners’ spending is not set to stop there, with claims that the club are more than happy to meet Ajax’s £42m valuation of centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
      SunSport can also reveal that Arsenal are in advanced talks with Leeds winger Raphinha.
      However, Marseille are set to launch a £26million bid to sign Arsenal defender William Saliba, according to reports.
      Saliba impressed on loan at Stade Velodrome last season, helping Jorge Sampaoli’s side finish second in Ligue 1
      Should the Gunners acquire all their summer targets, here is how their team could look next season.

      Spurs fan ‘nervous’ about Jesus
      Tottenham fan and pundit Darren Ambrose is worried about Arsenal’s pursuit of Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus.
      The Gunners are likely to sign the Brazilian imminently, with Ambrose not happy about the move from a Spurs perspective.
      He told talkSPORT: “Good business all round. He has a point to prove. Being a Spurs supporter, a couple of weeks ago, I am, of course, delighted with the signings Spurs are making and the players we are being linked to.
      “But Arsenal seem to be making moves now. If this gets over the line, then he’s going with a point to prove. I say that a bit tongue-and-cheek really.
      “He has come from Manchester City and has won an abundance of trophies there. He just won the Premier League title and he has played a key role.
      “But they have brought in Erling Haaland, he couldn’t really get in as a number nine anyway, they played without a number nine, so it’s a good deal for Manchester City for £45 million and I think it’s a fantastic signing for Arsenal.
      “I think he will do very well, Gabriel Jesus. He is a goalscorer and I think with a point to prove, it’s a great signing and, as a Spurs supporter, I am nervous.”
      Wouldn’t Nket in the team
      Arsenal legend Paul Merson has claimed Eddie Nketiah wouldn’t even get in the FULHAM team.
      The Gunners recently tied the 23-year-old down to a new five-year deal as his contract was set to expire at the end of the month.
      Speaking to the Daily Star, Merse said: “All Arsenal have got up front right now is Eddie Nketiah, who recently signed a new contract when it looked like he might leave.
      “And no disrespect to Nketiah but Mikel Arteta must realise he won’t get you into the top four. Absolutely no chance. That’s a fact.
      “Nketiah can’t be spearheading your Champions League push. He’s not getting in ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison at Everton and they almost got relegated.
      “He’s not getting in at Fulham ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic and they’ve only just been promoted.
      “I’m not having a go at him but he’s not getting you top four.”
      Arsenal receive double boost
      Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney have given Arsenal a huge boost with the pair claimed to be fit for pre-season training.
      The Gunners pair both picked up knocks in early April, which saw them miss the last nine and ten Premier League games respectively.
      Their absence proved to be crucial for Mikel Arteta as the North London outfit narrowly missed out on securing Champions League football.
      But the duo are claimed to be fit in time for pre-season training, with first team players due back at London Colney on Monday.
      According to Goal’s Arsenal correspondent Charles Watts, the pair have recovered well from injury, though it is Partey that is further ahead in terms of fitness.
      Saliba ‘has positive contract talks’
      William Saliba has reportedly held “positive” contract talks at Arsenal as the club look to tie him down to a long-term deal.
      The 21-year-old looks finally set to be a part of the Gunners squad three years after joining from Saint-Etienne for £27million.
      Boss Mikel Arteta said last month the France international will be integrated into his team following his impressive loan at Marseille.
      His stunning form helped the Stade Velodrome outfit finish second in the table, with his performances earning him the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award.
      Marseille are keen to turn his temporary stay into a permanent switch amid claims the club are poised to submit a £26m bid.
      But the North London giants will refuse to part ways with the youngster, with Saliba to challenge Ben White and Gabriel Magaelhaes for a starting spot.
      Raphinha ‘delays transfer decision’
      Raphinha will wait a few days before making a decision on his future.
      Arsenal are in pole position to sign the Leeds ace.
      But he’s holding out to see if Barcelona make an offer for him, according to Actu Football.
      The report adds that Barca will only make a bid for Raphinha if Ousmane Dembele leaves the club, with Chelsea favourites to land the winger.
      Gabriel Jesus fear revealed
      Gabriel Jesus will do very well at Arsenal as he’s a goalscorer with a point to prove.
      That’s the opinion of ex-Premier League star Darren Ambrose.
      And the Spurs fan admitted he’s nervous about Jesus’ imminent arrival at The Emirates.
      Ambrose told talkSPORT: “I think he will do very well, Gabriel Jesus.
      “He is a goalscorer and I think with a point to prove, it’s a great signing and, as a Spurs supporter, I am nervous.”
      Ballard to Burnley falls through
      Arsenal defender Daniel Ballard’s move to Burnley has fallen apart at the last hurdle.
      Ballard was set to join Vincent Kompany’s side after completing a medical.
      But Ballard will remain at Arsenal as he failed to agree personal terms with Burnley, according to The Athletic.
      Leeds given dire warning
      Leeds will get relegated if they don’t invest the money they receive for Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips.
      Raphinha is set to join Arsenal, and Phillip has completed a move to Man City.
      And if Leeds don’t replace the duo, they won’t survive in the Prem next season.
      That’s according to Gabby Agbonlahor, who tweeted: “Kalvin Phillips to city, Raphina to arsenal.
      “Leeds need to invest that money wisely or they will be relegation favourites for sure.”
      Real Madrid track Kimpembe
      Real Madrid are reportedly tracking PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.
      Kimpembe is said to be frustrated with the French giants for not handing him a new contract.
      And Real are waiting in the wings to snap him up, according to Defensa Central.
      Chelsea and Arsenal were linked with Kimpembe in the past.
      Inter ‘make push for Bremer’
      Inter Milan will reportedly meet with Torino next week in order to try and buy in demand defender Gleison Bremer.
      Bremer’s been courted by several Prem sides including Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, and Arsenal.
      However, Inter are moving ahead to try and seal his signature, according to Tuttosport.
      The publication claims Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is set to jet to Torino to negotiate with their Serie A counterparts over Bremer.
      Leeds ‘want Raphinha bidding war’
      Leeds are looking to spark a bidding war for Raphinha, according to reports.
      Arsenal had an initial bid for the midfielder turned down last week,
      And football reporter Ryan Taylor reckons the Whites rejected Arsenal’s offer to whip up interest in the Brazilian.
      He told Give Me Sport: “When I spoke to a contact on Monday to try and find out about the interest, I was told that Arsenal are interested but that the kind of feeling is Leeds are looking to encourage a bidding war.
      “And Deco is also in the mix in driving up that sort of speculation. Arsenal are keen, but as of Monday, there was no significant developments. Obviously, that changed with the bid on Tuesday.”
      Man United are also interested in Raphinha.
      Nketiah gets slammed by Merson
      Paul Merson has told Arsenal to sign a new striker as Eddie Nketiah isn’t good enough to fire them into the Champions League.
      Merson vented to the Daily Star: “All Arsenal have got up front right now is Eddie Nketiah, who recently signed a new contract when it looked like he might leave.
      “And no disrespect to Nketiah but Mikel Arteta must realise he won’t get you into the top four. Absolutely no chance. That’s a fact.
      “Nketiah can’t be spearheading your Champions League push. He’s not getting in ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison at Everton and they almost got relegated.
      “He’s not getting in at Fulham ahead of Aleksandr Mitrovic and they’ve only just been promoted. I’m not having a go at him but he’s not getting you top four.”
      Tielemans to Arsenal ‘off’
      Arsenal have pulled the plug on their pursuit of Leicester ace Youri Tielemans, reports claim.
      That’s according to Express journalist Ryan Taylor who said to Give Me Sport: “It’s an interesting one. The information I had was similar to others, that it’s been pulled.
      “I was told not to write about Tielemans anymore with Arsenal and that it was very much agent-driven and has never been as close as has been suggested.
      “Which is strange because all signs were kind of pointing towards Tielemans happening with Jesus in the past few weeks.”
      Liverpool issued Raphinha plea
      Stan Collymore wants Liverpool to hijack Arsenal’s pursuit for Raphinha.
      Collymore said to Sunday People: “My message to Liverpool is, ‘Go on, get in there and get him, and future proof for the prospect of Salah leaving in a year.
      “With Arsenal, he would go there and carry on in the same vein as he plays at Leeds, where I don’t think he is as tactically aware as I’d like him to be, a lot of what he does is off the cuff.
      “If Jurgen Klopp can show the boy how to play with more tactical discipline, the Reds will have one hell of a potential threat down the left or right with a promise of goals if he stays high up the pitch rather than drifting.”
      Ten Hag advantage for United
      Erik ten Hag gives Man United a major advantage in their pursuit of Ajax players such as Anthony and Arsenal target Lisandro Martinez.
      Ten Hag worked with the duo while managing Ajax, and football reporter Peter O’Rourke reckons this puts United in pole position above their rivals in negotiations.
      O’Rourke told Give Me Sport: “I think it’s a big advantage for Manchester United in their pursuit of these Ajax players because they know ten Hag and know how he works.
      “They all, obviously, seemingly enjoyed working under him at Ajax as well.
      “I think it gives United an extra advantage in their pursuit of these players from Ajax, the opportunity to work with Erik ten Hag again.”
      Prem giants ‘met Martinez’s representatives’
      Both Man United and Arsenal are reportedly ramping up their pursuit of Ajax ace Lisandro Martinez.
      The Prem giants are locked in a battle for his signature.
      And representatives from both clubs met with Martinez’s camp in the week over a possible transfer, the Sunday Mirror claim.
      Although the Gunners are said to be winning the race for his signature despite having their first bid rejected, the report adds.
      Liverpool get Saka advice
      Now’s the perfect time for Liverpool to make a move for Bukayo Saka, according to ex-Red Jose Enrique.
      Enrique reckons the Reds may never get a better opportunity to snag the England international as the Gunners chase Leeds ace Raphinha.
      Enrique said in a Twitter exchange: “He is a great player but if I’m not wrong Saka is in one or two years left ?
      “Now that it looks that they are going to sign Raphinha maybe is the best moment to go for him.”
      Double signing will complete Arsenal
      Mikel Arteta will have a great Arsenal squad next season if the club bring in Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha.
      That’s according to footy pundit Darren Ambrose who’s been impressed with Arteta’s transfer nous this summer.
      He told talkSPORT: “I think it’s great for Arteta. He’s now building a squad, his own squad, a big squad. He seems to be the only manager that realises there’ll be five substitutes next season.
      “If they can get those two signings across the line, Jesus and Raphinha, they’re fantastic signings.”
      Good morning Arsenal fans
      Arsenal will step up their efforts to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha after agreeing a £45million transfer fee for the signing of Man City forward Gabriel Jesus.
      The winger, 25, has two years left on his deal at Elland Road but has told Leeds that he will not be agreeing new terms.
      Arsenal have seen one approach rejected already this summer but are ready to return with an improved offer with talks over a deal said to be at an advanced stage.
      The Gunners have also opened fresh negotiations with Ajax over the transfer of 24-year-old Lisandro Martinez.
      It has been reported the Dutch Champions have already rejected a £25million bid from Arsenal and are holding out for a fee closer to their £43million asking price.
      In terms of potential outgoings, reports from RMC have indicated Marseille will test Arsenal’s resolve in keeping William Saliba with a £26million bid.
      Saliba impressed on loan at Stade Velodrome last season, helping Jorge Sampaoli’s side finish second in Ligue 1, but the Gunners would like to finally integrate the centre-back into their first-team set up.
      Arsenal legend Paul Merson criticised Hale End graduate Eddie Nketiah, declaring that he wasn’t good enough to lead a Champions League push.
      He said: “No disrespect to Nketiah but Mikel Arteta must realise he won’t get you into the top four. Absolutely no chance. 
      “He’s not getting in ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison at Everton and he’s not getting in at Fulham ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic and they’ve only just been promoted.”
      Merson blasts Nketiah deal
      Arsenal legend Paul Merson has claimed Eddie Nketiah wouldn’t even get in the FULHAM team.
      Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: “All Arsenal have got up front right now is Eddie Nketiah, who recently signed a new contract when it looked like he might leave.
      “And no disrespect to Nketiah but Mikel Arteta must realise he won’t get you into the top four. Absolutely no chance. That’s a fact.
      “He’s not getting in at Fulham ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic and they’ve only just been promoted.
      “I’m not having a go at him but he’s not getting you top four.”

      Lisandro Martinez to Arsenal latest
      Arsenal have reportedly had a £25million transfer offer for Lisandro Martinez rejected by Ajax.
      Ajax are holding out for a fee closer to £43million for the 24-year-old
      He is also a target for Premier League rivals Man United as Erik ten Hag identifies him as an alternative to Jurrien Timber after snubbing a switch following talks with Holland gaffer Louis van Gaal.
      Raphinha to Arsenal boost
      Arsenal have been handed a boost over their Raphinha pursuit as reports suggest Leeds are lining up his replacement.
      Club Bruges’ Charles de Ketelaere has been reportedly identified as the man are targeting if Raphinha goes.
      The 21-year-old attacker can operate in false nine or secondary striker roles and Leeds will be hoping he brings the sparkle that Raphinha regularly gave the side.
      The Athletic report the highly-rated Belgian international is also attracting interest from AC Milan, who can offer Champions League football.

      Arsenal in Asensio blow
      AC Milan will turn to Arsenal target Marco Asensio after missing out Lille star Sven Botman, reports claim.
      Botman’s on the verge of completing a transfer to Newcastle.
      And Milan now want Real Madrid’s attacking midfielder Asensio to provide them with extra oomph upfront next season, according to Corriere dello Sport.
      The report states Real want around €30m for the Spanish forward, who’s also seeking €6m in yearly wages.
      £26m Saliba bid latest
      Marseille are set to launch a £26million bid to sign Arsenal defender William Saliba, according to reports.
      Saliba impressed on loan at Stade Velodrome last season, helping Jorge Sampaoli’s side finish second in Ligue 1.
      According to RMC, Sampaoli’s side are willing to pay £26m to sign Saliba permanently.
      Arsenal legend Merson berates Nketiah
      Paul Merson has called the quality of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah into doubt, declaring he should not be spearheading Arsenal’s top four push.
      Merson told the Daily Star: “no disrespect to Nketiah but Mikel Arteta must realise he won’t get you into the top four.
      “Nketiah can’t be spearheading your Champions League push. He’s not getting in ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison at Everton and they almost got relegated.
      “He’s not getting in at Fulham ahead of Aleksandr Mitrovic and they’ve only just been promoted. I’m not having a go at him but he’s not getting you top four.”
      Nketiah, 23, has recently signed a new deal with The Gunners worth £100k per week after netting five goals in the final seven games of the season.

      Man Utd ‘expect to complete £69m Frenkie de Jong transfer in DAYS’ as Barcelona star and Wag hike through Utah mountains

      by

      FRENKIE DE JONG could be a Manchester United within DAYS as the club edge ever closer to agreeing a deal, according to reports. United have been extensively linked with De Jong since the arrival of Erik ten Hag, who managed him during his time at Ajax.

      Barcelona have been holding out for a fee in the region of £86million, while United’s top offer had been quoted at around £51million.
      However, according to GOAL a compromise fee of £69million plus add-ons could be agreed to christen the Ten Hag era with his primary transfer target.
      Spanish outlet Sport have reported the agreement is ‘very close’ between the two clubs, which would ease the mounting pressure on new United CEO Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough.
      De Jong, 25, has publicly expressed his happiness at Barcelona, but following the emergence of Pedri and Gavi the club are willing to sell him in order to help ease their catastrophic debt levels of half a BILLION Euros.

      While personal terms would still need to be agreed, previous reports have indicated The Red Devils would be prepared to make him their highest earning player to coax him into joining.
      United have also been in negotiations to sign the likes of Christian Eriksen, Antony, Jurrien Timber, and Malcolm Ebiowei but for one reason or another these deals have been very slow to progress or fallen apart.
      This lack of movement in the market has left club talisman Cristiano Ronaldo unhappy, as reports of a premature exit from Old Trafford gain traction.
      Ronaldo, 37, has been contacted by former club Sporting Lisbon, with club officials said to be confident they can poach him away from a desperately underperforming United.

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED want to wrap up a deal for Frenkie de Jong this week, with a £68m fee reportedly close to being agreed.And Cristiano Ronaldo could be heading back to Portugal after his first club Sporting Lisbon sounded him out over a return home, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
      The Sun on Sunday understands bosses at Sporting, where Ronaldo played 25 league games before signing for United in 2003, believe they can lure him back to Lisbon.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes also met with new Chelsea boss Todd Boehly in Portugal last week ahead of a sensational potential summer transfer.
      The Manchester United star’s future is far from decided with the player being linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

      More on Neymar
      Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only transfer options for Neymar this summer.
      That’s as the Brazilian reportedly considers his future after being left fuming with Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
      RMC Sport claims Neymar is thinking of leaving the French capital this summer, five years after his world record £200million move from Barcelona.
      It’s reckoned he has just three viable destinations due to his £600,000-a-week wages.
      Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the money for a transfer.
      Juventus have also been linked but the Brazilian is beyond their pay grade.
      Neymar would be open to an English switch after turning 30 in February.
      Ten Hag budget plans
      Erik ten Hag starts work on Monday facing an Old Trafford cash squeeze that threatens to hamper his re-building plans, exclusively writes SunSport’s Ken Lawrence.
      The Dutchman still hopes to team up again with Frenkie de Jong as early as this week.
      Manchester United believe they are now closing in on a £67million deal with Barcelona for the midfielder who spent 18 months working under Ten Hag’s former club Ajax.
      But while CEO Richard Arnold told fans in a recent pub meeting that money was “not a consideration” in this summer’s transfer market, he will still not provide Ten Hag with an open cheque book.
      Ronaldo is not for sale
      Manchester United have insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has been searching for a new club for the attacker.
      But Bayern Munich have ruled themselves out of the hunt for him,
      Ronaldo likes new boss Erik ten Hag, but wants to see the club do more in the transfer market.
      This is according to Fabrizio Romano who made the claims on his YouTube channel.
      Neymar could make Prem switch
      PSG star Neymar is being tipped to make a move to the Premier League next season.
      That’s because only Man United, Chelsea, and Newcastel can afford to buy the Brazilian, according to RMC.
      However, a move to the Prem could prove tricky as Neymar previously vowed to never join a club in the English top tier.
      Ten Hag’s training ground rules
      Erik ten Hag is ordering Manchester United ground staff to cut the grass to EXACTLY 15mm and making the players eat together.
      The Carrington training ground staff will be giving the pitch a trim to encourage slick passing.
      New boss Ten Hag, 52, doesn’t believe in hard fitness drills to kick off the campaign but will be doing ball work with the squad to work on technique.
      The Mirror report that Ten Hag is “all about training the brain”.
      The first two days of pre-season will involve tests on the players’ fitness before moving to double sessions with the football.
      And that means Old Trafford superstars “will run with the ball rather than just being asked to sprint up sand dunes”.
      Man United target Ajax quartet
      Man United are reportedly targeting FOUR of Erik ten Hag’s former Ajax stars after adding Nicolas Tagliafico to the shortlist.
      The Red Devils are looking to turn their transfer woes around by chasing the 29-year-old Argentine.
      Ten Hag won the Eredivisie title with the Amsterdam outfit last season.
      Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Jurrien Timber have all been targeted as part of his summer rebuild.
      And now the Daily Mail report that Man Utd “have interest” in left-back Tagliafico.
      Maguire’s wife shows off dress
      Harry Maguire new wife Fern Hawkins has shown off her stunning wedding dress on social media where she fawned over the Manchester United defender.
      The loved-up couple tied the knot at the Chateau de Varennes in the South of France on Saturday.
      Maguire, 29, instantly took to social media where he shared a picture of the pair’s first kiss as man and wife.
      He captioned the post: “25.06.22. A day I’ll never forget.”
      And now his partner Fern has posted a picture from their special day where she gave her 92,000 Instagram followers a first look at her dress.
      Walking hand in hand, she captioned the image: “25.06.2022. I married the love of my life.”

      Lingard to West Ham ‘complete’
      Jesse Lingard is on the brink of returning to West Ham on a permanent basis.
      Lingard spent the first half of last season on loan with the Hammers before returning to United.
      But he’s now set to rejoin West Ham after becoming surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
      And the winger’s move to East London will be completed next week, according to the Daily Mail.
      Inter ‘make push for Bremer’
      Inter Milan will reportedly meet with Torino next week in order to try and buy in demand defender Gleison Bremer.
      Bremer’s been courted by several Prem sides including Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, and Arsenal.
      However, Inter are moving ahead to try and seal his signature, according to Tuttosport.
      The publication claims Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is set to jet to Torino to negotiate with their Serie A counterparts over Bremer.
      Roy Keane gets booed
      Roy Keane was subject to a chorus of boos when cheering on his hometown side Cork on the weekend.
      Keane returned to Cork to watch their match against Dublin.
      But the former Red Devils midfielder was booed when he appeared on the big screen in front of 50,000 fans.
      However, Keane took the jibes well as he was pictured smiling amid the racous jeers.
      Dembele ‘unhappy with Chelsea offer’
      Ousmane Demebele is reportedly unhappy with Chelsea’s contract offer.
      And he’s considering remaining at Barcelona as a result of the Blues’ underwhelming proposition.
      That’s according to Sport, who claim Chelsea’s simultaneous pursuit of Raheem Sterling has hampered the amount they could offer Dembele.
      This could be good news for Man United who were previously linked with the winger.
      Leeds ‘want Raphinha bidding war’
      Leeds are looking to spark a bidding war for Raphinha, according to reports.
      Arsenal had an initial bid for the midfielder turned down last week,
      And football reporter Ryan Taylor reckons the Whites rejected Arsenal’s offer to whip up interest in the Brazilian.
      He told Give Me Sport: “When I spoke to a contact on Monday to try and find out about the interest, I was told that Arsenal are interested but that the kind of feeling is Leeds are looking to encourage a bidding war.
      “And Deco is also in the mix in driving up that sort of speculation. Arsenal are keen, but as of Monday, there was no significant developments. Obviously, that changed with the bid on Tuesday.”
      Man United are also interested in Raphinha.
      Ronaldo ‘offered to Roma’
      Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to Roma by agent Jorge Mendes, reports claim.
      Ronaldo ostensibly wants to leave United, and Mendes has approached Roma to see if they will take the attacker, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
      However, United will not let Ronaldo leave this summer, it was reported on Sunday.
      Ten Hag advantage for United
      Erik ten Hag gives Man United a major advantage in their pursuit of Ajax players such as Anthony and Arsenal target Lisandro Martinez.
      Ten Hag worked with the duo while managing Ajax, and football reporter Peter O’Rourke reckons this puts United in pole position above their rivals in negotiations.
      O’Rourke told Give Me Sport: “I think it’s a big advantage for Manchester United in their pursuit of these Ajax players because they know ten Hag and know how he works.
      “They all, obviously, seemingly enjoyed working under him at Ajax as well.
      “I think it gives United an extra advantage in their pursuit of these players from Ajax, the opportunity to work with Erik ten Hag again.”
      Ferdinand makes Man City admission
      Rio Ferdinand has risked the wrath of Man United fans by declaring Man City striker Sergio Aguero as the Premier League’s best ever South American player.
      United have had a plethora of South American stars over the years such as Nani, Fred, Carlos Tevez, and Edinson Cavani.
      But none of them are on the same level as Aguero, according to Ferdinand.
      Ferdinand made the admission on his FIVE podcast where he said: “No1 surely got to be @aguerosergiokun.”
      Man United pre-season ‘anxiety’
      Man United players will be anxious ahead of their pre-season training with new boss Erik ten Hag.
      That’s according to ex-Crystal Palace star Alex Wynter who told The Mirror: “A lot of scrutiny falls on players at a club like Manchester United, and it’ll be the same this year with the new manager coming in.
      “I think there’ll be quite a few people on edge…I can see them not looking over their shoulders as such.
      “But they’ll definitely be wary that this is a huge pre-season for both them as individuals and the club.”
      Pogba’s Juventus transfer ‘finalised’
      Paul Pogba is set to complete his Juventus transfer in July, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      All paperwork is finalised between the parties with Juve agreeing to pay Pogba £6.8m annually plus add-ons, Romano said.
      Romano tweeted: “Juventus have all paperworks ready to announce the comeback of Paul Pogba at the beginning of July.
      “It’s done deal for salary around €8m net per season plus add-ons.”
      Ronaldo fishes on yacht
      Georgina Rodriguez left little to the imagination as she showed off her tan lines in a bikini.
      But partner Cristiano Ronaldo was more interested in fishing as he enjoyed his summer holidays on a £5.5million yacht.
      The dazzling duo are currently soaking up the sunshine in Majorca.
      Ronaldo’s five children are also with the couple in Spain.
      And the Manchester United star, 37, is making sure he rests up in a luxury villa at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains before the new season begins.

      De Jong to United complete
      Man United will complete the signing of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong in the next few days, reports claim.
      The Red Devils have agreed a fee around £68m for the midfielder, according to talkSPORT.
      The report states the transfer will be wrapped up by June 30.
      He will become United’s first signing of the summer thus far.
      Prem giants ‘met Martinez’s representatives’
      Both Man United and Arsenal are reportedly ramping up their pursuit of Ajax ace Lisandro Martinez.
      The Prem giants are locked in a battle for his signature.
      And representatives from both clubs met with Martinez’s camp in the week over a possible transfer, the Sunday Mirror claim.
      Although the Gunners are said to be winning the race for his signature despite having their first bid rejected, the report adds.
      Hargreaves reveals Champions League dream
      Owen Hargreaves has revealed he joined Man United in 2007 to win the Champions League.
      He said to United’s media: “One of the things he said to me, I’ll never forget it, was, ‘Owen we signed you to help us win the Champions League.
      “You can be a part of that.’ That was one of the big reasons I wanted to come.
      “[I wanted] to be a part of this team, play at this stadium, with these fans. That group of players we had was just out of this world. You just wanted to be a piece of the puzzle.”
      Hargreaves praises Sir Alex
      Owen Hargreaves has revealed Sir Alex Ferguson was the driving force behind his move to Man United in 2007.
      Hargreaves told United’s media: “I remember [when I arrived] he just said: ‘these fans are very knowledgeable and it was a bit along the lines of ‘you give them your best, they’ll appreciate that.’
      “Before I came we spoke so much and he was one of the driving forces, one of the reasons why I wanted to come.
      “Who doesn’t want to play under Sir Alex?”
      United rule out Ronaldo transfer
      Furious Man United chiefs have told Cristiano Ronaldo he’s not going anywhere amid interest from Chelsea.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes allegedly met with the Blues over a potential move for the disgruntled attacker.
      But the Mirror claim United have vetoed any possible exit for Ronaldo.
      The publication claim a source told them: “Cristiano is not for sale. We want – and fully expect – him to be with us next season.”
      Good morning Man United fans
      Sporting Lisbon have contacted Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo over the possibility of a shock transfer.
      The Sun on Sunday understands bosses at Sporting, where Ronaldo played 25 league games before signing for United in 2003, believe they can lure him back to Lisbon.
      A source said: “Sporting know that Ronaldo loves winning trophies. That looks a long way away at United at the moment and time is running out for Ronaldo.
      “So what better way to finish his career than move back home and play in Portugal.” 
      It has also been revealed that Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, met with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly in Portugal last week.
      According to The Athletic, Ronaldo’s future at United as well as a potential move to Chelsea was discussed when Boehly met Mendes in Portugal last week.
      However as things stand, United intend to keep the legendary forward. He said in a recent interview: “I was and still am very happy to be here.”
      Derby County’s Malcolm Ebiowei snubbed a move to United after Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman drove him to his medical and signing with The Eagles.
      In other news, some United fans are planning an anti-glazer protest ahead of new manager Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge at Old Trafford.
      Meanwhile, Harry Maguire has gotten married to childhood sweetheart Fern Hawkins in a stunning ceremony at a French chapel.
      Palace director drove Ebiowei into United snub
      Malcolm Ebiowei ignored Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag and Steve McClaren to join Crystal Palace – with Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman DRIVING him to his signing.
      Highly-rated Ebiowei, 18, has moved to Selhurst Park from Derby on a free — a deal we first revealed in April.
      McClaren was a technical director at the Rams and tried to get the winger to follow him in a series of phone calls. Ebiowei even snubbed a text from new boss Ten Hag.
      But London teen Ebiowei was swayed to join the Eagles after transfer-guru Freedman made it his personal crusade.
      The club’s sporting director met him twice, then went back to see him in a South London gym last week before showing him around Palace’s facilities.
      Then the canny Scot turned up at the player’s door to take him for his medical and signing.

      Liverpool confident of Jude Bellingham transfer, Gareth Bale SIGNS for LAFC, Neymar to Juventus latest news

      by

      LIVERPOOL are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham, SunSport can exclusively reveal.However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Premier League’s big two to land the midfielder next summer.
      Elsewhere Gareth Bale has confirmed that he will be joining MLS side Los Angeles FC.
      And Juventus are reportedly keen on signing Neymar, with PSG needing to sell before Friday in order to avoid triggering a five-year contract extension worth £600,000-a-week.
      Meanwhile, Bale’s former team Real Madrid have identified Premier League Golden Boot winner Son Heung-min as a potential target for next season.
      FABULOUS BINGO: Get a £20 bonus & 30 free spins when you spend £10 today
      Keep up to date with all the latest transfer news across the globe…
      More on Neymar
      Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only transfer options for Neymar this summer.
      That’s as the Brazilian reportedly considers his future after being left fuming with Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
      RMC Sport claims Neymar is thinking of leaving the French capital this summer, five years after his world record £200million move from Barcelona.
      It’s reckoned he has just three viable destinations due to his £600,000-a-week wages.
      Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the money for a transfer.
      Juventus have also been linked but the Brazilian is beyond their pay grade.
      Neymar would be open to an English switch after turning 30 in February.
      Ten Hag budget plans
      Erik ten Hag starts work on Monday facing an Old Trafford cash squeeze that threatens to hamper his re-building plans, exclusively writes SunSport’s Ken Lawrence.
      The Dutchman still hopes to team up again with Frenkie de Jong as early as this week.
      Manchester United believe they are now closing in on a £67million deal with Barcelona for the midfielder who spent 18 months working under Ten Hag’s former club Ajax.
      But while CEO Richard Arnold told fans in a recent pub meeting that money was “not a consideration” in this summer’s transfer market, he will still not provide Ten Hag with an open cheque book.
      Neymar could make Prem switch
      PSG star Neymar is being tipped to make a move to the Premier League next season.
      That’s because only Man United, Chelsea, and Newcastle can afford to buy the Brazilian, according to RMC.
      However, a move to the Prem could prove tricky as Neymar previously vowed to never join a club in the English top tier.
      West Ham ‘sign Alphonse Areola’
      West Ham have agreed to sign goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain.
      The Athletic are reporting Areola, 29, will join West Ham after the club activated the option to buy clause agreed in his initial loan.
      SunSport reported on Friday the Frenchman was on the verge of a £10.5million move with just personal terms to iron out.
      An official announcement is expected in the comings days.
      He will join the club permanently after making 17 appearances on loan this season, mainly playing in cup competitions as the understudy to Polish veteran Lukasz Fabianski.
      Fulham set for Palhinha transfer
      Fulham are hopeful of confirming the signing of Joao Palhinha in the next 72 hours.
      After hijacking Wolves’ approach for the 26-year-old Sporting Lisbon midfielder, the Cottagers want to get a deal over the line as quickly as possible.
      And SunSport understands that Palhinha will return from his holiday on Monday and head straight to west London with a view to completing the switch on a five-year deal.
      This transfer saga began at the beginning of this month with Wolves confident they would nab Palhinha for around £20million after advanced talks.
      However, Palhinha’s involvement in the Nations League with Portugal – as well as Wolves’ failing attempts to sell Ruben Neves – saw the move stall.
      Fulham pounced, with boss Marco Silva speaking with Palhinha directly on the phone to convince him to snub Molineux for Craven Cottage.
      Inter ‘willing to sell Correa’
      Inter Milan are willing to sell Arsenal transfer target Joaquin Correa, reports claim.
      And he could end up at Newcastle who are the only club currently interested in the attacker, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.
      But Inter won’t let him go on the cheap as they know the Magpies have the cash to splash, the report adds.
      The publication claim Correa’s been valued at £21.5m.
      Mane’s reason for leaving Liverpool
      Sadio Mane didn’t leave Liverpool to join Bayern Munich for money, according to his Public Relations agent.
      Mane’s PR rep, Bacary Cisse, told TV5Monde: “Those are false rumours. We didn’t want to talk about that.
      “A player of Sadio’s caliber can’t be earning the salary that people are speaking about. The numbers circulating are completely wrong.
      “Sadio was already earning more than that when he joined Liverpool from Southampton. He extended his contract in 2018 and his salary was much higher than the numbers circulating in the media.”
      Lingard to West Ham ‘complete’
      Jesse Lingard is on the brink of returning to West Ham on a permanent basis.
      Lingard spent the first half of last season on loan with the Hammers before returning to United.
      But he’s now set to rejoin West Ham after becoming surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
      And the winger’s move to East London will be completed next week, according to the Daily Mail.
      Real Madrid track Kimpembe
      Real Madrid are reportedly tracking PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.
      Kimpembe is said to be frustrated with the French giants for not handing him a new contract.
      And Real are waiting in the wings to snap him up, according to Defensa Central.
      Chelsea and Arsenal were linked with Kimpembe in the past.
      Bayern set Lewandowski fee
      Bayern Munich will sell Robert Lewandowski for no less than £52m to Barcelona, according to reports.
      Lewandowski’s keen to leave Bayern for the La Liga giants, and he’s set to complete the transfer next week, reports claim.
      But Barca will have to cough up the exorbitant fee in order to land the Poland international, according to Sky Sports.
      Chelsea are lurking in the shadows incase his move to Spain falls through.
      Inter ‘make push for Bremer’
      Inter Milan will reportedly meet with Torino next week in order to try and buy in demand defender Gleison Bremer.
      Bremer’s been courted by several Prem sides including Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, and Arsenal.
      However, Inter are moving ahead to try and seal his signature, according to Tuttosport.
      The publication claims Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is set to jet to Torino to negotiate with their Serie A counterparts over Bremer.
      Burnley complete Twine transfer
      Burnley have completed the signing of MK Dons star Scott Twine.
      Twine has joined Burnley on a four-year contract from MK Dons, Sky Sports reported.
      However, the amount Burnley have paid for Twine is yet to be revealed.
      Twine’s arrival will be huge boost for Burnley as he was named the EFL Player of the Season in the last campaign, scoring 20 goals along with 13 assists.
      Dembele ‘unhappy with Chelsea offer’
      Ousmane Demebele is reportedly unhappy with Chelsea’s contract offer.
      And he’s considering remaining at Barcelona as a result of the Blues’ underwhelming proposition.
      That’s according to Sport, who claim Chelsea’s simultaneous pursuit of Raheem Sterling has hampered the amount they could offer Dembele.
      This could be good news for Man United who were previously linked with the winger.
      Lewandowski to Barcelona ‘nears completion’
      Robert Lewandowski will complete his move to Barcelona this week, according to reports.
      Bayern reportedly want £43m for the Poland international.
      And Lewandowski’s agent, Pini Zahavi has held talks with both Barca and Bayern to ensure a deal gets done in the coming days, Sport reported.
      The news will come as a blow to Chelsea who asked to be kept informed on Lewandowski’s future.
      Pogba’s Juventus transfer ‘finalised’
      Paul Pogba is set to complete his Juventus transfer in July, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      All paperwork is finalised between the parties with Juve agreeing to pay Pogba £6.8m annually plus add-ons, Romano said.
      Romano tweeted: “Juventus have all paperworks ready to announce the comeback of Paul Pogba at the beginning of July.
      “It’s done deal for salary around €8m net per season plus add-ons.”
      Ronaldo ‘offered to Roma’
      Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to Roma by agent Jorge Mendes, reports claim.
      Ronaldo ostensibly wants to leave United, and Mendes has approached Roma to see if they will take the attacker, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
      However, United will not let Ronaldo leave this summer, it was reported on Sunday.
      PSG ‘must sell Neymar soon’
      PSG must sell Neymar by Friday or see his £600,000-a-week contract extend to 2027, according to reports.
      The Brazilian penned a new deal in May last year, although PSG chiefs are now no longer sure that they want to move forward with the former Barcelona ace.
      The world’s most expensive player is under contract until 2026, although it’s claimed that a clause in the deal will trigger an extra year on July 1.
      That would mean PSG are committed to paying him another year of his £31.2m salary, until he was 35.
      According to Sky Sports, PSG are looking for a buyer to take Neymar off their hands.
      His £600k-a-week wages are putting potential suitors off, however.
      De Jong to United complete
      Man United will complete the signing of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong in the next few days, reports claim.
      The Red Devils have agreed a fee around £68m for the midfielder, according to talkSPORT.
      The report states the transfer will be wrapped up by June 30.
      He will become United’s first signing of the summer thus far.
      Liverpool ‘confident of Bellingham transfer’
      Liverpool are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham.
      However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Premier League’s big two to land the midfielder next summer.
      There is growing confidence at Anfield that Man City’s imminent £45million signing of Leeds ace Phillips means the Reds are favourites to sign Bellingham.
      Klopp always planned to make a striker his marquee transfer this summer and has successfully landed Benfica’s Darwin Nunez for £85million to replace Sadio Mane.
      Next summer’s plans are already being drawn up with Bellingham and another central midfielder top of their shopping list.
      Forest close in double swoop
      Nottingham Forest are closing in on Liverpool’s Neco Williams 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.
      Right-back Williams favours Forest over a return to Fulham, where he spent four months on loan last season.
      The Wales star, 21, is valued at £15m and Forest boss Steve Cooper wants him after on-loan Middlesbrough star Djed Spence started talking to other clubs.
      The Premier League new-boys are also being encouraged to go for Gibbs-White, 22, who is due to give Wolves an answer on his future soon.
      Forest could pay about £20m for the midfielder and Wanderers may reluctantly accept.
      United rule out Ronaldo transfer
      Furious Man United chiefs have told Cristiano Ronaldo he’s not going anywhere amid interest from Chelsea.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes allegedly met with the Blues over a potential move for the disgruntled attacker.
      But the Mirror claim United have vetoed any possible exit for Ronaldo.
      The publication claim a source told them: “Cristiano is not for sale. We want – and fully expect – him to be with us next season.”
      Liverpool get Saka advice
      Now’s the perfect time for Liverpool to make a move for Bukayo Saka, according to ex-Red Jose Enrique.
      Enrique reckons the Reds may never get a better opportunity to snag the England international as the Gunners chase Leeds ace Raphinha.
      Enrique said in a Twitter exchange: “He is a great player but if I’m not wrong Saka is in one or two years left ?
      “Now that it looks that they are going to sign Raphinha maybe is the best moment to go for him.”
      Bale confirms LAFC transfer
      Gareth Bale has CONFIRMED his shock move to Los Angeles FC.
      The Wales winger, 32, left Real Madrid at the end of his contract earlier this month.
      For months there have been suggestions Bale could retire or return to hometown club Cardiff.
      But Bale has put the rumours to bed after confirming he is joining LAFC on Twitter.
      Sharing a video of himself in the club’s black and gold, Bale wrote: “See you soon, Los Angeles.”
      Good morning football fans
      Sporting Lisbon have contacted Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo over the possibility of a shock transfer.
      The Sun on Sunday understands bosses at Sporting, where Ronaldo played 25 league games before signing for United in 2003, believe they can lure him back to Lisbon.
      United also fell flat in their efforts to sign Derby County’s Malcolm Ebiowei after Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman drove him to his medical with the Eagles.
      New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly met with Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, in Portugal last week and discussed the 37-year-old’s future and the possibility of a transfer.
      Chelsea are the club who are ‘best placed’ to sign Ousmane Dembele as he edges ever closer to leaving the Nou Camp, according to Marca, with Xavi’s late offer to keep the Frenchman too little, too late.
      Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid teammate Gareth Bale has agreed agreed to join MLS side Los Angeles FC after posting a video on his social media page wearing an LAFC shirt.
      The Wales captain, who turns 33 next month, is set to sign an initial one-year deal with an option to extend it by a further 18 months when the MLS transfer window reopens on July 7.
      Bale’s former club Tottenham have suffered a blown in their pursuit of Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.
      Talks have been taking place for weeks but the two clubs are still way-off agreeing a fee with the North East team demanding £15 million plus add-ons – a price Spurs are unwilling to climb to.
      North London rivals Arsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha after agreeing a £45million fee for Man City forward Gabriel Jesus.
      Meanwhile, newly-promoted Nottingham Forest are close to completing the double signings of Liverpool’s Neco Williams and Wolves Morgan Gibbs-White for a combined £35million.
      Liverpool also now believe themselves to be the front-runners to sign Jude Bellingham due to Man City’s imminent acquisition of Kalvin Phillips.
      Liverpool lead race for Bellingham
      Liverpool are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham.
      However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Premier League’s big two to land the midfielder next summer.
      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of the Borussia Dortmund star and has already earmarked him as his top target in 12 months time.
      But Pep Guardiola is an equally big admirer of the 18-year-old and hopes Bellingham’s friendship with new signing Erling Haaland can sway an eventual deal their way.
      There is growing confidence at Anfield that Man City’s imminent £45million signing of Leeds ace Phillips means the Reds are favourites to sign Bellingham.
      Manchester United are a distant third in the race for his signature with Erik ten Hag’s transfer plans still being finalised.

      There have already been reports that Ronaldo is growing disillusioned at Old Trafford due to the club’s lack of ambition so far.
