      Bayern Munich ‘preparing third Sadio Mane transfer bid worth £34.6m after Liverpool star agrees three-year deal’

      by

      SADIO MANE has reportedly agreed to a three-year deal with Bayern with the Germans to submit an improved transfer offer to Liverpool.Mane, 30, rocked Liverpool after deciding to quit Anfield this summer.

      The main interest in his services have come from German champions Bayern, who have seen two bids already rejected.
      However, a fresh report from Bild indicates Mane has agreed personal terms on a three-year deal, with the Bavarians ready to submit a new and improved offer of £34.6million.
      Jurgen Klopp will not stand in the way of a deal for Mane, who was one of the first signings he made as Liverpool boss when he brought him to the club in 2016.
      The main sticking point comes down to whether Liverpool will see this bid as acceptable considering their valuation of £42million for the winger.

      The structure of this deal is said to be at least £30million up front, with the rest coming as add-ons.
      Bayern’s second offer for Mane also included add-ons, but Liverpool laughed off the bid which contained some outrageous clauses, including one which required Mane to win the Ballon d’Or three years in a row.
      That bid also only came out to a maximum of £30million. With a much more serious bid tabled there could be some movement in the coming days.
      Mane’s Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has urged Mane to make the switch, saying he thinks the 30-year-old will “feel best” with a new challenge at Bayern.

      On Bayern’s end talisman Robert Lewandowksi has confirmed his intention to leave the club this summer, stating he will not sign a new contract with them.
      Chelsea and Barcelona are the two clubs most frequently linked with signing the Polish international.
      Liverpool have already agreed a deal for Mane’s replacement Darwin Nunez. The 22-year-old will join from Benfica for a deal which could be worth up to £85million when all is said and done.
      Other exits from Anfield include cult hero Divock Origi who left on free agency, and the expected departure of Takumi Minamino, who has had a £17million price tag put on his head.

      by

      And while local rivals Tottenham have also shown interest in the Foxes playmaker, Spurs’ imminent acquisition of Brighton’s Yves Bissouma has now given the Gunners a clear path to Tielemans’ signature.
      Journalist Ben Jacobs said: “Arsenal remain confident and on course to sign Youri Tielemans before the month is out.
      “Interest from Tottenham was never too advanced. But Bissouma’s incoming arrival will allay fears Spurs could hijack the deal.
      “Tielemans is one of Arteta’s top priorities.”

      When asked about winning trophies, he said: “Every player wants that. That is just natural when you are in the game, you want to win trophies.
      “That is the best feeling to win trophies. Obviously every player would say the same, definitely.”
      Asked specifically about an update on his future, he then added: “No sorry. I have expressed myself on that before and there is nothing new.

      ARSENAL have lost further ground in their battle with rivals Tottenham after Yves Bissouma agreed to join Spurs.The Brighton ace is set to snub Arsenal – long term admirers of the midfielder – to join their neighbours for £25million.
      It comes as a double blow amid reports suggesting Serie A striker Gianluca Scamacca is considering other offers from elite clubs across Europe.
      The Gunners had a £35million bid for the Italian rejected but are now thought to be plotting a fresh approach.
      Meanwhile, Gabriel Martinelli has confirmed his intention to stay at Arsenal after they announced the signing of 18-year-old fellow Paulistano, Marquinhos.

      Raphinha transfer race heats up
      Arsenal and Tottenham have both joined the race to sign Leeds star Raphinha, according to reports.
      But according to The Athletic, there are now concerns the Catalan giants may not be able to fund a deal for the tricky forward.
      Barcelona have debts totalling more than £1billion and are operating under tight financial constraints.
      That could open the door for Arsenal and Tottenham to steal Raphinha from under the nose of Xavi.
      Osimhen speaks on future
      Victor Osimhen has revealed he will decide on his future after finishing international duty with Nigeria.
      Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, told CalcioMercato: “I know there are many people that would like me in Spain or England, but I don’t think it’s the right time to talk about it now that I’m with the national team.
      I always go out on the pitch to do my best both with the national team and with my club.
      “I don’t know my future, I know anything can happen, but now I just want to go on holiday with my family, clear my head and recharge my batteries.
      “Then we’ll take care of everything else.”
      Partey over for Arsenal?
      Arsenal could face a nervous summer in their attempt to keep hold of midfielder Thomas Partey.
      Italian media outlet Tuttosport believe that Juventus are keen on bringing in the Ghanaian to play alongside Paul Pogba.
      However, any offer from the Serie A side will depend on whether they are able to move on Arthur Melo.
      While the suggestion of an ‘ambitious’ swap deal involving Party and the Brazilian Melo has been flagged by the Turin club, no official offer has been lodged.
      The 29-year-old Partey joined the Gunners for £45m in October 2020, but has seen his progress at the Emirates hampered by a series of niggling injuries.
      Gunners in scrap for Scamacca
      Arsenal could be about to find themselves frustrated in their bid to land another striker.
      The Gunners have recently been linked with a £43m move for Sassuolo hotshot Gianluca Scamacca, who fired 16 goals in 36 Serie A appearances last season.
      However, it is now being rumoured that some of Europe’s biggest clubs are also interested in the 23-year-old.
      According to reports, Juventus, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are all keeping tabs on Scamacca.
      The forward has four years to run on his current deal in Modena, having signed a contract extension back in April.

      Arsenal fans react to Spurs signings
      There’s only one thing worse than seeing your side standing still in the transfer market – and it’s watching your closest rivals make key signings left, right and centre.
      It certainly feels that way for Arsenal supporters right now, who are having to endure Tottenham going about their impressive business.
      Because not only did Spurs pip the Gunners to Champions League football, they’ve now beaten them to the capture of Yves Bissouma.
      The Brighton midfielder has been a long-term target for both North London clubs, but it’s Antonio Conte men that have won out – and the same could be soon said about Djed Spence.

      Gunners to Net new keeper?
      Arsenal are monitoring Barcelona back-up goalkeeper Neto as a potential replacement for Bernd Leno.
      Leno appears likely to leave the Emirates this summer after falling behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order.
      And now Spanish outlet Sport are suggesting that Neto is considering swapping the substitutes’ bench at the Nou Camp for one in North London.
      However, the Gunners have already brought in one keeper in American Matt Turner, and also have the highly-rated Arthur Okonkwo among their squad.
      Martinelli confirms intention to stay
      Gabriel Martinelli has seemingly dismissed speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal.
      The 20-year-old enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season in the Premier League, notching six goals and six assists in 29 appearances.
      His performances caught the eye of many clubs across Europe, and it was feared they could tempt the winger away after the Gunners missed out on Champions League football.
      However, in welcoming another young Brazilian to the club, he now appears to have indicated that his immediate future remains at the Emirates.
      Acknowledging the signing of Marquinhos, Martinelli wrote on his Instagram story: “Welcome brother, we’re together.”

      GOOD MORNING GOONERS
      Newly-promoted Fulham are in talks to sign goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Arsenal.
      The German stopper is widely expected to leave the Emirates this summer, having fallen behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order, and following the arrival of back-up Matt Turner.
      However, Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas believes that his player should still be considered Arsenal’s number one and could yet remain in North London.
      Meanwhile, Arsenal are willing to buy Christopher Nkunku for a record transfer fee.
      RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a £100m tag on Nkunku, according to The Express.
      But the Gunners are willing to pay the price for the 24-year-old, unlike Prem rivals Man United.
      Elsewhere, Dusan Vlahovic has revealed he never had any intention of joining Arsenal as Juventus was the only club on his mind.
      He said: “Maybe my agent knows [about Arsenal’s offer] but I never talked to anyone about it.
      “I just had one club in my mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing else to say, and now I feel honoured to be given this jersey. It’s incredible every time I put it on.
      “I definitely identify with their DNA. The Juventus personality coincides with my personality.
      “When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. This was definitely what I was looking for.”
      Finally, Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is being tracked by AC Milan and Lazio, reports claim.
      Mari made waves in the Serie A last season while on loan with Udinese.
      And Milan view him as the ideal man to marshal their defence if they miss out on Sven Botman.
      Likewise, Lazio will turn to Mari if they fail to land Alessio Romagnoli, according to Corriere dello Sport.
      Prem fixture list leaked
      Ahead of Thursday’s Premier League fixture release, a schedule for the 2022-23 season has been ‘leaked’ online.
      An image has emerged on Twitter supposedly showing the first eight match days of the season.
      There are banana-skin away ties for Arsenal and Chelsea, who will both travel to the South Coast, according to the leaked list.
      The Gunners face Brighton, fresh off an excellent 9th-place finish in the last campaign, while the Blues are in action at St. Mary’s against Southampton.

      Italian clubs track Mari
      Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is being tracked by AC Milan and Lazio, reports claim.
      Mari made waves in the Serie A last season while on loan with Udinese.
      And Milan view him as the ideal man to marshal their defence if they miss out on Sven Botman.
      Likewise, Lazio will turn to Mari if they fail to land Alessio Romagnoli, according to Corriere dello Sport.
      Vlahovic reveals Arsenal snub
      Dusan Vlahovic has revealed he never had any intention of joining Arsenal as Juventus was the only club on his mind.
      He said: “Maybe my agent knows [about Arsenal’s offer] but I never talked to anyone about it.
      “I just had one club in my mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing else to say, and now I feel honoured to be given this jersey. It’s incredible every time I put it on.
      “I definitely identify with their DNA. The Juventus personality coincides with my personality.
      “When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. This was definitely what I was looking for.”
      Arsenal target’s transfer price
      Arsenal are willing to buy Christopher Nkunku for a record transfer fee.
      RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a £100m tag on Nkunku, according to The Express.
      But the Gunners are willing to pay the price for the 24-year-old, unlike Prem rivals Man United.
      Arsenal confirm first summer signing
      Arsenal have completed the signing of Brazilian wonderkid Marquinhos.
      The Gunners have confirmed that the 19-year-old has penned a “long-term contract” after joining from Sao Paulo.
      Arsenal’s technical director Edu said: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.
      “At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future.
      “We look forward to Marquinhos now joining us for pre-season, making his new home, and continuing to grow and develop with us.”
      Leno’s gets glowing praise
      Bernd Leno is the best keeper at Arsenal despite losing the No1 spot to Aaron Ramsdale, according to his agent.
      Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas told Bild: “He is a German national goalkeeper, has always performed well at Arsenal and is an absolute team player.
      “For me personally, Bernd is also the clear No.1 at Arsenal. With all due respect to the competitors.
      “Yes, Fulham is trying hard to get Bernd. Very professionally. This is also true for some other clubs and shows his status.
      “But, as I said, for me he is the No.1 at Arsenal and we are therefore also relaxed.”
      Arsenal face transfer battle
      Arsenal face stiff competition from AC Milan in the pursuit of Marco Asensio, reports claim.
      Milan are determined to bring the Real Madrid striker to Italy this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.
      And Milan’s director Paolo Maldini has directly contacted Real boss Carlo Ancelotti in order to make Asensio’s move to the Serie A happen, the report adds.
      However, Milan will hope a move can get done soon as Man United along with the Gunners also want Asensio.
      Fulham pushing hard for Leno
      Newly-promoted Fulham are in talks to sign goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Arsenal.
      The German stopper is widely expected to leave the Emirates this summer, having fallen behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order, and following the arrival of back-up Matt Turner.
      However, Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas believes that his player should still be considered Arsenal’s number one and could yet remain in North London.
      Bild journalist Tobi Altschaffl reports Koukoutrigas as saying: “He is a German national goalkeeper, has always performed well at Arsenal and is an absolute team player.
      “For me personally, Bernd is also the clear number one at Arsenal – with all due respect to the competitors.
      “Fulham is trying hard to get Bernd. Very professionally. This is also true for some other clubs and shows his status. But as I said, for me he is the number one at Arsenal and we are therefore also relaxed.”

      Nicholas: Young Gunners lack experience
      Arsenal missed out on Champions League football due to a lack of experience in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
      That’s the view of legend Charlie Nicholas, who hopes his former club can bring in some senior players with a track record of winning trophies.
      In a conversation with BonusCodeBets, Nicholas said: “After letting Alexandre Lacazette go, there is certainly a risk that Arsenal could field a side next season with very little experience.
      “Some of these kids are playing as part of the youngest squad in the Premier League. But they have a good level of experience now; they’ve been in this team for a decent period.
      “Although they kind of bottled the Champions League place in the last four games, the players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka were trying their best. They just didn’t quite have the know-how. They need that kind of experience.
      “Mikel Arteta will add experience this summer, even potential signings like Gabriel Jesus have a lot of it. He’s won the Premier League a few times, has been involved in massive games and would help.
      Haaland deal gives Gooners hope
      Manchester City’s signing of Erling Haaland has taken the headlines this morning.
      But eagle-eyed Arsenal fans are optimistic that it has also given them the green light to get their man.
      A throwaway statement on City’s website read: “Haaland shirts will be made available once his squad number is confirmed in due course.”
      And some Gooners on social media believe that is because the Norwegian is waiting to receive his favoured number nine shirt once City’s current number nine – Gabriel Jesus – departs the Etihad.
      Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for Jesus in recent weeks, and are hopeful of completing a deal despite missing out on Champions League football.
      Maitland-Niles heading for Forest
      Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles has emerged as a transfer target for newly-promoted Nottingham Forest.
      The 24-year-old looks set to finally leave the Emirates on a permanent basis after loan spells away at Roma and West Bromwich Albion.
      And Steve Cooper’s Forest are considering an offer that would keep the England international in the Premier League.
      Though traditionally a midfielder, Maitland-Niles has excelled as a right wing-back in the past, and could be seen as the ideal replacement for Djed Spence.
      Spence starred for Forest on loan from Middlesbrough last season, but looks set to join Tottenham instead of opting for a return to the City Ground.
      Gunners linked to United target
      Arsenal have emerged as a surprise rival for Real Madrid and Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
      The Serbian midfielder is expected to leave Lazio this summer, and has been linked with some of Europe’s elite clubs.
      However, neither United nor Madrid have made an official move, and reports suggest the Gunners could beat the pair to the punch.
      Corriere dello Sport report that Mikel Arteta is keen on the 27-year-old as he prepares for a midfield rebuild at the Emirates.
      The North London outfit are expected to move for Youri Tielemans, and could yet pair the Belgian with Milinkovic-Savic – particularly if Granit Xhaka moves in the opposite direction to join Roma.

      Good morning Arsenal fans
      Arsenal have had a £51million offer for Victor Osimhen rejected, according to reports from Italy.
      The Nigerian striker is one of many forwards that Mikel Arteta’s side are currently trailing.
      And according to Il Mattino, Arsenal have tested the water with Napoli by tabling a £51million bid for the hotshot, which has been dismissed by the Serie A giants.
      The report adds Napoli are after a fee in the region of £85million for their talisman.
      Arsenal are chasing Lille centre-back Sven Botman, according to reports.
      La Repubblica claim the Gunners have joined the race for the defender’s signature.
      Spurs, Man Utd and Newcastle have also been credited with an interest in the Dutch international.
      Arsenal star Marcelo Flores was praised for his talent by Mexico boss Tata Martino.
      He said of Flores: “Marcelo is everything a coach expects, that the player has those desires to assert his dribbling, he does what we all expect of him, he executes the ‘one on one’, which is one of the best qualities and the penalty is anecdotal.
      “It’s fine…We had Santi, Chávez and Orbelín, Santi decided to give it to him and the boy is in the dressing room crying inconsolably, and it’s sad because this career has many disappointments.
      “But everything that happened is well, everything is experience and everything is knowledge; Marcelo is something different, he needs peace of mind and hopefully they can give it to him.”
      Tielemans wants trophies
      Youri Tielemans is desperate to copy Belgium pal Kevin de Bruyne and win more major trophies.
      The Leicester midfield ace, who is a £25million summer target for Arsenal, got his hands on the FA Cup in 2021 by scoring the Wembley winner over Chelsea.
      Tielemans said: “Every player wants that. That is just natural when you are in the game, you want to win trophies.
      “That is the best feeling to win trophies. Obviously every player would say the same, definitely.”
      Tielemans showed just why Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made him a transfer target when he coolly stroked home Belgium’s opener in the 1-1 Nations League draw with Wales on Saturday night.
      When asked for an update on his future, Tielemans, who has one year left on his Foxes contract, added: “No sorry. I have expressed myself on that before and there is nothing new. I don’t think this is the moment and place to discuss that.”
      Barça stance on Depay
      Barcelona will only let Memphis Depay leave, if they can find a replacement.
      The Gunners have been linked with the Dutch forward, who appeared on our shores for Man Utd.
      And it was previously said the Catalans would be willing to let him go this summer.
      However, Sport via Sport Witness have said they will only let Depay leave if someone else can fill his void AND they receive a really good offer.
      Nketiah salary
      Eddie Nketiah has been offered a six-figure salary to sign a new contract.
      According to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook, the striker has been offered at least £100,000-per-week.
      “Nketiah is an interesting one, because I was told the other day that he’s been given a six-figure salary to sign his new contract, and that seems a lot of money to me for him.”
      Richarlison fee
      Arsenal are one of many sides that have been linked Everton ace Richarlison.
      The Brazilian could be set to move this summer – with the Emirates touted to be a desitination.
      However, the Mail and Telegraph both report it could take an offer of more than £50million to prise him from Goodison Park.
      Spurs are also said to be interested.

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly made a formal offer to sign Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.The Dane was among United’s top targets when he was at Spurs and the Red Devils are now keen to snap up the 30-year-old after an excellent half season at Brentford.
      But Eriksen is far from their only midfield target, with Erik ten Hag still keen on signing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.
      And United have received good news on that front, with Barca reported to have dropped his asking price to £70m from £85m.
      Ten Hag is also said to be interested in signing Antony from his former club Ajax.
      Man Utd are reported to have made a £38.5m bid for the Brazilian.
      Stay up to date with all the latest from Old Trafford…
      Man United new kit leaked
      Man United’s home kit for the 2022-23 season has been leaked on social media.
      But it has received some mixed reactions from fans.
      Adidas have introduced a white collar with red triangles to the strip and black stripes running across the shoulders.
      There has also been a slight change to the badge, with a frame surrounding it.
      Some United fans have fallen in love with the new design, and have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts.
      One said: “I am definitely getting this.”

      PSG ‘hoped to use Man Utd to get rid of Pochettino’
      Paris Saint-Germain planned to get rid of Mauricio Pochettino as early as last autumn, and were reportedly hoping Man Utd would make it easier for them.
      The Parisians reportedly owe the Argentine and his coaching staff £17m in compensation after announcing his sacking.
      But the Telegraph claims that they were hoping Man Utd would hire him as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s replacement following the dismissal of the Norwegian.
      United instead opted for Ralf Rangnick as interim manager before hiring Erik ten Hag.

      Mourinho and Matic reunited
      Nemanja Matic is officialy an AS Roma player.
      The 33-year-old Serb, who was released by Man Utd, has been snapped up by former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho for the THIRD time.
      Matic could face his former club in the Europa League next season following Roma’s Conference League triumph and United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

      Was Pogba misunderstood?
      French journalist Julien Laurens has leapt to the defence of Paul Pogba, as the £80m flop gets ready to leave Old Trafford.
      Laurens sees the World Cup winner as somebody whose personality was misunderstood.
      He said: “He is someone who is very nice, fundamentally.
      “Even when he has something in his heart he does not say it. Or not enough.”

      Eriksen downs Rangnick
      There may have been a passing of the baton from the old to the new of Man Utd in Copenhagen last night.
      Denmark beat former Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick’s Austria 2-0 to remain top of their Nations League group.
      And potential new signing Christian Eriksen came off the bench for a 15 minute cameo.
      That result leaves the Danes top with nine points, Croatia second on seven and Austria third with four.
      Paul Pogba’s France are out of contention for a place in the Final Four and are staring down the barrel at relegation, as they sit bottom on just two points.
      Man United make Eriksen offer
      Man United have made an offer to sign Christian Eriksen, according to reports.
      The midfielder, 30, is available on a free at the end of the month with his Brentford contract expiring.
      And now United are looking to take advantage of his contract situation by offering the Danish international a deal, report The Athletic.
      But it seems the Red Devils are not the only club interested in snatching Eriksen away from Brentford.
      Tottenham are reportedly keen to lure Eriksen back to north London and can offer him the added incentive of Champions League football.
      Matic completes Roma transfer
      Roma have competed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer from Manchester United.
      Matic, 33, has penned a one-year deal that will expire in June 2023.
      During his first interview with the club he hinted that he made the switch in order to reunite with Jose Mourinho, who lured him to Old Trafford in 2017.
      He said: “I am pleased and honoured to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates.
      “Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.
      “I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things.”
      Breaking: Roma confirm Matic signing
      Serie A side Roma have confirmed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer.
      The Serbian joins the Italians following the expiry of his contract at Manchester United.
      During his five years at Old Trafford, Matic made 189 appearances for the Red Devils.
      The 33-year-old has penned a 12-month deal with the option of a further year as he links up with Jose Mourinho for the third time in his career.
      Frenkie de Jong ‘talks ongoing’
      Negotiations between Manchester United and Barcelona are ‘ongoing’ despite the clubs remaining some distance apart in their valuation of Frenkie de Jong.
      However, despite yesterday’s news that the Red Devils would walk away if no agreement was imminent, Sky now report that that there is a growing belief on both sides that a deal can be done.
      Barca, who had been holding out for €100m for the Dutchman, are now said to be willing to accept a guaranteed €85m offer.
      De Jong is considered happy at the Nou Camp, but would also be open to a reunion with Erik ten Hag, who previously coached him at Ajax.
      Vitinha release fee to be triggered
      An unnamed Premier League club are on the verge of triggering Vitinha’s €40m release fee.
      Portuguese media (via Sports Witness) understand that the Porto midfielder’s buyout clause will be met, freeing him up to discuss terms over a move abroad.
      While the identity of the English club involved in the deal remains a mystery, the 22-year-old has been frequently linked with Manchester United.
      Vitinha spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Wolves, but made little impact across 22 appearances in all competitions.
      However, his impressive performances last term helped Porto to a domestic double, and led to him breaking into the national team setup.

      Rashford ready to regain form
      Marcus Rashford is to embark on an individual ten-day training regime in the United States, reveal The Mail.
      The forward will touch down in America this week, less than a month after the Premier League season ended, in order to begin his fight back to form.
      The forward is desperate to regain his place in both the Manchester United and England teams with the World Cup just five months away.
      Gareth Southgate this week admitted that both Rashford and his United colleague Jadon Sancho had ‘a lot to do’ to force their way into Three Lions reckoning.

      United value plummets by £1.3bn
      The value of Manchester United Football Club has dropped by more than £1.3billion after shares fell to a record low on Monday evening.
      The Manchester Evening News report that by the end of trading yesterday, shares in Manchester United plc were available for just $11.07 – almost half of their value eight months ago.
      A year ago, the shares were valued at $15.66, and peaked at $20.74 in September once Cristiano Ronaldo had rejoined the club.
      Despite the concerning news, United shareholders – including the Glazer family – will receive a windfall of dividends later this month.
      Since the Glazers took over at Old Trafford 17 years ago, share prices in the club have fallen by 21% in total.
      Leipzig want £100m for Nkunku
      RB Leipzig have slapped a £100m price tag on Christopher Nkunku to ward off interest from Europe’s biggest clubs this summer, according to The Independent.
      The 24-year-old is in high demand after plundering 35 goals in all competitions last season for the German outfit, while weighing in with 19 assist for good measure.
      Manchester United are said to be extremely keen on the Frenchman, who won his sixth cap last night.
      However, Leipzig’s extreme asking price may put off potential suitors for the Bundesliga’s Player of the Year.
      The Red Devils are still keen on a forward after missing out on Darwin Nunez to rivals Liverpool.

      GOOD MORNING MAN UTD FANS
      Manchester United have been linked with a move for Derby County teenager Malcolm Ebiowei.
      However, while the Red Devils have entered the race to poach Ebiowei, Fabrizio Romano understands that Crystal Palace are the club in pole position.
      Meanwhile, United are prepared to walk away from a move to sign Frenkie de Jong unless Barcelona lower their valuation.
      Reports suggest that the Catalans are holding out for €100m while the Red Devils are reluctant to pay more than €70m.
      And now sources close to United have revealed that the Premier League club are considering alternatives to the midfielder.
      Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag is said to have made Ajax winger Antony his number one transfer target – but any discussions regarding a move for the Brazilian have so far been internal between those at Old Trafford.
      Transfers guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that there is certainly a genuine interest in the player from the Red Devils, and rumours suggest an offer of £43m is imminent.
      However, Antony’s brother – Emerson Santos – has dismissed those reports that state negotiations are much further down the line as ‘fake news’.
      Finally, Man United face stiff competition from AC Milan in the pursuit of Marco Asensio, reports claim.
      Milan are determined to bring the Real Madrid striker to Italy this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.
      And Milan’s director Paolo Maldini has directly contacted Real boss Carlo Ancelotti in order to make Asensio’s move to the Serie A happen, the report adds.
      Ronaldo in touching Marcelo tribute
      Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to his former teammate Marcelo after his Real Madrid departure.
      Ronaldo moved to Madrid in 2009 and spent nine seasons playing alongside the Samba star.
      Sharing a photo of him hugging the South American during their Madrid heyday, Ronaldo wrote: “More than a teammate, a brother that football gave me.
      “On and off the fields, one of the biggest stars with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a locker room. Go with everything on this new adventure, Marcelo!” 
      Two for one deal
      Tottenham are reportedly planning to offer Everton two players in exchange for Richarlison.
      The pair of Spurs hope to entice Everton with are Lucas Moura and Harry Winks, according to The Telegraph.
      Howeever, Spurs still have to ward off interest from Man United who also want the Brazilian.
      Prem fixture list leaked
      Ahead of Thursday’s Premier League fixture release, a schedule for the 2022-23 season has been ‘leaked’ online.
      An image has emerged on Twitter supposedly showing the first eight match days of the season.
      Erik ten Hag’s rumoured first competitive game in charge of United is a tough trip to Wolves, with Bruno Lage’s side looking to build on last season’s 10th-place finish with a push for Europe.

      Beckham attends event with family
      David Beckham was spotted holding his daughter Harper’s ahead of a theatre event in Venice on Monday night.
      Harper, 10, entered the Fenice theatre alongside her famous dad wearing a £1,600 ball gown.
      Manchester United legend David, 47, also showed up in smart attire as he rocked a black suit for the occasion.
      And the father-daughter pair shared a loving moment as they smiled at each other before heading in for the show.
      Beckham’s three other children – Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17 – were not spotted at the event.
      But walking behind the Beckhams was a famous face in the form of fashion designer Domenico Dolce.

      Peter Kenyon leads Everton bid
      Ex-Man United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is reportedly the front man for the consortium that are trying to buy Everton.
      He is part of a group that includes chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton.
      And The Telegraph states that it is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein and US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges.
      Current Everton owner Farhad Moshiri values the club at over £500m, which takes into account their debt.
      This report claims that “heads of terms have been signed” although talks are still at a “relatively early stage”.
      And the consortium could demand that they get some guarantees should the Premier League club get a points deduction or large fine over Financial Fair Play issues.
      Cavani linked with Real Madrid
      Real Madrid are considering a swoop for Edinson Cavani.
      Cavani will leave Man United this summer on a free transfer.
      And according to Fichajes, Real are willing to give the Uruguayan a new home.
      Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring in Cavani to rival Karim Benzema on a short-term deal, the report adds.
      Man United chase Derby star
      Man United are in pole position to land Derby starlet Malcolm Ebiowei, reports claim.
      But the Red Devils face competition from Crystal Palace, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      He wrote: “Manchester United and Crystal Palace are leading the race to sign Derby County’s Malcolm Ebiowei, talented striker born in 2003. #MUFC.
      “AS Monaco asked for him too but he’s expected to stay in Premier League – Man Utd and Palace are leading the race. #CPFC.”
      Matic arrives in Italy
      Nemanja Matic has landed in Italy ahead of his free transfer move from Manchester United to Roma.
      He is due to reunite with former Chelsea and United manager Jose Mourinho in the capital city for a third time.
      Matic was pictured arriving at Ciampino’s airport in Rome earlier today, where he was only too happy to wave for the camera.
      And he also signed autographs for fans waiting for his arrival ahead of putting pen-to-paper on his Roma contract.
      The veteran is now due to undergo the formalities of a medical before officially joining last season’s Europa Conference League winners.

      Ten Hag’s first game CONFIRMED
      Man United have confirmed that Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge at Old Trafford will be against Rayo Vallecano in a pre-season friendly.
      La Liga side Rayo Vallecano will travel to Manchester on Sunday July 31 for the clash, which promises to be a huge occasion.
      In an official statement on the official Man Utd website, football director John Murtough said: “Pre-season is all about preparation and this is a great opportunity for those squad members who may not have featured in some of our earlier Tour and pre-season matches to get valuable minutes on the pitch – and where better to do this than Old Trafford?
      “This will be the new manager’s first match at Old Trafford, and I am sure the fans will provide him with a warm welcome.”
      More on Fernandes’ rant
      The 27-year-old raced towards the Swiss bench as TV cameras cut to the technical areas and teared into the opposition as he was held back by a Portugal coach and a Uefa official.
      Fernandes appeared to scream “f*** you” as he pointed at another person and then launch to more F-bombs.
      Fernandes loses his cool
      Bruno Fernandes appeared to launch an X-rated rant as his Portugal side suffered a Nations League defeat to Switzerland.
      The game exploded into life during the dying stages after Swiss defender Nico Elvedi went down easily following a challenge by Andre Silva.
      The hosts were trying to run down the seconds as they held on, and Gladbach ace Elvedi instantly grabbed the ball as he anticipated getting the free-kick, which the official awarded.
      Both sets of players piled in after appealing the incident as Switzerland boss Murat Yakin got more-and-more animated on the sideline.
      And that was what appeared to spark Fernandes, who had been replaced by Matheus Nunes in the 74th minute, into a rage as he launched several F-bombs.

      But according to The Athletic, there are now concerns the Catalan giants may not be able to fund a deal for the tricky forward.
      Barcelona have debts totalling more than £1billion and are operating under tight financial constraints.
      That could open the door for Arsenal and Tottenham to steal Raphinha from under the nose of Xavi.
      Raphinha has scored 17 goals and provided 12 assists in 67 appearances for the Premier League outfit.

      Leeds are no longer holding out hope that the player will sign a new deal and are willing to let him go if their valuation is met – a figure thought to be around £40million.
      Arsenal are looking to bolster their squad in a bid to clinch a Champions League place – which they narrowly missed out on last season.
      The Gunners have already acquired youngster ​​Marquinhos and keeper Matt Turner in this window.
      Meanwhile, Spurs have improved their roster with the signings of Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster.

      However, if they are to sign Richarlison then they will not pursue Raphinha as they only wish to sign one of the Brazilian pair.
      Chelsea are also monitoring Raphinha’s situation, although their priority remains agreeing a deal for free agent Ousmane Dembele. More

      David Moyes is said to be keen to reunite with the Belgian, who joined Manchester United at the age of 16 in 2011.

OFFER Christian Eriksen deal, Barcelona ‘drop De Jong price to £70m’
      Following his breakthrough he quickly began to thrive under the Scot’s management, but struggled to retain his spot in the first team when Louis van Gaal took over in 2014.
      He was then loaned out to Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland before he transferred to Real Sociedad on a permanent deal in 2017.
      The Belgian could reignite his career by joining up with Moyes at the London Stadium, but West Ham face competition for his signature.
      Real Betis and Napoli are also monitoring Januzaj’s situation, so the Hammers will have to put a strong offer on the table if they want any chance of securing a deal.
