‘wants’ Lukaku reunion, Mount contract DECISION
    The Italian worked with Lukaku for two years while managing Inter Milan, so the prospect of a reunion could be appealing for both parties.
    Conte and his staff are looking to build a squad that will challenge for the Premier League title next season, and they believe that the striker could form a deadly partnership with Harry Kane.
    Lukaku has made it clear that he would favour a return to Inter Milan if he was to leave Chelsea.
    In an explosive interview last year, he revealed that he never wanted to leave the Black and Blues.

    MARSEILLE are reportedly looking to offload former Arsenal left-back Sead Kolasinac just months after joining the Ligue 1 outfit.The Gunners ripped up the 28-year-old’s contract in January to allow him to join the French club after being deemed as surplus to requirements by Mikel Arteta.
    Sead Kolasinac could already be on the move again after only joining Marseille in JanuaryCredit: AFP
    He penned a contract at Stade Velodrome until the summer of 2023, but he could now already be on the move.
    Kolasinac appeared in 17 games in all competitions for Marseille, but didn’t complete the 90 minutes in any match.
    And according to Foot Mercato, boss Jorge Sampaoli has been left unimpressed by his performances.
    They state that the Bosnia and Herzegovina international has been told by Sampaoli that he will not see an improvement on his playing time next term.

    Saliba, who was named Ligue 1 young player of the year, revealed last month how he hopes to stay at Marseille after helping the club secure a Champions League spot.
    But he has now announced his desire to be part of the Gunners’ squad.
    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

    Arsenal ‘weighing up shock transfer for Giovanni Simeone with £12m-rated Cagliari star backed to replace Lacazette’

    ARSENAL are reportedly battling Juventus in the race to prise Giovanni Simeone away from Cagliari.The 26-year-old, who spent the 2021-22 season on loan at Hellas Verona, seems set to depart Cagliari after they were relegated to Serie B.

    Simeone chipped in with 17 goals and six assists in 35 Italian top-flight matches for Verona as he helped them finish ninth in the table.
    The Yellow and Blues have an option to sign the Argentina international – son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego – for £12.8million.
    But according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Fiorentina centre-forward has emerged as a target for both the Gunners and the Old Lady.
    Juve beat Arsenal in their quest to land Dusan Vlahovic in January, and they are now aiming to bring in a deputy for the super Serbian.

    Bergwijn is looking to move away from North LondonCredit: Getty
    Last month, the winger, 24, declared he was frustrated with the lack of game time he has been given at Spurs having made 32 sporadic appearances across all competitions this season.
    His stance has still not changed, and he has now made his intentions to leave North London very clear.
    When speaking to Dutch outlet AD, Bergwijn said: “I just need to go play. I want to leave Spurs now, that’s for sure. 
    “Is it important that my new club plays in the Champions League? That’s not my top priority. It would be nice, but what’s important is that I’m going to play.”

    Pique retirement hope
    Barcelona are hoping Gerard Pique will announce his retirement next summer to save them money following his shock split with Shakira.
    That’s according to RAC1, who claim Barca would prefer it if Pique rolled credits on his celebrated career in 2023 to save themselves €80million (£70m) in wages over the next two seasons.
    The centre-back has a contract with the Blaugrana that runs until 2024 and is one of the club’s highest-paid players.
    But the 35-year-old has deferred his salary multiple times in the last three years to help his financially-stricken team cope with the economic impact of COVID-19.
    The former Spain international was also one of the first Barcelona players to take a pay-cut, which helped the Catalan giants register new signings.
    This comes after Pique’s 11-year relationship with Shakira came to an end after the pop star announced their separation.
    Gavi’s Barça deal
    Gavi is widely-regarded as one of Europe’s most talented youngsters having burst onto the scene during the 2021-22 season.
    He chipped in with two goals and six assists in 47 games in all competitions, with his stunning form seeing him become Spain’s youngest ever international.
    But with his contract at the Camp Nou to expire in 2023, the midfielder has been linked with a move away from Catalonia.
    Manchester United are known to be admirers of the youngster as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield.
    Richarlison and Vinicius Jr scrap in training
    Brazil team-mates Richarlison and Vinicius Jr has to be SEPARATED during training following a heated altercation.
    The pair almost came to blows on Saturday during a training session ahead of the Selacao’s friendly with Japan on Monday.
    But their intervention appeared to further enrage Richarlison, who grimaced as Neymar put his hands around his neck.
    Cooler heads eventually prevailed after the pair were dragged apart and went their separate ways.

    Exclusive – Rangers want £5m Tymon from Stoke 
    Rangers are keen to sign Stoke City’s raiding left-back Josh Tymon – but may have to wait, writes Alan Nixon.
    The Scottish giants are planning improvements to their side after reaching the Europa League final and Tymon, 23, is high on the list.
    However, Rangers will have to either sell Borna Barisic or qualify for the Champions League group stages to fund the deal.
    Stoke will want around £5million for Tymon, who has come good after signing as a teenager from Hull City.
    Prem fixture release date
    The Premier League 2022/23 fixtures will be announced at 9am on Thursday 16 June.
    The season has been adjusted to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
    There will be a six week break in the middle of the domestic calendar for the global showpiece.
    Jesus projected salary would be joint highest at the club
    Arsenal are ready to offer Gabriel Jesus nearly £200,000-a-week to try and tempt him to join.
    The Brazilian striker is currently on international duty, but Manchester City bosses plan to speak to his representatives over the next few days.
    And even though the Gunners missed out on Champions League football on the final day, the City forward is still interested in a potential move to the Emirates.
    The wedge would match the weekly salary of defensive midfielder Thomas Partey.
    Milan and Juve after Pulisic
    Amid reports that Liverpool are after Christian Pulisic, Serie A giants continue their chase.
    The 23-year-old has reportedly sparked the interest of champions AC Milan, with powerhouse Juventus also rumoured to be interested in his services.
    Currently away on international duty with the USA, Pulisic admitted his frustration at the lack of game time at the Blues.
    Chelsea signed the American for £58million from Borussia Dortmund, however it’s speculated neither interested Italian side would be able to match that fee if the Blues wanted him.
    Pulisic wanted by Liverpool as Mane replacement
    Christian Falk at BILD Sport claims that Liverpool are interested in Christian Pulisic “as replacement for Sadio Mane”.
    The American has struggled to cement a starting place under Thomas Tuchel, leaving the winger frustrated in West London.
    Whilst on international duty this week, Pulisic said: “Of course, I want to get more playing time. I think I still got a lot of games, but it’s always something that I’m working at and trying to be a regular at club level. “
    Exclusive – Newcastle will have to pay £50m to seal Ake transfer
    Newcastle have been told to splash out £50million if they want to sign Nathan Ake from Manchester City, writes Phil Thomas.
    Eddie Howe wanted the centre-back in January and has identified him as a transfer target once again this summer.
    The Toon boss has made a second inquiry about Ake after City gave him short shrift when he first asked in January.
    The Dutch defender obviously knows Howe well, having spent four years under him at Bournemouth, before moving to the Etihad for £40m in 2020.
    Although Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte and John Stones are ahead of him in the pecking order, City would still want an increase on the money they paid two years ago.
    Tammy pushing Kane for England spot
    Tammy Abraham is ready to push skipper Harry Kane for his England place – amid links to Arsenal and Liverpool.
    But Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker will also be happy to be understudy to the man who is eyeing England’s all-time scoring record.
    Abraham said: “I think for every player that’s the mentality you’re supposed to have — to be positive.
    “Of course, we are all buzzing for Harry, we want him to smash the record and we’re always here to support him.
    “Whenever I’m given a chance if I’m on a pitch with him, I’ll try and help him to get to his targets.
    “But for me, it’s all about whenever you get the opportunity, to just try and grab it with two hands and just show what you are made of.”
    De Ligt up the world
    Manchester United and Chelsea have been dealt a potential blow with Matthijs de Ligt reportedly close to signing a new contract with Juventus.
    The centre-back, 22, has a deal until 2024 with the Turin club.
    De Ligt said: “There are talks ongoing between me and Juventus.
    “Once the right moment arrives, I will decide to extend or to look further.”
    Forest ready for Pope bid
    Nottingham Forest are ready to try their luck with a low bid for Burnley’s England keeper Nick Pope, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Premier League new- boys want the impressive shot-stopper, who is keen to stay in the top flight after the Clarets dropped down.
    Pope, 30, is valued at £40million and also fancied by promoted Fulham but neither of the outfits plan to go to that figure for their target.
    Sources close to Pope think they can force through a deal at closer to £10m but that is being laughed off at Turf Moor.
    But a compromise figure could be reached in the coming weeks.
    Liverpool ‘want Raphinha from Leeds for £60m’
    Liverpool are prepared to pay Leeds United £60million PLUS Takumi Minamino in order to land Brazilian Raphinha, according to reports.
    Jurgen Klopp is a massive fan of the pacey winger, and wants to bring him to Anfield to compensate for the expected loss of Sadio Mane.
    Raphinha scored 11 goals and provided three assists as Leeds barely avoided relegation from the Premier League – only securing their safety thanks to a 2-1 victory over Brentford on the final day.
    The 25-year-old is also wanted by Barcelona, but their tricky financial situation means they must sell before they can buy, whereas Liverpool have far more freedom in their budget.
    However, according to the Mirror, The Reds believe including Minamino as a part of a cash-plus-player transfer offer could be a deal-breaker for Leeds.
    The Whites are looking to rebuild their beleaguered squad this summer, and while losing Raphinha would no doubt be a massive loss, a major player-plus-cash deal such as this would ease much of their woes.
    Woodman wanted by Preston
    Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman is wanted on loan by Ryan Lowe’s Preston.
    Woodman, 25, is back from a spell at Bournemouth, where he had to sit on the bench.
    After starting all of the Magpies’ first four games of the Premier League season, a hip injury put the keeper out of action.
    And after heading to the South coast, Woodman was disappointed not to get a minute of Championship action.

    Now North End are keen to take him — although that would mean them having to guarantee him game time to get approval from the Toon.
    Boss Lowe’s assistant Mike Marsh worked with Woodman at Swansea which could be a contributing factor.
    Preston are also in talks with Dundee United’s keeper Benjamin Siegrist.
    Matondo open to Prem move
    Rabbi Matondo has opened the door to a return to English football this summer.
    Premier League newboys Fulham and Bournemouth as well as Scottish giants Rangers have all been linked with the 21-year-old Welsh forward.
    Schalke’s Matondo spent last season on loan at Belgian club Cercle Brugge but an agreement on a permanent deal could not be reached.
    But Matondo, in the Wales squad for today’s World Cup play-off final, said: “There’s always an appeal to be playing football in England.
    “I grew up in the United Kingdom and, one day, if the opportunity is right, this summer or whenever, I’m open to it.
    “As things stand, I’m a Schalke player. I’m here with Wales and whatever is getting done by my agent and family, we’ll see what happens.”
    Ex-Manchester City trainee Matondo scored nine goals in 26 games in Belgium last term.
    Barca make vow with Salah
    Barcelona have promised Liverpool superstar Mo Salah they will sign him next summer on a free transfer when his contract runs out, according to reports.
    Salah, 29, has one year left on his current Anfield deal, and talks have stalled over a new contract.
    And the Spanish giants have reportedly promised him a huge deal in 12 months’ time if he runs down his contract and walks away for nothing.
    The Egyptian King wants a 15 per cent increase to his current deal – currently worth around £200,000-a-week.
    Barcelona boss Xavi is rebuilding the side for an assault on the LaLiga title next season, with Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski his top summer target.
    But he is also planning ahead, and wants Salah to join in a year’s time, according the The Mirror.
    The report also states that Barcelona’s interest is a major factor in Salah’s reluctance to extend his five-year stay at Liverpool, who last weekend lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid.
    Exclusive – West Brom want Choudhury on loan
    Leicester will let midfielder Hamza Choudhury leave on loan.
    Choudhury, 24, needs game time and West Brom boss Steve Bruce is keen to take him on loan after trying to take the Foxes player to Newcastle.
    There could be a sale if an offer comes in but Baggies may be able to do a loan deal with a fixed fee should they win promotion to the top flight.
    The midfielder only played in six Premier League games last season and had a handful of substitute appearances in Europe.
    Foxes keen on £20m Diop
    Leicester are pondering a move for Monaco left winger Sofiane Diop, who is available for around £20million.
    Frenchman Diop, 21, who qualifies for Senegal, has emerged as one of the best prospects in Ligue 1 this season.
    Exclusive – Newcastle will have to pay £50m to seal Ake transfer
    Newcastle have been told to splash out £50million if they want to sign Nathan Ake from Manchester City, writes Phil Thomas.
    Eddie Howe wanted the centre-back in January and has identified him as a transfer target once again this summer.
    The Toon boss has made a second inquiry about Ake after City gave him short shrift when he first asked in January.
    The Dutch defender obviously knows Howe well, having spent four years under him at Bournemouth, before moving to the Etihad for £40m in 2020.
    Although Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte and John Stones are ahead of him in the pecking order, City would still want an increase on the money they paid two years ago.
    But at least his £80,000-a-week salary will not be an issue for Newcastle, even if keeping up his regular flow of winners’ medals – two titles and a League Cup so far – may be.
    And although Pep Guardiola doesn’t want to lose the centre back, City won’t stand in his way if he does decide he wants to move, given it will mean regular first-team football.
    Overnight transfer talk
    Gabriel Jesus and Ousmane Dembele could be heading to London – but for the time being Declan Rice looks unlikely to leave the capital.
    Arsenal are prepared to pay Brazil striker Jesus £190,000 a week plus bonuses – way above his Manchester City wage of £110k.
    Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign ex-Gunners and Manchester United target Dembele from Barcelona.
    The France winger, 25, is also wanted by PSG.
    But it’s claimed Barca have offered Arsenal and Tottenham the chance to borrow centre-back Clement Lenglet.
    But West Ham reportedly rate England midfielder Rice at £150million as they fight to ward off Chelsea and the Red Devils.
    RB Leipzig midfielder Christopher Nkunku says PSG are his ‘heart club’ – another blow for the Blues and United.
    Nottingham Forest are dreaming of capturing Old Trafford midfielder James Garner for a THIRD spell – and this time not necessarily on loan.
    And Chelsea striker Christian Pulisic is being talked out in some quarters as a replacement for Sadio Mane if Liverpool fail to keep the Senegal hitman.
    Forest in cheeky Pope bid
    Nottingham Forest are ready to try their luck with a low bid for Burnley’s England keeper Nick Pope, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Premier League new- boys want the impressive shot-stopper, who is keen to stay in the top flight after the Clarets dropped down.
    Pope, 30, is valued at £40million and also fancied by promoted Fulham but neither of the outfits plan to go to that figure for their target.
    Sources close to Pope think they can force through a deal at closer to £10m but that is being laughed off at Turf Moor.
    But a compromise figure could be reached in the coming weeks.
    Burnley will sell at the right price and boss Vincent Kompany would ask old club Manchester City for Arijanet Muric, 23.
    The Kosovo international, who had a loan spell at Forest in 2019-20, was in Turkey on loan last season and Kompany rates him highly.
    Forest launch ANOTHER Garner bid
    Nottingham Forest want Manchester United midfielder James Garner for a THIRD time, writes ALAN NIXON.
    Promoted Forest Reds would be happy with another loan – or a permanent deal – after Garner’s key role this term.
    For now, the 21-year-old is going back to United and will definitely be in Erik ten Hag’s squad when pre-season training and games begin.
    But Forest are optimistic that they lead the queue for Garner but that will mean waiting for an answer and possibly starting the season without him.
    Boss Steve Cooper will need to shelve moves for alternatives until that point but Forest may be willing to take that gamble.
    Tammy pushing Kane… – but will pull for him too
    Tammy Abraham is ready to push skipper Harry Kane for his England place – amid links to Arsenal and Liverpool.
    But Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker will also be happy to be understudy to the man who is eyeing England’s all-time scoring record.
    Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate challenged Abraham, 24, to prove he is the right striker to put the pressure on 49-goal Kane to keep on delivering as he chases Wayne Rooney’s record mark of 53 — or even replace him.
    Abraham said: “I think for every player that’s the mentality you’re supposed to have — to be positive.
    “Of course, we are all buzzing for Harry, we want him to smash the record and we’re always here to support him.
    “Whenever I’m given a chance if I’m on a pitch with him, I’ll try and help him to get to his targets.
    “But for me, it’s all about whenever you get the opportunity, to just try and grab it with two hands and just show what you are made of.”
    City want £50m for Toon target Ake
    Manchester City want £50million for Newcastle target Nathan Ake.
    The 26-cap Holland centre-back, 27, played under Toon boss Eddie Howe at Bournemouth.
    Tevez quits playing after dad’s death
    Carlos Tevez has retired from playing because he could not cope with the loss of his No 1 fan — his dad.
    The ex-United, Manchester City and West Ham striker, 38, quit boyhood club Boca Juniors last June after the death of his adopted father Segundo Raimundo, who contracted Covid.
    The Argentine has not played since and revealed he turned down offers from the MLS.
    Tevez said: “I stopped playing because I lost my No 1 fan. I’ve been offered many things — but that’s it, I have given everything.”

    Timber told to snub Utd
    Daley Blind hopes ‘unbelievable’ Ajax team-mate Jurrien Timber rejects Manchester United this summer.
    Former Old Trafford midfielder Blind also urged the Dutch champions to fight to keep the centre-back.
    Reports in Holland suggest Ajax are increasingly confident 20-year-old Timber will stay.
    And having played alongside him for club and country since 2021, Blind rates the 20-year-old as one of the world’s most promising defenders.
    The Dutch anchorman, 32, said: “He is wise enough to make his own choices.
    “What he shows from the start though is unbelievable. 
    “Of course, as a teammate, I hope he stays for another year. I cannot influence that.
    ‘”I can only say that Ajax must do its best to keep him.”
    Gavi blow
    Gavi is widely-regarded as one of Europe’s most talented youngsters having burst onto the scene during the 2021-22 season.
    He chipped in with two goals and six assists in 47 games in all competitions, with his stunning form seeing him become Spain’s youngest ever international.
    But with his contract at the Nou Camp to expire in 2023, the midfielder has been linked with a move away from Catalonia.
    Manchester United are known to be admirers of the youngster as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield.
    Chelsea want Phillips too
    Chelsea’s hunt for a midfielder could switch to Manchester United ‘target’ Kalvin Phillips.
    Leeds believe they are in a strong position to keep the 20-cap England ace, 26.
    But after suggestions Newcastle would be prepared to offer £60million-plus, there are also reports tonight that Chelsea could also be pondering a bid.
    The Red Devils were heavily linked with Phillips before the end of the season.
    Prem fixture release date
    The Premier League 2022/23 fixtures will be announced at 9am on Thursday 16 June.
    The season has been adjusted to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
    There will be a six week break in the middle of the domestic calendar for the global showpiece.
    Van the man for Ten Hag
    Donny van de Beek will be in new Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s plans next season, writes Tony Robertson.
    Van de Beek, 25, joined United from Ajax in the summer of 2020 but failed to settle and claim a position in the team.
    The Dutchman was given only sparing minutes by former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who preferred to utilise Bruno Fernandes in the number 10 position.
    He wasn’t afforded the opportunity to play in a deeper role by the former United striker either, with Scott McTominay and Fred being preferred in a double pivot.
    The playmaker was also not seen as a part of Ralf Rangnick’s plans at Old Trafford when he took over on an interim basis – instead allowing him to go out on loan to Everton for the rest of the season.
    COMMENT: Pogba should have been a Cantona or Henry
    IF the average Manchester United fan had three words to sum up Paul Pogba’s second coming at Old Trafford, most would be unprintable, writes PHIL THOMAS.
    “An absolute waste” or “what a disaster” would be among the milder responses. But in the main, you’d end up wearing out the asterisk key.

    Yet the briefest, and most cuttingly pointed, of epitaphs to bid the Frenchman farewell is this… “on his day”.
    Hardly the most insulting of phrases. Indeed, related to most footballers, usually it means the total opposite.
    Only Pogba isn’t most footballers. Pogba is as talented a player as there is, in any position, on any continent, in any era. Yet only on his day.
    We should be mentioning his name in similar terms to the likes of Eric Cantona and Thierry Henry, or Sergio Aguero and Didier Drogba.
    Only we won’t. Pogba will say farewell to the Prem as a flop. As a failure. An ‘if only’ kind of guy.

    “New Sheriff” in town
    Erik ten Hag has reportedly been called the “New Sheriff” by members of staff at Old Trafford.
    His new nickname comes after completing his first week of work at Man Utd.
    Let’s hope he can enforce a bit more order around the place than the last boss…
    De Ligt up the world
    Manchester United and Chelsea have been dealt a potential blow with Matthijs de Ligt reportedly close to signing a new contract with Juventus.
    The centre-back, 22, has a deal until 2024 with the Turin club.
    De Ligt said: “There are talks ongoing between me and Juventus.
    “Once the right moment arrives, I will decide to extend or to look further.”
    Ronaldo claims Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year
    Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, also won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.
    It is an award voted by United fans across the globe.

    Most Sir Matt Busby awards in club history:
    4 : Cristiano Ronaldo, David de Gea.
    2 : Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Brian McClair, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane.
    Ronaldo wins goal of the season
    Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Goal of the Season award for his strike against Tottenham in March.
    Ronaldo, 37, showed an NFL legend who was the “MVP” that day.
    Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady came to Old Trafford, billing the match as a showdown between his pal and gridiron fan, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Rice ‘would cost £150m’
    West Ham hope to scare off Manchester United and Chelsea by valuing Declan Rice at £150million, reports suggest.
    The England midfielder is the world-class anchorman United lack.
    But he has hinted in the past year he’s happy to stay in London.
    And although Chelsea have bounced back into the transfer market with Todd Boehly’s takeover, the Hammers are confident they can keep the 23-year-old for at least another season.
    Forest launch ANOTHER Garner bid
    Nottingham Forest want Manchester United midfielder James Garner for a THIRD time, writes ALAN NIXON.
    Promoted Forest Reds would be happy with another loan – or a permanent deal – after Garner’s key role this term.

    De Gea tipped to skipper United
    EXCLUSIVE: David de Gea is hot favourite to get the captain’s job at Manchester United ahead of Harry Maguire, writes PHIL THOMAS.
    New boss Erik ten Hag told sources he would be happy for the dressing room to choose who wears the armband when they return to Carrington at the end of this month.
    And insiders insist that goalkeeper De Gea will be the overwhelming choice among the first-team squad.
    They claim that it is not so much a “rebellion” against the current skipper Maguire, as a show of faith in how much respect and belief they hold in the 31-year-old Spaniard.
    Rice ‘would cost £150m’

    ‘Huge Utd bid for Nunez rejected’
    Manchester United have reportedly had an £81million bid for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez rebuffed.
    It’s claimed the Portuguese giants have told the Red Devils to offer more for the Uruguay superstar, 22.
    Correio de Manha say Benfica turned down a package of £64m up front plus £17m bonuses.
    United’s Brazil midfielder Andreas Pereira, 26, who is currently on loan with home country club Flamengo, was said to have been part of the offer.
    Morning, United fans
    Declan Rice, Christopher Nkunku and Darwin Nunez are all in the Old Trafford transfer loop this morning.
    But it could be tougher than ever to land any of them as new United boss Erik ten Hag prepares for his summer revamp.
    West Ham are reportedly valuing England midfielder Rice at £150million to deter the Red Devils and Chelsea.
    And it’s claimed Benfica have rejected an £81m bid from United for Uruguay striker Nunez, 22.
    But the talk last night was that the Portuguese giants might consider an increased offer.
    Correio de Manha say Benfica turned down a deal worth £64m up front plus £17m bonuses – with United midfielder Andreas Pereira thought to be part of that package.
    Meanwhile, RB Leipzig hero Nkunku revealed PSG is his ‘heart club’.
    But the France midfielder won’t ‘close the door’ on other admirers like United and Chelsea.
    Nottingham Forest want Red Devils’ midfielder James Garner for a THIRD time.
    For now, though, the England Under-21 playmaker will be plunged into United’s first-team squad following his second brilliant loan spell.
    Finally, keeper David de Gea is hot favourite to become United’s new skipper.
    Pogba should have been a Cantona or Henry
    COMMENT: IF the average Manchester United fan had three words to sum up Paul Pogba’s second coming at Old Trafford, most would be unprintable, writes PHIL THOMAS.

    Only we won’t. Pogba will say farewell to the Prem as a flop. As a failure. An ‘if only’ kind of guy, 
    If Kevin de Bruyne, Mo Salah, Harry Kane, Sadio Mane or Phil Foden have a shocker it stands out because it’s so rare.
    But for Pogba it’s hard to come up with a single OUTSTANDING performance.
    Even the most die-hard United fan would struggle to go beyond the second half of a Pogba-inspired Manchester derby comeback and a goal-scoring Europa League final against a still-developing Ajax side.

    Tevez quits playing after dad’s death
    Carlos Tevez has retired from playing because he could not cope with the loss of his No 1 fan — his dad.
    The ex-United, Manchester City and West Ham striker, 38, quit boyhood club Boca Juniors last June after the death of his adopted father Segundo Raimundo, who contracted Covid.
    The Argentine has not played since and revealed he turned down offers from the MLS.

    New boss Erik ten Hag told sources he would be happy for the dressing room to choose who wears the armband when they return to Carrington at the end of this month.
    And insiders insist that goalkeeper De Gea will be the overwhelming choice among the first-team squad.
    They claim that it is not so much a “rebellion” against the current skipper Maguire, as a show of faith in how much respect and belief they hold in the 31-year-old Spaniard.
    Ex-boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer surprised some when he named Maguire captain within six months of his arrival from Leicester after Ashley Young left for Inter Milan.
    The England centre-back, 29, is hugely proud of having the job, but some inside the club feel it is an unfair burden and could even have impacted on his form.
    Cristiano Ronaldo will also be in the running, yet Carrington sources insist De Gea is the one who can do most to heal a fractured dressing room.
    The Spain keeper became increasingly outspoken towards the end of last season as results went from bad to worse under interim chief Ralf Rangnick.
    De Gea also impressed both team-mates and coaches by returning to training early last summer to regain the job from Dean Henderson — favourite to be last year’s first choice.
    He has a year left on his £375,000-a-week contract, with United also holding a further 12-month option.
    Yet Old Trafford bosses believe he still has many more years at the peak of his powers and feel having the captain’s job could even sway him into finishing his career at the club.
    Nkunku blow for Prem giants
    Christopher Nkunku has disappointed Prem giants by suggesting PSG is his ‘heart club’.
    RB Leipzig’s France midfielder has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.
    And the 24-year-old insists he won’t ‘close any doors’ on his options.
    But he said: “Paris [Paris Saint-Germain], I’ve always said it, it’s my home, my heart club.
    “I don’t close any doors. Everything is possible in football.
    “It’s flattering to have the biggest clubs in the world interested in me.

    Blues linked to shock Kalvin move
    Chelsea’s hunt for a midfielder could switch to Manchester United ‘target’ Kalvin Phillips.
    Leeds believe they are in a strong position to keep the 20-cap England ace, 26.
    But after suggestions Newcastle would be prepared to offer £60million-plus, there are also reports tonight that Chelsea could also be pondering a bid.
    The Red Devils were heavily linked with Phillips before the end of the season.
    But any hopes of prising him from their fierce rivals dipped dramatically when Leeds stayed in the Premier League.
    Rice ‘would cost £150m’
    West Ham hope to scare off Manchester United and Chelsea by valuing Declan Rice at £150million, reports suggest.
    The England midfielder is the world-class anchorman United lack.
    But he has hinted in the past year he’s happy to stay in London.
    And although Chelsea have bounced back into the transfer market with Todd Boehly’s takeover, the Hammers are confident they can keep the 23-year-old for at least another season.
    Hungary 1 England 0
    Dominik Szoboszlai’s controversial penalty sunk mediocre England in their Nations League opener.

    England faded dramatically after a promising first 15 minutes, with new boys James Justin and Jarrod Bowen failing to shine.
    Hard-working Hungary’s first win over the Three Lions in 60 years came after their back-to-back Nations League promotions.
    ‘Huge Utd bid for Nunez rejected’
    Manchester United have reportedly had an £81million bid for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez rebuffed.
    It’s claimed the Portuguese giants have told the Red Devils to offer more for the Uruguay superstar, 22.
    Correio de Manha say Benfica turned down a package of £64m up front plus £17m bonuses.
    United’s Brazil midfielder Andreas Pereira, 26, who is currently on loan with home country club Flamengo, was said to have been part of the offer.

    Gnabry contract
    Serge Gnabry’s contract situation at Bayern Munich has STILL not been resolved, giving Arsenal’s hopes of completing a transfer a boost.
    The German winger’s contract at Bayern Munich expires next summer, meaning they will risk losing him for nothing if Gnabry doesn’t sign a new deal over the summer.
    This means the Bundesliga Champions could sell him this summer in order to get some return on him.
    Bayern president Herbert Hainer told Bild: “We’ve been in talks with Serge for a long time. Unfortunately, we haven’t reached an agreement yet.
    “There are different expectations, but we’re working on it.”
    It would be ‘a shame’ to leave, says Saliba
    William Saliba has revealed he will return to Arsenal to show them his “true face” amid transfer exit rumours. 
    Ligue 1’s Young Player of the Year has stated that he belongs to Arsenal and is keen to finally play for this “great club” and its fans.
    Saliba told Telefoot: “It doesn’t just depend on me. In any case, to leave like this, would be a shame.”
    Scamacca bid rejected
    As per Calciomercato reports, Arsenal have seen an opening offer for Gianluca Scamacca rejected by Sassuolo.
    The deal is said to be worth around £34million.
    The striker netted 16 goals in 38 games last season.
    Jesus huge offer
    Gabriel Jesus is also on the radar for clubs in Spain and Italy, but Arsenal are understood to be offering better terms, worth a basic £190,000-a-week plus bonuses.
    That would be a major increase on his £110,000 City salary, and he also had a successful relationship with Mikel Arteta when the Arsenal boss was Pep Guardiola’s assistant.
    Would he be worth it Gunners fans?
    Prem fixture release date
    The Premier League 2022/23 fixtures will be announced at 9am on Thursday 16 June.
    The season has been adjusted to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
    There will be a six week break in the middle of the domestic calendar for the global showpiece.
    Jesus projected salary would be joint highest at the club
    Arsenal are ready to offer Gabriel Jesus nearly £200,000-a-week to try and tempt him to join.
    The Brazilian striker is currently on international duty, but Manchester City bosses plan to speak to his representatives over the next few days.
    And even though the Gunners missed out on Champions League football on the final day, the City forward is still interested in a potential move to the Emirates.
    The wedge would match the weekly salary of defensive midfielder Thomas Partey.
    Could the Queen be an Arsenal fan?
    Former Gunners midfielder Fabregas reckons that the Queen informed the Arsenal team of her “true football allegiance” during a 2007 reception in Buckingham Palace.
    The 35-year-old Spaniard said: “It seems the Queen follows football and she told us she was an Arsenal fan.
    “She appeared to definitely know who I was and we exchanged a few special words.”

    Opinion on Lenglet at the Gunners
    Would Clement Lenglet break into the Gunners team ahead of Gabriel, Rob Holding and Ben White?
    Barcelona have reportedly offered North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham the chance to sign centre-back Lenglet on loan.
    The 26-year-old was a peripheral figure at the Nou Camp during the 2021-22 season where he featured in just 21 LaLiga games.
    According to The Times, Lenglet could be on his way to England in the upcoming transfer window.
    Lenglet is renowned for making defensive howlers in LaLiga so he seems a good fit for Arsenal.
    Tammy pushing Kane for England spot
    Tammy Abraham is ready to push skipper Harry Kane for his England place – amid links to Arsenal and Liverpool.
    But Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker will also be happy to be understudy to the man who is eyeing England’s all-time scoring record.
    Abraham said: “I think for every player that’s the mentality you’re supposed to have — to be positive.
    “Of course, we are all buzzing for Harry, we want him to smash the record and we’re always here to support him.
    “Whenever I’m given a chance if I’m on a pitch with him, I’ll try and help him to get to his targets.
    “But for me, it’s all about whenever you get the opportunity, to just try and grab it with two hands and just show what you are made of.”
    Maitland-Niles joy
    Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles has announced that his partner, Katya, is pregnant.
    They are expecting a son. Congrats to both.
    Jose Mourinho said he will “miss” Maitland-Niles after his loan spell with Roma came to an end.
    Maitland-Niles will now return to London after his loan spell in the Italian capital.

    Saliba confirms return
    William Saliba says he still “belongs” to Arsenal.
    The French defender, 21, is still yet to play a single game for the Gunners following his £27million move from Saint-Etienne three years ago.
    Saliba spoke to Telefoot on his future: “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 that I can play for these fans and this great club.”
    I belong to Arsenal, I still have two years left. I will be back with ArsenalWilliam Saliba
    Tierney turns 25
    Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is 25 today.
    The Scotland international has cemented himself as a fan favourite in North London since switching Celtic for the Gunners in 2019.
    Happy Birthday Kieran…

    Real tipped to beat Prem giants to Aurelien
    Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool face disappointment as Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is expected to join Real Madrid.
    The France star, 22, is reportedly close to a huge-money move to the newly-crowned European champions.
    It was claimed last month that Tchouameni had ‘agreed terms’ with both Real and Liverpool.
    But all the talk this weekend is of Los Blancos pipping Prem giants on the transfer front just as they did on the pitch this season.
    Gunners offer to double Jesus pay
    Arsenal will offer Gabriel Jesus nearly £200,000 a week to tempt him into joining, writes PHIL THOMAS.
    The Brazilian striker is on international duty but Manchester City plan to talk to his representatives over the next few days.
    Arsenal have already spoken with his agent Marcelo Pettinati.
    And even though the Gunners missed out on Champions League football, Jesus, 25, is still interested in a potential move to the Emirates.
    He is also on the radar of clubs in Spain and Italy but Arsenal are offering better terms, worth a basic £190,000 a week — plus bonuses.That would be a major increase on his £110k-a-week City salary.
    Jesus fears being pushed further down the pecking order by Erling Haaland’s arrival and has 12 months left on his contract.
    Yet City will demand around £50million to sell him — the same amount they want Newcastle to pay for Nathan Ake.
    The Dutch centre-back, 27, played under Toon boss Eddie Howe at Bournemouth.
    Monaco join Bissouma race
    Monaco are tipped to launch a big offer for Arsenal and Aston Villa target Yves Bissouma.

    Disappointed Woj tips Gunners to get it right
    Ex-Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny has expressed his disappointment that the club failed to secure Champions League football, writes JAKE LAMBOURNE.
    But the Juventus star believes the Gunners are on the right track under boss and ex-team-mate Mikel Arteta.
    The North London outfit went into the final three Premier League games of the 2021-22 season four points ahead of rivals Tottenham.
    But back-to-back away defeats against Spurs and Newcastle saw Antonio Conte’s men leapfrog Arsenal in the table.

    But Szczesny, who won two FA Cups alongside Arteta in 2014 and 2015, has insisted it was still a positive term for his old side.
    The Poland international has stated nobody would have expected anything from Arsenal after consecutive eighth-placed finishes.
    Quoted by the Metro, the 32-year-old said: “As a fan it was really disappointing. They gave it a good go, and nobody would have said before the season started that they had a chance.
    “They were still in it with two games of the season left. It’s disappointing but they have actually done a good job this year.”
    Morning, Arsenal fans
    Gabriel Jesus could double his pay to join the Gunners but Real Madrid are winning the race for Aurelien Tchouameni.
    Arsenal will offer Jesus £190,000 a week plus bonuses, compared to his weekly £110k wage for Manchester City.
    Etihad chiefs plan talks with the striker when he returns from Brazil duty in the next few days.

    Lastly, outgoing striker Alexandre Lacazette, 31, says it was a “dream come true” to play for Arsenal.
    Tammy pushing Kane… – but will pull for him too
    Tammy Abraham is ready to push skipper Harry Kane for his England place – amid links to Arsenal and Liverpool.
    But Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker will also be happy to be understudy to the man who is eyeing England’s all-time scoring record.
    Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate challenged Abraham, 24, to prove he is the right striker to put the pressure on 49-goal Kane to keep on delivering as he chases Wayne Rooney’s record mark of 53 — or even replace him.
    Abraham said: “I think for every player that’s the mentality you’re supposed to have — to be positive.
    “Of course, we are all buzzing for Harry, we want him to smash the record and we’re always here to support him.
    “Whenever I’m given a chance if I’m on a pitch with him, I’ll try and help him to get to his targets.
    “But for me, it’s all about whenever you get the opportunity, to just try and grab it with two hands and just show what you are made of.”
    Barca ‘offer Lenglet loan’
    Barcelona have reportedly offered Arsenal and Tottenham the chance to borrow centre-back Clement Lenglet.
    The 26-year-old was a peripheral figure at the Nou Camp during the 2021-22 season where he featured in just 21 LaLiga games.

    The likes of Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo were all preferred ahead of the Frenchman.
    And with the Blaugrana set to snap up Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen on a free transfer, Lenglet could fall further down the pecking order under boss Xavi.
    As a result, the ex-Sevilla ace, who is tied down at the Catalan club until 2026, could be allowed to depart.
    According to The Times, Lenglet could be on his way to England in the upcoming transfer window. They claim that the Gunners and Spurs have been told they can loan him. Gunners and Spurs have been told they can loan him.

    RB Leipzig’s France midfielder has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.
    And the 24-year-old insists he won’t ‘close any doors’ on his options.

    Gnabry’s ties as a former Arsenal player mean he could consider a return to the red half of North London despite The Gunners missing out on Champions League football for next season.
    It has previously been reported that Gnabry was unhappy with the new contract proposal from Bayern, and as it stands if an improved offer is not submitted and agreed upon then the 26-year-old is likely to move this summer.
    Other clubs who have been rumoured to be interested include Real Madrid, Liverpool, and London rivals Chelsea. Though according to Marca, Madrid are ‘not interested’ in signing him.
    However, Arsenal’s transfer plans do not hinge on Gnabry, and while he would represent a high-profile signing, he is far from number one on their list of priorities.

    Instead, that title goes to the signing of at least one new striker and a central midfielder, as well as a new defender.
    The likes of Gabriel Jesus and Gianluca Scamacca have been linked up front, while Premier League duo Youri Tielemans and Yves Bissouma have been linked in midfield.
