Breaking: Man United willing to offer premeir League playmaker £240,000-weekly in attempt to complete summer transfer

According to widespread media reports, Premier League giants Manchester United are allegedly ready to offer Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen a contract worth £240,000-weekly in a bid to persuade the attacker to join the Old Trafford club in the coming summer.

According to the Mirror, the Red Devils are ready to triple the current wage of Eriksen that stands at £80,000-weekly to try and persuade him to swap Spurs for United, with it also being cited that a move for the Denmark international attacker could set United back about £95million.

The Spurs Superstar would be a brilliant acquisition for the Red Devils, as the 27-year-old attacker has proven year in year out that he’s one of Europe’s best creative attacking midfielders.

The Dane has managed to score 64 goals and created 85 assists in 268 matches for the London based side since his return in 2013, an impressive figure for a midfielder.

The Red devils could welcome a player like the Spurs stars into their side with open arms, as it would take some pressure off Paul Pogba’s shoulders.

The France international midfielder is the Red Devils main creative figure, and has been for a number of seasons now, and we are certain that the Red devils could do with another top class creator in midfield to ease the severe pressure on the former Juventus star in the future.

It’ll be intriguing to see if United manage to be successful in their transfer pursuit of the world class playmaker, as we believe it would be brilliant for the North London club to offload the Danish attacker now with his deal set to run out at the end of next campaign, according to the Mirror.

Done Deal: Man United place price tag on Real Madrid target as midfielder inform teammate about his departure

The Red Devils are looking to get a bid of about £112million for midfielder Paul Pogba this coming summer, as per wide spread media reports.

According to a British media reports, the English giants will only listen to offers of about £112million for the Frenchman this summer window.

A report via The Guardian is claiming that the United star is attracting several interest from reigning Serie A champions Juventus ahead of the next transfer window

The same report suggest that the Turin giant could be forced to offload about two or three members of their playing personnel to fund a move to land the FIFA World Cup winner.

As per the same report, Juventus might have to sell Miralem Pjanic and Douglas Costa to fund the purchase of Paul Pogba.

The same media outlet also claim that the midfielder’s controversial representative Mino Raiola has already had a meeting with Juventus hierarchy to discuss a possible transfer.

He has spent three years at Old Trafford but the Frenchman has struggled for top form consistency at the English club.

Pogba, 26, has won the UEFA Europa League title and the League Cup in England, but the player has been unable to lead the side to major honours.

The France international midfielder has however netted 13 goals and has created nine assists in the English League this season, although a large number of his goals come from the spot.

The Red Devils – who played out a disappointing 1-1 with top four rivals Chelsea on Sunday – lost 4-nil to La Liga side Barcelona on aggregate in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League earlier in the month.

Manchester United ready to smash transfer record by triggering star’s €120m buy-out clause

Manchester United are reportedly ready to pay the €120million required to trigger the buy-out clause of Benfica sensation Joao Felix.

The Portuguese wonderkid is enjoying a superb breakthrough season and has been linked with a host of big names ahead of the summer transfer window.

Benfica will be understandably keen to keep hold of Felix for as long as possible, but they could be in a tricky situation now as it seems Man Utd are serious about a deal.

According to Don Balon, the Red Devils will not be put off the 19-year-old’s €120m release clause, and now look prepared to pay that fee to win the race for his signature.

If they do bring in Felix for that fee, roughly £104m in sterling, that would smash their previous transfer record fee paid for Paul Pogba as he joined from Juventus in the summer of 2016.

Joao Felix is a transfer target for Manchester United

According to BBC Sport‘s report at the time, Pogba cost £89m to bring in from Juve, but the transfer market has exploded since then with a flurry of huge fees, started off by Neymar’s 2017 move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Double exit: Manchester Utd superstar duo reach touted agreements on personal terms to quit Old Trafford

Man Utd could reportedly be dealt a double blow as it’s suggested that Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera have agreed terms to join Real Madrid and PSG respectively.

The Red Devils are currently in an alarming slump in form at the worst time as they have crashed out of the FA Cup and Champions League in recent weeks.

Further, they also now risk missing out on Champions League qualification ahead of their crunch showdown with Chelsea on Sunday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s brilliant start to life as boss has seemingly become a distant memory.

The Norwegian tactician will hope that his side can deliver in the final three games of the season to snatch fourth spot, but it’s been reported that he could have major headaches this summer in potentially having to replace key individuals in his current squad.

AS report that Pogba has agreed on a €12m-a-year deal at Real Madrid, albeit it’s worth noting that surely means nothing in the bigger picture as the Spanish giants will more importantly have to reach an agreement with United over a transfer fee to have any chance of prising him away from Old Trafford.

Nevertheless, it is a concern if accurate, as that would suggest that Pogba is indeed looking elsewhere this summer and is ready to move on if the club green light an exit.

However, that’s not the only midfield department being touted, with AS also reporting that Herrera has reached a four-year deal with PSG as he prepares to become a free agent this summer when his contract with Man Utd comes to an end.

Should the pair both leave this summer, that would decimate Solskjaer’s midfield and leave him with the likes of Nemanja Matic, Fred and Scott McTominay.

That is evidently nowhere near enough quality and depth to challenge on multiple fronts for major honours, and so while Herrera is arguably the bigger concern given his contract situation, United will surely be desperate to hold onto Pogba regardless of whether or not he has a reported agreement with Madrid.

Done Deal: World class midfielder finally agrees terms ahead of transfer this summer

Despite transfer interest from North London giants Arsenal, it appears like Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera will eventually join French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain when his deal runs out this summer window.

According to reports, the Spain international has agreed terms with the Ligue 1 Champions after refusing to elongate his deal at Old Trafford.

Although United had offered the player a new contract, he was unhappy with the pay on offer nor the possibility that he would be shifted to the role of team player henceforth.

Discussing with the media, the midfield ace gave an update on his contract situation towards the end of the month of March.

Herrera told El Peridico it is logical to be connected with other teams when you have just three months left of your contract. The midfielder says he takes it as normal and that we would focus on football while his contract lasts.

He said he has left the rest with his agent both the possible contract renewal with Manchester United and possible negotiations with another club.

Since that time, things have drastically changed although many football fans expected the team to make an effort to keep the Spaniard after they gave Norwegian manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the permanent role at Old Trafford.

As for the Gunners, they have a little transfer budget this summer window so free agents are extremely tempting more than ever before.

With this development, the north Londoners will have to seek midfield reinforcement elsewhere.

Also, United and arch-rivals Manchester City will allegedly do battle for the priceless signature of Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech in the summer.

The attacker has been in good form for the Eredivise side during the 2018/2019 league season, grabbing 19 goals and assisting 20 in 42 games across all competitions.

Hakim, 26, has helped his Dutch side reach the last-four of the UEFA Champions League, while his side are also presently top of the Eredivisie log.

As per The Sun, the player is a target for the Sky Blues, but the Red Devils are also interested in signing the Morocco international playmaker, which will likely spark a transfer battle in this summer’s transfer window. The forward is thought to have a £25million buyout clause in a deal which runs out in the summer of 2021.

Serie A giants Juventus hope to raise fund to the tune of €100 million from the offload of Paulo Dybala in a bid to fund a summer move for Benfica star Joao Felix, who has been tagged by many as the most exciting young talent in Portugal since 5-time Balon D’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

Argentine star Paulo Dybala has heavily struggled to keep a regular starting spot in Max Allegri’s side and could be seen surplus to requirements in Turin in the summer, despite having netted ten goals in 37 games this season.

English giants Manchester United have been connected with the South American in time past and are also said to be interested in Felix, along with German Champions Bayern Munich, Premier League champions Manchester City, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is thought to oversee an overhaul of his first-team at Old Trafford this coming summer and will pay attention to strengthening at full-back, central defence and a creative attacker capable of operating on the right flank.

Talking about the task he faces in reviving the side in the coming transfer window the Norwegian tactician said he needs players at the club who will take the team forward.

According to reports, Man United forward Marcus Rashford is being monitored by la Liga giants FC Barcelona, who are preparing a lucrative summer move.

The England international striker has enjoyed a brilliant individual campaign at the club, scoring 13 goals and creating 8 assists in about 30 matches in all competitions.

The forwards best form this term coincided with the arrival of Norwegian tactician Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the side’s new head coach back in December, as the forward was moved into a more central zone in attack following months featuring on the flank under Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho.

The forward’s continued presence in the starting XI at Old Trafford will be crucial to their chances of a premier League top-four finish.

Offer Set: Man United ready mouth watering offer to lure teenage sensation to Old Trafford

According to reports, Premier League giants Manchester United are readying to make a bid for Roma star Justin Kluivert, with head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thought to be a fan of his incredible talents.

The Norwegian was named United’s permanent manager few days ago, and so will now play a major role in reinforcing the team this summer window.

Chelsea identify £90m La Liga superstar as ideal replacement for Hazard amid transfer ban appeal successful

Chelsea are prepared to target Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho in the summer transfer market, in the event that Eden Hazard is sold to Real Madrid.

According to Diario Sport, the Belgian winger is being heavily linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, as newly returned boss Zinedine Zidane plots a major squad overhaul.

The Blues are reluctant to lose Hazard given their impending two-window transfer ban, which was issued after the club allegedly broke rules regarding signing minors from foreign clubs.

However, if their appeal on the ban is successful, Chelsea would be wise to cash in on their most prized asset, who could otherwise leave for free at the end of his contract in 2020.

Eden Hazard in action for Chelsea

Diario Sport reports that the club have prepared for this eventuality and identified Coutinho as the ideal replacement for Hazard, despite his frustrating campaign at the Camp Nou.

The Brazilian has failed to live up to expectations in La Liga since his lucrative move from Liverpool in January 2018, with the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele overshadowing him on the pitch.

Philippe Coutinho at Barcelona

However, Chelsea have seen first hand in the Premier League how devasting he can be at his best and if he could rediscover the kind of form he showed regularly at Liverpool, Coutinho is still a superstar capable of adding significant quality to any squad.

Transfermarkt states that the 26-year-old is currently valued at around £90 million, but such a large fee could be covered by any of the funds raised by the sale of Hazard – which would likely exceed that price.

As per Diario Sport, Paris Saint Germain are also very interested in Coutinho, but he has ruled out a transfer to Manchester United, due to his past links with their arch-rivals Liverpool.

Chelsea could be well placed to swoop for the Barcelona midfielder when the window reopens, but only if their legal woes subside long enough for them to submit an official bid.

Man United willing to spend ridiculous amount to sign 24-year-old

Spanish media outlets are reporting that English Premier League side Manchester United want to table an offer to convince Atletico Madrid midfield maestro Saul Niguez to join Manchester but its been claimed he would cost United a whopping £125 million.

Sometime in the month of March, reports indicated that defending English Premier League champions – Manchester City are edging very close to a swoop for the midfielder, with Spanish head coach Pep Guardiola seeing the 24-year-old creative midfielder as a long-term replacement to ageing South American midfielder Fernandinho.

As per ESPN, City are rather targeting youngster Rodri Hernandez, who plays with Saul at La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.

The Red Devils are after a key player to reinforce their midfield option and they feel he can do the job needed as United manager Ole Gunnar looks for an ideal pair for France international Paul Pogba in the middle of the park.

The Spaniard has been an attraction of the Red Devils for long, and he nearly joined before the Spanish club convened him to remain.

Saul extended his deal to the summer of 2026 where his buyout clause increased from about €80million to €150million.

But Solskjaer’s team face the tough task of convincing the player’s club to lower their demands as Atletico are demanding €150 million (£128million) buyout clause is agreed.

Saul, who has played 15 matches for his national side, is one of the best players of his present Atleti side and he has won 5 honours with the side.

Spain international midfielder Saul has spent the whole of his professional football career at Atletico, netting 33 goals in 240 appearances.

Barcelona want €80m to allow key figure to leave Nou Camp this summer

Amid interest from Juventus, it’s been reported that Barcelona will demand €80m to green light an exit for Samuel Umtiti this summer.

The 25-year-old was once regarded as an indispensable figure in the Barca line-up, but injuries have taken their toll this season and put his future at the Nou Camp in doubt.

Umtiti has managed to make just 12 appearances so far this season after a troublesome knee injury kept him sidelined for a huge part of the campaign, but despite returning to fitness in recent weeks, he has been unable to force his way back into coach Ernesto Valverde’s starting XI on a regular basis.

Aside from being left on the bench for the last three Champions League games, he’s started just four of the last eight La Liga outings, with Valverde seemingly prepared to rotate and rest Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet who have established themselves as his first-choice centre-half pairing.

However, as noted by Calciomercato, they will not allow him to leave for cheap regardless of how his stock has fallen, as they will demand €80m to sell him this summer.

It’s added that will be enough to put Juventus off from making an offer, as the Bianconeri seemingly don’t believe that’s a fair valuation.

The Turin giants are on the verge of an eighth consecutive Serie A title this season and remain in the hunt for the Champions League.

However, with veteran Andrea Barzagli announcing his retirement this past weekend and with Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini on the wrong side of 30, they will have to find long-term replacements for their stalwarts sooner rather than later.

Umtiti would arguably fit the bill perfectly, but Barcelona will have to perhaps lower their demands if they are to allow him to leave this summer, while they continue to be heavily linked with a swoop for Ajax starlet Matthijs de Ligt, as noted by the Daily Mail.

“He’s going” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms Manchester United star to seal summer departure from Red Devils

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Manchester United star Antonio Valencia will be leaving the club at the end of the season, ending his 10-year stint with the Red Devils. 

Valencia has been a loyal, reliable servant for United since his arrival at the club from minnows Wigan Athletic back in the summer of 2009.

And after a decade at Old Trafford, it seems like the 33-year-old is finally going to call time on his stint with the Red Devils if Solskjaer’s words are anything to go off.

As per the Metro, when speaking about his potential choice of captain for next season, Solskjaer stated “We’ve had Antonio (Valencia), he’s going, we’ve had Ashley (Young), we’ve had Paul (Pogba), we’ve had David (de Gea), Chris (Smalling) has been captain, so there are players here who can be captain on the pitch.”

Given the fact that the Ecuadorian’s deal with the club is set to run out at the end of the season as per the Metro, it’s not really a surprise to hear that the player is to leave the club and move on the pastors new in the summer.

Solskjaer has confirmed Valencia is to end his stint with United in the summer

Valencia has proven to be an excellent, consistent player for Man United over the past 10 years, with the defender bagging a total of 25 goals and 62 assists in that time, a decent return for a right back.

However, with the player now 33 years old and seemingly frozen out of United’s starting XI this season, it makes sense for the player to move on from his time at United and find a new club in the summer.
