Premier League transfer news: Man Utd to sign superstar for over £200 million, West Ham to make €80 million bid for Real Madrid star and more – May 13, 2018

Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup of the day! As you can see from the headline, today’s rumours are just insane – and so we will begin without any further ado!

#5 Merson speaks about Morata

Paul Merson thinks that Alvaro Morata could leave Chelsea in the summer.

“We talk about confidence, and he’s lost his,” Merson was quoted by Express.

“I cannot see him being there next season. There’s talk today about him going to Juventus, I think that ticks the boxes.

“I just don’t see him being at Chelsea. I just don’t think he suits the Premier League, he’s not that kind of player.”

#4 Mahrez saga and some West Ham

Mahrez could finally leave now

After failing to sign him in the winter window, Manchester City will make another attempt to sign Riyad Mahrez in the summer and are hopeful that he will be their first signing of the summer window for £65 million, say The Sun.

Meanwhile, according to a report from the Daily Mirror's live transfer feed (13/05; 10:23), West Ham have entered the race for acquiring the signature of Thomas Delaney of Werder Bremen.

#3 Man City to bid for Zaha

Wilfried Zaha is Awarded the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April

So the player that has been linked with Tottenham for almost five years might be snapped up by another Manchester club as the Mirror claim that City would attempt to sign Zaha in a move worth £50 million.

Meanwhile, Ryan Sessegnon has a price tag slapped on him by Fulham. According to The Sun, Fulham will let their most prized asset leave for £100 million and nothing less than that.

#2 The want for Benzema

Benzema is a wanted man it seems

Sometimes, I just include these reports for the sake of laughter. According to Diario Gol, Florentino Perez has named a price on Benzema and two clubs are willing to pay it after his second leg performance against Bayern has made him somewhat of an attraction.

And the first club is AC Milan – and that makes sense, doesn’t it? They are, after all, a superpower in Italy. But then there is another club from England that want him and are willing to pay €80 million for him: West Ham. West Freaking Ham.

#1 Rumour of the day

Outbound?

So I don’t know how many times this rumour will be recycled and reposted by different outlets but according to a report from Mirror, Manchester United are going make a sensational move for Neymar in the summer.

They have informed the Brazil star that they will compete with Real Madrid to bring him to Old Trafford in a deal that could cost the Red Devils over £200 million and over £30 million a year in wages.
