Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premiership!
Wan-Bissaka and Danny Rose
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer. After a good season, he seems to have attracted the interest of many teams with United being the frontrunners to sign him.
However, according to Ray Parlour, the price quoted for the defender is borderline ridiculous. Even though he likes the player, labeling him ‘excellent’, he doesn’t think that he has done anything to warrant a £65 million price-tag.
“It is madness, absolute madness,” he was quoted as saying. “I really like him, I think he’s an excellent player and I’ve seen him on quite a few occasions.
“His defending is very good and he gets forward. But for £65million, it’s crazy.”
He then cited the examples of Ajax youngsters, who are being linked with big-money moves to top European clubs and according to Parlour, it doesn’t make sense because they haven’t achieved much yet.
“Look at those Ajax youngsters, they’re only young. They’ve not really done anything yet. They’ve really shown that they can play in an Ajax shirt and have done really well in the Champions League but they’re going for £70-80million as well.”
Meanwhile, Danny Rose spoke about the possibility of leaving Tottenham, suggesting that he could indeed leave the club.
“I don’t know what the future holds now,” Rose said. “I’m looking forward to a break. If I’m back at Tottenham next season, great, if I’m not – great. I’ll just have to wait and see.
“It’s not about regular first-team football. I know my age and I know how the club’s run in terms of if you get to a certain age they might look to ship you on.”
Bale should be signed
According to former coach Rene Meulensteen, Manchester United should take the risk of signing Gareth Bale in the summer. The Welshman is reportedly unwanted at the Bernabeu and Meulensteen thinks that he could be a good asset for the Red Devils.
He also added that the Welshman adds explosiveness to the team and can both score and create goals, before finishing up by claiming that it is a bit difficult with his current situation in Spain.
“We all know he’s had his fair share of injuries, so it’s always a risk.
“But, on the other hand, a top notch Gareth Bale is a really good asset for Manchester United.
“He brings power, he brings pace and he can create and score goals. It’s a bit difficult to see where he is at the moment, though.”
Should United sign him?
Oblak to United
Jan Oblak is perhaps the best goalkeeper in the world. It would be very difficult to name another shot-stopper who is better than him. And it seems as though he is not happy at Atletico Madrid.
According to reports, Jan Oblak is not content with life with the Rojiblancos due to ‘broken promises’. The report further adds that he prefers a move to Manchester United in the summer.
Oblak wants the club to be more competitive. It is also being reported that PSG are in the race to sign the Atleti shot-stopper. However, Manchester United have a chance to sign him even though they are not in the Champions League next season.
The Red Devils are said to be in the hunt for him as David De Gea’s contractual situation has not been resolved as of yet. The Spaniard’s deal with the Old Trafford club ends next summer.
Rashford and Kovacic
Marcus Rashford, to many, is the future of Manchester United. However, he has a lot to improve on but that hasn’t stopped top clubs from being linked with a move for the English youngster.
According to reports from Spain, Philippe Coutinho’s chances of staying at Barcelona next season are decreasing with each passing second and the Catalans have already identified a replacement in Marcus Rashford.
Meanwhile, Chelsea may have a transfer ban for the next two windows but they could still sign Mateo Kovacic due to the fact that he is already registered in the team.
And according to reports, Real Madrid have given Chelsea a deadline to make a move for the Croat. Madrid are hoping to earn around £50 million for the player and want a decision from Chelsea by the end of June.
The report also claims that the Blues are not sure whether to sign him permanently with Maurizio Sarri expected to leave.
Raiola’s clients
It is actually quite intriguing that two of Mino Raiola’s biggest clients are the main talking points of this transfer window. Both Paul Pogba and Matthijs De Ligt have been linked with a move out of their respective clubs this summer and there is a good chance that it ends up happening.
According to reports, Liverpool have been told what they have to do in order to sign the coveted Dutchman, who is being tracked by a plethora of clubs. His wages are reportedly going to be huge while Mino Raiola, too, is expecting a huge commission.
Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has been linked with both Juventus and Real Madrid and according to reports from Spain, he really wants to join the Galacticos. So much so that Raiola has informed Perez that the United star has rejected Barcelona because he doesn’t want to play with Messi.
United are asking for €170 million for the World Cup winner.
