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!
Daniel James to United
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has claimed that United making a move for Daniel James is the right thing to do. He believes that the Old Trafford outfit are set to spend a lot of money in the summer market and that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not the right man for them.
“I think this is exactly the kind of move Manchester United should be making,” he said.
“I think United are going to spend an unprecedented amount of money this summer to be able to bridge the gap, and it’s a risk because think they’ve got the wrong manager in place.”
However, according to Jordan, a move to a club of United’s stature involves a risk for the youngster as he might not be able to get many minutes in the first team.
He stated that sometimes, young players’ career go down the drain after joining a top club while also mentioning that Daniel James might not have done enough to earn a move to the Red Devils as he still hasn’t played enough to warrant a move to the Theatre of Dreams.
“I also think this move is a risk for the young player to take his career and maybe find himself on the periphery of the first team for a significant part of the season,” Jordan continued.
“I’ve had young players who have moved to big clubs that it halted their career.
“There’s a dynamic with this young player that he hasn’t really earned his stripes, he hasn’t really learned the game, he hasn’t played enough to be able to land at a place like Manchester United.”
Danny Mills on Declan Rice
Former England international Danny Mills has claimed that West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is a very talented player that has the ability to play for almost any club.
The England midfielder has been linked with many teams and according to Mills, while he has a lot of room for improvement as a player, as he is yet to play in the Champions League, he has no doubt about the ability that he possesses.
“He is a fabulous talent with a massive future ahead of him,” Mills said. “He is young and still has a lot to learn, as he’s not played Champions League football or much international football.
“He has to go through that learning process, but I’ve no doubt about him in the slightest. He’d be the perfect signing for so many clubs looking at a getting a midfielder this summer.”
Coutinho and Bruno
Philippe Coutinho joined Barcelona only 18 months ago. At the time, it might have been a dream fulfilled for him. But life is a funny old thing – and, sometimes, even the biggest of dreams turn into nightmares.
Such seems to be the case for the former Liverpool star as according to reports from Spain, he has asked Barcelona to sell him. The Catalans want £80 million for him as they are looking to recoup the massive £142 million that they spent for him.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes is another player who finds himself in the mix of the rumour mill this season. The Portuguese has been in great touch and a number of European clubs are behind his signature.
And according to reports, Tottenham have made a €68 million offer for him. However, United are willing to pay €70 million plus €10 million for the superstar.
Barcelona want Rashford
Yes, you read that right. Barcelona fans are currently not happy with the way things are going around at the club. They had the chance to win a treble but it all came crashing down when they lost to Liverpool 4-0.
After that, in the final of the Copa Del Rey, they lost to Valencia and ensured that they finished the season with La Liga only. While that may be enough to keep a lot of teams happy, it simply wasn’t good enough for Barca.
So a big summer could be expected at the Camp Nou. And according to reports from Spain, Barcelona are eying a move for United's Marcus Rashford, who could be available for €80 million.
However, Real Madrid are trying to complicate matters for the Catalans as they are also interested in the player and can offer Gareth Bale plus €50 million for the youngster.
Story of the day
If you thought that the earlier slide was the story of the day, then you are absolutely wrong. Any other day, that might have been the case but not today as we have a cracking story for you.
Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Sadio Mane of Liverpool ever since Zinedine Zidane took over the reins at the Santiago Bernabeu. And according to reports from Spain, the Galacticos are set to make a mega offer for the Liverpool superstar.
The Galacticos are reportedly willing to offer Marco Asensio or Isco and €60 million for the Senegalese superstar. The Merengues are aware that Jurgen Klopp is a fan of both Isco and Asensio.
As a result, they are hoping that Liverpool will agree to this.
What do you think? Should Liverpool accept this bid from Real Madrid for their prized asset?
