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!
Marco Silva on Andre Gomes and Kurt Zouma
Everton manager Marco Silva has spoken about the situation surrounding Kurt Zouma and Andre Gomes, both of whom are on loan at the Merseyside club.
According to Silva, the only thing he knows about the situation regarding Andre Gomes is what the player himself said to him. Silva stated that the relationship between the two is honest and that the Portuguese hasn’t made a decision regarding his future.
"The only feedback I've had until now is from Andre and what he's said to me, because our relationship has been really honest since the first day.
"He hasn't decided anything about his future, his agent also. That's what I can say to you.”
Silva then went on to speak about Kurt Zouma, who is on loan from Chelsea, and added that it is now up to the club to show ambition and sign these players on a permanent basis because they have been very important for the Goodison Park outfit.
"We've already talked about not just him but Zouma also, and now it's up to us to show that ambition.
"I'll repeat what I've said over the last few months. Him and Zouma have been key players for us," Silva added.
He finally added that the duo could not have done the things they have without the support of the team-mates and the coaching staff.
"They haven't done anything alone, because all the other players have helped. They welcomed them and supported them, like we did as a technical staff.”
While Zouma has been linked with a move back to Chelsea, Andre Gomes is reportedly on the radar of Spurs.
Ole could be sacked
Manchester United could sack their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if they lose to Cardiff in their next game, according to former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson. The Norwegian replaced Jose Mourinho in 2018 and even though he started off very well when he was in charge of the club on an interim basis, things have deteriorated ever since he became the permanent manager.
As a result, Merson thinks that should Ole fail to win against Cardiff, anything could happen as the Norwegian’s contract may not have a hefty termination clause like Mourinho’s did.
"Nothing surprises me in football, if they lost to Cardiff who knows what would happen," he said.
"I wouldn't know. I don't see Solskjaer being on a Mourinho contract, where you'd have to pay £15m to get him out of it - I think there'll be serious meetings if they don't win this game.
Ander Herrera and Alexis Sanchez
Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has decided to leave the Red Devils in the summer after his contract expires. The Spaniard was signed in 2014 and has been at the club for 5 years now.
"A club with thousands of fans that respect and remember all the players who give everything. I felt special when I heard my name chanted. I felt proud when the fans decided I was part of this incredible history," he said in a departing message to the fans.
Meanwhile, former Barcelona superstar Alexis Sanchez has been offered to Real Madrid. The Manchester United star has fallen down the pecking order and it seems as though he wants to leave.
However, the Galacticos have rejected the possibility of signing the former Udinese superstar as he doesn’t have much future value when compared to younger stars.
Juventus, United
Usually, the last slide of the transfer roundup goes to one of the two giants of La Liga who are also somehow involved with the Premier League. However, we have something different today as Juventus and Manchester United steal the headline.
Speaking of Alexis Sanchez, it turns out Real Madrid aren’t the only ones whose name has been linked to the former Arsenal star. His agent Fernando Felicevich has spoken to the Old Lady’s sporting director Fabio Paratici regarding a potential deal.
However, the biggest story of the day goes to Manchester United – and Juventus, again – as according to reports, Juventus are willing to sell Paulo Dybala, who hasn’t had a great season at Turin this year.
The Old Lady are reportedly willing to sell him for €100 million and both Manchester United and Bayern Munich are interested in acquiring his services.
