Redknapp on Gareth Bale

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that Gareth Bale would be a fantastic addition to any side that he joins. The Welshman has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu with a return to Tottenham and a move to Manchester United being touted.

And according to Redknapp, he would be a great addition to any side as he has the ability to make the difference and turn the game around for the side that he plays for.

"Whoever signs him will be signing a fantastic player," Redknapp said. "Any club he can go to he can make a difference - he can turn any club around.

Redknapp believes that Manchester United would make a great decision if they sign the former Southampton star as Bale, according to his former manager, can make an instant impact for the side he goes due to the talent that he has.

"He would be a great signing for anyone - Man United could do with Gareth Bale.
"There's not a club in the country where he wouldn't make a massive impact. I think he's an incredible talent.”

Finally, he concluded by stating that regardless of who acquires the services of the Wales star – be it Manchester United or Tottenham – will be lifted with the presence of the superstar forward.

"Anybody who gets Gareth Bale is going to lift them. If it's Spurs, Man United, whoever it is, it would be an amazing signing for them."

This season is almost certain to be the last one for the Welshman at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Matthijs De Ligt is one of the most coveted players in the world right now. He has had an excellent season with Ajax this year and has, as a result, incurred the interest of many European clubs with Manchester United being one of them.

However, according to Guillem Balague, the interest for the player has declined from Manchester United’s end due to the price of the defender. He also added that the Dutchman isn’t too keen to join the Old Trafford outfit due to them missing out on the Champions League.

“The interest from Manchester United cooled down because of the cost,” Balague said.
“And there wasn’t too much reciprocation of love, if you like, from De Ligt because Manchester United are not in the Champions League next season, so that was taken out of the list long time ago.”

Newcastle United could break their transfer record once again this summer, just 6 months after signing Miguel Almiron for a club record fee. According to Sky journalist Keith Downie, signing Salomon Randon permanently in the main priority for the Magpies.

He also added that Rafa Benitez’s side want to add some midfielders, a full-back on both sides and a forward before stating that he won’t be surprised if the Magpies break their transfer window record – but it depends on how much they earn through departures.

“In addition to Rondon, Newcastle are in the market for a couple of midfielders, a full-back on either side and another forward to pair with record signing Miguel Almiron.
“Do not be surprised to see Newcastle smash that £21m transfer record again this summer, but the number of arrivals will depend on outgoings.”

Manchester madness has not only come early but with a bang, as there are four different stories surrounding the Manchester clubs and we shall start with the Red Devils at first.

According to reports from France, the Old Trafford outfit are falling behind in the race to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of Paul Pogba as they are willing to wait until the situation regarding him is resolved.

Meanwhile, according to reports, Manchester United could sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid if they are willing to let Paul Pogba go to the Santiago Bernabeu. The Galacticos are apparently looking for a way to get rid of Bale and are willing to include him in the operation to sign Paul Pogba.

However, the report ends with a warning: the case could be complicated by the former Spurs star.

The madness continues to another slide as both Manchester clubs are in the news. The Etihad outfit have won the Premier League for a second season in a row and it seems like there will be some tweaks in the team.

According to reports from Germany, Bayern Munich are highly interested in acquiring the services of Leroy Sane from Manchester City. The Bavarians are confident about landing him due to their good relationship with Pep Guardiola, who is reportedly willing to let the player go.

Meanwhile, according to reports from Spain, Adidas are willing to help Real Madrid sign major target Paul Pogba from Manchester United. The kit brand had earlier offered their assistance with the signing of Kylian Mbappe but the Frenchman was too expensive.

Manchester United want €188 million for the Frenchman while the Galacticos are willing to pay €150 million and this is where Adidas could help.
