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!
Solskjaer fires warning
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stated that he won’t be afraid to tell his unwanted players to leave the club. Ever since taking over the managerial role on a permanent basis at the Old Trafford, things have not gone well for the Norwegian.
As a result, a lot of players are expected to be the shown the door and the former Manchester United striker has claimed that managing the players is a part of his job and that being ruthless to a player is just something managers have to do and that he is not fearful of it.
“My job is to work for the club,” he said.
“I have to manage for the club, and manage the players, yes. You give people a chance, but sometimes, you’ve got to be ruthless and say: ‘Sorry but you had your chance.’ I’m not afraid to do that.”
He also stated that lots of talented players want to play for the Red Devils as they are a dream club for anyone but also admits that there are players who prefer playing in the Champions League than just being at the Theatre of dreams.
As a result, he hinted that the latter kind of player might not be the best ones for the club.
“I know Manchester United is something players would love to experience.
"Manchester United will always be a dream for so many. There might be players where Champions League football (solely) matters for them, and they might not be the right people.
"We've got to get it right on the pitch with the ones we have. It's not just about signing players."
Leandro Trossard to Arsenal
Agent of Genk star Leandro Trossard, Josy Comhair, has claimed that while client has no agreement in place with any club, playing in Germany would be a good option for the youngster.
He also then added that Arsenal is another great destination since playing for the Gunners means that the player is already performing at the top level and the only way from there is almost always down.
“There is no agreement with any club yet. But I think that Germany is a beautiful country for him.
“But yes, it can also be Arsenal. Because with Arsenal you are immediately at the highest level and you can almost only go down,” he said.
He then added that his client is worth €20 million.
“If you sell Ndidi for €17m, you can sell Leandro for 20, you know. For less than 20 million you don’t have Leandro.”
Malcom and Gomes
Barcelona might had stolen the signing of Malcom from Roma but the player hasn’t been able to stamp his authority on the team. While he has shown glimpses of his talent here and there, his name is almost always linked out of the Camp Nou.
And according to reports from Spain, the player, as a result, prefers to move to the Premier League in search of regular playing time. Clubs like Arsenal, West Ham and Everton have been linked with the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have been linked with a move for another Barcelona star in the form of Andre Gomes. The Portuguese is currently plying his trade in the Premier League with Everton on loan and has seemed to capture the attention of Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
According to Football Insider, Everton fear losing out on the Portugal star as Spurs are moving into a pole position.
Real Madrid attack
Everyone knows that this will be the summer where Real Madrid go gung-ho in their approach in the transfer market. It has been a long time since the Blancos splashed the cash and this summer might just be the biggest one in the history of the Merengues.
While reports often link Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic to the Bernabeu, N’Golo Kante is another name who has found his name being pitched alongside the Galacticos.
Ever since Zinedine Zidane took over the reins with the Merengues, the former Leicester star’s name has been constantly up there as a Casemiro replacement. And according to reports, he might just be signed by the Blancos.
The Blancos are apparently tracking the French World Cup-winning midfielder over a potential move to the Bernabeu. However, Chelsea would demand a huge fee for their prized midfielder as they are almost set to lose Hazard.
Story of the day
Liverpool are currently going through a roller-coaster of a season. The Reds are currently on top of the Premier League but Manchester City have a game in hand and are only just two points behind them.
In the Champions League, the Merseyside outfit could go to the final of the tournament for the second year in a row but will have to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona at the Anfield in order to do that.
As a result, the Reds still have a chance to win the double this season. However, Liverpool might lose one of their top stars in the summer transfer window as Mohamed Salah is reportedly preparing his departure from the Anfield.
The Egyptian has apparently contacted Paris Saint-Germain to talk about the scope of being a part of the project in France. It will be very difficult for the Reds to keep him if they don’t win against Barca.
