Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day! Today, we are heavily decked with Manchester madness, so are you ready to be a part of this madness? Let’s go!
#5 London
With Petr Cech not getting any younger, Arsenal are in a desperate need of a goalkeeper. As a result, they have been linked with Bayer Leverkusen’s Bernd Leno by The Sun.
Meanwhile, according to a report from Mirror, West Ham United will pursue West Bromwich Albion’s Jonny Evans at the end of the season after the latter’s relegation is confirmed, which would make Evans available for only £3 million.
#4 Manchester madness
The beginning of overkill Manchester rumours is here as El Bernabeu claim that while Manchester United seemed like favourites to land Gareth Bale, Manchester City have made contact with the Welshman with a view of snatching him away from their rivals.
Meanwhile, ESPN sources inform that Manchester United are set to lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur over the signature of Fulham’s talented wonderkid, Ryan Sessegnon, in the summer.
#3 More Manchester madness
Following the above pattern of Manchester City attempting to steal Man United’s transfer target, Pep Guardiola is apparently very interested in acquiring the signature of Samuel Umtiti, who has a release clause of just €60 million, say Don Balon.
Meanwhile, the same outlet claim that Real Madrid are still hunting for a world-class goalkeeper to replace the erratic Keylor Navas and have eyes on David De Gea. And Manchester United are also willing to sell him, but only if they get Isco in return - but Perez doesn't intend to do so.
#2 Rumour of the day
Mohamed Salah is a man making the headlines for the all the right reasons. His stunning performances have not gone unseen at the Bernabeu.
According to Don Balon, the Galacticos want the Egyptian and Liverpool are willing to let him go if the Blancos pay them either £200 million in cash or £150 million + Gareth Bale – and Florentino Perez isn’t going to consider any of it.
#1 Rumour of the day II
Neymar’s name is a showstopper – be it on the pitch or in the rumour section. He has been linked with a move to Manchester United for a few weeks but there seems to be some major update to it by Don Balon.
According to the report, Manchester United not only want Neymar but also his team-mate Marco Verratti in a bid to refurbish their midfield. As a result, Neymar could bring his team-mate to the Old Trafford next season.
