Manchester United have opened negotiations with Juventus to sign French star Paul Pogba, reports L’Equipe in France. Jose Mourinho is keen on signing Pogba, and also wanted him at Chelsea last season. Apparently, another meeting is scheduled to take place between Manchester United and Juventus next week, when the Premier League side could make an offer for Pogba. Juventus have set an asking price of €100m for the former Manchester United player.

Liverpool, today, confirmed they have reached an agreement with Watford for striker Jerome Sinclair, after a fee of £4m was agreed between both the clubs. Sinclair’s contract was set to expire this summer, and earlier it was expected a transfer tribunal might be needed to decide the transfer fee, but it now appears both the clubs have quickly resolved the matter.

Crystal Palace have agreed a fee of €2m with Marseille for their skipper Steve Mandanda, reports L’Equipe. It is reported Crystal Palace have agreed personal terms with the player yesterday, after which Mandanda completed his medical examinations.

Newcastle star Moussa Sissoko is a transfer target for Liverpool, reports L’Equipe. The Frenchman has no intentions of playing in the Championship next season, and it is reported the Magpies have already rejected a bid of €12m from Hamburg.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic put an end to all speculations regarding his future today in his own style today. The Swedish superstar who bowed out from the international scene recently after his country’s exit from Euro 2016 took to social networking site Instagram to reveal that he is joining Manchester United this coming season.
