Forget Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for a moment, Paul Pogba is now the name on everyone’s lips with Real Madrid and Manchester United set to battle it out for him as we look at your latest transfer talk.
Spain’s AS reports that the Juventus midfielder is high on Real Madrid’s summer target list as they want him as a “marquee signing” (back in the day it he would have been called a galactico) and, should the transfer go through, he will link up with his idol Zinedine Zidane in the Spanish capital.
Over in England, The Guardian reports that Manchester United “are now weighing up whether to turn their long-standing interest in bringing Pogba back to Old Trafford“.
Old Trafford or the Santiago Bernabeu? Difficult choice.
Regarding Aubameyang, Sky Sports reports that Manchester City are “in advanced talks with Borussia Dortmund”.
Kenyan superstar Victor Wanyama’s future continues to be up in the air with the Mirror reporting that Southampton “have resigned themselves to losing Victor Wanyama to Tottenham“.
But it looks like the Saints will hang onto their other African player Sadio Mane as the Senegalese international is set to be offered a new deal.
Christian Benteke has made it clear that he will only stay at Anfield if he “remains in the coach’s plans. If that’s not the case, it will become difficult to stay“.
As mentioned earlier this week, Juventus appear to be interested.
This of course means Liverpool will want another striker and they have joined the race to sign Edison Cavani from PSG, according to Tuttomercatoweb.com from Italy.
In case you had forgotten, Uruguay international Cavani has been linked by just about every team from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid in the past few months.
In other Chelsea news, Diego Costa could still end up back at Atletico Madrid as their president Enrique Cerezo has admitted he could return to the Vicente Calderon.
Other bits and pieces:
- Leicester could replace Jamie Vardy with Troy Deeney as they are set to bid £15m for the Watford captain.
- Meanwhile Watford are interested in Roberto Pereyra from Juventus.
- Lazar Markovic, remember him Liverpool fans?, is set to be offered to Galatasaray.
- Barcelona are close to signing Sevilla’s Mariano. He will be a direct replacement for Daniel Alves.
- La Liga champions Barca are also interested in Las Palmas defender Mauricio Lemos.
