Liverpool close to completing world record deal for AS Roma goalkeeper

Liverpool are set to smash the world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper by completing a  move for Brazilian shot-stopper, Allison. The AS Roma goalie is one of the highly rated goalkeeper in the world at the moment, and he has been attracting the attention of several top European sides. Rea Madrid are among teams trying to see him next summer, but Liverpool are reportedly closing in on his signature. According to Sun Sport, the Reds are planning to win the Premier League next season, and they know their current options in their goalkeeping department are not good enough. Jurgen Klopp has made Loris Karius first choice ahead of Simon Mignolet, but even the German has flattered to deceive at some points in the season. He has, however, kept two consecutive clean sheets so far and he would be hoping to keep that form as they head into a very important moment in their season. Roma have been made aware of the interest of the European heavyweights on Allison and the Italians have reportedly set an asking price of £62 million for the Brazilian. This figure would make him the world’s most expensive goalkeeper by some distance.

Harry Kane the subject of £268 million summer move

Real Madrid have set aside £268 million for the signing of Harry Kane and the Spaniards are ready to move for him in the very next transfer window. Kane cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s top attackers when he outscored every other striker including Messi and C. Ronaldo to become the highest goal scorer of 2017. He also did impress with a goal as Tottenham became the first team to score Juventus after 11 games in their Champions League 2-2 on Tuesday. He has been attracting the interest of Madrid for the past two seasons, but he has chosen to remain committed to Spurs. However, with Tottenham, not winning trophies, it is becoming clearer that he would have to leave them if he wants to win trophies in his career. Sun Sport is reporting that Real Madrid are prepared to spend about £500 million in the transfer market next summer, and Kane’s transfer would take more than half of that outlay. Los Merengues wants him to become their leading attacker from next season as Karim Benzema seems to be at the end of his career. They also want to sign Dele Ali as well as Mauricio Pochettino, but Kane is their priority signing.

Joe Hart ready to return to Europe to save his career

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is willing to leave the Premier League in a bid to save his career. The England number one has endured a torrid time at West Ham this season after he lost his place as the club’s number one when David Moyes was made their new manager. The Manchester City goalie was axed from the Etihad when Pep Guardiola took charge at the start of last season, and he moved on loan to Italian side, Torino. He was made number one there and enjoyed a resurgence, however, when the Italians could not agree a permanent deal with Manchester City for his signature, he was forced to move on loan again this time to West Ham. The Hammers struggled early in the season with him in goal. But when Slaven Bilic was fired and David Moyes was named their new manager, he became the second choice. With just a year left on his Manchester City contract, Sun Sport is claiming that he is willing to move another European league to save his career. He is still considered England’s number one by Gareth Southgate, but if he continues to struggle to play, he may lose that spot to Jack Butland.

Christiano Ronaldo will return to Manchester United only on one condition

Manchester United have been targeting a sensational move for their former number 7, Christiano Ronaldo. Reports have even claimed that the player’s current struggles at the Bernabeu mean he would join them next summer. However, the move is far more complicated than that and it appears more unlikely at the moment. According to reports in the Spanish media, Ronaldo will never play for the Red Devils as long as Jose Mourinho remains the manager. The Portuguese star fell out with the Manchester United manager when he played under him at Real Madrid. Mourinho managed him from 2010 to 2013. Their relationship was good at the beginning but it deteriorated by the time Mourinho left to take charge of Chelsea in the 2013/2014 season. PSG wanted to make Mourinho their next manager, and Ronaldo was hoping Mourinho would join the French champions after this season. However, Mourinho has since extended his deal with the Old Trafford outfit until 2020. Ronaldo is now set to join either PSG or move to the Chinese Super League. After signing Alexis Sanchez last month, the Red Devils may not want to make a huge signing next summer, but if Gareth Bale becomes available, they would move for him.

Manchester City prepare to offer another of their star man a new deal

Manchester City have been renewing the contracts of their players since the start of this season, and as they close in on a new league title, they are set to offer another player fresh terms. The Cityzens are looking to tie down Ederson to a new long-term contract as the Brazilian has impressed in the short time he has spent at the Etihad. Ederson signed from Benfica 7 months ago after Claudio Bravo failed to make the number one spot his own last season. He has inspired them to within few games of winning yet another Premier League title. Manchester City are currently still gunning for quadruple this season after they made it to the Carabao Cup Final, Champions League round of 16, FA 5th Round and top of the Premier League. Ederson has kept one of the highest number of clean sheets this season and looks a more assured presence than Bravo. City have renewed the deals of Fernandinho, Kevin de Bryne, Nicolas Otamendi, Gabriel Jesus and they are hoping to extend their manager’s contract soon also. Ederson currently earns £70,000 per week, but he could double his current earning his new deal.

Manchester United target Tottenham defender who is refusing to sign a new deal

Jose Mourinho is targeting Tottenham defender Toby Aderweireld as the Belgian continues to negotiate a new deal with the Lilywhites. The former Atletico Madrid man has been in outstanding form since he joined them from the Spanish side and has become their most important defensive partner to Jan Vetoghen. However, his future is unclear as he has just 18 months left on his current deal and he is looking to get a new contract that will see him become one of the club’s highest earners. Tottenham do not agree with what he is demanding and they could be set to allow him to leave. Jose Mourinho is looking to replace the duo of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling after their shambolic performances this season. Smalling was at fault for the free kick that Newcastle converted to win the Red Devils and Jones scored an own goal in their match against Tottenham. The Portuguese manager knows he cannot win the Premier League with a bad defence and he is looking to focus his summer spending on that area of the field. Aderwelreid’s has a provision in his contract that would make him cost only £25 million at the end of this season.

Jose Mourinho ask Manchester United’s board to replace two of his players next summer

Manchester United are looking for two new defenders after Jose Mourinho declared that he has given up on the centre back pair of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones. The Eglish duo have been dismal recently and the Portuguese manager does not see them as the defenders that could lead them to the Premier League title. Jones scored an own goal in their 2-0 loss to Tottenham, while Chris Smalling conceded the free kick that led to Newcastle scoring in their 1-0 loss to the Magpies last weekend. These performances have forced him to ask the club’s board to get some new defenders. Mourinho has signed two defenders since he took over at Old Trafford, but Victor Lindelof is also mistake-prone while Eric Bailey is injury-prone. The former Chelsea boss has previously complained of his club’s lack of investment in the transfer market. He compared them to Manchester City who have been signing defenders for fees that are higher than strikers. Liverpool signed Virgil van Dijk for £75 million, and the Portuguese manager believes they should be spending that much on defenders if they want to win trophies too.

Premier League trio battling to sign young German prospect

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are battling for the signature of Hamburg’s youngster, Josha Vagnoman. The 17 years old starred for Germany at the last U-17 world as they reached the quarterfinals only to be eliminated by Brazil. He has been starring for Hamburg’s  youth side for a while now and several Premier League scouts who have watched him only have good things to say about him. Hamburg wanted him to play in their last game against Borussia Dortmund, but they could not field him as he has not signed professional forms with them yet. This has prompted several Premier League sides to take an interest in him. Arsenal are known for helping youngsters develop into some of the world’s best professionals and they have been selling their reputation to the youngster and his family with hopes that he would make the move to north London. Chelsea have one of the best youth teams in the world, and although it usually difficult for them to break into the first team, they usually earn higher than some professionals in other leagues. Manchester City have one of the best academy facilities in the world and Pep Guardiola is hoping that would convince Vagnoman to sign for them.
