“It's very simple – I want a club where I will play. I am still young and for me, it is most important that I have minutes.”
A bit about United
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba wants to leave the Old Trafford, with Real Madrid being linked, according to his agent Mino Raiola. Apparently, Pogba wants to move on and Raiola claimed that they are in the process to do so.
Raiola also revealed that Pogba’s intentions are known by everyone at the Old Trafford.
"Everyone knows the willingness of Paul to move on. We are in the process of that. Everyone knows what the feelings of Paul are."
The Italian agent added: "Everyone within the club, from the manager to the owner, knows Paul's wishes."
When asked if Pogba would join the pre-season camp with United in Australia, Raiola said: "I cannot tell you anything. I live day by day."
Meanwhile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has once again been linked to the Red Devils. The Serbian was touted to move to the Premier League last year but didn’t happen eventually.
However, according to Mediaset, the Red Devils are pressing for him again as Lazio want €100 million for him but could settle for €80 million after a rather mediocre season.
Arsenal
Real Madrid left-back Marcelo reportedly wants to leave the club with Arsenal, PSG and Juventus interested in the player. The Brazilian had a very poor season last year and was relegated to the bench by newcomer Sergio Reguilon under the stewardship of Santiago Solari.
At that time, it seemed like Reguilon would be the future undisputed starter on the left at Real Madrid during the 2019-2020 season but the arrival of Zinedine Zidane changed everything.
The Spanish youngster has been sent on loan to Sevilla, where Julen Lopetegui will be managing him, while Real Madrid have signed Ferland Mendy from Lyon as a competition for Marcelo.
However, according to Le10Sport, the Brazilian is not sure about his future in the Spanish capital as he is not convinced by the words of Zidane, who still reportedly counts on him.
Arsenal, PSG and Juventus are linked to the player.
Nicolas Pepe has Liverpool interest
This has been reported for a while now but Lille president Gerard Lopez has basically confirmed that Liverpool have been in contact with Nicolas Pepe. Lopez stated that while Liverpool do have many players in Pepe’s position, they may have some departures.
He also added that the Merseyside outfit have held talks with his agents but have not spoken directly to the French outfit itself. Lopez also revealed that the club received two offers before Africa Cup of Nations began.
"I know they had contact with the player, but not with us. Liverpool, in that position, already has other players, maybe someone can leave. It's true, the Reds have had discussions with Nicolas's agents. Before the Africa Cup of Nations we had two offers, we'll see now. Its evaluation is between 40 and 80 million,” he was quoted as saying.
A bit about Chelsea
Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata has signed for Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis. He was signed by the Rojiblancos on January earlier this year on a loan move for two years but the Madrid outfit have decided to sign him outright.
In a statement on their official website, Chelsea confirmed the news. They outlined his career with the Blues and then wished him the best for his future endeavours in Spain.
Meanwhile, while Morata is off to Madrid permanently, Chelsea were able to keep Ruben Loftus-Cheek as the talented midfielder has signed a long-term deal that will keep him at Chelsea until at least 2024.
The Englishman became a regular fixture under Maurizio Sarri for Chelsea last season as he played 40 games for the Blues and scored 10 goals in the process. He is currently recuperating from an Achilles tendon rupture.
North London
William Saliba is among the most coveted young defenders in the world right now and according to a report from Telefoot, Arsenal are set to win the race for the young defender.
The Gunners have been linked with the talented Saliba for a while now, with arch-rivals Tottenham also being in the mix for him, and he might finally move to the red side of London as a deal close to €30 million is reportedly on the verge of completion.
Meanwhile, according to a report from AS, Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos has decided to move to Tottenham Hotspur are being convinced by the Spurs project by Lilywhites manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine spoke to the Real Madrid midfielder a few weeks ago to convince him to join the north London side on loan. Milan are also interested in the Spaniard but their exclusion from the Europa League means that Spurs have the advantage now.
