Man Utd outcast Phil Jones unsellable with no clubs willing to put in transfer offer

Premier League

Manchester United are reportedly struggling to generate any interest in Phil Jones, despite their efforts to offload him ahead of the imminent arrival of Raphael Varane. The 29-year-old has not played for United in 18 months after falling out of favour before picking up a long-term knee injury, with other centre-backs enjoying game time in Solskjaer's side in that time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Jones still has two years remaining on his contract at the club, but he will fall down the pecking order even further when Varane arrives. According to the Manchester Evening News, Jones is unable to attract a transfer fee due to the injury that has ruled him out for more than a year, even though his contract will expire in June 2023. The defender signed ...

Chelsea have had two offers turned down by Inter for the Belgium international, who is open to returning to Stamford Bridge six years after his exit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Inter’s resistance in talks so far has left Chelsea reassessing their options but the Telegraph claim they are only playing hardball and that they may be forced into selling Lukaku because of the club's financial situation.

Arsenal change transfer plans after receiving Thomas Partey injury diagnosis

Premier League

Arsenal will be without Thomas Partey for their Premier League opener, and they could be forced into a rethink over their plans. The midfielder suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Arsenal’s pre-season friendly defeat to Chelsea on Sunday, with Mikel Arteta not optimistic when asked about Partey after the game. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ‘I just had a talk with the doctor. He’ll have a scan tomorrow,’ explained the Spaniard. ‘At the moment it’s not looking good because he was in pain and he could not continue which for Thomas is pretty unusual.’ According to football.london, Partey will miss the club’s Premier League opening game against Brentford while his participation against Chelsea the week later is also in doubt. Although the injury...

Harry Kane to be punished by Tottenham as he looks to force through Man City move

Premier League

Tottenham intend to slap Harry Kane with a huge fine after he skipped pre-season training in an attempt to force through a move to Manchester City. Kane first revealed his desire to leave Spurs in May and was not seen as the rest of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad returned for duty at the club’s training base on Monday, with the 2021/22 Premier League season less than a fortnight away. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The England skipper and his camp maintain that they have a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ in place with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy which would allow him to complete a move to the Etihad before this summer transfer deadline.

Chelsea defender offered to Inter in player-plus-cash bid for Romelu Lukaku

Transfer Info, Premier League, Seria A

Chelsea offered Marcos Alonso plus €100million (£85.5m) in an attempt to prise Romelu Lukaku away from Inter Milan but it was rejected by the Serie A club. Erling Haaland has been a major Chelsea target for much of the summer, with Thomas Tuchel keen on signing a proven striker and goalscorer with a view to mounting a serious title challenge this season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Dortmund’s £150m asking price for the Norwegian star has led them to instead focus their efforts on re-signing Lukaku, who was previously at the club from 2011 to 2014 but failed to make any impact.

Man Utd handed Raphael Varane setback due to two complications

Premier League

Manchester United will have to wait longer before confirming the arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. This comes after the Red Devils and Real Madrid reached an agreement over the signing of the Frenchman, with Solskjaer keen to sign a partner in defense for Harry Maguire this summer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); And when Varane became a possibility, the Red devils went all out for the Madrid star, who has agreed personal terms with his new team. A deal has already been struck that will see the France international move to Old Trafford for a fee that will rise to £43million with add-ons. But, Varane will be going nowhere anytime soon with the player experiencing visa troubles, according to the Telegraph. The 28-year-old is yet to travel to...

Olivier Giroud urges Hakim Ziyech to join him at AC Milan

Seria A, Premier League

AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud says it would be ‘nice’ if Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech joined him at the Italian club. Ziyech joined Chelsea in a £33.3m deal from Ajax last year but struggled to make an impact particularly after Thomas Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard as manager in January. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Reports have claimed that the Blues would be open to selling the Morocco international, while AC Milan have registered their interest in him. And Giroud, who played alongside Ziyech at Stamford Bridge last campaign before making the move to Serie A this summer window, is keen to link back up with the midfielder. When asked about the possibility of Ziyech also joining him at AC Milan before the end of the transfer window, Giroud said ...

Kai Havertz trolls Bernd Leno after Chelsea’s friendly win over Arsenal

Premier League

Kai Havertz couldn’t resist the chance to remind Bernd Leno that he put one past him after scoring in Chelsea’s pre-season victory over Arsenal on Sunday. The Chelsea player scored the opening goal in the first half as he rifled his effort past Leno. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Granit Xhaka pulled Arsenal level in the second half but an error from Hector Bellerin gifted Chelsea the win as his pass fell straight into Tammy Abraham’s path, who finished low past the Arsenal keeper. Havertz played alongside Leno at Bayer Leverkusen and the Germany national team - the midfielder sent a reminder to the Arsenal goalie on Instagram by tagging him in his celebration picture. Speaking after Chelsea’s 2-1 win, Thomas Tuchel insisted that his team were deserve...

Van de Beek’s plan to improve his first team chances at Man Utd for the new season

Premier League

Donny van de Beek is looking to impress Manchester United, and hopefully improve on his disappointing first season at the club, by spending the summer bulking up his physique. The Dutchman joined the Red devils from Ajax last year for a fee of around £35million but failed to make any impact at Old Trafford. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The midfielder scored on his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace but he made just four starts in the league over the season and not score another goal. He played 36 matches in total over all competitions, but the majority of those games were from the bench and he didn’t find the back of the net in the FA Cup, EFL Cup or Europa League. Far from giving up on his career at United, Van de Beek has looked to add mo...

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema sent a classy message to Raphael Varane ahead of the player's move to Manchester United. The France international is set to join United on a four-year deal this week after Real Madrid accepted a £39m bid for the defender, who had intimated he would not sign an extension to his contract. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Varane won 18 trophies at Santiago Bernabeu and did so alongside Benzema, who joined the La Liga club two years before the defender joined the Spanish capital over Manchester.
