Hot football transfer gossip: Neymar, Pogba, Cavani, De Bruyne
Manchester United really have been trying to spend money this summer, bless them. They’ve offered millions and millions for Pedro and Bale and Muller and Ramos and lord knows who else, but no one will take their cash. It means the Red Devils are actually in profit for transfers during this window - a rather emasculating position to be in for Britain’s biggest club - but they aren’t giving up yet. Not by a long chalk. They have a new plan - and it begins with Neymar.
The new plan is not so much about Neymar himself, but more about how much United are willing to pay for him according to today’s Sun. The figure quoted is £240m. Or in other words, three Ronaldos. So United’s plan is to bid so over-the-odds for the world’s best players that their clubs are too greedy to reject them. Man City and Chelsea have been doing this for years, of course, but even they haven’t paid £240m for anyone. Not even Fernando Torres. If you read the small print in the Sun you’ll learn that the Neymar fee includes wages, but it still involves them paying a £165m to buy him. Two Ronaldos.
United’s next transfer swoop will presumably be £420m for Manuel Neuer, or a million billion pounds for Lionel Messi. And you know what, it could just work.
It all makes Chelsea’s £70m pursuit of Paul Pogba - still continuing apace according to the Evening Standard - look like a cut-price deal, even if United did once let him leave for nothing. The arrival of Juan Cuadrado at Juventus today - and that’s fact, as opposed to hot football transfer gossip - does possibly give some credence to the reports that Chelsea may get their man. But then, the Colombian could just be making way for Pedro.
In other big boys transfer news, the Mirror claims that Arsenal have quickly turned their attention to PSG’s Edinson Cavani after being spectacularly pied off by Karim Benzema.
And in something of an interesting twist in the otherwise hideously dull Kevin de Bruyne saga, Man City may suddenly face competition from Bayern Munich. The Telegraph says the Germans are willing to wait a year before signing the Belgian, which could mean he stays at Wolfsburg until then.
Slaven Bilic has just remembered - seven days before the end of the transfer window - that he doesn’t have any wingers except Matt Jarvis. The Standard reports that the West Ham boss is now desperately trying to sign a wide man, with Victor Moses, Adnan Januzaj and Aaron Lennon the names mentioned, along with Joey Barton even though he isn’t a winger.
The Hammers are also being linked once again with Emmanuel Adebayor, Jonny Evans appears to be edging closer to a move to West Brom, while Bournemouth and Sunderland are allegedly battling it out for former Swansea midfielder Jonathan de Guzman.
