Jadon Sancho move to Manchester United close to collapse, Ronaldo linked to PSG and Willian to Arsenal
Jadon
Sancho may stay at Borussia Dortmund, Willian ready for Arsenal,
Manchester City close in on Nathan Ake and Cristiano Ronaldo fancies
Paris Saint-Germain.
Sancho deal in the balance
The
Athletic - and every other media organisation in Britain, it seems - is
reporting that the proposed move for Jadon Sancho from Borussia
Dortmund to Manchester United is in the balance. The 20-year-old England
international has not yet agreed terms with his potential new club, and
Dortmund are asking for the full 120 million euros in a single payment.
***: Given
every single newspaper has this story, all at the same time, it’s a
reasonable assumption that they have been briefed by United’s executive
vice-chairman Ed Woodward. This is a transparent attempt at playing
hardball, and unfortunately with this kind of briefing there is no way
to tell if there is truth in it or not. Woodward may simply be trying to
up the pressure to exact concessions on the fee.
Willian ready to turn down MLS for Arsenal move
Chelsea
winger Willian is prepared to take less money from Arsenal compared to a
big-money offer from Major League Soccer (MLS). The 31-year-old
Brazilian international has a generous offer from David Beckham’s Inter
Miami but he is willing to sign with Arsenal - who will also give him a
three-year deal - in order to keep his family in London, the Mirror
says.
***: Willian
was clearly distressed by the impact that coronavirus had on his
personal life so it is no surprise that he would prefer to stay in
England if he is able. Given the United States’ handling of the Covid-19
outbreak it also makes sense that he would not be willing to go across
the pond and risk his safety.
Man City close in on Ake
Manchester
City are reportedly close to a deal for Bournemouth City defender
Nathan Ake. Chelsea are not keen on bringing the 25-year-old Dutch
international back to Stamford Bridge and Pep Guardiola will agree a £41
million transfer to follow the confirmed deal for Ferran Torres from
Valencia, according to the Telegraph.
***: Manchester
City’s central defenders have struggled this season, especially after
seeing Vincent Kompany leave to become player-manager at Anderlecht.
John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi could both leave too, meaning that City
may even want to add two central defenders in this transfer window.
Ronaldo linked to PSG
Spanish
newspaper Marca reports on a story that suggests that Cristiano Ronaldo
is entertaining the idea of a move to Paris-Saint Germain. The
35-year-old Portuguese international was ready to move on from Juventus
before coronavirus struck, but the French club are not necessarily keen
on adding the player to a front line of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
***: Neymar,
Mbappe and Ronaldo would probably rival Liverpool’s front three to
claim to be the best in the world, but Financial Fair Play implications
should surely put paid to that. However, when or if either of their two
current forwards move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, as has been
rumoured, then Ronaldo would surely rack up the goals in France.
