Paper Round: Manchester United 'in advanced talks' for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic
United in talks for Persisic
Manchester United are in advanced talks with Inter Milan over a transfer for Croatian forward Ivan Perisic. The player equalised for Croatia against England on Wednesday, and will take part in the World Cup final against France on Sunday. According to the report in The Sun, his agents Fali Ramadani and Pini Zahavi are due in England for talks over the transfer, which has been in the works for around a year.
Darmian set to leave
One player who could be going the other way out of Old Trafford
is Matteo Darmian. The defender has struggled to break into the first
team plans of Jose Mourinho, and now Inter Milan have made a loan offer
for the player. Darmian’s contract expires at the end of the season, but
United have a unilateral option to take up another year on the contract
to prevent the 28-year-old leaving for nothing.
Leicester to offer Maguire new deal
Leicester to offer Maguire new deal
Leicester City
are planning to offer England central defender Harry Maguire a new
contract, to ward off interest from Manchester United. United are said
to be preparing a £50m bid for the 25-year-old, but Leicester City may
want closer to the £75m Southampton got from Liverpool for Virgil van Dijk. In turn, Jose Mourinho may need to sell one of his central defenders to make room for him in the squad.
Anderson set for West Ham
Felipe Anderson of Lazio is on the cusp of an imminent transfer
to West Ham. Anderson has had a medical at the club, and the 25-year-old
Brazilian should complete a deal that could reach as high as £47m. That
would take total spending at The London Stadium close to £90, in a busy
summer that should also see Fabian Balbuena join for just £3m.
