11:50 UPDATE: Nedved snubbed Man Utd

Man Utd made enquires for Pavel Nedved but the former Czech Republic midfielder rejected a move because he wanted to “give back” to Juventus.

“I’ve always appreciated English football and the Premier League, I’ve always liked it,” Nedved said.

“My agent received some offers and I have always been a great supporter of Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson, specifically, at that time.

“They were certainly one of our greatest opponents and also a great source of inspiration and drive and desire.

“Ferguson achieved great things, unprecedented things and I don’t know if anyone else in the future will be able to achieve what he did.”

11:20 UPDATE: Bale to Chelsea?

Real Madrid want to offload Gareth Bale to Chelsea – but the player himself would supposedly rather join Man Utd.

OK Diario director Eduardo Inda said: “Real Madrid wants to transfer him to Chelsea this summer and his agent to Manchester United. 

“The player says that since they are going to sell he will choose his destination.

“And in the club [Real Madrid] they say no because [Eden] Hazard is done and would serve as a bargaining chip.”

10:25 UPDATE: Real Madrid want two Chelsea stars

Real Madrid have got their eyes on a double Chelsea swoop by adding N’Golo Kante to their summer shopping list.

The Spanish giants are growing increasingly confident that Eden Hazard will be moving to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.

And they are now ready to further infuriate the Blues by moving for Kante.

The midfielder is also on the wanted list of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain – but Real reckon they can get the deal done before their rivals.

10:00 UPDATE: Sancho told to snub Man Utd

Jadon Sancho should not join Manchester United due to the level of competition in his position already at the club, ESPN FC pundit Alejandro Moreno claims.

“Anthony Martial just got a new deal, didn’t he,” Moreno said.

“Marcus Rashford’s not going anywhere, Jesse Lingard’s not going anywhere.

“So if you’re Sancho, do you want a piece of that? Stay where you are right now.”

09:35 UPDATE: Pogba tried to force move

Paul Pogba tried to quit Manchester United in January, Italian outlet Tuttosport claim.

They say the France international was eager to return to Juventus.

It is said that he called his old club, despite his form improving under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

09:10 UPDATE: Wenger on Ozil

Arsene Wenger has warned Unai Emery that replacing Mesut Ozil could cost him as much £100million.

The French coach, speaking at the Laureus World Sports Awards, said: “I feel that the length of the contract has nothing to do normally with the selection of the team. But sometimes there are special cases. 

“Most of the time now we think when we sign a player for five years we have a good player for five years. 

“But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they practise, they play their best. Because they might be in their comfort zone.

“He has a contract but the problem is that, if you want to buy a player like him, you have to spend £100m.”

08:30 UPDATE: Liverpool eye Sancho

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed his interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

When asked if he would like to sign Sancho, Klopp said: “Buying English players is a smart idea because we would never have a chance to get Sancho.

“We are not blind – we saw him, we liked him and then we think ‘Can we get him?’ No. Because English clubs don’t sell to other English clubs.

“I don’t know exactly what the reason is for that but they don’t do it. Now they can go to Germany which is a wonderful league.”

08:10 UPDATE: Man Utd top target revealed

Manchester United have made Milan Skriniar their top target this summer.

The Independent claim the Inter Milan centre-back tops the Red Devils’ wishlist, with Ed Woodward ready to spend.

Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Sampdoria’s Joachim Andersen are also targets for United, however, Skriniar is the No 1 choice.

The Independent add that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already voiced his opinion to the United board over potential singings.

07:45 UPDATE: Hazard to Real Madrid update

Real Madrid will not sign Eden Hazard if they splash the cash and land Neymar this summer, transfer expert Ian McGarry claims.

“I guess a problem for Madrid is maybe half of their squad is ageing and needs to be upgraded,” he said on The Transfer Window podcast.

“Spending so much money on one player would be a little bit of a gamble, but at the same time they’ve got some very good young players coming through, so bringing Neymar in, I suppose you could look at the positive side of the encouragement factor.

“This is very bad news for Eden Hazard, because I don’t see Hazard and Neymar going to the Bernabeu given the similarities between the two players.

“So that would be an interesting one in the mix, would PSG look to replace Neymar with Eden Hazard, who of course began his career in France?

“So the fact that Madrid are vry serious about it doesn’t surprise me.”
