BATTLE OF HAALAND MANC
Manchester United and Manchester City are expected to fight for a move for Erling Haaland in the coming months.
The 20-year-old is considered Europe’s top young scorer, scoring 33 goals in just 26 starts since Borussia Dortmund signed him last January. That’s one of many ridiculous Haaland stats.
Manchester City are planning to live without Sergio Agüero, with the Argentine’s contract terminated at the end of the season and no news of talks about a new contract for the injury-plagued legend.
And United’s admiration for Haaland is well known, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer worked with his compatriot in Molde and a failed attempt to sign him was reported when he left RB Salzburg for Germany.
Haaland’s release clause, believed to be around £ 65 million, doesn’t take effect until 2022.
But Dortmund could well look to cash in on their star player before then and receive true market value rather than what currently appears to be a steal. And both Manchester clubs are keen to rack up more cash to avoid missing out, according to the Daily mail.
But it will not be only in your interest with Real Madrid among those who are also linked to a play.
PRAISE OUT
Bayern Munich’s reluctance to offer David Alaba a new contract is a bit strange. The 28-year-old will leave the German giants free this summer and will be able to negotiate with other teams in January.
Chelsea are one of four European heavyweights who are said to be interested (why wouldn’t they be?), But it appears they will miss out on Alaba’s agent in talks with Real Madrid about a possible change to the Bernabéu.
That is according to Brand, which ensures that Pini Zahavi is in contact with the Madrid hierarchy at the request of his client, who prefers to go to the side of Zinedine Zidane over Barcelona, PSG or Chelsea.
The Blues were interested in Alaba, with current starting central defender Thiago Silva, 36, far from a long-term solution.
But the Austrian’s salary demands are believed to be a problem for Chelsea.
Because it will be available on a free transfer, you could make a tough deal when it comes to personal terms and your broker is reportedly demanding £ 350,000 a week.
That would make him Chelsea’s tallest winner, with Kai Havertz currently at the top of the list at £ 310,000 a week.
AND THE REST
Bayern not chasing Hudson-Odoi in January … Winks to speak to Daniel Levy about concerns about his Spurs future … Dominik Szoboszlai to join RB Leipzig on Arsenal … Rodgers has told Demarai Gray who has no future with Leicester … Koeman is still interested in Wijnaldum … Leicester and West Ham interested in Roma star Amadou Diawara.
