Man City to offer £45m for Juventus defender

Man City set to offer £45million for Merih Demiral


Manchester City are set to offer £45million for Juventus defender Merih Demiral claims Manchester Evening News.

Cityzens’ defensive problems have been blatant in this season following the injury to their star defender Aymeric Laporte.

Pep Guardiola is currently missing the right personnel in the back-line and has now reportedly urged City to make an offer for Demiral.

The Turkish centre-back has been gaining interest recently from England, as clubs like Leicester City and Arsenal have all asked about his availability. Both the clubs have had an offer rejected last week.

Despite being a bench-warmer at the start of this season, Demiral has slowly gained the faith of Maurizio Sarri, and also managed to supersede Matthijs de Ligt with his impressive displays. The 21-year-old was signed from Sassuolo in the summer.

Cityzens are also said to be interested in Demiral’s compatriot and the Foxes centre-back Caglar Soyuncu.

Guardiola’s men managed to beat Manchester City in the Carabao Cup’s third-round game. They will face Aston Villa in the weekend’s Premier League fixture.

Eriksen ready for Spurs exit


Christian Eriksen is reportedly in talks with his agent and representatives of Man Utd regarding a January transfer window move. The Danish international has long been linked with a move from White Hart Lane to Old Trafford, the major stumbling block remains the fact that Tottenham will demand a fee of around £55 million.

Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy is known for being a ferocious transfer negotiator and is fuming that he has been unable to agree a new contract with Eriksen. However, the Dane has been very clear that he would like to leave North London as he hopes to add trophies to his impressive CV.

Eriksen’s contract at Tottenham will expire in July 2019 and the club do not want Eriksen to leave on a free transfer and are hoping to redeem a transfer fee in January if the player departs the club.

Eriksen has been a loyal servant to Spurs but is frustrated in North London. There are numerous teams that have expressed interest in Eriksen, but it is understood the creative midfielder would prefer to stay in England.

Allegri is currently linked with Manchester United and Bayern Munich
Football Transfer Centre


Manchester United are slumping lately as they are in the 10th position in the PL standings. The Red Devils have picked up just 13 points from 11 matches, with only one win in their last 5 games.

Manchester United were handed a 1-0 loss by Bournemouth last weekend and due to this result, the position of head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains doubtful.

Former Juventus and AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has been rumored to replace Solskjaer if United fail to improve their performance. However, Bayern Munich are also interested to bring in Allegri after sacking Niko Kovac following a 5-1 loss against Frankfurt last weekend.

Former England manager Fabio Capello thinks Massimiliano Allegri should choose Manchester United instead of Bayern Munich. “England’s exciting, there’s the possibility of working well and the Premier League is a championship that enriches you. If I was Allegri, I’d go to Manchester.” Capello said.

Capello, who has also served as AC Milan and Juventus coach in the past, added that Allegri would fit in ideally with the young and talented United squad.

Smalling set for permanent Roma deal?


Serie A giants AS Roma are reportedly confident of signing Chris Smalling on a permanent basis from Manchester United when the season comes to a close.

The England international joined the Giallorossi on a season-long loan from the Red Devils over the summer but they were not able to agree on the option to buy.

Earlier this week, it had been indicated that the Red Devils may consider keeping the services of Smalling next season with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer impressed with the centre-back’s performances in Rome.

However, according to Sky Italia, that does not seem the case and the Italian are growingly optimistic of committing the central defender to a long-term contract with the club.

Smalling, who made 34 appearances for the Red Devils last season, is currently said to be valued at around £12.9m and that remains within the range of the Giallorossi next summer.

Roma recently registered a second successive league victory and that has propelled them into the top four. Next up, they have a tricky challenge with Napoli, who are one point behind them, making the trip to Stadio Olimpico.

Dean Ashton says Declan Rice is not ready for Man Utd

Rice has been linked with Man Utd recently


Former West Ham United striker Dean Ashton advises Declan Rice not to join Manchester United. According to him, the young midfielder must at least wait for one or two seasons.

Recently, the young Englishman has been linked with Manchester United. In fact, a number of sources have reported the Red Devils are ready to spend 100 million pounds to sign Rice.

Ashton says that it is not the time for Rice to move to a bigger club. The former England national team player who retired early thinks that West Ham is the right club for the development of Rice’s career.

“I feel as if he’s still got improvements to make and there is no better place to learn and do that than West Ham.” Ashton said.

Pundits believe Declan Rice is to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United. Both players share similarities in their styles of play. It is also worth mentioning that Rice and Carrick had both graduated from the West Ham academy.

Up and coming teenager Mason Greenwood has signed a new contract with Manchester United, signalling the club’s intent to make the England youth international an important member of the first team in the near future. Greenwood has put pen to paper on a contract with United until 2023.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has yet to expose Greenwood to too much playing time, but will be delighted to have brought through the player as a bit-part performer so far this season. 

“Mason has progressed through our outstanding academy and we are delighted with the progress he has made,” Solskjaer said.

“At such a young age, he already has great pace and intelligence and he is such a natural finisher. Since he came into the first team, he has really impressed everyone with his drive and attitude, he has all the attributes to become a top player.”

“Having grown up as a Manchester United fan, playing for the first team is a real dream come true,” Greenwood said of his new deal. 

“I know that, when I play for this club, I represent the whole academy and I want to repay the faith that my coaches have shown in me with my performances on the pitch. I am learning all the time from the manager and his coaching staff and I know that this is the perfect club to help me reach my potential.”
