Real Madrid and Barcelona to fight it out for Pogba
Interest in Pogba seems to be one the rise as both Spanish and Catalan giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, want to acquire the signature of the French World Cup winner.
According to Don Balon, Pogba is liked a lot at the Bernabeu and they want him to join the Galacticos. However, they can only free up the money and sign him in the summer – and that is something they have conveyed to him.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have decided to scout him in every game or the rest of the season. These guys are really serious about the France star, who was bought by United for €100 million in 2016, aren’t they?!
Barcelona interested in Paqueta
It hasn’t been long since Lucas Paqueta was linked to Manchester United and now, almost like a clockwork, a club might not be pleased with the fact that the Red Devils are looking at a player that even they have targeted.
Enter Barcelona. According to Don Balon, Coutinho is aware of the “betrayal” that is going to happen against Barcelona. Apparently, he knows that Mourinho wants his compatriot and has informed his team-mates that the Portuguese wishes to strengthen his team with the acquisition of the Brazilian.
United look to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
During the summer transfer window, Manchester United were linked to Lazio’s Milikovic-Savic – especially in the early part of the summer. However, in the end, the deal never took place as the Serbian stayed put at Lazio.
However, that could change soon as both Juventus and Manchester United could be in for the midfielder. According to Calcio Mercato, Juventus was to sign Paul Pogba from the Old Trafford, an operation that could cost at a value in excess of €100 million.
So should Juve buy Pogba, Manchester United could use the cash from that sale and purchase the midfielder from Lazio in the process.
Herrera to leave?
Ander Herrera has been a fan favourite to the United enthusiasts ever since he joined the Old Trafford outfit. The Red Devils paid his release clause to bring him out of Athletic Club in 2014 and he has been at the club ever since.
However, he might not be gracing the pitch at the Old Trafford for long as he is yet to extend his contract with the Red Devils and might as well leave for pastures new.
According to The Sun, after failing to come to an agreement due to talks lack of progress, Herrera could be on his way out of the Theatre of Dreams with Barcelona encircling him. Since his contract runs out next summer, the Catalans can tie him up on a pre-contract after January 1, 2019.
