Transfer news LIVE: Ramsey to Liverpool, Man Utd Martial latest, Chelsea shock, Arsenal
Ramos to United? Sergio Ramos has seen his odds cut to join Manchester United. Ramos was linked to United in the past but ended up signing a new deal. But bookmaker Coral has seen a flurry of bets in the last 24 hours for Ramos to join United where his odds have been slashed into 2-1 (from 6-1) “Sergio Ramos will go down in history at Real Madrid as one of their greatest ever defenders but if this gamble is correct, the Spaniard could be heading out of the Bernabeu very soon to join Manchester United,” said Coral’s John Hill. Liverpool make 'powerful' Rabiot offerJurgen Klopp has reportedly stunned Barcelona by making a huge offer to PSG ace Adrien Rabiot. Liverpool and Barcelona have both been linked with Rabiot amid uncertainty surrounding the player’s future at PSG. The Ligue 1 giants are eager to tie the France international down but, as things stand, a move away from the Parc des Princes beckons. Liverpool have emerged as potential suitors despite forking out over £90million on the likes of Fabinho and Naby Keita. Barcelona, though, are also interested despite having Arturo Vidal, Arthur Melo, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Rafinha at their disposal. And Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo say Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign Rabiot. Barcelona are aware of the Reds’ desire to sign the player. They feel they are favourites but, in a stunning twist, it is claimed Liverpool have made ‘a very powerful’ offer to secure Rabiot’s signature. Chelsea fans want KoulibalyChelsea supporters are desperate for the club to sign Kalidou Koulibaly after he produced a stunning assist for Napoli in their win over Empoli last night. Napoli cruised to an emphatic 5-1 victory on home turf as the Serie A side reduced the gap to league leaders Juventus to three points. Dries Mertens scored a stunning hat-trick but it was Lorenzo Insigne who opened the scoring after just nine minutes with the help of Koulibaly. A rapid counter-attack saw Koulibaly provide the final pass that Insigne collected and clipped beyond goalkeeper Ivan Provedel much to the delight of home fans. "Arsenal are pathetic for the way they’ve treated Aaron Ramsey – and he could be playing for Liverpool soon instead of against them," he wrote in his column with the Daily Star. “I don’t understand what my old club are doing. How can you let a player that good run down his contract like this? It’s a nonsense. “It makes no financial sense to lose him on a free so they might as well sell him for whatever they can get now in January. “If Liverpool want him they might as well do a deal now. He would fit in there and he would help them challenge for the title.” Mourinho’s Martial claimJose Mourinho insists he wants Anthony Martial to agree a new deal at Manchester United. The pair appear to have buried their differences with Martial beginning to shine in recent weeks. The France star has scored four in his last four and Mourinho has now urged him to sign the new contract on offer. “I hope they will agree,” he said. “He’s a talented player with consistency and understanding what a football match is in the globality. When you reach that level, or when you are almost reaching that level, is when you become a top player. "One thing is top talent, another is a top player. He is now much closer to being a top player. “Obviously I would like him to stay. "I know the club wants him very much to stay. Hopefully he is going to stay.” Guardiola discusses Messi dealPep Guardiola insists he never tried to sign Lionel Messi. Messi has again been linked with a move to Manchester with claims the Premier League champions are ready to pay his £220m release clause. It has been reported that City would pay him an stunning £850,000 a week. But Guardiola insists that’s not the case. |
