Manchester United appear to be preparing a double raid on Paris Saint-Germain, after having identified Randal Kolo Muani as the answer to their striking problems and Nuno Mendes as their ideal left-back, although neither transfer seems simple. Muani, who joined Parc des Princes for £77million just 16 months ago and has scored twice in 14 appearances this season, could go out on loan and is also of interest. Tottenham while finding himself on a three-man shortlist drawn up by Juventuswhere he is joined by United players Joshua Zirkzee and West Ham, mostly injured Nicolas Fullkrug – the Old Lady hope to free up funds by selling the former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz back in the Premier League, with Manchester City one of three clubs they offered him to.
Mendes is in the final 18 months of his contract in France, and the Telegraph reports that “there have been several discussions” between United and the 22-year-old’s representatives, but also that PSG are hoping to convince him to sign a new contract. deal and that there are “doubts he will demand a transfer during this window”.
In the meantime Bayern Munich opened discussions with Sporting agents Victor Gyökeres in the hope of derailing a possible move to Manchester, where he would reunite with his former manager Ruben Amorim. If the Muani affair did not happen, United could try to sign Victor Osimhen instead, although Napoli have no plans to let the Nigerian leave this month, even if Marcus Rashford is offered in part-exchange. In the meantime Olympiacos are willing to pay £1.5 million for a loan Anthony for the rest of the season and Casemiro is still wanted in Saudi Arabia, where the plan is to snap him up for around £23m – leaving United counters Bean facing a £50m loss on a player they signed ago two and a half years – and put him in the same Al-Nassr team as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fortunately, they would recoup much of that thanks to a buy-out clause. smart resale of around £18 million. %. The Sun reports that Chelsea have made an opening offer, but cites a ‘source’ as saying: ‘Their offer was far from a fair price. It was stupid and they need to offer more to even have any hope.
The Mail counters that only “internal discussions” have taken place at Stamford Bridge about the move, that “Palace is aware of the interest”, but a deal could be hampered by the fact that Chelsea have apparently “given up paying big salaries.” “. Newcastle And Liverpool are potential rivals for the centre-back, whose contract runs until the end of next season, and Chelsea could end up bringing in another Palace defender in the form of Trevoh Chalobahwho has the advantage of already being their player, canceling the remainder of his loan at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea midfielder Cesar Casadei could be set to leave the club, meanwhile, with Turin keen to repatriate the 21-year-old. Italian newspaper Tuttosport reports that Il Toro have already signed a Premier League player, after reaching an agreement with Everton over a contract for Beto.
