Pogba Tells Team-mates He Wants To Leave Man Utd

 

Paul Pogba's summer exit from Manchester United is already "scheduled," according to L'Equipe. 

 

The report states that the midfielder has already told several team-mates of his desire to leave the club just three years after rejoining from Juventus. 

 

United's board will not stand in the way of Pogba's exit should a suitable offer arrive. 

 

Everton have made securing a permanent deal for on-loan defender Kurt Zouma a priority this summer, according to the Liverpool Echo.

 

However, parent club Chelsea's looming transfer ban would complicate any deal if the Blues' appeal is knocked back, as it would force some of their 'loan army' to be handed greater responsibility at Stamford Bridge.

 

Zouma is reportedly happy at Everton and has played his way into some form, but also harbours ambitions of succeeding at Chelsea. Despite that, at 24, regular game-time is his main focus.

 

Real Madrid are prepared to send Gareth Bale out on loan this summer, in the absence of concrete interest over a permanent deal for the winger, according to Marca.

 

Any interested club would have to pay the entirety of his salary and a loan fee - much like the deal that took James Rodriguez to Bayern Munich.

 

The forward, who will turn 30 this summer, has been jeered and whistled by the Bernabeu crowd and is not thought to be in Zinedine Zidane's long-term plans.

 

Several interested Premier League clubs have told Crystal Palace they must lower their £75 million ($97m) asking price for Wilfried Zaha, the Daily Star reports. 

 

Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in the Ivorian star, but are unwilling to meet his club's demands for a transfer. 

 

Zaha, 26, has a contract with Palace through 2023. 

 

Arsenal are set to reignite their interest in Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet and could bid £17 million ($22m/€20m) to secure his services, according to Corriere dello Sport.

 

The Gunners are searching for Juventus-bound Aaron Ramsey’s replacement, and Unai Emery has reportedly identified the Belgian as Lucas Torreira’s new midfield partner.

 

The duo previously played with each other at Sampdoria and Arsenal were interested in signing the 24-year-old last summer.
