Manchester United have had a bid rejected for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. According to Sky Sports, the offer was worth around £73 million, rising up to £91.3 million with add ons. Apparently, the German club value the player at £108 million and they’re not willing to lower their asking price. Initially, Dortmund claimed that they would only sell the player if there is an acceptable offer on the table by the 10th of August. That deadline has now passed and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to sell the winger so late in the window. Even if Dortmund receive their asking price, they will struggle to find a proper replacement for a world-class player like Jadon Sancho with just a few days left in the transfer window. Ideally, the German outfit should look to hold ...

Leeds have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid youngster Cesar Gelabert. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), Leeds and Arsenal have made efforts to sign the player but those approaches have been rebuffed. Real Madrid are not keen on selling the youngster this summer. The 19-year-old is highly rated in Spain and he has a big future ahead of himself. It is understandable why the Spanish giants want to hold on to him. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to loan the player out in the coming seasons. Gelabert needs to play regularly in order to continue his development and he is unlikely to get that opportunity at Real Madrid because of the number of established internationals at Zidane’s disposal. A move to Leeds or Arsenal could be beneficial for the player’s career...

Tottenham Hotspur are in the quarter-finals of the League Cup after seeing off Chelsea in the round of 16 this evening. The Blues took the lead through Timo Werner 19 minutes into the clash, and they were heading towards victory until Erik Lamela drew Spurs level with seven minutes left on the clock. Both sides couldn’t find the winning goal, and the clash went straight into penalties at the end of 90 minutes due to the new rules.

Spurs will now hope for a favourable draw on Thursday ahead of the last-eight fixtures, and they will be keen to secure a place in the group stages of the Europa League by winning Thursday’s play-off against Israeli Premier Lea...
Manchester United are working to finalise a move for Alex Telles before the window closes. According to Mohamed Bouhafsi, the Old Trafford outfit have now submitted a second bid for the 27-year-old left back. It will be interesting to see if Porto are willing to accept the offer. Telles would be a superb signing for Solskjaer this summer. He would add a new dimension to the United attack along with his defensive qualities. The Brazilian is a lot better than Shaw going forward. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers right now and a step up to the Premier League would be ideal. He could make an instant impact for Manchester United. Bouhafsi claims that Telles has agreed to join Manchester United and the two clubs are discussing the fee now. Manchester United will be hoping to wrap up t...
Tottenham are looking to sign a defender before the window closes and they have been linked with the likes of Skriniar and Rudiger recently. It appears that the Londoners are exploring other options as well. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), they have submitted a bid for the Roma defender Roger Ibanez but the offer has been turned down. The 21-year-old joined Roma on an 18-month loan deal from Atalanta. Roma have an option to sign the player permanently for €10m and therefore Spurs decided to offer them €25m so that the Italian side can sign Ibanez and then sell him for a hefty profit. It will be interesting to see if Spurs return with an improved offer for Ibanez in the coming days, especially if they fail to sign the likes of Skriniar. Ibanez would certainly be a cheaper...

Premier League club Aston Villa are reportedly facing competition from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic for Niclas Eliasson. French publication L’Equipe reported last week that Villa are interested in signing Eliasson from Bristol City in the summer transfer window. The report also credited French club Nimes with interest in the Swedish winger, who was described as a player who “can be very special in the Championship” by then City head coach Lee Johnson on the English club’s official website in August 2017. However, it seems that Villa will face competition from Celtic if they are to sign the 24-year-old, who is actually a very versatile attacking player and can play as an attacking midfielder, winger or left wing-back. According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are planning to make a move f...
