Never in a million years could‘ve imagined Real Madrid missing out on both Haaland AND Mbappe when one is available for free and the other for peanuts.

Florentino must be in full blown meltdown. Wonder who they’ll target now to appease their supporters.

Pogba is free they could make a move for him now. They can pay him Mbappe's wages can win more at Real.

If Mbappe stays at PSG this late in the day then has to be some serious incentives involved.

Tottenham are ‘ready to pounce’ on Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni and make a ‘major bid’ to secure him this summer.

That’s according to Corriere Dello Sport, who say Antonio Conte has put his former Inter star at the top of his wishlist as he plans for a big summer transfer window rebuild at Spurs.

Bastoni was very much a key player for Conte during his time with the Italian club, with the coach pushing him into prominence and urging the club to sign him permanently in 2019.

He’s a big fan of the defender and is now ‘waiting for him in London’, with it believed that he will ‘order’ Fabio Paratici to make a move once Champions League football is secured.

Should Tottenham make a move, they will have to pay big to get their man, though, with Bastoni valued at €60-70m.

That’s a big price to pay, but Spurs paid €50m for Cristian Romero last year, and Inter will use that as a benchmark for this deal, adding money on for Bastoni being a year younger and, crucially, left-footed.

The Manchester United owned man struggled with poor form and fitness, managing a goal and an assist from 12 matches in all competitions. His only goal came in the Europa League win over Dinamo Zagreb.

Estadio Deportivo explain the 26-year-old cannot say goodbye to Sevilla fans on Sunday as he is recovering a ‘physical discomfort’. The Manchester United forward is ‘totally ruled out’ for the last clash of the season against Athletic Bilbao.

With Martial already playing his last game for the Spanish club, the outlet takes a look at his ‘disastrous’ spell with Los Nervionenses. It’s claimed the France international ‘arrived and from the beginning he enjoyed privileges’.

A lack of minutes at Manchester United didn’t help the attacker to quickly adapt in Spain. At the same time, fans were disappointed to see him not start matches, ‘despite the fact that his performance was far beyond simply disappointing’.

ED state Martial not being able to say goodbye to Sevilla fans is ‘better’ because if he does, then ‘it will be with the banner of one of the biggest fiascoes in the La Liga winter market’. The outlet further adds the result of his signing has been so ‘disheartening’ due to his poor performances.

Martial will return to Old Trafford and must wait to find out whether he will be included in the Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United plans.

Yeah, a nice, fat offshore account set up by the PSG owner with hundreds of millions of € in it.

Atalanta chief Lee Congerton has Leeds United’s Daniel James in his ‘notebook’ for the summer, according to Calcio Atalanta.

Congerton arrived in Italy following his experience in the UK with Celtic and Leicester City. He has eyes on several Premier League profiles and the list includes the Whites winger.

Leeds United are 18th in the table, level on points with 17th placed Burnley, and their survival in the Premier League will depend on final day results.

The situation at Elland Road could ‘favour’ La Dea in a ‘possible negotiation’ to sign the Wales international as the price tag would be ‘low’ if they are relegated from the top division.

We'd have way more suitors for Dalot at £20m than AWB at £25m.
Ha, no.
We tried to desperately offload Dalot last year and there were zero takers, especially after some fans on the Caf deluded themselves that he had a decent time of it in Milan and his rep was on upward trajectory.

Now, AWB is not good enough for where we'd like to go but I can see how he'd interest a certain type of team that plays a particular brand of football. But Dalot has no redeeming quality as a footballer. He's not even average. He's just fecking bad.

Nope. We had lots of interest in Dalot from all over Europe, but none to the extent of paying the sort of delusional transfer fee the club wanted. But if we put both players up for sale at £15-20m right now Dalot would obviously get far, far more interest.

The only club who so far have shown any interest in AWB are Palace, and I doubt they'd even consider spending £15m to bring him back. Only way we get rid of AWB this summer is on a loan deal.

We priced Dalot at €20m last summer and there was no interest.

You have no clue what we priced him last summer. Given the totally delusional fees the club have set for fringe players over the last 5-10 years, there's zero chance we'd have priced Dalot at £15m, a 22 year old who'd just been a regular starter while on loan for Milan in a season where they finished 2nd.

We only sold James for £25m, and wouldn't have let Lingard go to West Ham for less than that. Even though they were fringe players who barely got a start all season prior.

I love it. No giving chances to players for the feck of it when there’s existing data and proof to say they probably shouldn’t. Welcome to the era of data analysis, United.

I wonder if this is a ETH thing or a Murtough thing. I get this picture in my head that Woodward probably made previous managers keep giving chances to players those managers probably didn’t fancy, especially when the idiot was renewing Phil Jones on new shiny deals.

I get the feeling as Woodward was main contact that he’d probably say ‘I dunno how good they are on the pitch, but they’ve got marketability!’ when LVG and Jose came in, resulting in those two having to find out for themselves.
