It's usually Simon Stone but even he said yesterday that the transfer looks likely.

Done Dealio tomorrow probably or a bit too soon?
Marca is Madrid’s official mouthpiece, yes?
Welcome to Manchester, Raphael.
No, it's one of their unofficial mouthpiece.
There were plenty mate, though ivaldo taking the piss was starting to annoy me too though it was funnyWere there serious ones? I assumed they were all piss-takes and 90% were @ivaldo
End of the week according to sources. Most likely case is that it will be radio-silence until Thursday when there'll be a Bouhafsi tweet followed by a Romano tweet to explain things are close.
Yayyy! Hopefully gets done soon.
It does make sense for RM to accept our offer instead of keeping him for 1 more year and losing him for free.
In their current financial situation money is more important than a slightly higher chance to win a trophy with Varane - they have already won 1 million trophies in the last few years.

Simon Stone " Though United are interested in the French International defender they've still yet to talk to the Spanish giants "
Probably.
Probably.
I’m gonna watch his Amazon documentary on repeat until he arrives
This transfer has a bit of a Robin van Persie feeling to it in terms of the profile of the player at the time of signing, and the impact it could make. Hopefully it gets done and he can forge a really solid back three with Maguire and whoever ends up as first-choice goalkeeper. That’s the foundation of any title-winning side.
Just need to figure out how to make the paperwork arrive on time via Fax.
Will be on the bench against Everton.
It's all bloody kicking off today 
Whilst here have been tentative talks between the two clubs, a deal is miles away from being agreed and will probably not be announced till at least 22:59pm on deadline day
Most likely
I did not expect there to be any news on this on a Sunday but I'll take it
Yep, agreed. The guy is class and would look at home in pretty much any team. If we can get this over the line we’ve done very well.
Yep, already trying to save face pretending they got their initial price demand.
In a few weeks Perez will give an interview where he reveals that he initially asked for 15m but Manchester United kept offering more until he had to save them and reluctantly accept 50m.
Excellent news. Glad neither side seems to be fecking around & hopefully it’ll get done in the next couple of days.
C’mon Utd, prove me wrong!
Followed by 4 weeks of minor paperwork issues
I will be over the moon with this suggested price mate.
Let’s see what the agreed figure comes out at, I’ll be happy as long as he’s in a United kit at the start of the season
Huge red flags
Very ambiguous post
I am very impatient, is it too much to ask for this deal to be concluded by Tuesday/Wednesday or at least an announcement of deal agreed principally and then we can take another 2 to 3 days for medicals and paper work signing etc so like Sancho Friday or Saturday signing complete.
This looks like a done deal at this point, what a summer so far from United. Very exciting times ahead.
Flying high
Is he any good?
Certainly is, straight from the horses mouth
If we sign him you’ve got to think does a 6ft 3 pacey, composed, aerially dominant ball playing CB who has won 4 Champions leagues, 1 World Cup and 3 La Liga titles really improve us that much?
Who?
Finished at the top level
No, he had a poor game against City a few years ago.
One a month is pretty good. Now to clinch one more in August plus recoup some from sales.
That’s a def my window
Too late.
PURGE THE NON BELIEVERS
That would be a good one for the Purge franchise
Interesting Real Madrid letting their 2 centre backs leave in one Summer.
