Pogba to Barca for £100m; MU will own Maguire in the next 48 hours?

Sky SportsManchester United are reportedly preparing to make an offer to Leicester City for centre-back Harry Maguire.

However, the "Red Devils" will likely have to pay a world record fee for a central defender to convince the "Foxes". The record is currently held by Virgil Van Dijk when he joined Liverpool from Southampton for £75 million in the winter transfer market earlier this year.

Many newspapers in the UK have confirmed that Manchester United will finalize a "blockbuster" in the next 24 hours. This new recruit will be a central defender. In the first round of the 2018/19 Premier League, Man Utd will face Leicester City. Coach Mourinho hopes that this deal will be completed before the summer transfer window officially closes on August 10.

Joining Leicester from Hull City in the summer transfer window of 2017, Harry Maguire quickly adapted and became a mainstay in the "Foxes" defense. The center-back born in 1993 did not miss a single match in the Premier League last season and contributed 2 goals.

MU continuously receives good news from Toby Alderweireld, Willian, Perisic

Mourinho can achieve his wish for 2 contracts in the final days, when the negotiation with Toby Alderweireld is favorable as well as good news from Willian and Perisic.

The British press confirmed that Tottenham midfielder Toby Alderweireld will officially belong to the Red Devils in the coming hours, after he insisted on going to MU. The transfer fee is said to be 60 million pounds.

Meanwhile, Martial, despite training with MU on Friday, did not go with MU to Germany to play a friendly against Bayern Munich. The reason is said to be because he was part of the swap plan between the Red Devils and Chelsea, in which Willian arrived and the French star moved to play at Stamford Bridge.

And there is another good news, Ivan Perisic, the player that Mourinho admired and wanted since last summer but MU refused to pay 50 million pounds as Inter demanded, officially opened the door to Old Trafford, when he admitted that he wanted to play in the Premier League, "in a top league, for a top club".

Pogba to Barca for £100m

The Star newspaper reported that Paul Pogla's representative - big agent Mino Raiola had a meeting with MU leaders on Sunday to negotiate for his client to join Barcelona.

According to this source, Raiola guarantees to bring the Red Devils 100 million pounds, if the Old Trafford team agrees to let Paul Pogba play at Nou Camp.

The bad relationship between Pogba and Mourinho has always been a question mark and a concern for MU. The fact that the French midfielder became a world champion, after the great success of the 2018 World Cup, does not seem to help the two sides solve the problem.

Not only that, information from the British press also said that Mourinho was very angry because Paul Pogba threw a big party in the US, even dragging Fellaini to join, while other players like Rashford and Lukaku even cut short their vacations to return early with MU, preparing for the new season.

Mourinho is said to be ready to see off this stubborn student, but on the condition that he finds a replacement.

Everton are about to have Mina after MU gave up

Everton have agreed to pay £28.4m to sign centre-back Yerry Mina from Barcelona after Manchester United showed signs of hesitation in the deal.

Previously, Yerry Mina was said to be very close to MU after it was reported that the team's representative was present in Barcelona to discuss the Colombian midfielder's future.

However, in the end, Mina is likely to belong to Everton after this team was more decisive than MU. Specifically, Everton agreed to spend 28.4 million pounds to get Mina's signature.

The above figure is enough to convince Barca to let go of the player because in January 2018, they only spent more than 10 million pounds to buy Mina from Palmeiras. During his time with Barca, he only played 6 times but won 2 titles: La Liga and the King's Cup. However, at the 2018 World Cup, Mina played extremely well for the Colombian national team.

Sarri ready to let Courtois leave Chelsea

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has allowed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to leave to fulfil his dream of playing for Real Madrid. The transfer is likely to be completed this week.

Previously, Christophe Henrotay - Courtois' representative advised Chelsea to give in to Real: "I read in all the newspapers that Chelsea let Thibaut choose whether to stay or go. However, he has made it clear to the club that the best option is for him to go to Real."

Coach Maurizio Sarri himself is also willing to let Courtois leave before the English transfer window closes on August 9, as long as the goalkeeper expresses his wish to him in a face-to-face meeting today, August 6.
