GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
Borussia Dortmund insist that he has no challenge with Jadon Sancho to the UK’s advance of the self-imposed move-in deadline with Manchester United.
The Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team is going to sign a 110 million pound contract for the England international.
The German finalist, Dortmund, insists that United will have to close the deal until 10 August, when his players are expected to return for pre-season training.
Sancho, 20, sparked rumours a deal is imminent as he returned to his homeland, and was spotted at a party hosted by rap stars Krept and Konan on Saturday.
However, it is understood that it has not yet been achieved.
And Dortmund’s head of communications, Sascha Fligge, said there is no challenge with Sancho’s return to England as long as he presents himself for education as usual.
Fligge said: “It is not unusual and smart for players to move from home before education camp if they are risky.
“The same thing happens to Jadon [Sancho].
“From our point of view, the pictures that have been shown to us so far do not violate.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool is final on the left-back signing of Olympiakos Kostas Tsimikas, according to reports.
Leicester connected with Tsimikas before this week as they were looking for a replacement for Chelsea target Ben Chilwell.
However, Liverpool is believed to have won the race for the Greek defence and will make it their first signing of the in a deal of 11.75 million pounds.
Goal reports that the 24-year-old is expected to complete his medical exam at Anfield early next week with an official announcement to be made in a while later.
ROBIN OF THE POOR
Exclusive through Alan Nixon: Sheffield United is for Wigan’s American star Antonee Robinson as part of a 1.5 million pound deal.
Chris Wilder’s Blades have passed West Brom and are hoping to seal the movement in the next few hours.
Former AC target Milos angelesn Robinson can leave the Latics angels after relegation to Ligue 1 for the same value they paid Everton for it.
The newly promoted Baggies have tried to close the deal in recent weeks, however, the possibility of signing up for their more established Premier League rivals Blades has replaced the game.
It’s huge for American left-back Robinson, who never made it to the Prem at Goodison Park.
Robinson is also about to succeed in Milan earlier this year until a challenge was detected with an abnormal heartbeat.
PAUL IN
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Paul Pogba will sign a new contract at Manchester United.
Pogba’s existing agreement at Old Trafford expires next summer, however, SunSport reported last month that it was close to accepting some other five-year extension.
Speaking about the Europa League quarter-final match with Copenhagen, United manager Solskjaer hinted that Pogba’s long run is in Manchester.
“Since he returned from injury, it has been a pleasure,” Solskjaer said.
“He’s worked very hard, he’s satisfied and he’s playing well.
“We’ll see Paul in the next two seasons, I’m sure.
“And I can’t wait to see him grow up with this team.
“He will have to be one of the leaders, one of the great figures, because he is achieving his best moment as a footballer at 27.
“I’m looking ahead to run with him.”
JEEPERS KEEPERS
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned that Manchester United will not enter next season with David de Gea’s 3rd, Sergio Romero and Dean Henderson.
He said: “The put festival is good. We have Sergio, David and Dean there with David supporting them.
“It’s going to be hard to stay 3 at the club. So let’s see what the resolution is.
BUY EXCHANGE
Barcelona are interested in signing Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva, according to reports.
The Portuguese midfielder has only 23 Premier League games for City this season as he struggled to regain the form that the 2018-19 player of the year earned him.
Barca hopes to take credit for Silva’s stage and may come with right-back Nelson Semedo in a money-changing agreement for more players.
The Telegraph says the League giants hope to tempt the 25-year-old with a new one after three seasons at Etihad.
However, Barca’s limited budget after the coronavirus means that he has prioritized industry agreements this summer and hopes to verify that of the City by providing Semedo in a partial exchange.
Semedo, 26, has been on the City’s radar for some time and is one of the names that the Blaugrana are going to move into the motion window.
HAV SOME OF THAT
Chelsea has signed a long-term contract with Kai Havertz.
RMC Sport says the Blues have agreed to a payment with Bayer Leverkusen for the German transfer.
However, the report adds that Havertz agreed to signal an agreement that will keep him connected to Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
THE DEVIL CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF
Borussia Dortmund have moved to quell rumors that Jadon Sancho is about to move to Manchester United after being in the UK.
The Bundesliga team will travel to Switzerland next week for a pre-season education camp and the club’s media and communications director said it was normal for the English star to return home.
Sascha Fligge said: “It’s common and fine for players to go home before a training camp if they’re not risky.
“The same goes for Jadon [Sancho]. From our point of view, the photographs they have shown us do not violate that way.”
KOST CUP
Liverpool is the last to be signed by Olympiakos left-back Kostas Tsimikas, reportedly.
Leicester connected with Tsimikas before this week as they were looking for a replacement for Chelsea target Ben Chilwell.
However, Liverpool is believed to have won the race for the Greek defence and will make it their first signing of the in a deal of 11.75 million pounds.
Goal reports that the 24-year-old is expected to complete his medical exam at Anfield early next week with an official announcement to be made in a while later.
The Reds looked for a canopy on the left side for starter Andy Robertson, with midfielder James Milner forced to upgrade the captain of Scotland.

“That is the only way I will stay at Arsenal.

TA TA TAHITH
Tahith Chong may head to the Bundesliga with Manchester United in a position to let the winger sign for Werder Bremen on loan.
Chong reportedly, 20, held talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday after appearing in United’s Europa League against LASK.
The Dutch-born winger scored 25 minutes as a replacement in United’s 2–1 win over the Austrian club on Thursday.
And the Dutch under-21 international, who has played nine Europa and Premier league appearances, needs more minutes to his credit.
According to the Daily Mail, Bremen is ahead of signing a two-year loan deal to Chong.
However, the loan rates and salary would still be finalized.
Werder’s sporting director Frank Baumann said: “If we’re in reverse, that’s the case. We’re under discussion.
“There are several parties involved. There are still things that want to be clarified and we have to agree. For now, that’s the case.”
Unexpectedly
Chelsea must have made a 20 million pound move to reach Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old England star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer following the £41m arrival of ex-Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, the former Everton boy has emerged from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
But they are expected to face a festival for the Stones by his former boss David Moyes at West Ham.
Arsenal – managed by ex-City assistant Arteta – are also interested but the London club will have to sell before they can buy.
SUMMER PARTY
Thomas Partey pped the main goal of Arsenal’s move, but Atletico Madrid would maintain his forty-five million pound clause.
Kike Marin claims that the Gunners had tried the value required through Spanish by proposing an exchange agreement between Lucas Torreira, Héctor Bellerin or Alexandre Lacazette.
However, the report adds that Atletico rejected the talks and insisted that its clause be completely activated.
Mikel Arteta has been desperately down metal in midfield this summer.
Earlier this year, he met Partey as his number one target after a sensational season in Spain.
The Ghanaian has a contract at Wanda Metropolitano until the end of the 2022–23 season.
WHITE NOISE
Brighton needs to lose the much-needed Ben White, but he’s happy to let Shane Duffy go.
Albion turned down an offer to be by Leeds prodigy White, for whom he has shined on loan this season.
Several major clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool, are following their progress.
But Graham Potter plans to start with White next season and has maintained that he didn’t need to see the 22-year-old leave.
Duffy, 28, is about to move forward with the talks between the Seagulls and West Brom about a conceivable transfer.
The Irishman was Chris Hughton’s Last Season’s Brighton player, but was not paid through Potter.
And with SIX central defenders lately at the club after the arrival of Dutchman Joel Veltman, the Seagulls are in a position to sell Duffy.
WITH IT’S TURNED ON
Leeds will bring Chelsea conor Gallagher to his next Premier League term.
And they may simply rejoice in the Blues as they watch to advance some players to bring money to boss Frank Lampard to reorganize his team.

He also inspired Swansea, in the semi-finals of the championship play-offs
He is expected to talk to Chelsea this week about the loan or permanent transfer.
A lot of Premier League and Championship chase it.
SUITE WILLIAN
Willian added: “There was also criticism, which is normal, what is important though is that both the affection and criticism drove me to always give my all in every training session, every game, to be constantly improving until my very last minute in a Chelsea shirt!
“The time has come to move on. I’m going to miss my teammates.
“All the club staff who have treated me like a son will miss me and I will miss the hobby.
“I’m in 15th place, knowing that I’ve won things here and that I’ve done my best productivity in a Chelsea shirt.
“My heartfelt thanks go out to all of you and God bless you!”
I’ll do it sometime.
Willian showed his departure from Chelsea in a moving open letter.
The 32-year-old Brazilian spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge without being able to settle for a contract extension.
In a post he posted on social media, he said, “It’s been seven glorious years. In August 2013, when I won Chelsea’s offer, I was convinced that this was where I deserve to play.
“Today I am certain that it was the best of decisions. There were so many happy times, some sad, there were trophies and it was always very intense.
“Yet, beyond the trophies, I learnt a lot about myself. I developed a great deal, becoming a better player and a better person.
“With each training session, with each game, with every minute spent in the dressing room, I was always learning.
“I am really grateful to the Chelsea fans for the affectionate way they welcomed me at Stamford Bridge and their support throughout my time at the club.”
WIZARD OF OZ
Arsenal would make an effort to secure an agreement with Mesut Ozil to pay the German this summer.
With only one year remaining at Ozil in the Emirates, and the 350,000-euro player consistent with the week is not on Mikel Arteta’s plans, the Mirror said the Gunners were in a position to make a special offer to the player.
They claim they are looking to pay him off, while they are also willing to subsidise his wages if he moves to another club.
Arsenal need to free up money in order to bring in their targets.
MAD MOVE?
Arsenal will sell Alexandre Lacazette to Atletico Madrid for 30 million pounds if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signs a new contract, he reports.
The Gunners have faced a war to keep up with any of the forwards, but they may be about to waste their number 9.
And according to The Star, Lacazette is ready to sign up on Diego Simeone’s side, but the deal depends on Aubameyang’s future.
The 31-year-old Arsenal captain is out of contract next year and in negotiations to signal an extension.
Its new proposal is planned for 3 years, pocketing 250,000 euros consistent with the week.
But as Mikel Arteta looks at his team, Lacazette can be sold to raise important funds.
LIL ANGEL
Lille has signed Angel Gomes to Manchester United.
The English teenager has been loaned to Portuguese Boavista.
Gomes quit Old Trafford after 14 years at the club, but he made just six Premier League appearances during that time.
The 19-year-old left Old Trafford a month after talks on a new contract failed.
Lille moved temporarily after promoting Victor Omishen to Naples for 60 million pounds.
But they expect you to have game time in Portugal before being part of your plans for the first team.
CRIS TO PARIS?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent is expected to face Paris Saint-Germain for a possible unexpected transfer, according to sensational reports in France.
Despite the impact of coronavirus, the French giants are thought to be desperate to strengthen across the pitch.

Mendes, who represents the PSG target, James Rodriguez, of course would be willing to come to an agreement.
And Le10 Sport believes the duo is in talks to talk about a massive movement by five-time Juventus winner Ballon d’Or.
The report adds that they will take credit for the Champions League festival in Lisbon to meet Ronaldo on the agenda.
WHITE HEAT
Chelsea will see Liverpool in their quest for Brighton Ben White defence, and will abandon Antonio Rudiger in the process.
Leeds United has already had two offers rejected by the player who was successful on loan at Elland Road last season.
Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa had converted him into a defensive midfielder but he is comfortable there or at centre-back.
Reds chief Jurgen Klopp sought out the 22-year-old to replace Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip after wasting Dejan Lovren this summer.
But Blues boss Frank Lampard desperately needs defensive reinforcements and will spend over the 20 million pounds that Anfield’s grain counters will pay at auction.
NIC HIM FOR CHEAP
Manchester City is in a position to lower the value of Nicolas Otamendi’s demand after the signing of 41 million pounds from defence Nathan Ake.
Naples had been valued at 15 million pounds by Otamendi, 32, who had two years left on a contract.
But the arrival of Dutch foreigner Ake, 25, from Bournemouth, the city chief, Pep Guardiola, is now covered for left-wing power stations.
Etihad’s resources say they can sell for around 8 million pounds.
Valencia is also interested in the Argentinian, who sold to City for 31.7 million pounds years ago.
The Spanish club can also pay 100,000 euros according to the week.
BYE BLUES
Pedro showed his departure from Chelsea in an emotional farewell on Instagram.
The 33-year-old spent five years at Stamford Bridge, 206 times and won three primary awards.
With his contract expiring at the end of the Blues season last night at the hands of Bayern Munich, he will now sign with Roma on a loose transfer.
Peter wrote: “After five glorious years, my internship at Chelsea FC is ending.
“Thank you very much to the club’s board of directors, to the coaches and teammates I had, and of course to the fans: thank you for the joy of being part of your great family.
“I am very satisfied here, you have made me feel at home. It is a thrill and an honor to play in this club and win the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League, as well as participate in one of the most productive football league matches in the world.
“I made the right decision, I bring glorious and unforgettable memories. I say goodbye very satisfied with this level of my career, and I am also very excited that the next one will begin. Thank you and luck for the future. Go Blues !!! »
