The Telegraph on the Hammers’ refusal to comply with Brentford’s £ 20m winger’s valuation.
With defense noted as a more vital domain for David Moyes to improve, the deal is at a dead end.
Aston Villa are also excited but, likewise, may not feel like paying full value for the Algerian.
LUK OUT
Luka Modric says that Barcelona would have been if Lionel Messi had left.
The real Croatian star of Madrid compared to the past discussed the Argentine’s departure with the time Cristiano Ronaldo left Los Blancos for Juventus in 2018.
He told the AFP before Messi’s announcement: “It would be a huge loss, like when Christian left.
“But you can’t think of the past. It’s football and that’s it.
“If that happens, it will be a massive loss to the prestige of the league.But we have to move on. The other players will star.
“When Cristiano left, the same thing happened; The life of Real Madrid has followed him and it will be the same for Barcelona and the Messi League.
‘NEVER’
Lionel Messi has made it clear that he will never have filed a legal action against Barcelona.
The club appears to have won its war of words for its termination clause, which led Messi to accept that he had his 12-month contract.
And he told Goal: “There is some other way and what to go to trial.
“I would never go to the court opposite Barca, it is the club I love, which has given me everything since my arrival.
“This is the myArray club that I made my here.
“Barca gave me everything and I gave it my all.I know it crossed my mind to take Barca to court.”
MORE FROM MESSI
This is what Lionel Messi said about his move-in clause that has been subject to legal threats.
He told Goal, “It occurred to me and I was sure I was on the loose to leave, the president said that at the end of the season I could make the decision w.e. w.
“Now they cling to the fact that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for La Liga in the midst of this lousy coronavirus and that disease has replaced the whole season.
And that’s why I’m going to continue in the club.
“Now I’m still at the club because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 630 million pound clause, and that’s impossible.”
IT’S OFFICIAL.
Lionel Messi stays in Barcelona.
But he’s NOT happy.
The striker told Goal, “I wasn’t satisfied and I looked to leave.
“I have been allowed to do this in any case and will remain at the club to enter into a legal dispute.”
Control of the bar run by Bartomeu is a disaster.”
BOAT DELAY
Although we already knew the basics of Lionel Messi’s upcoming announcement, he was delayed.
Officially we will know the news at five in the afternoon.
Stay tuned…
Break
He stays, as they say in Spain … Messi stays!
The blue-rant striker told Goal that he will take to court with his club.
While Catalans say it’s their only lead right now, apart from a rival who contributes 630 million pounds, he’s holding out at Camp Nou.
DECISION MESSI ENTRY
We are expecting a public announcement on Lionel Messi’s long term anytime now.
Keep an eye on this place!
THE HOUSE OF ROME
Chris Smalling is ready to seal £18 million from Manchester United to Rome.
United were not easy for the defender, with 20 million pounds, but he would probably settle for the 18 million pounds plus bonuses, according to Sky Sports Italia.
The deal appeared to be going nowhere as the Italian company was only willing to shell out £ 15 million, which United declined.
Roma were willing to retain Smalling after her impressive one-year period at the club.
The 30-year-old revealed that he was devastated to leave Roma and was in a position to settle for a pay cut to get the deal done.
In a poignant post on his Instagram page, Smalling said: “I am discouraged that we did not finish what we started this season.”
Sincerely
Frank Lampard is about to continue his summer spending as he scores a new goalkeeper and defensive midfielder.
The Blues boss has already welcomed Hakim Ziyech, 27, Timo Werner, 24, Ben Chilwell, 23, Thiago Silva, 35 and Malang Sarr, 21, into his squad.
But he’s ready to boost his movement beyond $200 million while secureing a record contract with the club for 21-year-old Kai Havertz.
The game maker has left his German team in the League of Nations to complete the final stages of his 90 million pound play.
But according to The Telegraph, Lampard remains a goal scorer and defensive midfielder.
SunSport has revealed that Kepa Arrizabalaga under fire will fight for his position at Stamford Bridge, but that could not prevent the club from competing.
Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and West Ham’s Declan Rice are understood to be on Chelsea’s radar.
RED SERG
Man Utd would possibly have to settle for signing Sergio Reguilon on loan from Real Madrid despite a £ 27 million offer for him.
Despite the interest of Tottenham, Paris-Saint Germain, Napoli and Juventus, United would be the team that would have submitted an offer.
The offer of 27 million pounds was made this week, however, they can only get the star for 12 months initially.
Reguilon remains hired until 2023 and highly qualified by the leaders of the Bernabéu club after crossing the club’s quarry.
And while Zidane would possibly be pleased to sell to raise funds for the move, Madrid’s most sensible managers can also lend it only instead, Sport says.
The defender is in a position to spend another year at Sevilla and hopes that a replacement of the coach before the expiration of his contract can give him a long-term opportunity at Real Madrid.
UPDATE MESSI

“Bayern is my home and I am pleased to be there.”
Goodbye GEORG

Wijnaldum embarked on a project with Holland where he broke the silence for the first time about his future.
He said, “These are just rumors. I can’t say anything right now.
Wijnaldum, whom Barca sees as a replacement for Ivan Rakitic, even joked to the media after being asked if he could be a key star for Catalans.
He added: “I think you were going to ask me if it could be just a component of the Dutch team. If you ask me about ‘Orange’, I can answer.

Bournemouth in the past sold Nathan Ake to Manchester City for $41 million and Aaron Ramsdale to Sheffield United for $18.5 million.
Those outings have alleviated the desire to sell, however Wilson and his compatriot Josh King will likely continue with Ake and Ramsdale through the exit door in this movement window.
