In our latest daily update talk cock sessions, we look at the latest transfer news for Harry Kane, Manchester United, Édson Álvarez, Chelsea FC, and Romeo Lavia, gossip, and highlights that have football fans over the world buzzing with excitement.
Bayern Munich plan Tuesday’s meeting amid four Harry Kane options, after the final bid of €120M was rejected by Tottenham
Tottenham have rejected FC Bayern €120M package bid for Harry Kane, Daniel Levy said NO to the German club’s proposal.
Bayern Munich will hold a meeting on Tuesday to discuss whether they should continue to pursue Harry Kane this summer or look at other options.
The Bundesliga champions have four options available to them, all of which will be discussed over Tuesday. One is another bid, although it remains to be seen whether they would go high enough to match Levy’s demands.
The second is waiting until January, when they could well get Kane for a knock-down price, in a similar manner to Christian Eriksen’s exit from Internazionale in January 2020.
A third is negotiating a pre-contract once Bosman rules allow at that point.
A fourth, currently being mooted, is acting on a longstanding interest in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani.
West Ham has got their transfer target Édson Álvarez from Ajax at £35M transfer fee
Édson Álvarez to West Ham, don’t play play! A verbal agreement with Ajax for a total package of around £35m fee is confirmed!
Álvarez will fly to London in the next 24 hours to undergo medical tests and sign contracts.
Personal terms agreed as revealed on Saturday.
Manchester United wants two more signings this summer
Manchester United will prioritise Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and signing a centre-half if several sales go through.
Despite rejecting West Ham’s £60m double offer for Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, talks between the two clubs are expected to continue, while Everton are also monitoring Maguire.
With the possibility of further moves for Donny van de Beek and Fred – likely to Galatasaray – United would step up interest in Amrabat.
A fee would still have to be agreed with Fiorentina, though, and Ten Hag has been considering a move for Romeo Lavia should that deal fall through.
Pochettino wants four more signings this summer
Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is hoping for four more arrivals before the summer transfer window closes.
The Blues are expected to sign Leeds United’s Tyler Adams, with offers also being worked on for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, meanwhile, is eager for a move to Chelsea amid reports a fresh bid has been made for the midfielder.
Chelsea, of course, have to meet Brighton’s £105m valuation for Caicedo but Adams is a more straightforward release clause of around £20 million.
Palace has not been happy about Chelsea’s approach for Olise, who is also on City’s radar, but Palace wants Chelsea left-back Lewis Hall on loan. Brighton says they expect Caicedo to start their opening game.
Southampton stands firm and wants £50M for Romeo Lavia
Liverpool must meet Southampton’s £50m valuation for Romeo Lavia after a third offer totalling £45m was rejected.
Liverpool is expected to make a fourth bid, which should meet the demands of Southampton, who named Lavia on the bench for their opening Championship match against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
Lavia signed for Southampton from Manchester City for £10.5m last summer.
The Championship club are determined to hold out for £50m for the 19-year-old Belgium midfielder.
Lavia, also admired by Chelsea, is a key target for Liverpool as they continue to rebuild their midfield after the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia.
