Welcome to your Friday digest of all the biggest and boldest Premier League transfer rumours that have caught our eye as they do the global media rounds over the last 24 hours – and we start the rounds today with the latest potential updates from Manchester United.
The Old Trafford club are, of course, doing their level best to find new clubs for big-money flops Antony, who set the club back a reported £86m when he arrived from Ajax, and Casemiro, who is being paid £350,000 per week while his performance levels come under fire following the dismal 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend – but according to HITC, United’s best-laid plans are not coming to fruition.They claim that the pair have both turned down the opportunity to go on loan to Galatasaray, who are currently in the process of hoovering up Europe’s unwanted talent due to their later deadline day. Apparently they are both “not keen” on leaving England “at this moment in time.” Both players, it seems, have made it clear that they want to stay, even if the club have made it pretty clear that they would rather they didn’t.
These were always going to be tough deals to get over the line. Galatasaray lack the clout to appeal to players at a club the size of Manchester United and lack the cash to make the finances easy to figure out, too. It looks more and more as though both players will hang about at Old Trafford until January, at least.
Man City line up double Bundesliga bid
News now from the other half of Manchester, with Spanish outlet Fichajes claiming that champions Manchester City have set an “ambitious” transfer plan in motion for next summer which will see them attempt a double swoop for Bayern Munich stars Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich.
Apparently Kimmich is seen as “the ideal replacement for Rodri,” although it’s not made very clear where Rodri would be that he might need replacing, but they do claim that Pep Guardiola wants to strengthen his midfield and add depth. No transfer fees are mentioned.
