Manchester United will become fearsome if they complete this £70m deal Mourinho wants to pair with Griezmann

According to The Sun, Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho is plotting a sensational £70m bid for AS Monaco star Bernardo Silva, who he believes could make a perfect partnership with Antoine Griezmann when the Frenchman joins Old Trafford side.

The 53-year-old Special One is a huge admirer of the 22-year-old Portugal international, although he faces serious competition to get his signature.
The former club of Jose Mourinho Real Madrid are also planning a move for the attacking midfielder, who is widely considered to be one of the hottest prospects across the Europe.

Bernardo Silva has already scored four goals and provided four assists in 17 Ligue 1 matches this term and Jose Mourinho is a major fan of his compatriot.
The Red Devils manager believes young Portuguese could provide the perfect link between Man United’s midfield and their new frontman Griezmann, who is set to join Premier League giants for £85m transfer fee.

Silva is represented by Jose Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes, which should help his cause in getting a deal over the line.

Alongside Griezmann and Silva, Man United have also been linked with a move for Bayern Munich attacking superstar, Thomas Muller.

Kyle Walker Talks about his Manchester United Link

Tottenham right back Kyle Walker has responded to transfer rumors linking him with a move away from White Hart Lane which make it seem unlikely that he will leave soon.

Reports have emerged that Manchester United and Manchester City are said to be interested in Walker and defensive partner Danny Rose. Jose Mourinho is yet to establish his first choice defence at Old Trafford and is set to be searching the market for a centre back and left back.

However 26-year-old Walker effectively ruled out a transfer anytime soon by indicating that he does not wish to play outside Spurs. During a live Q and A session with Spurs fans on Instagram when asked about being valued at £60 million, Walker responded, “Tottenham till I die”.

With Walker currently displaying good form, this news will be well received by Tottenham fans. Unless Walker has a massive slump in form, he is thus likely to stay for years to come.

Chelsea transfer round up involving Costa,Shaw,Morata,Lukaku,Ricardo Rodriguez and Benteke

Antonio Conte eyes shock move for Crystal Palace £32m signing

According to The Guardian, Chelsea are lining up a move for Crystal Palace centre-forward Christian Benteke, with Diego Costa is expected to leave the London-based club in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old star was involved in a training ground bust-up with the manager Antonio Conte last week and was left out of Chelsea squad for 3-0 Leicester City win at the King Power Stadium.

It is believed the row was over an eye-watering offer the Spain international had received from Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian but the former Atletico Madrid striker was spotted back in training at Cobham in midweek.

However, with the Spaniard is still expected to leave the Stamford Bridge in the summer, the board are eyeing potential replacements and a surprise name is being considered.

The same sources claim Crystal Palace forward Benteke, 26, is on Chelsea’s shortlist in case Diego Costa moves on at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte remains keen on Christian Benteke despite the Belgian’s underwhelming campaign with Liverpool, where he only managed 10 goals in 42 matches.

Alongside Benteke, other top-class strikers are also under Antonio Conte’s radar, including Alvaro Morata, Romelu Lukaku and Fernando Llorente.

Man United’s £30m signing on Chelsea radar

According to the latest transfer news, Antonio Conte is willing to sign Manchester United full-back Luke shaw, as Chelsea officials are reportedly keeping close tabs on Englishman’s situation at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old Shaw has made 41 apps for Man United since becoming the most expensive teenager in the world when he signed for a fee of £30m back in 2014.

The England international has only made seven Premier League apps for the Red Devils this season and it’s believed Jose Mourinho has grown tired of his lack of progress.

As per the Independent, Premier League duo Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are circling, with the future of young full-back at Old Trafford appearing in serious doubt.

Jose Mourinho was interested in signing the Englishman back in 2014, when he was in charge of Chelsea, but he’s not been impressed with the former Southampton man since taking over the reins at Man United in the summer

Antonio Conte’s side have been linked with a number of full-backs during the January transfer window as the Italian head coach scours the market for defensive reinforcements.

It is believed that West Ham United wide-man Michail Antonio and Koln’s Jonas Hector are also on Chelsea’s radar.

Diego Costa reveals the salary he wants to earn at Chelsea

According to the Metro, Chelsea rebel superstar Diego Costa has told the club officials to pay him £300,000-a-week if they want to keep him at the west London club.

The 28-year-old striker has returned to training after being left out of the squad for the Leicester City clash and is set to start against Hull City this weekend.

The Spain international fell out with Antonio Conte after receiving a mega offer from Chinese Super League but he has now come to a truce with his manager.

As per The Sun, Diego Costa only agreed to a return to the side on the condition that contract negotiations reopened.

After the contract talks will be resumed, the Spaniard will demand £300,000-a-week salary, double what he currently works, if he is to extend his stay.

The Blues are reluctant to offer the former Atletico Madrid star that much and are thought to be more likely to hand him a new five-year deal worth £225,000-a-week.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are considering a £21m move for Wolfsburg full-back Ricardo Rodriguez, who has been on radar of several European top clubs.

The 24-year-old Switzerland international has been closely monitored by Arsenal for some time with Arsene Wenger desperate to strengthen his left-back options.

However, the reports from The Sun claim that Antonio Conte’s side have put the wheels in motion to try and pip the Gunners to his signature.

MAN UNITED CLOSING IN ON £24M JANUARY DEAL

Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United reign received another welcome boost last night as our United supporting punters watched their side beat Crystal Palace. 

The self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ has failed to wholly convince since being handed the reigns at Old Trafford, despite a huge summer of change.

With so much deadwood picked up during the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, reports from the Daily Telegraph have excited our drinkers.

They claim Morgan Schneiderlin’s unhappy stay at the Theatre of Dreams is set to come to an end as he closes in on a £24m move to Everton.

Despite being one of the most highly-rated defensive midfielders in the Premier League during his stint with Toffees chief Ronald Koeman at Southampton, the Frenchman has struggled since his move.

He’s yet to start a Premier League game under the Portuguese and the Merseyside outfit are understood to be willing to meet his £120k-per-week wage demands.

Our resident Everton fans are simply delighted about the 27-year-old’s seemingly imminent capture, despite his struggles of late.

The Les Blues ace is believed to be viewed as a long-term replacement for Gareth Barry at Goodison and represents quite a coup for Koeman.
