  • Kylian Mbappe

    Manchester City are said to be plotting a world-record £200million raid for Kylian Mbappe in January. The Sun reports that the move would beat the fee that Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona for Neymar in 2017 and Pep Guardiola believes the 19-year-old can take the club to Champions League glory.

    The Frenchman has also been linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

    Jose Mourinho’s future at Manchester United continues to be the topic of speculation following the team’s poor start to the season. According to The Sun, the under-fire manager is resigned to his fate and is convinced club officials have sounded out former Real boss Zinedine Zidane to replace him.

    The Daily Mirror reports that Mourinho’s precarious position has left 12 players unsure of their futures, with the likes of David De Gea, Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw all in the final year of their deals.

    Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez’s future at United is also said to be in serious doubt. The Mirror reports that the 29-year-old forward was stunned after he failed to even make the bench for the disastrous defeat at West Ham, and there is a feeling he regrets his move to Old Trafford in January.

    Liverpool will lead the chase for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, the Mirror says. The paper claims Jurgen Klopp attempted to sign the 27-year-old during the last transfer window and will return to try again. The Welshman has also been linked with Juventus and AC Milan.

    Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden will be kept waiting before being offered a new five-year contract, the Daily Star reports. Etihad bosses are willing to draw up new terms believed to be worth £25,000 per week, the paper says, but want to keep the 18-year-old’s feet firmly on the ground and are in no rush to sign off on the deal.
