The Premier League transfer window continues to be surrounded by lots of speculation and rumours as each club aims to bring in their top targets. Today’s Premier League transfer roundup includes an update on the future of Spurs’ Christian Eriksen, an offer from Manchester City for Kalidou Koulibaly and Juan Mata’s future at Old Trafford.
Real to make Eriksen bid
Eriksen clearly has little interest in staying in North London this summer, and Real Madrid would be amongst his top choices for a switch if his recent comments are anything to go by. And it seems the La Liga club would like to add him to their growing list of incoming stars. According to the Sun, Los Merengues are preparing to offer £45m plus Dani Ceballos in exchange for the attacking midfielder. Ceballos is currently playing at the U21 European Championships and scored Spain’s only goal as they lost 3-1 to Italy last week. Ceballos has told manager Zinedine Zidane he wants to leave the Bernabeu this summer, which is why he will be included in the offer for Eriksen.
City bid for Koulibaly
Manchester City already have a star-studded squad. As such, you would be forgiven for believing that they wouldn’t need to do much business this summer. Pep Guardiola and co think otherwise, however. Gazzetta Dello Sport is reporting that the Citizens have bid €95m for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly. The Italian side have their eyes on James Rodriguez and Kostas Manolas, and so the sale of Koulibaly would give them the funds to target both.
Juan Mata signs new deal
Juan Mata looked set to leave Manchester United with his contract running out at the end of the month, but the Red Devils have confirmed that the Spaniard has signed on for another two years with the club, who have the option of a further year.
“It is a real honour to continue to represent this amazing club and our incredible fans. I am looking forward to working with Ole and his fantastic coaching staff; the vision that they have for the club is truly exciting and I am so happy that I will be a part of that,” he told the club’s official website.
