Premier League giants Manchester United have received a huge transfer blow in their pursuit of Paris Saint Germain (PSG) defender Thomas Meunier.

The Red Devils were said to be making headway in their quest to sign him this summer until his interview with reporters earlier this weekend.

Thomas Meunier talked about his future immediately after the league game with Dijon on Saturday evening as he revealed that he wants to stay at PSG beyond this summer.

The Belgian international was quick to point out that the decision to stay or leave the French capital club in the summer is not in his hands.

According to him, he will like to see out his contract at the club.

• Everyone Wants Man United Target – Tuchel

Meunier has one year left on his contract with PSG at the moment and the French Ligue 1 champions might sell him rather than risk losing him for free.

Manchester United are in desperate need of a new right-back ahead of next season and Meunier is one of their main targets for that position.

With one year left on his current deal with PSG, Manchester United will be able to get him for a moderate transfer fee.

He has won two league titles in his three-year spell at the club till date.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will reportedly have to submit a transfer request for his dream move to Spanish giants Real Madrid to see the light of the day.

This is according to widespread reports coming out of the British media.

Paul Pogba has previously talked up a dream move to Real Madrid but Manchester United are reluctant to sanction his sale.

According to the publication from The Sun, Pogba will have to force through a move to Real Madrid by submitting a transfer request.

The French World Cup winner has endured a topsy-turvy spell at Manchester United since his return to the club in a then world-record fee of around £89m in the summer of 2016.

The Manchester United Academy graduate had earlier left the club for Italian champions Juventus on a free transfer in 2012.

Pogba spent four years at Juventus where he won the league title in each of his seasons with the Old Lady and also reached the 2015 Champions League final before Juventus were beaten 3-1 in the final by Spanish champions Barcelona.

He has two years left on his current deal at the Theatre of Dreams but Manchester United reserve the right to activate an extra year clause to make it three years.

Europa League finalists Arsenal are most likely to miss out on Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha during this summer’s transfer window which opened some days ago.

This is according to widespread reports emanating from the media in the United Kingdom.

Wilfried Zaha has already told Crystal Palace about his desire to leave the club this summer in favour of a move to a Champions League playing team.

The Ivorian international attacker is ready to have a crack at a top club once again following his disappointing spell at Manchester United four years ago.

Zaha joined Manchester United in the summer of 2013, six months after his transfer was announced.

He was the last transfer conducted by Sir Alex Ferguson before his retirement in 2013 but the player didn’t have the best of times under David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal.

Zaha was loaned to Cardiff City and then former club Crystal Palace who he joined permanently in 2015.

He has been a key player for his boyhood club since his return to the club but it’s time to leave according to Zaha.

Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in the player and he has been slapped with an £80m transfer fee by Crystal Palace.

According to The Sun, Arsenal might miss out on the transfer with the Gunners willing to pay half of the price tag.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed that the French Ligue 1 giants have received three offers for one of their star players.

French international Tanguy Ndombele has been a key player for Lyon since joining the club three years ago.

The Lyon midfielder has been attracting the interest of clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Scouts from Liverpool and Manchester United were recently at a Lyon game to scout the player.

He was said to be one of three players scouted by five-time European champions, Liverpool.

• Done Deal!!! Chelsea, Real Madrid to seal deal not Hazard

Others scouted by the Reds include Dutch winger Memphis Depay and French midfielder Houssem Aouar.

Lyon president Aulas talked about Tanguy Ndombele and transfers in an interview with L’Equipe.

He confirmed the receipt of two offers before inviting a bid from PSG for one of his star players.

Jean-Michel Aulas had previously talked about not selling his players especially Ndombele to rivals PSG but it seems like the Lyon supremo has made a remarkable u-turn in his decision.

PSG are in need of a new midfielder to replace Adrien Rabiot who will leave the French giants this summer after the expiration of his contract.

Rabiot has not been a part of the PSG team for days after he was frozen out of the first team for his failure to sign a new deal at the club.

The Dutch outfit Ajax have proven to have great players especially after their outing in the last Champions League season that is yet to be concluded by two English Premier League sides, Liverpool and Tottenham.

Ajax were noted after eliminating two top European teams Juventus and Real Madrid. This has made a number of teams go after their star players and the Merseyside outfit are not left out.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is reported to be interested in bringing David Neres to the Anfield and he will do all it takes to land him in the summer transfer window.

• Liverpool finally reveal major summer transfer target

With manager Jurgen Klopp keen on David Neres, has already learned that he must cash out £45 million to be a belt to beat other teams from landing the star player in the coming summer transfer window.

Manager Jurgen Klopp had already hinted that fans should not expect big signings but he hopes to bring in quality additions that will make the team stronger and David Neres falls in that category.

However, the English Premier League outfit Man United have already indicated interest in the star player but they have been ruled out because of their inability to secure a qualification o the Champions League next season.

A Liverpool reporter Ian Doyle is of an opinion that manager Jurgen Klopp has a lot of issues to deal with ahead of the coming summer transfer window.

With the summer transfer window set to open on Thursday in England alone, manager Jurgen Klopp has had his attention on specific players as he also hopes to bring in new players just like other clubs.

It would be recalled that a total of £170 million was spent on bringing in new players like Brazilian international Alisson Becker, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.

• Deal On!!! This Sarri’s decision will anger the fans

Although, Jurgen Klopp has already noted that he will not be bringing in a lot of players while insisting that there might not be a big money buy but the question of what exactly to do remains an issue for the German boss according to the reporter.

Ian Doyle claims the Reds team may have not won the English Premier League title but it cannot be taken away from them that they have to a good team, especially after learning that they lost just a game in the course of the entire EPL season and won 98 points.

However, Ian Doyle stressed that the pressure will be on Jurgen Klopp over what to do and who to bring in because of the robust team he has gathered.

It is has been suggested by the English Premier League outfit Liverpool legend John Barnes that the team have already secured a new signing in the duo of England international Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez.

The two players are very important members of the manager Jurgen Klopp team but they were left out of the major part of the just-concluded season owing to various degrees of injuries.

The former Arsenal midfielder had a serious injury in last season’s Champions League and has since been out, only to return at the ending part of the season, yet he showed he has got a lot to offer.

Also, Joe Gomez started with a perfect partnership with Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk and they both ensured the Reds team conceded the least number of goals but he was made to leave out as a result of the injury he sustained.

However, the Liverpool legend has insisted that his former team have no reason to move out for new signings as he claims that the two players should be regarded as new signings because they have not been with the team on the pitch.

He observed that the fact that the major players would be staying at the club makes it a big one for manager Jurgen Klopp.

The emerging report claims that the Merseyside outfit Liverpool on the verge of sealing a deal with Sporting Lisbon star forward Andre Cardoso ahead of the coming summer transfer window.

The manager Jurgen Klopp side have got a big squad but they are still being linked with a number of quality players with suggestions that they will seek to strengthen in order to challenge for more titles next season.

Liverpool had missed out of the English Premier League this season with a slim difference as they finished a point behind Man City, a development they will seek to avoid in the coming season.

However, Andre Cardoso has been reported to be on his way out of the Portuguese outfit and could end up at the Anfield should an agreement be reached between both clubs.

Andre Cardoso’s exit from the Sporting Lisbon has been officially confirmed but it has not been mentioned where his destination would be despite the obvious interest from the Merseyside outfit.

Andre Cardoso has therefore been tipped to come in as a youth player and benefit from the experience of the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino but he could also be given the opportunity if he plays to deserve it.

The Merseyside outfit Liverpool have already opened talks for a new deal with Belgium international Divock Origi ahead of the coming season.

It was initially reported that Divock Origi would be leaving the club at the end of the season as a result of his lack of playing time but that seems to be changing at the moment with Liverpool impressed by his performance.

Divock Origi has been useful for the Jurgen Klopp team despite his lack of playing time as his brace against Spanish La Liga outfit will not be forgotten in a hurry which adds to the two important wins he got his team in the course of the season.

• Deal On!!! Liverpool winning as Barcelona give up star player

This has already improved the profile of the player and it has been considered that he should not be allowed to leave the club anytime soon.

However, the Reds team are now ready to pay Divock Origi more than the usual £60 million in his current contract to be able to convince him on a stay and as a way of rewarding him for a good job.

Meanwhile, the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he would keep his team together and will not need to move out for big signings, stressing that he is happy with his squad.

Aston Villa have concluded plans to secure the permanent transfer of defender Axel Tuanzebe this summer after he impressed throughout the course of this campaign, especially in the league.

Axel Tuanzebe is on a season-long loan deal at English Championship club Aston Villa from Premier League giants Manchester United.

He joined Villa on loan at the start of the season and he has been an instant hit at Villa Park.

According to the publication from the Daily Mirror, Aston Villa want to make his loan deal a permanent one alongside those of Tyrone Mings and Tammy Abraham.

• Tammy Abraham returning to Stamford Bridge?

Defender Mings is on loan from Premier League outfit Bournemouth and he has been in very good form this season.

For Tammy Abraham, the Chelsea loanee has almost single-handedly fired Villa to the top flight of English football after scoring 26 goals in the league.

Unlike Tuanzebe and Mings, Aston Villa might find it difficult for Villa to convince Chelsea to sell Tammy Abraham.

For now, Aston Villa have a Playoff final date with Derby County in nine days’ time to determine the third and final promoted team for the Premier League.

Norwich City and Sheffield United have already taken the first two spots automatically after they finished first and second respectively.
