Arsenal were in search of a forward during the summer and Mariano Diaz was one of the names linked with the position before they settled for Pepe who has scored just three goals since his big money move to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal signed Pepe for a club-record fee of £72m and he’s yet to score from open play for his new team.

Mariano Diaz has been on the outskirts of Real Madrid for the majority of his time at the club since returning from French Ligue 1 side Lyon at the start of last season.

The likes of Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Rodrygo, Vinicius and many more are ahead of him in the pecking order as far as the Real Madrid attack is concerned.

Italian Serie A giants AS Roma have been told to pay £18m for Manchester United defender Chris Smalling if they want to sign the England international permanently.

Chris Smalling made just 17 appearances under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United last season and he became surplus to requirements at the club this summer following the acquisition of Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

Manchester United paid a world-record fee of £80m for a defender for Harry Maguire and his arrival prompted the exit of Chris Smalling to AS Roma.

In a recent interview with Football Italia, Chris Smalling confessed that he misses Manchester United before adding that he’s delighted with the start that he has made at his new club AS Roma.

North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a swoop for AS Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini as they plot to replace star player Christian Eriksen who’s expected to leave the club next year.

This is according to Italian media outlet CalcioMercato which claimed that Spurs see Lorenzo Pellegrini as the long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen if they can convince AS Roma to part with the Italian international.

Danish international playmaker Christian Eriksen will most likely leave Tottenham Hotspur in the New Year with less than one year remaining on his current deal with the North Londoners and there is little hope that the former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder will extend his contract beyond next summer when it expires.

He has to leave Manchester United after the club signed compatriot Harry Maguire from fellow Premier League outfit Leicester City to make him the most expensive defender ever ahead of Liverpool centre back Virgil Van Dijk.

Manchester United paid £80m for Harry Maguire who surpassed the £75m that Liverpool paid Southamption for Dutch international Van Dijk.

Manchester United are set to listen to offer from Roma over Chris Smalling’s services after their initial refusal to let go of the player on a permanent deal.

Smalling is in fine form for the Serie A side and the club are reportedly set to launch a permanent bid for his signature in the next transaction period.

It was earlier revealed that the Red Devils are unlikely to release him, but last week’s report via the Sun claimed that the Old Trafford outfits have placed a £17m price tag on his services.

The two San Siro outfits are said to be interested in the 29-year-old and they are more than willing to beat Roma in the race for his signature in the summer.

Though United are struggling for form at the back of the pitch, the decision to let go of the England international seems the best one as there is a need to offload some ineffective players in the team.

Marcos Rojo could equally be on his way out of the Theatre of Dreams before next season having failed to nail down a permanent spot in the team since the start of Solskjaer’s reign.

Premier League giants Manchester United and Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma have reached a gentleman agreement over England international Chris Smalling.

This is according to the report from the stables of football365 which claimed that AS Roma want to sign Chris Smalling on a permanent deal from Manchester United.

AS Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi has already opened discussion on the possibility of making his loan deal a permanent transfer according to popular Italian media portal Correire dello Sport.

It was also stated that Manchester United want around 15 to 20 million euros for Chris Smalling and that is a stumbling block for the deal’s progress.

Italian capital club AS Roma are ready to pay a transfer fee for Chris Smalling but they don’t want to pay the asking price from the Red Devils.

Chris Smalling became a Manchester United player in the summer of 2010 following his transfer from Fulham.

Manchester United loanee Chris Smalling will return to the Theatre of Dreams after his loan spell at Italian Serie A giants AS Roma.

Chris Smalling had to leave Manchester United in the summer after the Red Devils spent a world-record fee for Harry Maguire.

Manchester United spent 80 million pounds to sign Harry Maguire from fellow Premier League outfit Leicester City this summer.

Harry Maguire has been able to form a potent centre back partnership with Swedish international Victor Lindelof at the heart of the Manchester United defense.

The England international spent two years with the Foxes before leaving for the Theatre of Dreams.

On his part, Chris Smalling has been very impressive for AS Roma this season but recent reports that his loan deal will be made permanent are wide off the mark according to the aforementioned publication.

There have been reports that Roma are in talks with United over their chances of signing Chris Smalling on a permanent deal after his fine start to his loan spell at the club.

The England international joined the Serie A side on a loan deal prior to the start of the campaign and he has been doing fine for the team.

Unfortunately, Roma’s mission seems impossible as Sky Sports claimed that the Red Devils have turned down their bid because Solskjaer is keen on having the defender by the end of the season.

The highly regarded media outlet claimed that Solskjaer will happily welcome the centre-back back to his team at the end of the season, should he maintain his fine form through to the end of the campaign.

Chris Smalling’s experience could be one of the reasons why Solskjaer is willing to reunite with the player considering the fact that he is one of the longest-serving players at Old Trafford.

Nonetheless, the decision to retain the tall defender seems unnecessary considering the large pool of players available for selection.

Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Axel Tuanzebe, Marco Rojo, Eric Bailly – if fully fit – and Phil Jones are very much available, hence, retaining the Englishman isn’t needed.
