French giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) officials have delivered a firm transfer verdict on striker Edinson Cavani who is a target for both Manchester United and Chelsea.

According to Goal via one of its publications, PSG sporting director Leonardo and club manager Thomas Tuchel see Edison Cavani as an important part of their squad and they don’t want him to leave the club this month despite the fact that the Uruguayan international player has six months remaining on his PSG contract at the moment.

Several clubs are ready to offer PSG some money for the final six months of the player’s contract but club officials prefer to lose his services this summer on a free transfer.

Edinson Cavani had been a regular in the PSG starting XI for several years until last summer when the French champions signed Mauro Icardi on loan from Inter Milan in the Italian Serie A.

Mauro Icardi has taken his spot in the first team aided by the injury to Edison Cavani at the start of the season.

Atletico Madrid are in pole position to sign Edison Cavani and have already offered €10m for him though it was turned down by PSG who says he is not for sale.

Chelsea might lose out to Premier League rivals Liverpool in the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner who has painted the German Bundesliga with goals this season.

This is according to German publication Bild which stated that Timo Werner prefers a move to Liverpool over Chelsea.

It was revealed that the German international wants a transfer to the Premier League this summer which is a plus to both Liverpool and Chelsea.

Timo Werner was initially linked with a January move to the Premier League only for him to confirm that he’ll be staying with RB Leipzig throughout this season.

The petite German attacker has been in red-hot form for RB Leipzig who are at the summit in the top flight of German football.

RB Leipzig have a four-point lead at the top of the German Bundesliga table after 18 games and Timo Werner has contributed immensely to that achievement.

Werner has scored 20 goals in the league this season which is more than any other player in the division and alongside Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski who also has 20 goals to his name.

In total, Timo Werner has scored 25 goals in 25 games for his club who are also in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Chelsea player Victor Moses is closing in on a move to Inter Milan whose manager Antonio Conte is eager to reunite with the former Super Eagles of Nigeria star.

Victor Moses is set for a medical at the San Siro club though Italian publication Corriere dello Sport stated that Inter Milan will have to convince Turkish giants Fenerbahce to cut short the player’s loan deal at the club.

The Chelsea loanee has been at Fenerbahce since last year January having joined them on an 18-month loan deal with the option of a permanent transfer afterward.

Victor Moses has six months left to run on that loan deal though he has not been a regular for the Turkish team this season due to injury problems.

Chelsea are his parent club and they don’t have any problem sanctioning a loan move to Inter Milan on the condition that the Italians will pay £10m for his transfer in the summer after his short-term loan deal has ended.

Victor Moses played his best football for Chelsea under Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte and they could link up again at the San Siro.

They won the 2016/17 Premier League title together with Victor Moses as a right wing-back.

The Premier League duo of Chelsea and Manchester United have been dealt a big transfer blow after Boubakary Soumare said that he’ll be staying at his club until the end of the present season at least.

Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare is a major target for both Manchester United and Chelsea but the two English clubs might need to wait untill this summer to get their man after the latest development from the player himself.

In an interview with French publication L’Equipe, Boubakary Soumare said that he wants to do a full season at Lille thereby ruling out a switch during this winter transfer window.

Boubakary Soumare wants to concentrate on playing well for Lille this season before thinking about any move away from the club.

He has been a top performer for Lille this season and was in action during the Champions League group stage campaign which ended in December.

Lille didn’t make it to the next stage of the competition after they finished last out of four teams in Group H.

Valencia, Chelsea and Ajax Amsterdam all finished ahead of Lille in the group with the first two securing their spots in the last 16, while Ajax drop down to the Europa League.

Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester United could both miss out on the signing of Paris Saint Germain (PSG) striker Edinson Cavani after another competitor lodged a bid for the player.

Edinson Cavani is the subject of a €10m bid from Spanish La Liga giants Atletico Madrid who are the frontrunners for the player.

PSG sporting director Leonardo confirmed the Atletico Madrid bid shortly after the French Cup win over Lorient who are in the second tier of French football these days.

Leonardo made this known in a chat with reporters after the Lorient game.

Chelsea and Manchester United are in the market for a new striker and Edinson Cavani is at the top of their shortlist.

Blues boss Frank Lampard doesn’t trust his striker options of Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi who are backups to leading striker Tammy Abraham who is the leading scorer for his team this season.

Tammy Abraham has scored 15 goals in all competitions this term including 13 goals in the Premier League.

For Manchester United, the striker search has been intensified following the news that leading goalscorer Marcus Rashford will miss a lot of games as a result of a back issue.

Rashford could be out of action until March at least.

Europa League holders Chelsea are eyeing a big-money move for a Premier League defender according to the various reports coming out from the British media.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has money to spend in this transfer window and he has identified the centre back position as one of the areas to strengthen.

The specific publication via the Daily Star revealed that Chelsea are planning a £48m bid for Brighton and Hove Albion skipper Lewis Dunk.

It remains to be seen whether the Seagulls would want to sell Lewis Dunk in the middle of the season as they are in a battle to avoid the drop in the Premier League.

Lewis Dunk is undoubtedly the best centre back in the Brighton squad.

Frank Lampard and Chelsea have already lost eight games in the Premier League this season. In addition, defence has been the Achilles heel for the Blues this season but they have still managed to keep their place in the top four of the league.

They have a five-point lead over Manchester United with 15 games left to play in the Premier League.

Only the first four spots on the Premier League table will guarantee a place in the Champions League next season.

Europa League holders Chelsea have opened preliminary talks with RB Leipzig over star player Timo Werner according to the Daily Star.

It was revealed that the Blues have initiated contract talks with the Germans and that has pushed Premier League rivals Liverpool to accelerate their transfer plans for the £60m striker.

Frank Lampard is keen to sign a new striker to provide competition for Tammy Abraham who has been a top performer for his team in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea have two back-up options to Tammy Abraham in Olivier Giroud and Belgian national team attacker Michy Batshuayi but none is as effective as the England international in front of goal.

Timo Werner is one of the hottest strikers in European football after the German scored 20 goals in the league alone this season.

He took his German Bundesliga tally to 20 goals this season after he netted a brace to help RB Leipzig to a comeback win over Union Berlin.

Timo Werner hit the back of the net twice to lead his team to a 3-1 win over their guests.

West London giants Chelsea are lining up a big bid for in-demand Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho according to one of the publications via Sports Mole.

Jadon Sancho is a key player for Borussia Dortmund and the England international has appeared on the radar of a lot of European teams including Chelsea mainly due to his impressive performances for the German Bundesliga outfit.

He has scored 13 goals and provided another 14 goals in just 25 games in all competitions this season.

Jadon Sancho left the Premier League in the summer of 2017 and he could return this summer after three hugely successful seasons in German.

Borussia Dortmund have already informed the interested clubs that Jadon Sancho won’t be for sale in the current winter market though a sale in the summer has not been ruled out.

Chelsea are the only club willing to pay over  £100m to sign him as things stand according to the above-mentioned media outlet.

£102m is the fee being mooted and it would be a Premier League record ahead of the £89m spent on Manchester United star Paul Pogba.
