‘It’s about to start’ – Fabrizio Romano shares exciting inside player news he heard from Man Utd

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is ‘close’ to signing a new long-term contract, according to famed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

When does Marcu Rashford’s contract expire? The Old Trafford Academy graduate and Premier League veteran rose through the youth ranks and established himself as a regular member of Erik Ten Hag’s first team, making 359 senior appearances to date.

However, the England international’s contract expires at the end of next season meaning this transfer window would be the last chance for the Red Devils to make a move. There would be no shortage of suitors, having emerged as their best attacking player last season. The 25-year-old’s intention was always to stay with his boyhood club, according to The Mirror, which credited Paris Saint-Germain for taking an interest in him. It seems they have the same opinion on whether or not to extend his stay.

Rashford reportedly signs a new deal. Romano revealed on Twitter that Rashford and Manchester United are closing in on a deal which would keep him with the team for the foreseeable future. He stated:

Marcus Rashford and Manchester United are close to agreeing a new long-term contract, according to an exclusive report. He is ready to accept the offer. final stages of negotiations; Rashford is happy with Erik ten Hag. We’re just waiting for the final details to be ironed out.

Marcus Rashford England Premier League
Rashford has been instrumental in Man United’s success in recent years and rewarding him with a better contract is the least Man United can do given his productivity in the final third of last season as well.

The Nike-sponsored left-winger made 35 Premier League appearances and netted 22 goals (17 goals and five assists) last season, earning him six Man of the Match awards. He also had 98 shots, which was the second-highest total for Ten Hag’s team, according to FBRef.

The striker’s £200,000-a-week signing shows how lost the team would be without their star at the helm and the decision to keep him comes naturally to the hierarchy. In the 2022/23 season, the striker was also recognized for his individual achievements as he was named the Europa League and EFL Cup top scorer.

Fabrizio Romano tells Man City they need to break Man Utd transfer record to sign Erik Ten Hag’s targer

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City could eclipse one of Manchester United’s highest ever transfer costs this summer by signing a world-class star also wanted by Chelsea.

City have just capped off an incredible season by adding the Champions League trophy to their Premier League and FA Cup triumphs. They beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final in Istanbul to become the second English team to win a treble of those three illustrious trophies, behind Sir Alex Ferguson’s 1999 Man Utd.
Guardiola has won Europe’s top club competition three times, with his two previous victories for Barcelona coming in 2009 and 2011.

However, as City midfielder Rodri has warned, the Citizens will not stop there. They want to keep the Champions League trophy and continue their dominance in the Premier League.
According to reports, Guardiola will remain manager of City until the end of his contract, which runs until June 2025. As such, fans of the club can look forward to big transfers over the next couple of years as Guardiola looks to consolidate his already incredible legacy. 

One player City are keen to sign is RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol. Chelsea tried to sign Gvardiol for around £77m last summer but he has been unable to bring the 21-year-old to England. Chelsea remain interested in Gvardiol as they want to reunite him with Christopher Nkunku under Mauricio Pochettino. However, there is now a real prospect of Gvardiol joining City instead.
During an interview with CaughtOffside, Romano explained how Gvardiol could become the most expensive defender in the world this summer.

Romano speaks of great potential for Man City

“Over €80m (£69m), the most expensive centre-back in football history is RB Leipzig’s idea,” Romano revealed. “I don’t know if €80m or €85m (£73m) will be enough. Sources close to Leipzig believe it could cost around €100m to sign Gvardiol this summer.
“Leipzig know they will probably lose many more players. Nkunku will go to Chelsea, let’s see what happens with [Dominik] Szoboszlai.

“It’s really important for them to make sure that Gvardiol only leaves for a good amount, otherwise they are willing to keep the player for another season and sell him in the summer of 2024 for a record fee.
“Man City will try, they will definitely try because they like the player, Guardiola likes the player, so let’s see what kind of conversation they have.”

If Gvardiol joins City, he looks set to break a Manchester United transfer record. The most expensive defender in the world right now is Harry Maguire, who joined Old Trafford for £80m four years ago. And it looks like City will certainly have the cash for such a big move, as their transfer budget is reported to hit £300m this summer.

The Croatia international’s transfer is expected to go much better than Maguire’s. Gvardiol is considered one of the best young defenders in the world and is already one of Leipzig’s best players despite his young age.

That means he should adapt well at City and reach his full potential, which is mind-blowing. Maguire, on the other hand, has always been a controversial figure at Man Utd despite being their captain. And he is likely to leave the club this summer as Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are all keen.
According to reports from Spain, a key City star will decide his future on Tuesday [today] as Prem rivals and some top European sides show interest.

PSG set to sell it’s star  Kylian Mbappé to Man Utd as Qatar takeover nears

 

Manchester United to sign Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain this summer should Sheikh Jassim’s takeover bid prove successful: PSG planning transfer

Paris Saint-Germain are set to sell Kylian Mbappé to Manchester United this summer if Sheikh Jassim’s Qatari-backed takeover bid for Old Trafford proves successful.
Mbappé will not sign a one-year contract extension into his contract with PSG, meaning his contract will expire in 12 months. Mirror Football understands the French club’s priority is to ensure he doesn’t leave without a transfer fee, meaning they are set to monetize the superstar this summer.

The French superstar has confirmed he intends to stay with the Ligue 1 champions beyond this summer, but it is clear PSG will push for his departure, aware the alternative is to lose a historic transfer fee altogether.
However, relations between the club and Real Madrid remain tense. That relationship deteriorated during the previous saga surrounding Mbappé’s future, when several transfer offers, especially public ones, for Real Madrid were rejected by the French club. The Blancos were hopeful of seeing Mbappé enter as a free agent in 2022, but he extended his contract in Paris.

Last weekend, Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, answered a question about a future move by Mbappé: “Yes. But not this year.” That announcement came just days before Mbappé outlined his future plans and could speed up a possible move to this summer, given Real Madrid’s needs and PSG’s intention to raise funds.

Real Madrid’s focus is now on the forwards after Karim Benzema confirmed his departure from the Spanish giants last week, while Eden Hazard, Asensio and Mariano Diaz – the latter of whom was the only recognized centre-forward in the first Real Madrid team – all leave as free agents this summer. However, it is Mbappé who holds the power. All signs are that he will leave Parc des Princes this summer and the French club’s QSI owner is preparing to sell the striker to United, according to El Pais, as they prefer to do business with Sheikh Jassim if his takeover offer were to be successful. . , then Madrid.

United are desperate for an elite striker this summer but have backed out of the move to their first-choice target Harry Kane, while the switch to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is priceless. While Mbappé would claim an England record fee, relations between the two clubs could allow for a sensational deal.

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi is believed to have played a key role in Sheikh Jassim’s bid to buy United. While the PSG boss insists his role would not go beyond offering advice, the shared Qatari track record and exact funding source behind United’s offer is the subject of a further examination.

“There are not many alternatives to Kane for Man Utd,” Saha said. “Victor Osimhen is an obvious one at the moment, though, he’s scoring a lot of goals for Napoli. Very fit, very strong and agile. But it may take him more time to adapt.

“There is a young boy in Hojlund at Atalanta. But no one offers the guarantees like Kane does.”

Osimhen is the leading scorer in Serie A, helping Napoli win their first league title since 1990, while 20-year-old talent Hojlund scored five goals in two Euro 2024 qualifiers for Denmark in March.

Another man linked with a move is Randal Kolo Muani. The Eintracht Frankfurt star scored for his country at the World Cup, but won’t come cheap with Bayern Munich also linked.

“I think Randal Muani would be a very good signing for Man Utd,” Saha added. “Not only as a number 9, he can play either side of a three. He’s a very clever player, very quick, sharp with his feet and very intelligent.

“He’s already established a good link with Kylian Mbappe for France. He’s aware of everything, he has the talent to go short or long, he’s very clever and he will be a real danger in the Premier League if he comes, especially with [Marcus] Rashford and [Jadon] Sancho.”

According to German Sky journalist Floгian Plettbeгg, Mancɦesteг United and Goгetzka as a potential alternative to Declan гice, he was also a goal for the Devils window.

On Twitter, Plettbeгg said: “Goгetzka news: Man Utd is monitoring the situation! MUFC understands that it is future and uncertain because of the ice. But still no concrete talk about the negotiations. Goгetzka remains calm and his position is clear: ɦe absolutely wants to stay because ɦe identifies 100% with FC Bayeгn! E: гummenigge supports ɦim».

Like Tɦe Daily Mail, Bayelyn Municɦ is also enthusiastic about West ɦam United’s battle in midfield, potentially creating a domino effect; Today, Tɦe Guaгdian ɦave since he revealed that 24-year-old tɦat tɦe could move to Aгsenal in a £100m deal.

Salaгy was introduced to the German international on £231,000 a week in a contract running until the summer of 2026.

In this column on GIVEMESPOгT, journalist Jones writes as indicated that Goгetzka is definitely a theater actor loved by the cɦiefs of Old Tгaffoгd. Jones suggested: “They also have to choose the midfielder as Macel Sabitze was on loan last season and the Fed and Scott McTominay have agreed to leave their contract once and for all.” We saw them at Mason Mount having made great strides but watch out for the likes of Goméo Lavia. Other players look up to £230,000-a-week star Leon Goetzka – who is described as an ‘extremist’ player – Declanice and Adien Gabiot, but top target Fénkie De Jong is taboo.
