Today’s rumours are the very modern man

t is very difficult to find a top quality No 9 in the game and with Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani available, a fun three-way battle could be heading the way of rumourmongers. Juventus have already had a bid rejected, although they are expected to return with a second offer. While they are crunching the numbers, Manchester United and Chelsea may sneak in with a superior financial package and steal the France international from under the Old Lady’s nose.
João Felix is on his way out of Chelsea after making absolutely no impact at the club for a second time, leaving many to wonder why they bothered signing him in the first place. It looked as if he was heading back to his boyhood club Benfica but Al Nassr have stepped in with a €50m bid to lure the benchwarmer to Saudi Arabia, where he will join his international colleague Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.
Even though James Trafford is readying himself for a Manchester City medical, there is a rumour swirling that Pep Guardiola might even fancy a third new goalkeeper of the summer, with Marcus Bettinelli already in the building. The latest name to be linked with the Etihad Stadium is Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain. If City are in fact interested in the Italian, they might need to battle bitter rivals Manchester United for his services, as Ruben Amorim really needs a new face between the sticks.
