MU buys Gvardiol, Chelsea signs Kounde

MU approaches Gvardiol . target

According to German media, officials MU are in contact with RB Leipzig to negotiate the transfer of versatile defender Josko Gvardiol.

In the past time, MU is interested in many targets such as Lisandro Martinez, Pau Torres and Jurriem Timber. However, these deals have many obstacles.

Therefore, the MU sports team decided to put Gvardiol on the list of additional targets for the defense.

In fact, MU is about to liquidate two players Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe. In addition, Victor Lindelof is likely to be transferred as well. Therefore, the Red Devils consider recruiting 2 of the above central defenders.

Gvardiol had a successful season with RB Leipzig and is the future leader of the Croatian team. In addition to MU, Chelsea are also interested in this 20-year-old player, who can kick center-back and left-back.

Chelsea close to Kounde . contract

If there are no surprises, Chelsea will close the deal transfer Jules Kounde in the near future.

Chelsea see Kounde as their number one priority for a defensive overhaul, after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left Stamford Bridge due to their contracts running out.

Chelsea’s main rivals in the race for Kounde are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, Real Madrid has just confirmed that Rudiger has not bought more central defenders. Meanwhile, financial ability is a big problem preventing Barca from recruiting the French defender.

Kounde himself admits he wants to play for Chelsea. The Blues and Sevilla are looking for a mutual agreement on the cost and payment method.

Arsenal want Memphis Depay

To refresh the attack for the ambition to enter the top 4 in the Premier League next season, Arsenal is planning to recruit striker Memphis Depay – the author of a brace to help the Netherlands beat Belgium 4-1 in the UEFA Nations League.

Arsenal’s representatives are expected to discuss officially with the Barcelona side next week.

Memphis Depay has had no official position at Barca since Ronald Koeman was sacked. Xavi Hernandez publicly confirmed he was not part of the team’s plans.

Arsenal’s attack is quite thin, when the club lost Aubameyang to Barca at the beginning of the year, while Alexandre Lacazette’s contract ended on June 30.

A big obstacle for Arsenal is that Tottenham – the same London team that will attend next season’s Champions League, is also questioning the contract with Memphis Depay.
