               SEVILLA WANT SERGINO DEST IN JULES KOUNDE DEAL THIS SUMMER

According to a report by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona might have to include Sergino Dest in the deal to sign Jules Kounde in the summer transfer window. The Sevilla defender is also a target for Chelsea but wants to move to Camp Nou ahead of the 2022/23 season. Jules Kounde has become one of the most highly sought-after players in the market on the back of a solid three years with Sevilla thus far. The French international took no time to become a pivotal player for Los Nervionenses and has also established a foothold in his national team.


The 23-year-old has turned out 133 times for Sevilla while chipping in with nine goals and three assists thus far. But Kounde might have played his final game for the Andalusian club, with some of the most high-profile clubs in Europe, including Barcelona and Chelsea, hot on his heels heading into the summer transfer window.

UNITED STILL LOOKING FOR POGBA REPLACEMENT

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has refused to commit his future to the club and there are still rumors making the rounds that he could be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the current campaign. Pogba has always had his name among the news when it comes to transfer rumors and it does not look like that will be stopping anytime soon. His agent, Mino Raiola, has often reiterated that he would love to see his client leave the Red Devils and that there are already several offers waiting for him to acknowledge. The clubs said to be interested in acquiring the France international midfielder’s services include Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, Italian Serie A giants Juventus, and French Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.

The three clubs mentioned are some of the very few ones that can willingly afford to pay the player’s transfer fee and his wages. However, none of those clubs are eager to add his huge wage demands to their wage bill, which is one of the major problems regarding why he is yet to establish any agreement with any of those clubs. Many people believe that Pogba will not be a United player at the end of the forthcoming summer transfer window but there is still hope that he could eventually put pen to paper and sign a new deal at United but wants to first see who the next manager will be before committing his future.

CITY COULD SIGN BARCA STAR IN PLACE OF KANE

It has continued to look pretty much unlikely that Manchester City will still be able to sign Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane this summer. The England international striker was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City just before the end of the Premier League season after coming out publicly to insinuate that he wants to go to a club where he can win trophies from this summer. Since then, even though the rumors have gone quiet a little more than when they first popped up, he has constantly been tipped to seal the switch to the Etihad stadium.

Kane is not only seen as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, but he also makes the list as one of the best in the world, and if he joins City, every other club in the league could as well kiss the league title goodbye. Tottenham finished outside of the top four in the Premier League last season, something that Kane is not particularly pleased with, and it is one of the reasons why he made the statement some weeks ago.

Conte is currently out of job after leaving Inter Milan some weeks ago despite guiding the Italian Serie A giants to their first league title in a long time. It was reported that the manager wanted some funds from the club’s board as he wished to sign more players at the club in a bid to fight for more trophies next season, but he was told that he will not be getting all that he requested for and it led to a breakdown in contract talks and his eventual resignation as well.
