Rabiot deal stuck in transfer chain
Manchester United have agreed to sign France midfielder Adrien Rabiot for £15m from Juventus but Gazzetta dello Sport reports transfer is stuck in a chain dependent on other deals going through.
The Italian club first want to take Argentine Leandro Paredes from Paris Saint-Germain as a replacement for Rabiot. And PSG have lined up Napoli’s Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz.
Napoli want Tottenham ’s record signing Tanguy Ndombele on loan and have agreed a €2m fee with the option to buy the Frenchman for €30m. But Ndombele is on £200,000 a week at Spurs and has been offered €8m in Italy.
De Jong rumbles on
Barcelona's transfer activity has been the soap opera of the summer as the debt-ridden club has spent £126m but is now trying to balance the books.
Selling Frenke de Jong to Chelsea or Manchester United for £71m would be one way to raise money except the Dutchman is owed £17m in deferred wages from during the pandemic. Barcelona want him to accept £6m - and take a 50% pay cut if he stays at the Camp Nou.
Ex-Netherlands and Spurs star Rafael van der Vaart, now 39, told Dutch TV station Ziggo Sport: “"You can't treat people like that. Frenkie earns too much? First you sign a contract and then you honour it or you go on good terms but not like that. This is mafia and they must be punished.”
