Sancho wanted by Mourinho
Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho is lining up a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho, claims a report.
Sancho returned to training at Carrington this week but is still being linked with a move away. According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, he could end up at Fenerbahce with left-back Ferdi Kadioglu moving in the opposite direction.
Kadioglu starred at Euro 2024 as Turkey made it to the quarter-final.
“Reports over the last few months have speculated that Sancho could be on the move yet again this summer, this time on a permanent deal,” reads the article.
“Sancho recently returned to United training for their pre-season preparations, but will not be part of the squad for the trip to Norway as he will remain at Carrington to work on his fitness.
“Despite being part of the first-team fold at United once again for pre-season, there continues to be rumours that Sancho may not have a long-term future at Old Trafford. Now a report has emerged that a former United boss may want to sign the winger this summer.
“According to Turkish news outlet Sabah, United are interested in signing Fenerbahce left-back Ferdi Kadioglu. The report states that the Reds made a €25 million (£21 million) offer to the Super Lig club to try and sign Kadioglu.
“It has also been reported that Fenerbahce are demanding €35 million (£30 million) for Kadioglu. The report states, though, that if an increased offer is not made then Fenerbahce, who are managed by Mourinho, could look at a swap deal involving Sancho instead.”
Wharton to turn down Real Madrid
Adam Wharton is wanted by Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid – but is set to stay at Crystal Palace.
The midfielder has impressed since arriving at Selhurst Park, earning himself a place in Gareth Southgate’s England Euro 2024 squad.
According to The Sun, Wharton will turn down some of Europe’s biggest clubs to remain with Oliver Glasner’s side.
“England new boy Adam Wharton looks set to give Crystal Palace a boost by staying — despite massive interest,” reads the article.
“The £18million midfielder, 20, is liked by Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid but is content to keep improving in Oliver Glasner’s side.
Chelsea to rival Spurs for Doue
Chelsea will do battle with Tottenham as they attempt to persuade highly-rated Rennes teenager Desire Doue to move to Stamford Bridge.
The left winger, 19, scored four goals and registered five assists in 31 appearances last season in Ligue 1.
“Chelsea are set to rival Tottenham after joining the transfer race to sign Rennes wonderkid Desire Doue,” according to The Sun.
“The 19-year-old midfielder has also attracted interest from European giants Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
“Bayern Munich’s £30 million offer for the French youngster was immediately rejected by Rennes.
“As one of Europe's hottest prospects Rennes are seeking a deal of £52million for Doue, who will represent France at the Paris Olympics later this month.
“London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham will battle it out alongside Bayern and PSG for the 2022 European U17 champion with all teams boasting European football next season.
“Both London rivals are so keen on the Frenchman that they want a deal to be sealed very soon.”
