Pochettino not keen on Chelsea signing Neymar
As per the Evening Standard, Chelsea might refrain from pursuing Neymar this summer due to the reluctance of their new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, to reunite with the forward. Reportedly, PSG has made Neymar available for transfer, with a starting price of £50m, sparking interest from various European clubs, including Chelsea and Barcelona.
However, the Evening Standard’s report suggests that Chelsea might withdraw from any potential competition due to Pochettino’s stance and the 31-year-old’s high wage requests. Neymar is said to earn approximately £600,000 per week in Paris, making a transfer financially challenging. Additionally, the report also indicates that Chelsea, aligning with Pochettino and their sporting directors, are prioritizing the acquisition of younger talents over big-name superstars.

Manchester United seems poised to extend their summer investments by pursuing Nice’s center-back, Jean-Clair Todibo, with the intention of filling the void left by Harry Maguire. GOAL has verified this information.
Reportedly, United has expressed interest in the 23-year-old, as they aim to reinforce their defense. The team has already undergone significant changes with David de Gea’s departure and the subsequent arrival of Andre Onana, as reported by RMC Sport.
As the possibility of former captain Maguire departing Old Trafford grows, Ten Hag faces the necessity of acquiring an additional defensive player.
Initial talks with Todibo’s representatives have been characterized as ‘positive’. However, if Manchester United aims to secure their fourth summer signing, they’ll need to ward off potential competition from Juventus. This move would mark a significant progression for the Frenchman, considering that Nice finished ninth in Ligue 1 last season. Todibo played in 31 out of their 38 matches, contributing to 10 clean sheets along the way.
Bayern expected to go back in for Kane
Bayern Munich is anticipated to make another bid for Harry Kane. Despite their recent offer being turned down, the German champions are persistent in their pursuit of him. According to Sky Sports Germany, securing Kane’s signing continues to be the primary objective for Bayern’s leadership.
However, a deal between the clubs seems distant at the moment, making it increasingly probable that Kane will remain with Tottenham. He aims to resolve his future before the week’s end, in preparation for Tottenham’s first match of the season against Brentford on Sunday.
Kane is reportedly having a positive experience under Tottenham’s new head coach, Ange Postecoglou. He is one of the players who participated in Sunday’s match against Shakhtar Donetsk and has not joined the team’s travel to Barcelona for their last friendly fixture tonight.
