Transfer Talks: Utd prepare £170m for 3 kids; Bayern eye De Ligt; Rabiot→Madrid?

All Football takes a look at the biggest transfer news and rumours from all across Europe.

Man Utd line-up £170m raid for Sancho, Rice & Wan-Bissaka

According to Sun, Manchester United are lining up a stunning triple swoop for young England trio Declan Rice, Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

According to report, the three youngsters have been identified by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as potential additions because he wants to bolster the core of his team with English players. If the moves come off, it could cost up to £170m.

Both Rice and Sancho have made their senior international bows this season under Gareth Southgate, while Wan-Bissaka is an England Under 21 international.

Madrid exploring option to sign Rabiot on a free

According to Sport, Real Madrid seem ready to make a move for PSG midfielder Rabiot, 23. As of today, though, his future remains uncertain.

Sources close to Paris Saint-Germain are convinced that an agreement is in place with Real Madrid. Rabiot can leave for free in the summer after deciding not to renew his contract.

Rabiot was also a Madrid target when they looked to fill the space left by Kovacic's loan move to Chelsea, although nothing happened in the end. Zinedine Zidane could back a move for his compatriot this summer as Los Blancos look to remodel their squad following a disappointing season on the pitch.

Griezmann to reduce salary by €7m a year for Barca move

Antoine Griezmann is prepared to reduce his annual salary by a huge €7million a year in order to move to Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo in Spain , where their front page for Thursday's edition states that Griezmann will reduce his earnings from €23million a year to €16million a year to complete his dream move.

The change is due to the wage budgets in place at Barca, and the fact that Atletico Madrid star Griezmann would be leaving a club where he is very much the top dog in order to just become one of a galaxy of stars at Barca.

Bayern join race with Barca for De Ligt after Lucas Hernandez buy

According to Sport, after the confirmation of the signing of Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid, their next target is Ajax's Matthijs de Ligt.

The price would not be a problem for the Germans, who already know it will cost them around 70 million euros to bring in the 19-year-old. 

But the Bavarians already knew this summer was going to be a costly one, starting with the 80 million signing of France World Cup winner Lucas. 

Bayern are in a moment of reconstruction. Barcelona are aware of their interest but remain confident they can convince De Ligt to sign for them. 

Arsenal open talks with Umtiti over summer transfer

According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal have made contact with Barcelona over the possibility of signing defender Samuel Umtiti this summer.

The report said that Emirates chief Raul Sanllehi has opened talks with Barca director of football Eric Abidal. The Frenchman only signed a fresh five-year deal at the Nou Camp last summer, with an astronomical release clause of €500million.

Barca are understood to be ready to trim their wage bill at the end of the season as they look to lure Matthijs de Ligt to the club from Ajax.

Juventus not keen on swapping Pjanic for Kroos

According to Calciomercato, Juventus have apparently been offered Toni Kroos in exchange for Miralem Pjanic. But the club is not convinced of the swap deal between the two midfielders.

The Italian media claim Juventus see Pjanic as having more market value, so would insist on receiving a fee for him as well as the German midfielder, and Kroos also earns more considerably more than the Bosnian does at Juve, so that could present another obstacle to this deal.

From Madrid, Zidane and the Madrid hierarchy seem to be increasingly set on signing Juventus’ Bosnian playmaker and replacing him with Kroos who is the same age and position.

Mane not for sale, no matter the price

According to Mirror, Liverpool have absolutely no interest in parting with Sadio Mane this summer - no matter the price.

His recent form has seen him once more linked with a move to Real Madrid - amid long-standing interest from Zinedine Zidane. The Frenchman had earmarked Mane as a target last summer, before his exit.

Now Mane, who signed a new deal in November to keep him at Anfield until 2023, has once again emerged as a target for Zidane, ahead of his summer overhaul in the Spanish capital.

According to Marca, Mane has been "seduced" by the possibility of playing for Zidane. But Liverpool are paying little mind to reported interest in Mane, and will reject all overtures.

Real Madrid keep tabs on 'new Varane'

According to Sport, Real Madrid are keeping tabs on young Saint-Etienne defender William Saliba, an upcoming talent from the 2001 generation in France.

A move for William would be similar to the one the La Liga side did for Raphael Varane, when they signed him as a 17-year-old who was starting to make his name at Lens.

Zinedine Zidane played a key role in that deal and Madrid have done well from the signing, with Varane growing into a fine centre-back.

Now, Zidane wants to do the same with Saliba, but the interest in the teenager, curiously, comes at a time when Varane could be leaving.
