Transfer roundup: Barca to buy PSG star, Spurs delay Modric's move, Zidane eyes EPL move and more

Hello and welcome to the transfer roundup of this week. As always we have some crazy transfers and plans made by the clubs. This week we have lots of Manchester United news along with some other major clubs like Barca, PSG, and Tottenham. So without wasting any time further, let us begin!

Godin rejected Man United offer

According to Goal, Godin has recently revealed that he had a chance to move to Man Utd this summer. Godin went against this move because he became a star defender playing for Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United's well-documented search for a defender all came to nothing with United not able to bring in any of their top targets.

‘I have not renewed,’ Godin said ahead of Atletico’s Super Cup final against Real Madrid in Estonia. ‘I have had offers, although I have decided to stay for personal reasons and I am only thinking about the final'.

Maguire nears new Leicester City deal

According to the Telegraph, Harry Maguire is all set to sign a new bumper deal with Leicester City.

Maguire caught the eye of big clubs after a string of impressive World cup performances that saw England reach the semi-finals. He was a rumoured target for Manchester United but no deal materialized, with Harry staying put. Claude Puel, the Leicester manager, said: "I'm happy about Harry and Jamie, they came back with a smile.

“I'm happy about the attitude of Harry, it's important for him to remain with us, and to bring strong momentum for this season, I’m happy to keep him. Harry, he's happy also to remain with us."

Inter still pushing for Luka Modric

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter have not given up the hopes of landing Modric this summer. Modric was the star of the World cup, winning the golden ball for his impressive performances that saw Croatia reach the finals in a fairy-tale run.

Earlier in the summer, it was revealed that the Italian outfit is interested in securing a move for Modric. The speculation intensified with the club's manager Spaletti admitting thathat the club would indeed try to land the 32-year old.

If you didn't know, Luka Modric's agent has revealed that Inter Milan is interested in Modric and the Real Madrid midfielder is excited by the idea of playing for the Serie A side, according to Goal.

Barca told to pay €50m for Rabiot

According to Don Balon, Ernesto Valverde wants a final piece to fill his exceptional midfield. He is planning on bringing in Rabiot and PSG has told them the sum for the transfer to happen.

Valverde earlier this summer was planning to bring in Manchester United star Paul Pogba but it seems like Mourinho isn't planning to let him go now. So now Rabiot is Valverde's next option as he is about to expire his contract in June 2019 and this seems to be the best time for Barca to bring him in. Rabiot is not ready to renew his contract now, so PSG has no other option but to put him in the transfer market.

Zidane eyes Man United job

According to ESPN, Zinedine Zidane is planning to take over Manchester United from Jose Mourinho.

Zidane is one of the most successful managers with three back to back Champions League trophies with Real Madrid. After a stint with Real Madrid now he is looking to become the manager of the most successful EPL team. It looks like this is Jose Mourinho's last chance to prove and if he fails Zidane seems to be his successor, it would be foolish if Man Utd does not give a chance to Zidane if they sack Mourinho.
