#1 Manchester madness

Nah, this ain’t ever ending. Even if Manchester United are quiet on a certain day, their city rivals will always come up with something for the rumours section. Or rather, the news outlets will come up with something or the other.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Pep Guardiola will trigger Aymeric Laporte’s €60 million release clause by the end of this month. Guardiola wanted to sign the defender in the summer as well, but he turned down a move citing family reasons.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports believes that Lille are expecting a bid from Manchester City for their young star, Boubakary Soumare, who has been dubbed as the next Yaya Toure by some in the football fraternity. Lille rate him at £35 million and need to raise funds in order to comply with the FFP.
