£81 million Real Madrid superstar rejects Manchester United, Tottenham have a chance to sign Isco this summer and more Premier League transfer news, June 5, 2019

Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premiership!

Steve Nicol on Klopp leaving Liverpool

Former Liverpool star Steve Nicol thinks that it would be sensible for Jurgen Klopp to take a sabbatical after his contract with Liverpool expires. There are reports of the German doing that and Nicol thinks that it could happen.

He stated that coaching a Premier League team is really stressful since the coach is responsible for almost everything and when a team loses, all the blame has to be taken by the manager himself and ultimate sack is faced by the manager and not the players.

“I think it would make sense,” Nicol was quoted as saying.

“Unless you’ve been in the job as a head coach, and certainly at the Premier League level and elite level, it’s stressful.

“You’re responsible for everything. You’re responsible for how the team plays, if they don’t turn up you’re responsible for that, your job is to get them playing.

“If you lose a game, you’re responsible ultimately because you’re the one who would get the sack if you lose too many, not the players.

He then stated that the pressures of management are just too much and that if Klopp chose to take a break from coaching, it would make sense. For Liverpool, however, he added, it would be a terrible thing to happen.

“There are a whole load of different pressures that go with being the head coach, manager, whatever you want to call it.

“So on the face of it it would seem like a sensible idea for Klopp.

“On the other hand, it would be a disaster for Liverpool.”

Update on Leroy Sane to Bayern

Manchester United v Manchester City - Premier League

Leroy Sane is wanted by Bayern Munich and it is not according to just reports, but also the Bavarians themselves. However, the transfer fee might be a problem for the German giants.

And according to Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Bavarians have not yet made an offer for the player. He also stated that they are some way off in the race and added that the forward himself has to decide on whether he sees himself at Bayern and if the answer is yes, they will start talks with the Etihad outfit.

“We have not made an offer for Leroy Sane,” the Bayern chief said. “That is still a long way off.

“First the player has to decide whether he can envisage himself coming to Bayern. If that is the case, we will start concrete discussions with Manchester City.”

London

Chelsea v Arsenal - UEFA Europa League Final

Arsenal didn’t have the best of seasons last year as they failed to finish top four and then couldn’t win the Europa League final against Chelsea, which meant that they couldn’t qualify for the Champions League.

However, they wouldn’t want to face the same fate next season and, as a result, are looking at the transfer market to sign new talents. And according to journalist Nicolo Schira, Arsenal are looking at the possibility to sign Dennis Praet and Joaquim Andersen, who is also targeted by Milan and Spurs.

Meanwhile, in Chelsea, things are a bit gloomy. They are not allowed to sign players for the next two windows and are set to lose their best player in the form of Eden Hazard.

Indeed, according to Marca, the deal is so close to completion that the Galacticos are in a dilemma on which shirt number to use while presenting him.

Tottenham

Real Sociedad v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Tottenham’s name is quite actively been thrown around the transfer rumour mill. And it does make sense. After all, they haven’t been active in the transfer market for the last two windows as they didn’t sign a single player.

And it seems like Daniel Levy wants to make up for it by signing some big names. Spurs have been linked with Tanguy Ndombele and Giovanni Lo Celso and according to today’s reports, Isco and Nicolo Zaniolo.

According to reports, Spurs are serious about Zaniolo, who is also being followed by Juventus, and that his representatives have a good offer from England.

Meanwhile, according to reports from Spain, Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for Isco, a player who has been linked to Tottenham. While the Spaniard’s intention is to stay at Madrid, the Merengues have seemingly put him up for sale.

Story of the day

Real Madrid CF v Real Betis Balompie - La Liga

Real Madrid are set for a huge renovation at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luka Jovic has already been signed, Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao are also coming. Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy’s deals are almost done.

So with so many acquisitions, it has become important for the Merengues to sell players in order to raise funds and stay on the safe side of Financial Fair Play. As a result, there are quite a few players who are on the sell list of Madrid.

And one of them is Gareth Bale, valued at £81 million. After yet another inconsistent season, the Welshman is set to be sold. However, according to reports from Spain, the former Spurs star has rejected the chance to joining United because he doesn’t want to waste a year not being in the Champions League.

The report adds that Inter are now a real possibility for the Welshman.
