Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premier League!
Pogba to Real Madrid
Former Tottenham star Mido has praised Mino Raiola for being aware of what he is doing and believes that Paul Pogba might be leaving the Old Trafford. The Egyptian had Raiola as his agent during his playing career, which is why he seems to be confident in his assessment.
The former striker thinks that Raiola will be looking for another club for the Frenchman since he is aware of the fact that the World Cup winner will be under pressure next season.

"Pogba’s agent is Mino Raiola – Mino was my agent for ten years and he knows what he’s doing, believe me,” the Egyptian said.
“He will be thinking now that maybe it’s the right time for Paul to go away. He knows he will be under pressure next season so, believe me, Mino will be looking for another club.”
As a result, the Egyptian doesn’t think that the former Juventus star will stay at the Old Trafford – even if he is given the armband.
“I don’t see Pogba staying at Manchester United, even if they offer him the captaincy.”
He then spoke about the possibility of the Galacticos signing the Frenchman, claiming that manager Zinedine Zidane is a huge fan of the player and knows how to deal with French players, who Mido thinks are a bit ‘moody’.
“Of course, Zidane loves Pogba. He loves him. Zizou knows how to deal with the French boys. He knows the mentality. French boys are different, a little moody, if you can say that.
“If you can make them happy they will be at their best.”
Shaqiri and Sane
Liverpool might be interested in selling Xherdan Shaqiri according to Goal’s Neil Jones. The winger had a decent start to his career with the Reds but endured a rather poor second half of the campaign.
As a result, Jones thinks that Shaqiri is not tactically suitable with Klopp and the Reds could sell if a good offer comes in.
“Xherdan Shaqiri, though, endured a frustrating second half to the campaign and appears to be out of step with what Klopp demands tactically. A good offer would convince Liverpool to do business for the Swiss.”
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has admitted that the Bavarians want Manchester City’s Leroy Sane. He claimed that the German giants are trying to bring the former Schalke star to the club.
"Yes, we are dealing with that name at the moment."
Always an open book, Bayern.
Wolves and Hammers
Wolves had a brilliant season in the Premier League as they finished a commendable 7th in the division. They could actually gun for the top 6 spots next season and it seems as though that is just the plan.
According to the Standard, the Wolves are in the race to sign Arsenal star Danny Welbeck in the summer transfer window on a Bosman transfer. However, the report states that Everton in the pole position to sign the forward.
Meanwhile, West Ham are another club that did decently in the Premier League as they finished 10th after a grueling season. With the transfer window coming up, they are also looking at the possibility to sign players that could strengthen them.
And according to the South London Press, the Hammers are looking at the possibility of signing Milwall goalkeeper David Martin on a Bosman transfer.
Manchester madness
There can’t be a Premier League transfer roundup without Manchester madness being in it. And it is only natural because, after all, the Red Devils are in need of a desperate renovation in the squad and are set to have a very busy outing in the transfer market.
One of the players they have heavily been linked with is Gareth Bale. And two of the players that have been linked out of the Theatre of Dreams are Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.
So when these three players combined to make one mega rumour, you know it is pure madness.
According to reports from Spain, Real Madrid want to include Gareth Bale in the deal to bring Paul Pogba to the club. While Manchester United are keen on having the Welshman, they can’t do so with Alexis Sanchez’s wages of €15 million-per-year.
Atleti are interested in the Chilean but don’t want to pay so much money in wages. So, it is a waiting game for the Blancos.
Tottenham transfers
Shocked, isn’t it? Tottenham are the main-headliners in the transfer roundup today, so it is something to cherish because, after all, this is a club that haven’t signed a single player in the last two transfer window.
But suddenly, they are being linked with almost every player under the sun. Indeed, the Londoners have been linked to the Barca trio of Andre Gomes, Malcom and Nelson Semedo.
But there is a twist today: Lionel Messi wants a Spurs player at Barcelona. And no, it is not a big name; in fact, it might just be the last player the Catalans fans would want: Fernando Llorente.
Meanwhile, the Londoners have been linked with a move for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio, who has not had the best of seasons with the Galacticos this year.
Fun times to be a Spurs fan right now, eh?
