Premier League Transfer Rumours

Manchester United – Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku Latest

Martin Blackburn from The Sun is reporting that Real Madrid have made their first move for Paul Pogba. However, the offer of £90 million falls short of United’s £150 million valuation. Although Pogba is not officially for sale, the midfielder has indicated that it could be time for a fresh challenge.

Juventus are also keen on bring Pogba back to Italy. The Mirror’s Matt Maltby is reporting that the Italian giants are preparing a bid. It is a bid that will beat Madrid’s but will still fall short of United’s valuation. A bid of £125 million is being prepared as an opening offer.

Inter Milan target Romelu Lukaku has been urged to leave Old Trafford by his national team boss. Speaking to Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, Roberto Martinez said: “I think it is clear he [Lukaku] is ready for a new challenge. In his case, a transfer would be good for both the player and the club. And if two parties benefit from it, a move away usually happens. Serie A seems to be a good choice for him, although I think he can handle any league.”

Villa Chasing Huddersfield and Luton Defenders

Premier League new boys Aston Villa are reportedly chasing two Championship defenders. According to Mail Online’s Simon Jones, Villa have made an enquiry about Huddersfield Town’s Terence Kongolo. The Terriers record signing only joined permanently last summer; however, after their relegation, they could be powerless to stop a move.

Another defender on Villa’s radar is Luton Town youngster James Justin. The 19-year-old was impressive as the Hatters won promotion to the Championship last season. Justin is seen as an exciting prospect and the £10 million Villa could pay could prove to be a bargain. In the same report by Dave Armitage of The Star, Leicester City are also interested in the full-back.
