Man Utd linked with Roque, Guehi and Olise deals

Man Utd linked with Roque loan

Manchester United are one of several teams that could make a move for Barcelona striker Vitor Roque.

The Sun reports that due to financial regulations, Barcelona may struggle to register the player for next season, which could technically make him a free agent, though the teenager would prefer to go out on loan instead.

The paper reports: “The Brazilian star has impressed since arriving at Barcelona from Athletico Paranaense.

“Roque, 19, has scored twice for the La Liga giants in his 13 appearances and is expected to get even better.

“However, he could be set for a quick exit from Barcelona due to registration rules.

“This has sparked the interest of Sevilla, Real Betis, Napoli and Nice as well as Man United.

“However, it is claimed that Roque wants to remain at Barcelona and would only consider going out on loan.”

Palace prepare for Olise and Guehi exits

Marc Guehi and Michael Olise are both linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, but Crystal Palace are also weighing up the futures of seven other players.

Contract talks have begun over a host of squad members, who could all move on.

The Evening Standard states: ”Crystal Palace have opened talks with seven players out of contract this summer, including captain Joel Ward.

“Will Hughes has already extended his stay, signing a new one-year deal last week and Eagles’ sporting director Dougie Freedman — wanted by Newcastle — has opened conversations this week with others set to become free agents in July.

“As well as Ward, the futures of Nathaniel Clyne, James Tomkins, Jairo Riedewald, Nathan Ferguson and Remi Matthews are all uncertain.

“A number of major Premier League clubs continue to track Guehi, and he could leave Palace this summer for a new challenge.

“So could Michael Olise, who is enjoying his best campaign in a Palace shirt and is one of the key figures Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Manchester United are considering moving for ahead of next season.”

Wrexham linked with Vardy move

The future of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy remains unclear, with the veteran yet to sign fresh terms with the Foxes.

Instead, the Daily Mail suggests that Wrexham might offer him a new challenge in League One.

The paper writes: “Wrexham director Humphrey Ker hasn’t ruled out the possibility of the Red Dragons making an audacious move for Jamie Vardy, with the striker out of contract at the end of the campaign.

“The Welsh club, owned by Hollywood A-Listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, saw their fairy tale rise back up the football pyramid continued this season and they enjoyed a second successive promotion.

“Phil Parkinson’s side finished second on their return to League Two and will be playing in the third tier next season.

“The 37-year-old hit 20 goals to see the Foxes bounce straight back to the big time, however, his deal runs out at the end of the season and yet to sign a new contract with the club. “

Newcastle prepare to sell marquee name

Newcastle United could have to sell one of their star players this summer in order to balance the books for Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Alexander Isak had been suggested as one potential sacrifice, but the Mirror seems to think he will be kept on.

The paper explains: “Agents are nervous ahead of the summer transfer window amid fears Premier League clubs will have to be cautious again.

“It is a situation which affects clubs at all levels because big clubs might have to sell and balance the books to bring in significant signings while mid-table teams are even holding off on Championship players who are expecting to move into the Premier League next season.

“Newcastle have admitted that they might have to sell a big name this summer, but that is unlikely to be Alexander Isak as they do not want to lose their star striker. Arsenal are looking at younger targets to compliment their squad while Isak has also had a few injury issues along the way.

“That also goes for Wolves winger Pedro Neto, who appeals to a few Premier League clubs but his recent injury record and his tendency to miss games must be a concern.”
