Cristiano Ronaldo ‘offered shock Euro return’, Prem duo battle for Mount, Messi exit updates

CRISTIANO RONALDO has been offered a shock move to German giants Bayern Munich, according to reports.

While, Arsenal and Manchester United are plotting a summer move for Mason Mount – though Chelsea have not given up hope of the England star signing a new deal.

And we have the very latest on Lionel Messi’s future, with the superstar set to leave PSG at the end of the season.

Just Du It

Chelsea have reportedly put forward a £70m offer for Dusan Vlahovic – but face competition from Manchester United.

The goal-shy Blues and the Red Devils will both be targeting frontmen this summer.

ESPN claim Chelsea have already gone all out for the 23-year-old Serbian, who has impressed at Juventus.

While Football Transfers reports that United, who have been heavily linked to Harry Kane, are also keen on the striker.

Red Devils target speaks out

Manchester United target Harry Kane fired a clear message at Daniel Levy by claiming “a lot needs to change” to stop Spurs being “failures”.

Chairman Levy was taunted after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Brentford.

And Kane, who may have played his last home game for Tottenham, said: “A lot needs to change here for us to start being successful again.

“There is a conversation to be had in terms of the failures of the club.

“My focus is to enjoy this final week as much as possible and try and finish the season with a win.

“I am focused on this season and trying to help the team as much as possible. That is all I can do.”

Dean Henderson in permanent exit

Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Manchester United star Dean Henderson on a permanent deal, according to reports.

The goalkeeper joined Forest last summer in a loan deal until the end of the season.

And now the club want to tie him down for the future after securing their Premier League spot for next season with a 1-0 win over Arsenal.

According to Manchester Evening News, Forest are prepared to spend £30million on the shot-stopper.

And it is believed Henderson would be open to the move as he would have a regular spot in the team ahead of Euro 2024.

Kasper Schmeichel future in doubt

Nice will allow Kasper Schmeichel to leave the club this summer, according to reports.

Schmeichel, 36, joined the Ligue 1 side in a shock transfer from Leicester last summer after an 11-year spell at the King Power.

He has kept 11 clean sheets in 34 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season, helping the club to achieve the second-best defensive record in the division.

But despite his efforts, Schemichel’s future at the Allianz Riviera is in doubt.

According to French outlet L’Equipe, Nice will not stand in the way of the goalkeeper if he decides leave the club this summer.

Several members of the squad are said to be growing annoyed by Schmeichel’s training methods.

His lack of leadership, along with his preference to manage himself, is causing tensions to rise.

If Schmeichel does depart, reserve goalkeeper Marcin Bulka will likely step up to become the club’s No 1.

Man Utd target’s form dip

Manchester United’s interest in Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund has played a part in his dip in form, his manager has revealed.

The Red Devils are in the market for someone to lead the line for Erik ten Hag’s side next season.

And Danish attacker Hojlund, 20, has been the subject of rumours around an Old Trafford move as a result of his superb performances.

But in recent months he has dropped off, with just one goal in his last seven Serie A appearances – which came at the weekend.

And while Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini recognises there are numerous reasons for this, he insists transfer speculation has been one of them.

Speaking to Tuttosport, he said: “The qualities are all there, at the beginning we had to get to know him but he immediately stood out for his great will to break through.

“He did very well after the first stop [part of the season], then he was called up to the national team and too many rumours distracted him, then there was the [abductor] injury.”

De Jong on Man Utd links

Frenkie de Jong has again reiterated his desire to stay at Barcelona for the long-term.

The former Ajax ace was Erik ten Hag’s key target last summer.

On United’s interest, De Jong said: “The club was in a difficult situation and they could have sold me for a big fee. But I didn’t want to go and stayed.

“Manchester United spoke with Barca, even though I wanted to stay.

“I want to be at Barca for as long as I can.”

Prem clubs on Vinicius alert

Prem giants are on high alert to launch a summer raid on Brazilian superstar Vinicius Jr after he hinted he is ready to quit Spain.

The South American ace became embroiled in a war of words with LaLiga chief Javier Tebas following the racism storm and red card in Real Madrid’s defeat at Valencia.

Vinicius Jr, who had demanded action from the referee after pointing out one alleged racist in the Mestalla crowd, was later dismissed despite appearing to be the victim of an assault by opponents.

The incidents – angrily condemned by Real boss Carlo Ancelotti – left the 22-year-old publicly throwing his LaLiga future into doubt.

He wrote on Twitter: “It wasn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third.

“Racism is normal in LaLiga. The competition thinks it’s normal, the Federation does too and the opponents encourage it.

“I’m so sorry but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. Unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I agree.

“But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here.”

That last comment suggested the Brazilian is ready to force a move from Madrid – with only Prem clubs able to afford his likely £100m fee and £360,000 per week current salary.

Man Utd targeting Juve ace

Manchester United are readying a bid for Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic, according to reports.

According to Football Transfers, the Red Devils are readying to offer a fee in the region of £60m for the former Arsenal target.

Chelsea have also been linked with the Serbian ace.

Prem teams battle for Mount

Arsenal are eyeing up a move for Mason Mount as one of THREE midfield targets this summer.

But the Gunners face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool, while Chelsea remain keen to agree a new deal with the England international, 24.

Mount has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge at the end of the season as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract.

Negotiations between the Blues and the player have stalled during this season.

And that has opened the door to a potential departure, with owner Todd Boehly keen to offload any members of the squad with less than one year left.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea are set to make one final push to agree terms with Mount – who has been with the club since 2005.

But Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd are all circling as they look to prise him away from West London.

Bayern fan desperate for Ronaldo

Millionaire Bayern Munich fan Marcus Schon has offered to fund a move for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports.

The 38-year-old forward was claimed to already be unhappy at Al-Nassr last month.

Bayern distanced themselves from a swoop for Ronaldo after the Portuguese star left Manchester United.

But desperate Schon has emailed Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn to try and fund a switch for Ronaldo, as per German outlet Abendzeitung.
