Football rumours from the media

What the papers say

Manchester United have seen a £40million bid for Aaron Wan-Bissaka rejected by Crystal Palace, according to The Guardian. The Reds are said to be considering whether to raise their offer for the England Under-21 international. Wan-Bissaka, 21, has a contract at Selhurst Park until 2022 – and neither he nor club busses are in a rush to move on, the paper says.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Everton have been put on alert after Danny Rose admitted he does not know if he will still be at Spurs next season, The Sun reports. The 28-year-old England left-back has enjoyed a solid season with Mauricio Pochettino’s team. However, speaking on Sunday, Rose stoked rumours about his future by suggesting he might have played his last game for Tottenham.

United are prepared to pay David De Gea £20million if he leaves for Paris Saint-Germain this summer, The Sun reports. Old Trafford bosses are said to be prepared to accept between £60million and £75million for the Spanish keeper and the pay-off would be to dissuade him from running his contract down and leaving on a free transfer next summer.

Arsenal’s pursuit of Fiorentina’s French midfielder Jordan Veretout is set to end in failure, the Daily Mirror reports. The Gunners are at risk of missing out to Napoli because the Serie A heavyweights can offer Champions League football, the paper says.
