Manchester United could replace David de Gea in a world-record deal, while Chelsea are in talks over a marquee striker signing, according to Sunday’s papers.
MAN UTD CONSIDER £145M DUO TO REPLACE DE GEA
Manchester United are looking at a move for Atletico Madrid star Jan Oblak or Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford if David De Gea leaves this summer, a report claims.
There are rumours that De Gea could leave Old Trafford in favour of a move to Paris Saint-Germain, meaning United have been forced to eye potential replacements.
The Spain international is demanding a new deal worth £350k-a-week, a figure which the Red Devils are apparently unsure about forking out, however PSG would likely be willing to meet those demands.
As a result, the Sunday Express claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now considering two possible names should De Gea leave, but both could cost huge fees.
England goalkeeper Pickford is the first name on the list, and he could cost around £60million this summer, though The Sun on Sunday suggests that he is fighting for his career at Everton due to his poor performances and trouble off the field.
The second name is Slovenia international Jan Oblak, who has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League, but could apparently cost a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.
Chelsea broke the record when they forked out £71m to Athletic Bilbao for Kepa Arrizabalaga last summer, and while Atletico reportedly rate Oblak at around £85m.
