Euro Paper Talk: Shirt No, salary ‘agreed’ as Ronaldo transfer steers Griezmann to Man Utd; Pogba move, fee agreed Man Utd are closing on Antoine Griezmann in a deal that will trigger transfers for Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, while Paul Pogba’s next move has been decided, according to Wednesday’s Euro Paper Talk. RONALDO, NEYMAR, GRIEZMANN, POGBA TRANSFER ROUNDABOUT Manchester United are reported to have finally struck gold in their long-running pursuit for France forward Antoine Griezmann. Reports at the weekend claimed Barcelona had decided to cash in on their €120m summer 2019 signing to help finance a move for Neymar. As per the article, Barca were seeking €100m for the World Cup winner and that United and Chelsea were the main suitors for the attacker. But now Mundo Deportivo have stepped the story up a notch by stating it is United where Griezmann will end up and that the forward will inherit the famous No 7 shirt at Old Trafford, which will be vacated by Alexis Sanchez. Griezmann is expected to sign a three-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of a fourth, with wages, although not specified, likely to be well around £150,000 a week. The move to Old Trafford for Griezmann will end United’s long-running pursuit for the former Atletico Madrid man; the 29-year-old almost joined the club in summer 2017 when he rated his chances of a move to Old Trafford as a “six out of 10”. The capture of Griezmann for United has been sparked by claims made by Italian journalist Fabio Santini who, on the show 7 Gold, claimed Cristiano Ronaldo had already agreed to leave Juventus this summer and sign for PSG. “We can say with absolute certainty that the rumours from Spain about Ronaldo are very realistic. “CR7 is seriously thinking of saying goodbye to Juventus and he would have already decided hi new team: it would be PSG. “He would be part of a stellar attack with Mbappe and would likely take Neymar’s place in the French capital,” Santini said.

RONALDO, NEYMAR, GRIEZMANN, POGBA TRANSFER ROUNDABOUT

Manchester United are reported to have finally struck gold in their long-running pursuit for France forward Antoine Griezmann.

Reports at the weekend claimed Barcelona had decided to cash in on their €120m summer 2019 signing to help finance a move for Neymar.

As per the article, Barca were seeking €100m for the World Cup winner and that United and Chelsea were the main suitors for the attacker.

But now Mundo Deportivo have stepped the story up a notch by stating it is United where Griezmann will end up and that the forward will inherit the famous No 7 shirt at Old Trafford, which will be vacated by Alexis Sanchez.

Griezmann is expected to sign a three-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of a fourth, with wages, although not specified, likely to be well around £150,000 a week.

The move to Old Trafford for Griezmann will end United’s long-running pursuit for the former Atletico Madrid man;  the 29-year-old almost joined the club in summer 2017 when he rated his chances of a move to Old Trafford as a “six out of 10”.

The capture of Griezmann for United has been sparked by claims made by Italian journalist Fabio Santini who, on the show 7 Gold, claimed Cristiano Ronaldo had already agreed to leave Juventus this summer and sign for PSG.

 

 

“We can say with absolute certainty that the rumours from Spain about Ronaldo are very realistic.

“CR7 is seriously thinking of saying goodbye to Juventus and he would have already decided hi new team: it would be PSG.

“He would be part of a stellar attack with Mbappe and would likely take Neymar’s place in the French capital,” Santini said.

Neymar will then be freed up to return to Barcelona as a replacement for United-bound Griezmann, with the transfer merry-go-round- freeing Juventus up to seal their own move for a long-term target (see below!).
