Manchester City are prepared to offer Argentinian ace Lionel Messi £450m over five seasons should he come to the Etihad, with the Barcelona stalwart also set to earn as much as £225m in bonuses should the move materialise. Messi is in the midst of the biggest transfer saga of the current summer window after expressing his desire to move from a club in which he has previously stated his desire to finish his career. A link-up with Pep Guardiola is thought to be the most likely move for the pint-sized midfielder, who struck up a rapport with the Man City…

With a move to Old Trafford pending, the 23-year-old missed Ajax Amsterdam’s friendly match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. According to Sport, Van de Beek already revealed to Ajax teammates that he would be completing a move…
Senegalese forward Sadio Mane is being touted as a possible replacement for Lionel Messi, should the Argentinian ace leave Barcelona.

Messi pointed to a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for free at the end of every season, a point that has already been the subject of dispute by the Barca hierarchy which has reportedly referred the matter to its legal…
Bournemouth, relegated to the Championship on the final day of the 2019-20 Premier League campaign, have accepted an £18.5m bid for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from his former club Sheffield United. Ramsdale, 22, joined the Cherries from United in 2017 and became first-choice keeper last season after loan spells at Chesterfield and AFC Wimbledon. The deal all but makes it certain Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson will not be at Bramall Lane for the next season. Bournemouth can still call on Bosnia-Herzegovina international keeper Asmir Begovic, 33, who is still at the club, having spent the second half of last season…
