United linked with Real Madrid duo, Chelsea set to hijack City deal for Spurs star - Transfer News

17 May 2017 09:19

Gareth Bale has been linked with a surprise summer move to Manchester United.

United have been rumoured to be signing both Antoine Griezmann and James Rodriguez at the end of the season, but now TalkSPORT claims Bale is pondering a switch to Old Trafford, with the Daily Mirror adding that the Wales international would prefer United over moves to Tottenham or Chelsea.

Despite this link, the speculation over Rodriguez's potential switch to United is hotting up, with the Daily Star writing that the midfielder's family have told him to leave Real Madrid. The Sun, however, reports that a deal is not on the verge of being agreed.

In a recurring link between United and Real Madrid, the Spanish giants will beat their Premier League counterparts to the summer signing of Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, according to Spanish newspaper Don Balon.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Chelsea are ready to hijack Manchester City's attempts to sign Kyle Walker.

The Tottenham right-back could be set for a summer exit, with City the favourites to sign him, but the Premier League champions are preparing a £40million move.

Swansea want to sign John Terry after his impending exit from Chelsea, according to the Daily Express.
