RED DEVILS PLANT $ 183 MILLION DOUBLE SWOOP … BUT THERE IS A TURN
It has been one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer, but it looks like the new Manchester United coach will finally get her man.
Athleticreports that the Red Devils have agreed a fee of A $ 110 million with Barcelona to secure Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The 25-year-old has been Ten Hag’s main target and now it looks likely the two will reunite after working together at Ajax.
However, the deal is not yet officially over.
De Jong has to win with the Ten Hag field that United is the best club for him.
There is also the added complication that Barcelona still owes the midfielder $ 25 million in deferred salaries, another financial complication that looks the Spanish giants in the face, as they already face debts of more than $ 1.7 billion .

De Jong is not the only player Ten Hag wants to meet, as United seem willing to sign Argentine midfielder Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.
The guardian states that the transfer fee will be $ 73 million plus add-ons as discussions between the two clubs continue over the structure of payments.
Martínez joined Ajax in July 2019 after playing in the highest category in Argentina and was also closely linked with a move to Arsenal in this transfer window, although this will not materialize. .

THE GUNNERS ALTIR ETIHAD DOUBLE DIP
Although the Gunners were unable to bring in Martinez, one man they are now looking to incorporate is Manchester City ace Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukrainian, who plays as a midfielder in the country but is often replaced as the club’s left-back, would be the second player to switch from Etihad to the Emirates after the recent transfer of Gabriel Jesus.
Athleticreports that Arsenal are in contact with City for a possible Zinchenko move, but no move will be sanctioned unless the Gunners meet the 25-year-old’s transfer assessment.
Zinchenko would be no stranger to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, as the two had a strong relationship when Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City before moving to Arsenal.
If Zinchenko leaves, he would leave City dangerously thin in the left-back position, although they are related to a Brighton play by Marc Cucurella.

A 35 M $ LIVERPOOL FLOP GOING TO PORT CITY?
The A-League Men could get their second former Premier League player in quick succession, with former Liverpool player Lazar Markovic reportedly preparing to sign for Australian midfielder Sydney FC.
The Sydney Morning Heraldclaims that Markovic, the man for whom the Reds paid $ 35 million but who struggled to leave his mark, is about to sign for the Sky Blues after leaving Partizan Belgrade’s Serbian side.
The 28-year-old played 19 games for Liverpool in his five years at the club, although all of his first seasons at the club like the others were on loan with Fenerbache, Sporting CP, Hull City and Anderlecht.
Markovic’s potential signing would come after Melbourne’s victory hooked on former Manchester United star Nani.
