Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd line up loan move for Bale

Antoine Griezmann has turned back on a move to Barcelona and has decided to join Paris Saint-Germain instead,&nbsp;<a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/06/09/primera/1560088973_106277.html" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;reports. The France striker has announced he has played his last game for Atletico Madrid, with Barca expected to act on their long held interest. And although Griezmann has said he knows where he will play next term, his next move has not been confirmed. The latest reports say that he may be on his way back to France, though, as the Ligue 1 champions eye him as the ideal replacement for Edinson Cavani.&nbsp; Griezmann has apparently already held talks with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and even reached an agreement to join.

The Red Devils are widely reported to be interested in bring in the Welshman to Old Trafford, but are unwilling to pay the huge transfer fee and wages required to secure his signature. Therefore, according to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-planning-gareth-bale-16481673" target="_blank">the Mirror,</a> United are prepared to take Bale on loan for the 2019-20 season, with the possibility of extending it by another year. If concluded, such a deal would also free up some addition cash for Real to make signings this window.

Man Utd want Bale on loan

Manchester United have made a loan offer for Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale.

“I sat down with him to talk about all his options, but the same as I did with Frenkie [De Jong], I told him that the decision belongs to him,” Cillessen said, via <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/barcelona-star-makes-matthijs-de-16486690" target="_blank">the Mirror</a>. “Matthijs is a good boy and he knows what he has to do. I talked to him, but I told him that I could not make the decision for him, he knows what he has to do. “I can only talk about good things about Barca because it's a great club and I have a great feeling with Barca. “He is only 19 years old. Barcelona needs players with a very high level and he has the level to play there,” he added.

Cillessen has ‘talked’ to De Ligt about potential Barca move

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has admitted he has spoken to Matthijs de Ligt about the young defender’s future.

Manchester City's refusal to meet Harry Maguire's £90 million ($115m)&nbsp;asking price could hand the transfer initiative to rivals Manchester United, according to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-refuse-pay-harry-16484055" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>. The Leicester City and England central defender is proving to be hot property this summer, but reports suggest City are unimpressed with the 26-year-old's price tag - a stance which could bolster United's chances of taking the former Hull City man to Old Trafford.&nbsp;

Advantage Man Utd? Maguire asking price too costly for City

Danny Rose says he is uncertain of his future at Tottenham and hinted he could leave the beaten Champions League finalists before next season. The England international hasn’t featured as regularly in boss Mauricio Pochettino’s team this term as in recent seasons, and saw his teammate and fellow full-back Kyle Walker leave for champions Manchester City a year ago. And speaking after England beat Switzerland to claim third place in the inaugural Nations League, Rose suggested that his time at Spurs could have come to an end. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-dont-know-what-the-future-holds-rose-casts-doubt-on/hpa5v8bdfrz71s9j0a9mflqlq" target="_blank">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>

Real Madrid may be forced into selling some big names in order to comply with Financial Fair Play, according to AS. Already having brought in Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic, Madrid are planning an overhaul of around €400 million (£356m/$454m) and will need at least&nbsp;€300m in sales to be compliant. The club wants to move the likes of Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez, but with interest in them tepid due to wages, players like Isco may be forced to leave.

Wayne Rooney has urged&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;to resist&nbsp;the temptation to target world superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale because he fears it could prove a huge waste of money. The Red Devils are in the early stages of a new era under the leadership of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and have been linked with a host of established top-tier players. They are eager to rival neighbours&nbsp;Manchester City, who have pulled away to become the leading side in the Premier League, while United failed even to qualify for next season's&nbsp;Champions League. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ronaldo-messi-or-bale-man-utd-better-off-building-for-the-future-/nim0jrwn40vl1apvef12inh75" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan has distanced himself from reports claiming he is ready to leave San Siro. “I am not talking about the transfer market, I have always been on a team for many years and it would be strange if I left Inter after just one season," said the Belgian.

Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has said the Red Devils should focus on signing younger players with potential, compared to more expensive, older stars. “For Ole, I think the first thing he’s got to do is try and build the squad,” Rooney told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0005pfp" target="_blank">BBC Radio Five Live’s</a> Sportsweek programme. “I don’t think bringing one or two players in for over £100million is going to really help with the squad and the players who are there. “I think he needs to try and look at maybe five or six players who have got potential to be top players but you’re not spending £120, £130million on these players. “You could bring (Cristiano) Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and (Lionel) Messi in, or Gareth Bale for instance, and it’s going to cost you £300, £350million (for) which you’d get what? Maybe two years out of Ronaldo, a couple of years out of Ramos and then you’ve written that money off.”

Football journalist Duncan Castles has said Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will not allow Anthony Martial to leave the club this summer as he was one of his signings, despite manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanting to selling the winger. “Perhaps Solskjaer would like to move Anthony Martial on having seen the drop in his performance after he got his new contract,”Castles told <a href="https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/fnbx8-5a58f/The-Transfer-Window-Podcast" target="_blank">The Transfer Window podcast</a>. “Although, we’ve seen it reported elsewhere that at least one of the Glazers does not want Martial to be sold and I would suspect Ed Woodward would be in the same camp as he has always had a great reluctance at selling any of his own signings.”

Tottenham will make a bid for Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon later this summer, according to<a href="https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/spurs-transfer-news-sessegnon-liverpool-16400970" target="_blank"> football.london</a>.

The north London club will however, wait until Sessegnon’s involvement with England at the European under-21 Championships has concluded before making a formal bid. Manchester United, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in the 19-year-old, but Sessegnon is believed to be keen on a move to Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham.
