Transfer Talk: Pogba still pushing for Man United exit

Published on: 26 February 2018

Clubs are slowly turning their eyes toward the summer window, and Transfer Talk has the updates on all the latest rumours.

Pogba plotting Man United exit

Despite his impressive display in Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, Paul Pogba is preparing to leave Old Trafford for the second time in his career following the breakdown of his relationship with Jose Mourinho, claims The Sun.

The situation is apparently so dire that Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, is already looking for his client's next club, holding talks with Real Madrid over a potential transfer in the summer.

The report adds the interesting footnote that Juventus have a £53 million buy-back clause for the Frenchman, although it's unclear how exactly they can activate that advantage for a player they sold for £89m in 2016.

Pogba's United future looks increasingly uncertain after he was dropped by Mourinho for the recent Premier League victory over Huddersfield and found himself on the bench again at Sevilla last week.

Liverpool line up Can replacement

With Emre Can closing in on a move to Juventus when his contract expires in the summer, Liverpool have acted swiftly to identify the German's replacement.

According to the Daily Mail, Jurgen Klopp wants to bring in Bournemouth's Lewis Cook after sending scouts to keep track of the midfielder's progress this season.

The former Leeds youngster would cost in the region of £20m, with Liverpool still counting their windfall from Philippe Coutinho's departure to Barcelona in January.

Cook, 21, has made 20 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth in the current campaign after leading England Under-20s to World Cup glory in South Korea last summer.

Jupp Heynckes clarifies that Bayern is not a selling club and dismisses suggestions that Robert Lewandowski will be sold at the end of the season.

Lewandowski puts Prem clubs on alert

Robert Lewandowski could be set to move to England after the World Cup as he seeks a fresh challenge in the last big move of his career, reports The Sun.

The Bayern Munich striker turns 30 in August and recently hired Pini Zahavi as his agent, leading to speculation that he is targeting a transfer at the end of the season.

Real Madrid have been credited with an interest in the forward, while it's believed Chelsea would be the most likely destination -- ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City -- if Lewandowski moves to the Premier League.

The Poland international has scored 29 goals this season as Bayern strive to add the Champions League trophy to an almost-certain Bundesliga triumph.
