The price is right
Manchester United have set their asking price for striker Romelu Lukaku.

However, The Times claim Ed Woodward and Co want at least ï¿¡80million for Lukaku, who they paid Everton ï¿¡90million for.

Antoine Griezmann signed in March!
Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann reportedly signed a contract with Barcelona in March!

However, reports in Spain suggest Griezmann struck a deal with Barcelona months before his announcement.
Radio station Cadena SER claim to have access to documents that prove the Frenchman agreed personal terms with Barcelona two months ago.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly furious with the situation and will consider reporting their rivals to FIFA for an illegal approach as they did in 2017.

Philippe Coutinho preference
Philippe Coutinho would prefer to leave Barcelona for Chelsea rather than Manchester United, according to reports.
Mundo Deportivo claim United’s lack of Champions League football means the Brazilian is reluctant to move to Old Trafford.
Coutinho is said to be waiting to know if the Blues have their transfer ban overturned by The Arbitration of Sport.
If they are granted license to spend this summer, then Coutinho could move to Chelsea to replace Eden Hazard.
