Monchi to United Manchester United could be set for a big summer if the last week is anything to go by. First they named Jose Mourinho as manager and now they’re set to recruit Spain’s Mr Moneyball: Monchi. United will have to pay a €5 million buy-out clause for Monchi, according to AS. He’s set to earn a lot too. Sevilla owe much of their success to the savvy sporting director, earning more than £150 million in profit in the transfer market and winning nine trophies in the last decade. He can find undiscovered stars, get the best from them and then sell them on for huge transfer fees. Players like Ivan Rakitic, Dani Alves and Sergio Ramos.
UNITED HOLD BAILLY TALKS We kick things off this Sunday morning with a look back at a story we broke yesterday, and Manchester United are in talks with Villarreal over their defender Eric Bailly. Sky sources understand United are not the only club trying to sign the Ivory Coast international, with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain all also in talks with the La Liga club. Bailly is not believed to have a release clause in his contract, which means all four clubs are essentially in a bidding war for the player. That has driven his transfer fee towards the region of £30m, with all four clubs are also competing to offer the best financial package to the player.
