Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Sunday, July 26.

Manchester United must now turn their attention to the summer transfer window having left their business until late in January.

The Red Devils brought in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo in the final days of the winter window but are still expected to be active in the summer as they aim to restore their former glories.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Sunday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona 'will listen to Antoine Griezmann offers'

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Antoine Griezmann during this summer's transfer window.

Griezmann only joined Barca from Atletico Madrid last July, but the France international has struggled to show his best form for the club, managing just 15 goals and four assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.

The 29-year-old has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2024, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are willing to listen to offers for the 2018 World Cup winner ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Manchester United and Arsenal have previously been credited with an interest in the attacker, who struck nine times in 35 La Liga appearances for Barca during the recent season.

Griezmann missed his side's last two league games of the 2019-20 campaign with a muscular problem and is battling to prove his fitness ahead of the Champions League clash with Napoli on August 8.

As well as the Frenchman, Barca have allegedly placed 12 players on the transfer list this summer as they look to raise the funds needed to sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.



Chelsea keeping tabs on Borussia Monchengladbach's Denis Zakaria?

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea.

While Frank Lampard has seemingly been prioritising bids for attack-minded players, it has become increasingly apparent that the Blues require additions in their defensive and middle thirds.

According to Bild reporter Christian Falk, Chelsea are one of a number of Premier League clubs who are continuing to monitor the development of Zakaria.

The 23-year-old, who would add some much-needed height to Lampard's squad, has just helped Monchengladbach earn a return to the Champions League.

Speaking to the Byline Podcast, Falk said: "It's true but Chelsea are not the only club keen.

"We know these clubs have shortlists and Zakaria is on the shortlist of Chelsea because he is a really good player, but he is also on the shortlist of [Manchester] United and the shortlist of [Manchester] City."

Falk added that it may take an offer in the region of £50m to tempt the Bundesliga side into selling the Switzerland international.
