hello and welcome to the latest football 365 transfer gossip video thing yes i'm a new face yes i sound a little bit like michael owen no i do not have the same magnetic charisma and yes i do have some transfer lines for you so first off we have our daily update on the future of jack grealish sky sports are reporting that manchester city have opened torch with aston villa over signing the england international those talks will presumably involve manchester city saying will you accept 75 million pounds and aston villa are saying no are you stupid uh the guardian is saying that a deal could be made within days which does seem incredibly unlikely aston villa are digging their heels in at this stage there are there have been reports that they're gonna offer they're capped in a very expensive new contract to stay as long as possible and you've got the daily star as well saying that manchester city want the deal to be made before the community shield final they want greece to be part of that squad which again it seems unlikely it's it's one of those transfers that is likely to go down to the end of the end of the window really it's going to be towards deadline day if this happens and then obviously that brings its own troublesome set of circumstances for villa who would have to sign replacements obviously they've got emmy buendia in this summer but replacing a player of grealish's kind of stature and importance to them they'll have a lot of money to reinvest and they'll want more than a few days to do so next up we have an intriguing line on paul pogba this comes from french outlet letensport which i believe translates to the 10 sport they are claiming that mino raiola has offered liverpool the services of his client paul pogba obviously he's got a year left on his manchester united contract they're struggling to get in to commit to a longer deal psg are being linked for 50 million pounds real madrid and juventus are always kind of mentioned in those conversations but yeah it seems like if if united want any money for pogba who is obviously their club record signing still they're gonna have to sell this summer so this claim from the 10 sport is that raiola has contacted liverpool and seeing whether they'd be interested in taking the frenchman on it it doesn't seem likely um from either side to be honest for liverpool they they won't want to take on a player on such high wages um they kind of need to refresh the squad a bit more pogba obviously not an old player but he's uh he's in his late 20s and they're they're kind of pushing for for younger players to to refresh that squad that's been together for a long while obviously genie and alden's gone to psg um so they're gonna want a younger replacement and united are simply not gonna want to let any of their players go to liverpool never mind their most expensive in their history so hashtag levy out was trending on twitter last night it does tend to around the summer transfer window um he's not the most popular figure in north london or at least that side arsenal fans love spurs fans not so much right now um in this case it's to do with the signing of christian romero who's been linked with them for a few weeks now obviously they've let go of toby alda viral they need that defence freshening up they need improvements there desperately um so they've had an offer of 34 million rejected for romero but sport italia are reporting that they've got some competition from barcelona now basser don't have any money themselves basically they're boasting about good credit ratings which is never a good sign for a football club um spot italia reporting they've had a swap deal for romero rejected by atalanta but their way around that would be to offer a loan with an obligation to buy at the end so now the ball is kind of it's in spurs court and again it comes down to money it comes down to what levy is willing to bid nuno espirito santo he'll want some new players but it could come down to a case of turning down say 40 million pounds for romero in favour of offering half that than that village and finally we have news on kurt zuma now as we all know his middle name is happy and he will surely be delighted to learn that west ham are interested in him now as good as that segue was we need to kind of look into this obviously west ham have got a certain budget they're working with around 50 million pounds for all their transfers i think they've been linked with the likes of jesse lingard tammy abraham all players who would take up at least half of that you'd thought but they've also been linked with the likes of phil jones more cost cutting deals now in terms of zoomer he would probably cost around 20 million pounds say he's not a first-team player at chelsea would get regular football at west ham chelsea have got the likes of thiago silva antonio rudiger andreas christensen to get past and they've also been linked with jules day this summer um obviously sevilla are kind of holding out for plenty of money there goal are reporting that sevilla would want it to be around 68 million pounds um some of that would go to kunday's former club bordeaux so it's a case of chelsea maybe using this zuma money if they were to sell to west ham everton have been linked there's a few other clubs have been linked with zuma but it could be a case of chelsea reinvesting that money they would get for the centre half for an improvement in day you
