Transfer gossip: Man Utd to move for Harry Kane after World Cup, Brazil bid for Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United intend to waste their time making a bid for Harry Kane in January, while Chelsea are eyeing another Red Devils target…

MAN UTD TO MOVE FOR KANEWe start this morning with an absolute non-starter of a rumor surrounding Manchester United's search for a centre-forward…

With Cristiano Ronaldo now inscribed in the history of the club, Erik ten Hag lacks attackers. The dilemma: moving in January for a quick fix; or wait until summer for one of their main targets?

Fichajes believes United can have it all. They say the Red Devils want Harry Kane to replace Ronaldo and they intend to make a move early in the new year.

Tottenham will have to settle Kane's contract, which is currently due to expire in 2024. But the prospect of Daniel Levy selling his biggest star midway through the season when he absolutely doesn't need to seems, eh well, a bit unlikely. Next.

RONALDO ON THE ROAD TO BRAZIL? Well, what about Ronaldo? The Portuguese star caught the eye last night by scoring in his fifth World Cup final and interest in acquiring his services is starting to build.

Al-Hilal is exploring a deal to bring Ronaldo into the Saudi Pro League, says Sky Sports, which comes months after the 37-year-old turned away a mega-money moving to the Middle East last summer.

Ronaldo could also visit Brazil. According to Veja, Flamengo are preparing to make the striker an offer which would see him join the Copa Libertadores champions after the World Cup.

CHELSEA EYE PORTO WILL STOP As well as signing a centre-forward, United must also deal with their goalkeeping situation, with a decision looming over David De Gea's contract and whether they exercise the option that they have to extend his huge contract for another 12 months.

United have explored other options, including Diogo Costa. But they're not the only Premier League side watching the Porto stopper.

Tottenham have been linked with the Portugal international, while Chelsea are also sniffling.

Spanish outlet Relevo believe the Blues are ready to pay the £65million release clause in Costa's recently signed contract extension at Porto.

POTTER WANTS TROSSARD REUNIONChelsea are also reportedly preparing a bid for Brighton striker Leandro Trossard.

The status of the Belgium international contract is unclear, with its current terms due to expire next summer, but it is believed the Seagulls have the option of extending that deal for a further 12 months.

Anyway, Football Insider says Graham Potter intends to reunite with Trossard over the New Year with talks planned on the 27-year-old's return from the World Cup.
