TOP STORY: United running out of time with Maguire

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has issued a warning to Manchester United, saying that there isn’t much time left for the club to meet the valuation for centre-back Harry Maguire, The Sun reports.

While the transfer window officially closes at 5 p.m. Aug. 8, Rodgers insists he won’t be selling Maguire too close to the deadline, as the Foxes would need to bring in a replacement.

The Leicester boss warns that there is a cut-off point after which the 2015-16 Premier League champions won’t sell, while adding that the team isn’t in a position where it has to let the England international go due to financial concerns.

Sane still part of Pep’s plans

Manchester City forward Leroy Sane is still considered an important part of Pep Guardiola’s squad going forward, Manchester Evening News reports.

Amid speculation that Bayern Munich were lining up a move for the 23-year-old, Guardiola said he wants only players who are happy to play for his club and he considers Sane to be one of those.

Speaking to the media after City beat West Ham United 4-1 in a preseason friendly, Guardiola hailed Sane’s hard-to-find and special qualities and said he believes that the two-time defending Premier League champions have only scratched the surface in helping the Germany international fulfill his potential.

Joelinton to become Newcastle forward

Steve Bruce could be set to make his first signing as Newcastle United manager, with the club linked with a move for Hoffenheim striker Joelinton, according to The Mirror.

The 22-year-old would set the club back an estimated £36 million, and with Joelinton pulled out of Hoffenheim’s recent friendly against Regensburg, the signs are promising that a deal could be completed before long.

The striker joined Hoffenheim from Sport Recife in 2014, and in 2018-19, he managed 11 goals in 35 games. Failing to score and conceding goals were both problems for Newcastle in their 4-0 defeat to Wolves on Wednesday.
