Maybe because they know that they've lost out on Mbappe.

I guess he means that Real are willing to sell Bale to United. But United not convinced they want Bale. (may be due to price or injury record)
He knows nothing that is for sure.
That word should be burned with fire. But then I wouldn't be able to misuse it myself, so.....
Lukaku wanted to leave yet he went for £75m. It's a sellers market, they are just trying their luck but starting with a high asking price. Nothing wrong with that. They are not desperate to sell, quite the opposite.
And yeah, €40m is £36m. But as I said they'd have to pay way more before James becomes a Bayern-owned player.
Righhhht
Juventus
continue pressing for Keita. Marotta's confirmation: "We have submitted an offer to Lazio"

wtf does this mean?
Now shitty know more about our transfer dealings than we do.
Hope they are right though
Inter are screwed.
Interesting that in a market where we are 'looking for a player who can attack through the wings' Juve are possibly signing Costa, Bernadeschi and Keita and we seemingly can't see another option to Perisic.
for reasonable prices too.
Would love to have Bale at United, but horrified how much Real would be able to extract out of Woody with all the injury issues Bale has. He seems to suffer a lot of muscle issues which do not go away so easily. He will be missing large junks of the season out with injuries, similar to Jones.
All these Bale links despite Bale continually insisting he is happy at Madrid and doesn't want to leave. It's a boring and lazy link, tired of it now.
Doesn't seem like any mega EPL signings left for this summer, so the press have to go with something.
To be fair Sammy Lee said yesterday about City hierarchy thinking if Mbappe goes to Madrid we will get Bale.
Obviously there is conjecture involved but I wouldn't be surprised if they knew something.
City and United probably have numerous ex colleagues working for the respective clubs. It's not outlandish to think that they keep in touch and discuss what may or may not happen.
One thing for sure - United won't want to leak that we're after Bale. I doubt Woodward wants to look like a bellend again.
Also, I don't see what City get out of leaking this to the press. If anything, it's playing into Madrid's hands. Mbappe will know that they're willing to sacrifice a star name so he can be in the starting eleven.

They were never going to get Mbappe. He wants a Madrid move. Its just a bit of PR from City.
Well the whole world knows we are desperate for a winger now so Lazio would probably demand the same fee as Inter.
Inter whole Perisic / Keita strategy has been flawed.

Metro: Manchester United in talks with up and coming star Lucifer Morningstar
Keita’s contract is due to expire next year so the fee wouldn't be very high (€ 25-30 mln)
The replies
Why wouldn't we take a punt? £8m up front isn't much and if he's a star....£35m to sign is a steal. If not, we don't go for it. I can't figure out why we are ignoring so many good deals this summer.
Traore is Zaha from a few seasons back
He's not good.
The replies
Not a transfer tweet.
Thats not how football works. Why cant u lot get over the fact that Perisic might be ideal for what Jose wants to do?
He has potential
Looks like he might be an unreliable source. He said Fabinho to United was a 100% done deal.
Yeah, sure.I am aware of, and over that fact. I'm not fully in agreement, or at peace with it.
So that's more up front in the loan deal than Bayern paid for James. I swear only Bayern can do it.
