Transfer news LIVE: Emery wants TWO Chelsea stars after Jhon Duran move ‘agreed’

More from Guardiola on De Bruyne

Pep Guardiola has confirmed Kevin De Bruyne will spend a 10th season at Manchester City.

The Etihad talisman has been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia in recent months.

And he admitted in the close season the riches on offer were enough to support his family for generations to come.

But Guardiola told a press conference that the 33-year-old will not be going this summer.

Guardiola closed down a question about the Saudi Arabia interest in the Belgian and said: “No – Kevin isn’t leaving.”

Asked what his advice would be to any player who is thinking of leaving the Prem for Saudi or the MLS he said: “Listen to what their heart is telling them.

“Think of what would make them and their family happy – and their life be good.”

Jonathan David bid over

West Ham have pulled out of the race to sign Lille striker Jonathan David after being asked to pay £10million in agent fees.

SunSport has learned that West Ham were willing to meet Lille’s £30m asking price for the Canadian international, but refused to meet demands for agent fees totalling a third of the player’s transfer value.

David is set to leave Lille this summer after entering the last 12 months of his contract, with West Ham amongst several Premier League clubs interested in his services, along with Chelsea and Newcastle.

The 24-year-old has scored 84 goals in 183 appearances for Lille and also played a starring role in helping Canada to the semi-finals of this summer’s Copa America.

New West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui is targeting a new striker after completing the £40m signing of Max Kilman from old club Wolves last month, but his bosses are refusing to make the deal happen.

West Ham have made a concerted effort to keep spending on agent fees down in recent years and paid £13.8m to intermediaries last season, way behind table topping Chelsea at £75m.

West Ham are now understood to be prioritising a move for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, with the Colombian international available for around £35m.

Trevoh Chalobah axe

Chelsea told Trevoh Chalobah to stay at home and not travel for pre-season.

The Blues are travelling to the USA for their pre-season tour and will face the likes of Wrexham as well as Celtic.

However, Chalobah will not be travelling with the West Londoners this summer.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that the centre-back has been told to stay at home.

It is suggested that the club feels “heavy” with defenders as Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo are all going.

Romano added that Josh Acheampong would also be joining the trip as the club want to take a “good look” at him.

More on Osimhen

Paris Saint-Germain’s bid to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen has been dealt a blow.

PSG want to make a statement signing to replace Kylian Mbappe, who left on a free this summer to join Real Madrid.

According to Calcio Mercato, Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda flew to Paris to facilitate negotiations.

This led to a call being held on Monday between Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and PSG supremo Nasser Al Khelaifi as well as sporting directors Giovanni Manna and Luis Campos.

However, these talks have led to the deal grinding to a halt with the Parisians saying they have no intention of triggering the striker’s £109.5million release clause.

The Partenopei did offer to reduce the fee if Kang-In Lee was included in a deal, but this proposal was swiftly rejected.

PSG duo Carlos Soler and Nordi Mukiele were then spoken about instead, though this idea was also struck down.

Victor Osimhen transfer boost

Napoli wantaway star Victor Osimhen’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is on the brink of collapse.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that under the current conditions, the deal is not happening.

However, Osimhen’s Premier League suitors would still need to match his £109.5million release clause.

The breakdown of talks has opened the door for the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

De Bruyne ‘not leaving’

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Kevin De Bruyne won’t leave the club this summer.

De Bruyne has been heavily linked with a summer move to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Ittihad showing interest.

The playmaker has one-year left on his City contract and said last month he would have to consider an offer from the Saudi Pro-League because of the “incredible money”.
