Kane, not Messi, is on Manchester City’s radar-Pep
Guardiola admitted that Manchester City wanted to sign Harry Kane… but ruled out Lionel Messi’s transfer.
Before the Community Shield game between Manchester City and Leicester City this weekend, Guardiola told reporters: “[Kane] It’s a Tottenham Hotspur player. If Tottenham Hotspur doesn’t want to negotiate, it’s over.
“I think Manchester City and many clubs in the world want to try to sign him, and we are no exception, but it depends on Tottenham.
“This is different from Jack [Grealish]. He has a release (term) different from Jack. Harry is very special, we are very interested in him, but if Tottenham do not want to negotiate, then there is nothing to say. “
Guardiola also ruled out the possibility of Manchester City joining the club in an attempt to sign Messi.
Guardiola said: “It looks like it was done well in terms of staying in Barcelona. In the end it was a surprise for everyone. Of course I included, but I think Laporta knows why today. “
“We spent £40 million on Jack Grealish. We paid £100 million and we won £60 million last year. He will bring the number 10 because we believe in Jack Grealish. Now we are not considering (signing Messi), absolutely not.”
Dawson returns to the Spurs
This is a completed deal or the Spurs…but it is not yet Christian Romero.
Michael Dawson has retired from professional football, but he returned to the Spurs as a club ambassador-it is a lovely feeling.
Romero cheers for the Spurs
The new Tottenham Hotspur signing Christian Romero will avoid the isolation period, which increases his chances in Sunday’s game against Manchester City. Dan Kilpatrick wrote.
After Tottenham and Atlanta reached a deal worth up to 55 million euros, Romero arrived in London from Italy yesterday to complete a medical examination and signed a five-year contract.
The 23-year-old was vaccinated with a double vaccine, and Italy is on the UK’s Coronavirus travel restriction Amber list, so he should be exempted from mandatory isolation for five days, provided that his test result is negative on the second day of tomorrow.
Therefore, Romero may appear before Sunday’s home friendly match with North London rivals Arsenal, but given his lack of training for the team and since the Copa America final on July 10, he is unlikely to participate in it.
Chelsea ukaku talks continue
Chelsea is trying to reach a deal with Romelu Lukaku this weekend, and today plans to conduct further negotiations on a potential British transfer record. James Robson wrote.

Inter Milan bid up to 110 million pounds for Lukaku. Chelsea may still try to include a player in reinforcements-but has seen Marcos Alonso’s offer rejected by the Italian champions.
Thomas Tuchel hopes that Lukaku will be in place at the start of the season. The German is eager to complete most of the recruitment work next week, giving him the best chance to start in the bud and defeat the Premier League champions Manchester City.

Barcelona chairman Joan Laporta said that keeping Messi puts the club in danger “for the next 50 years”.

“Above the players, managers and president, Barcelona will always be above them.”
Lukaku back to Chelsea?
