Football rumours: Ronaldo and Pochettino could be set for summer swap

What the papers say

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, and  Paris Saint Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino, 49, could be set for an incredible summer swap. The Mirror claims that Ronaldo has become increasingly frustrated with United and is looking for an exit. The Red Devils, meanwhile, are rumoured to be keen on Pochettino as their next manager.

According to The Mirror, Manchester United are poised to cash in on “forgotten midfielder” Andreas Pereira. The newspaper says the Premier League club have agreed to sell the 26-year-old to Flamengo – where he is currently on loan – for £12million.

And, also in The Mirror, it is reported that Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, 28, is demanding £225,000-a-week to stay at the club. As the German’s contract gets set to expire at the end of the season, Rudiger reportedly has a number of top European sides interested in him.

Social media round-up

Declan Rice: The 23-year-old England midfielder will be the subject of a summer transfer fight between Manchester United and Chelsea, according to Sky Sports.

Sven Botman: The 22-year-old defender looks set for a summer move after Lille president Olivier Letang stated that the 22-year-old Netherlands centre-back deserves to play for a club that can win the Champions League. The footballer was previously linked with a move to Newcastle in January.
