The Post exclusive said Calvin Phillips will refuse any request from Manchester United this summer because he "can't bear to betray leeds united fans".
The 26-year-old Phillips will be the target of many clubs this summer, and Manchester United may seek to sign the midfielder as part of Tenhag's rebuilding team, but the Post said that Leeds-born Phillips is well aware of the hostile relationship between his hometown team and Manchester United, so he will choose to refuse the Red Devils' request.
The last player to transfer directly from Leeds United to join Manchester United was Alain Smith, which dates back to 2004, and there are still many Leeds United fans who refuse to forgive Smith's decision that year, but in history, Manchester United has brought in many stars from Leeds United, such as Ferdinand and Cantona.
With Phillips' contract expiring in 2024, Leeds United want to keep the midfielder, though they may also seek to sell him at a price of around £60m if they can't meet the Englishman's salary.
The acquisition of new strikers remains a priority for Barca this summer, and Lukaku, like Levan and Haaland, has now been a key target for the Red and Blues.
Barca are less and less likely to sign Haaland or Levan this summer, the former is an important target for Manchester City and Real Madrid, and Barca can't afford to bring in the Norwegian, while the situation of the latter is also complicated, Bayern's current attitude is that they would rather let Levan transfer freely after the contract expires next summer than sell him this summer.
In view of this, Barça's sports department had to draw up a plan C, and their third option is Lukaku, the centre forward is currently depressed at Chelsea, and everything suggests that the Belgian will leave London in the summer, according to Marca, Barca sports director Alemaani and Cruyff Jr. have approached Lukaku's agent Pastorello, but the deal will be quite complicated.
First, the transfer fee for the deal may be unaffordable for Barca; second, both sides are waiting for Chelsea to complete the ownership change before seeing what the new boss plans; finally, Barca will have to deal with Coutinho, Pianić and Trincon this summer to raise the cost of buying people.
If Conte decides to leave the team at the end of the season, Spurs will consider Mancini and Graham Porter as replacements for the main target Pochettino.
According to reports, Conte is the target of the change of coach in Paris, but the two sides have not yet made direct contact, the Spurs manager is focused on helping the team compete for Champions League qualification, he will negotiate with Levi and Paratic at the end of the season, and then decide the future, and whether the Tottenham top brass can meet Conte's ambitions to compete for the title will be the key to convincing him to stay.
ML pointed out that if Conte leaves the team, then Levi will be under great pressure, he may try to bring back Pochettino to calm the anger of the fans, but the Argentine is not the only target of the Tottenham hotspur executives, it is reported that Mancini and Brighton manager Porter are also considered, Paratic especially admires the Italian manager Mancini.
