Bild Reliability: 4 Borussia Dortmund are considering the option of bringing back winger Jadon Sancho, who is currently representing Manchester United, according to BILD. According to the source, Borussia Dortmund are planning to include one of its players in the deal for the transfer of Sancho. Manchester United are said to be interested in Donyell Malen, whom the Hornets are open to sell for €30+ million. PSG beat Barca in "battle for Moscardo" Sport.es Reliability: 4 PSG are close to securing the services of Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo. The Parisians and the footballer have already reached an agreement over the salary amount. Now the club’s sporting advisor Luis Campos has arrived in Brazil in order to negotiate a transfer fee with Timão. Negotiations are ongoing, so far the sum of around 25 million euros is discussed. Barcelona also claimed Moscardo, but lost the race. The Catalans’ sporting director, Deco, was in constant contact with Corinthians, but his tactics of inviting the player did not bring much success. In fact, the Spanish side tried to take advantage of the fact that talks between Chelsea and Corinthians regarding Gabriel had reached a stalemate. The English side was willing to pay 21 million euros plus 4 million in add-ons — however, the Brazilian club owns only 80% of the rights to the performer, so they wanted to receive 30 million for his departure. Here’s how Man City wanted to sign Messi Sport.es Reliability: 4 Former Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has revealed the club tried to sign Lionel Messi on the same day that Sheikh Mansour completed his takeover. Mansour completed his £200 million takeover of Manchester City in 2008 and immediately attempted to bring in some of the game's biggest names, according to Hughes. The new owner targeted Messi, but was unsuccessful in his attempts to land the Argentina international, and eventually made Robinho the first signing of a new era at the club. Hughes told William Hill and Footy Accumulators' podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football: “It was a crazy day, there were bids going out for Lionel Messi and all sorts! We finally managed to get Robinho over the line which was a hell of a statement, and the rest is history. There's probably a grain of truth in the rumor that Robinho thought he was actually signing for Manchester United. He certainly didn't recognize me when he turned up, he was probably expecting to see Sir Alex Ferguson at the airport! He was probably a bit disappointed to say the least.”
