SportPesa News Transfer Juice: Man United Say No To Bale, Liverpool Back For Fekir

NAIROBI, Kenya- Thursday juicy transfer rumours are brought to you from Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester with other reported moves not worth of a mention, so sorry Aston Villa FC, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and some team from Italy we cannot pronounce.

And we are off. Liverpool have long admired and posted love emojis in the direction of Lyon for their midfielder Nabir Fekir and they are back this summer only that they will not pay the 53m quid they agreed last year.

Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann will soon become FC Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann that is what Angel Gil Marin, the big kahuna at Wanda Metropolitano says, bringing an end to the hopes of Manchester United FC who tabled a late bid for the Frenchman of snapping his signature.

Having been jilted by Griezmann, United have turned to Atletico's neighbours Real Madrid and told them they will not take the unwanted Gareth Bale, 29, off their hands. Hell hath no fury like a Red Devil scorned.

Recent transfer gossip has been De Ligt by Matthijs with the 19 year-old stopper considering whether to accept a 340K per week offer from PSG while this column is trying to and without success to convince the SportPesa honcho to part with at least Ksh 100 a week.

Anyone who is claiming that Manchester City FC manager, Pep Guardiola will take a sabbatical is a lier like the devil to round off our SportPesa News transfer juice for Thursday.
