But if Barcelona are going to sign Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, 25, they must sell first to cut their “crippling” wage bill, or pay him less.

“Ola, Florentino. It’s Jose. We don’t want Gareth Bale anymore. At 28, he’s too injury prone,” is something like the message the Manchester United boss left on the Real Madrid president’s messaging service.

Replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, 32, is a tough task. Real Madrid think Gremio’s Lincoln, 18, Palmeiras’ Alan Souza, 20, or, Paris St Germain’s Goncalo Guedes, 20, are the men to do it.

But not Casemiro, 25. Manchester United are ready to offer Real a small fortune to sign him.

When Newcastle United have new owners, Rafa Benitez wants to sign the perma-crocked Luke Shaw, 22, from Manchester United, as well as West Ham’s always injured Andy Carroll, 28, before adding Everton’s injury-prone Ross Barkley, 23, to his squad.

The Ghostbusters were busy so Everton are going to recall striker Henry Onyekuru, 20, from Anderlecht in January.
