Maguire confident of securing new Manchester United deal
Harry Maguire is confident of agreeing a new deal with Manchester United, but the England defender stressed he would not want to stay at the club just for sentimental reasons.
The 33-year-old has been an ever-present since Michael Carrick took charge in January, with the centre-back helping the side rise to third in the Premier League and earning an international recall in the process.
Maguire is part of Thomas Tuchels final squad before he makes his selection for the World Cup, where his United contract is due to expire midway through the tournament.
I think theres been talks, Maguire said of his Man Utd future. I think well reach an agreement where its best for the club and myself.
What that agreement is, Im sure youll find out over the next few weeks. But, yeah, I think itll get sorted sooner rather than later, whether I stay or leave. But I think it will it should get sorted pretty soon.
Put to him United appears to be in his heart, he said: Yeah, I love this club. But its got to be right for myself, its got to be right for the club as well.
I dont want to be staying on a sentimental value. I want to be staying because I want to be there and the club want me to drive the club forward still, and they feel like Ive got a big part to play in it.
And if thats the case, then Im sure well sit down and reach something.
'Arsenal target summer deal for PSG's Kvaratskhelia'
Arsenal are investigating a summer deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to The Independent.
It is claimed that the Georgia international's camp are open to the idea, but PSG see him as 'a jewel of their current project'.
The report says the Gunners could pay 'special attention' to their attack this summer, and Kvaratskhelia is seen as a player 'who could offer more individual creativity, while potentially elevating the level of the squad overall'.
But any deal for the 25-year-old is reportedly viewed as extremely complicated, with the report claiming 'sources within PSG see him as a near-unsellable star'.
Kvaratskhelia, who scored three times in PSG's Champions League last-16 thumping of Chelsea, joined the French champions from Napoli for 59.5m (70m).
'Man Utd willing to let Rashford return if Barca don't pay'
Manchester United are willing to let Marcus Rashford return if Barcelona do not trigger their option to sign the forward permanently, according to ESPN.
Rashford is spending the season on loan at Barcelona, who can purchase him permanently for around 26m.
However, reports have suggested the financially troubled club are looking for ways to extend the loan or lower the price.
According to this ESPN report, United are confident of either finding Rashford a new club and believe his value has gone up after impressing with Barcelona.
The 28-year-old has scored 10 goals and registered 13 assists in all competitions since joining the Catalan club.
Rashford trained separately at Carrington last summer before sealing his move to Barcelona after Ruben Amorim froze him out.
This report claims there would be no issue with Rashford re-joining the group now Amorim is no longer at the club.

Caicedo: I am focused on Chelsea and want to become a legend
Latest from Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol:
Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has pledged his future to the club despite being linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Caicedo is contracted to Chelsea until 2033 but that has not stopped reports in Spain about interest from Real.
Although Chelsea will sign at least one midfielder this summer, that does not necessarily mean they are prepared to sell either Caicedo or Enzo Fernandez, who has also been linked with a move to the Bernabeu Stadium.
Chelsea paid Brighton 115m for Caicedo in 2023 and he remains a key player at Stamford Bridge.
Caicedo was asked about Madrids interest while on international duty with Ecuador.
I want to become a Chelsea legend, he told Spains El Chiringuito TV.
Im under contract and my focus is on Chelsea and Ecuador.
Club safe even if Chelsea miss out on Champions League
Latest from Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol:
Head coach Liam Rosenior is not in immediate danger of losing his job despite Chelsea winning just three of their 12 games since the start of February.
The Blues have suffered defeat in their last four outings across all competitions, including the 8-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on aggregate in the Champions League and a 3-0 loss to Everton last time out.
Your Site News understands the club intend to stand by Rosenior even if they miss out on Champions League qualification, although nothing is certain in football and all managers are judged on results.
Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League, one point behind Liverpool in fifth and six adrift of Aston Villa in fourth.
Plans for the summer window are already being made with the club planning to target a centre back, midfielder and a forward.

Salah's four options in Saudi
Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol:
"Favourites would be Al Ittihad. They're having a bad season but are reigning champions. They lost their star player, Karim Benzema, who moved to Al Hilal in January.
"They need a star name and have tried to sign Salah in the past. In 2023, they made a verbal offer of 150m which was rejected. I would put them in pole position.
"Al Hilal are the most successful club in Asia and Saudi. They have Benzema but he is 39. They have Sadio Mane and he could reunite with a former teammate.
"Could he go to Al Nassr to play with Cristiano Ronaldo for a few years and then replace him in the future?
"Finally, he might go to Al Ahli. They are reigning Asian champions and they have Ivan Toney and Riyad Mahrez.
