Now we decided 'don't come here' and what happens in the end I don't know. If we don't find [a transfer], he's a player for Man City and he will be back. He had a conversation between him and the club and they decided it was best [to miss Club World Cup]. Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn't play last season is of course my decisions. We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest. Incredible love and respect and we decided the best is to stay [behind] and have a place that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the Treble or all his career in Aston Villa. Without him, it would have been more difficult in the year of the Treble. Pep Guardiola Copy link Copied By Mourinho targets Son Tottenham star Son Heung-min is being lined up for a blockbuster move to Fenerbahce. Son has only one year left on his contract, though Spurs will not be letting him go cheaply. According to Turkish reporter A face-to-face meeting between the South Korea international and Mourinho to discuss a potential move is said to have already taken place with the pair believed to have maintained a strong relationship. However, Fener will have to splash at least £25million to get the 32-year-old. SunSport understands Son is open to a move, with the historic Europa League triumph viewed as a perfect way to depart on a positive note. Copy link Copied By Sesko asking price RB Leipzig have named their price for Arsenal transfer target Benjamin Sesko. According to Sky Germany, Leipzig are asking between £65-£85million for Sesko. The same source claims the Gunners don't want to pay that asking price. The same reason has led the North Londoners to freezing their interest in Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres. Copy link Copied By Xavi Simons interest Chelsea are keeping tabs on RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons this summer. That is according to The Guardian, who claim the Blues have looked at a potential deal to sign Simons. The playmaker has been linked with a raft of elite clubs across the continent the last few years. That includes Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. And many believe it is a matter of time until the Netherlands international makes the next big step. Copy link Copied By More on Joao Pedro Chelsea are showing interest in Brighton star Joao Pedro during the summer transfer window. SunSport also understand Newcastle are keen on Pedro as they are looking for a back-up for Alexander Isak. And reports suggest the Blues and the Magpies are ready to battle it out for the striker. The Brazil international is valued at £70million, with the Toon reportedly leading the race for his signature. Copy link Copied By Gyokeres rejects meeting Viktor Gyokeres turned down a meeting with Sporting Lisbon amid his ongoing transfer saga. Gyokeres is being targeted by both Arsenal and Manchester United during the summer transfer window. The striker is reportedly seething with Sporting as he feels they reneged on a gentlemen's agreement that would have seen him leave this summer for a cut price. However, the Portuguese champions insist on their initial valuation of £85million. That has seen the Sweden international reportedly considering a strike while his agent lock horns with the club's hierarchy. And now reports suggest the 27-year-old rejected an olive branch from Sporting, who asked for a meeting with the player and his camp to clear the air. Copy link Copied By More on Rashford link SunSport understand Manchester United's out-of-favour star Marcus Rashford is being targeted by Newcastle. The Magpies want to pair Rashford with Alexander Isak ahead of the coming season. However, SunSport also understand the Toon are keeping tabs on Brighton star Joao Pedro as well. Manager Eddie Howe is looking for a striker to replace Callum Wilson as Isak's backup. Rashford likes to play down the left wing but that would be impossible at St James' Park if Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes remain. Plus, the England international's preferred destination is Barcelona but the Spanish champions appear to be prioritising Liverpool star Luis Diaz. Copy link Copied By Feeling Bonny Inter Milan are closing in on the signing of Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. The move will likely put an end to any interest in Man Utd's Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, but is keen to fight for his place under Ruben Amorim. Bonny is yet to agree personal terms with Inter, who are paying Parma £21m for the 21-year-old.

Sky report Barry has suitors in the Prem, with Everton tracking him ahead of a busy summer. Copy link Copied By Pep talk Pep Guardiola has confirmed Jack Grealish's Man City exit plan.

Asked if Grealish's future is away from the Etihad, Guardiola said on Wednesday: "I don't know. "Now we decided 'don't come here' and what happens in the end I don't know. "If we don't find [a transfer], he's a player for Man City and he will be back. "He had a conversation between him and the club and they decided it was best [to miss Club World Cup]."

Man Utd plan to win title in three years ridiculed with Amorim sack warning sent
Manchester United have launched a plan to win the Premier League title by 2028, with legendary former striker Teddy Sheringham dismissing the bold aim as "pie in the sky" Manchester United's plan to win the Premier League title by 2028 has been ridiculed by former striker Teddy Sheringham – who branded it 'pie in the sky'. Sheringham also claimed United boss Ruben Amorim will be sacked if he makes a poor start to the new campaign, after ending last season in 15th place – their lowest-ever Premier League finish. Despite that shambolic season, United chief executive Omar Berrada has doubled down on his belief they will lift the Premier League trophy by 2028. Berrada launched Project 150, the aim of which is for United to win a 21st league title by 2028, the year the club celebrates its 150th anniversary. But after 18 league defeats last season and the failure to secure European football for only the second time in 35 years, Sheringham accused Berrada of living in dreamland with his title claim. 'Omar Berrada's comments are dreamlike,' said Sheringham. 'In football clubs, you've got to have small steps to get to places. If you see those small steps and are encouraged and moving in the right direction, that's when you start looking positively at the future. 'But when people come out with quotes like that, it can be pie in the sky when you've got to give the manager time to get things right. For United, the results must improve. It can't go on like this. The way the talk is – 'it's alright, we're gearing for next year, everything is ok for next season'. 'But I think they're a long way off being anything like the United of old and the pressure will be on Amorim, without a doubt. If he starts the season like the end of last season, there's only one way things will go.' Sheringham, who scored in United's dramatic 2-1 Champions League final win over Bayern Munich in 1999, to clinch the Treble, also said every player should be up for sale – apart from skipper Bruno Fernandes. 'Any player that's underachieving at United would be surplus to requirements,' said Sheringham. "And there's not a lot of players at United who are playing at the top of their form, other than Fernandes. 'So I would think that any offers that come in for anyone playing for United would be very welcome, to be able to get players out and to get others in. Sometimes players fall off a cliff, but I can't see him [Fernandes] doing that, he's still got the appetite to go out and do better and lead by example. 'But if Fergie had an offer of £100million for one of his 31-year-old players, going on 32, for the business end of the football club, you'd have to think about things like that.' Sheringham also said he has sympathy for United striker Rasmus Hojlund, who managed just 10 goals last season, claiming the service provided by his team-mates is simply not good enough. 'We've been speaking about Højilund for a good couple of years now,' said Sheringham. 'First and foremost, I still think he's a decent striker, I just think he's been starved of service at United. 'The way they play, they play with two out and out wingers, no real support apart from Fernandes getting forward. It's all about the service for centre-forwards and he's had none. I struggle to think about any striker that you could put in there, that would suffer from the same service and still score goals. "You'd have to be some player like Didier Drogba, who did things on his own at times, to score goals. Being a young man as Høljund is and coming into a new country and into the Premier League, trying to understand it, I think he's had a tough ride.'

Live Manchester City vs Wydad Casablanca: Score and latest updates from Club World Cup
Pep Guardiola has signalled that Jack Grealish needs to leave Manchester City this summer by saying 'he has to play' – but is unlikely to feature in his plans. Telegraph Sport revealed that Grealish had been left out of City's 27-man squad for the Club World Cup and prior to facing Wydad in the opening group game today Guardiola explained the decision to exclude him. 'He had a conversation with the club and they decided it was best,' Guardiola said. 'Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn't play last season is of course my decisions.' Guardiola added: 'We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest. We decide that the best thing is to stay [behind] and have a place that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the Treble or all his career in Aston Villa. 'Without him it would have been more difficult in the year of the Treble. The fact is in the last two seasons he didn't play much minutes. He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days, every three days and show again the quality he has.' Asked whether the 29-year-old – who has two years left on his contract – is certain to leave this summer, Guardiola said: 'I don't know. Now we decide don't come here and what happens I don't know in the end. If we don't find, he's a player for Man City and he will be back.'
