Marco Verratti on Manchester United's radar, Hazard lobbies for Nainggolan

TOP STORY: United 'poised for big Verratti bid'

New Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to have grand plans for a new-look midfield -- and a crucial element of those plans is Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti, Corriere dello Sport has reported.
The Italian paper claims United are ready to pay French champions PSG a whopping £79 million (€100m) for Italy international Verratti, who was linked with a switch to Real Madrid earlier this year.
And Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose arrival at Old Trafford is widely believed to be imminent, wants to be reunited with former Parc des Princes colleague Verratti once he gets to Manchester.
But the powers that be at PSG have stressed they are keen to do all they can to keep hold of Verratti, who is under contract until 2020.
Meanwhile, could Mourinho's hopes of signing Real Madrid and Germany star Toni Kroos be thwarted?
The Sun thinks they could, saying Real Madrid's interest in Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is about to hurl a spanner into the works.
Why? Because Real "are in prime position to sign French midfield ace Pogba" and the move "could hinge on Juve taking Kroos in part-exchange."
Citing reports in Spain, the Sun tells us Real "will be told they need to cough up an astonishing £94m plus Kroos in order to sign Pogba."

Vardy contemplating Over Arsenal Move & 3 Reasons Why He Should Stay At The King Power.

It is been believed that Arsenal football team has tabled the sum of  £20 million bid just for leicester forward Vardy, which is big enough to pave way for the release clause in his contract. Claudio Ranieri the leicester boss is reported to have confirmed a bid to Gazzetta dello and its believed that medical could take place in the next 24 hours.  Wenger the Arsenal  boss will sees the fee as a bargain considering the fact that he has previously argued Leicester's star striker was actually worth £30 million.

However, its not quite candid of  Vardy joining arsenal and he could as well be making a huge mistake if he chooses to go to the Emirate stadium there by leaving the King Power Stadium so soon after an impressive season from the foxes this season which saw him scored 24 times and score in a record 11 consecutive Epl games. This are the some reasons Vardy should consider against leaving before making  the biggest decisions of his career .

Vardy is an icon at Leicester.
 As long as the King Power is concerned,Vardy is been idolised and the whole team plays through him.  He is the main name on Ranieri's team sheet and its said to be on a very competitive contract, Although Arsenal may struggle to match his reputed £90,000-per-week wages and the so owners will probably increase them further in a last-ditch bid just to see him stay at the club and as well to keep him,Vardy isn't experiencing a higher level of football at Emirates Stadium.

This isn't the right time to leave.

If  he stays until January, may be when Leicester are knocked out of the Champions League or going down in the league table, then he will be allowed to make a choice of his own, by so doing, Vardy can plot his next move, while at the same time helping Leicester fight on multiple fronts as well.

Age Factor.

Its not a story anymore because currently, Vardy is 29 years and this can as well be used as both an incentive to move elsewhere or stay at Leicester the choice is just his. it could be that it will be argued that Vardy has one big made a huge decision his left in him and if he doesn't make it now he will never play for an top club. he is almost coming to the peak of his career.

 with this few reasons, i see no reason why vardy should leave king power because they will play a champions league foot ball next season and that will add to his credit.
