Tottenham Hotspur consider Igor Tudor sacking, Andre Onana set for Manchester United return after Trabzonspor decision - Paper Round

TNT Sports

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a stunning move to find a replacement for interim boss Igor Tudor just weeks after he joined the club. Elsewhere, Manchester United face the prospect of goalkeeper Andre Onana returning, while Barcelona have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich target Luka Vuskovic. Meanwhile, there is an update on Jesse Lingard's future after he signed for a new club.

Spurs consider sacking Tudor

Spurs are also in the news as they consider a replacement for Igor Tudor, with speculation that the Croatian could soon face the axe just weeks after his arrival as interim head coach.

Roberto De Zerbi could be an option, as are Edin Terzic, Robbie Keane and former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The Telegraph explains: "If Tottenham do survive, then De Zerbi, who left Marseille by mutual consent in February, could be a long-term option.

"He has been of interest to Manchester United and is understood to be keen on the Old Trafford job, and already figures prominently on their shortlist as they also decide on who will be their next permanent head coach.

"De Zerbi has been of interest to Spurs in the past while there have also been discussions around bringing back Mauricio Pochettino, who would only be available after the United States’ involvement at the World Cup comes to an end, or former Spurs striker Robbie Keane, who is the head coach of Hungarian club Ferencvaros. The Irishman wants to eventually manage in the Premier League.

"Another option has been Edin Terzic, who led Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final, but it appears he may move elsewhere this summer and has had several approaches."

Trabzonspor won’t pay up for Onana

Manchester United may find it difficult to shift Andre Onana in the summer as he thinks he will be given the chance to fight Senne Lammens for a starting spot.

Further complicating matters, according to the Mirror, is that Trabzonspor will not pay the roughly £40 million figure United paid Internazionale for the Cameroonian stopper.

The paper states: "Manchester United have been informed by Trabzonspor that they won't pay between £40 million and £43m for Andre Onana this summer. Onana arrived at Old Trafford from Inter Milan in July 2023 for £43.8m with a potential £3.4m in add-ons based on performance and achievements.

"Whilst Onana has featured 21 times for the Super Lig side so far this season, they have no plans to meet United's asking price of £40m to £43m this summer.

"It was recently suggested that Onana is determined to fight for his place as United's No. 1 next season and believes he will be given the opportunity to do so."

Barca target Vuskovic

Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuskovic.

The 19-year-old Croatian central defender is impressing for Bundesliga side Hamburger SV since joining on loan earlier this season.

The Sun writes: "Barcelona have become the latest European giant interested in the services of a Spurs wonderkid.

"The Catalan outfit have joined Bayern Munich in the hunt for the North Londoners’ teenage star Luka Vuskovic.

"The Croatian defender is yet to make a senior appearance for the club since joining from Hajduk Split last summer for a fee of around £12 million.

"But he was loaned out to Bundesliga outfit Hamburger SV a month later, where he has impressed this season.

"Vuskovic, who turned 19 in February, has already attracted the attention of league-leaders Bayern Munich."

Lingard may extend Corinthians stay

Jesse Lingard’s deal with Brazilian side Corinthians could be extended until the end of the season, according to The Athletic.

The 33-year-old left FC Seoul last year and had been on the lookout for a new side.

The website reports: "Brazilian club Corinthians have completed the signing of former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard on a free transfer.

"The 33-year-old has signed a contract until the end of the 2026 season, with the option of a further year if certain thresholds are met. Brazil’s Serie A runs from January to December.

"Lingard has been a free agent since leaving South Korean club FC Seoul at the end of last year.

"Formerly of West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, Lingard spent 21 months in the K League, scoring 18 goals and providing ten assists in 66 games for FC Seoul side while also regularly wearing the captain’s armband."
