Want away PSG striker Neymar spotted looking for houses in Barcelona and that can only mean one thing

- Fortunately, most transfer decisions are not made at the behest of pundits and in other news from Anfield, Divock Origi, the star of the UEFA Champions League semi and finals is going nowhere despite having only a year left in his deal
- Arsenal FC on the other hand have stepped up their chase for Kieran Tierney with the Scot identified as one of the men capable of bolting shut their leaking defence
NAIROBI, Kenya- So after being linked with every big name in football in the summer of building at Old Trafford, it is now being reported Manchester United FC have 'only' 100m pounds to spend to move the team from sixth in the English Premier League (EPL), past Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC and noisy neighbours Manchester City FC to reclaim the pot they last won in 2013.
That amount would not be enough to buy even half-a Neymar (cost 222m), with the PSG star said to be hunting for houses in Barcelona as he continues annoying the PSG hierarchy by demanding a move away from Paris to the arms of his beloved Blaugrana.
The SportPesa News Transfer Juice is in a hurry, so the rest of Thursday's rumours will fly by so fast starting with Liverpool whose manager, 'heavy metal's' Jurgen Klopp has been advised by a pundit to buy Antoine Griezmann who will cost 95m pounds, five short of what Solskjaer has been given at Old Trafford to get the Frenchman to leave Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal FC on the other hand have stepped up their chase for Kieran Tierney with the Scot identified as one of the men capable of bolting shut their leaking defence and in the latest Paul Pogba protracted exit from Manchester, the SportPesa News Transfer Juice closes shop with the 'big' news that Fabio Paratici, the Juventus FC sporting director, 'loves' the Frenchman.
