Happy to sack the transfer fee and even backload some of the wages in a bid to send Jones away.
Jones, who now has two years left on his contract and a one-year right of first refusal to extend, is not on a particularly high weekly wage, but is close to £100,000. 90min reports that

Being happy to let Jones go on a free is another matter. Newcastle boss Steve Bruce is a supporter of Jones and thinks the center back, who has represented England 27 times, has a place in his team. Suppose

Historically, No. 12 has been worn by a number of linebackers such as

There is also interest in Atletico right-back Trippier and a number of new approaches at the back, but Pogba's retention will be the next priority.
At 28, Pogba is in the final year of his contract, and if he is unwilling to extend it, selling him at a reduced price will be the only option, just as Varane was for the

Selling Pogba to Paris Saint-Germain for a £43m transfer fee would also be enough money to bring in his replacement. Apart from West Ham's overpriced England steelhead Declan Rice, Rennes' new 18-year-old Kante Eduardo Camavenga, Atletico Madrid's Spanish international Saúl or perhaps Wolves' Portuguese bruiser Ruben Neves would all command a transfer fee of under £45m.
