Football transfer rumours: Manchester City to sign Eriksen and Cavani? Today's rumours thought it was predictable

There's only one place to start this morning. Sure, Manchester Unitedmight have won a record 20th league title. Yeah, Patrice Evra made sure to poke fun at Luis Suárez by pretending to bite a rubber arm that was thrown on to the Old Trafford pitch, before hitting Fred the Red with it. Yes, Fred is a terrible name for a devil. But that's all old news now. You'll want to be reading about how West Ham are ready to pay Fulham £4m for their goalkeeper, David Stockdale, instead.



Wait. Wrong rumour! That's not the one! D'oh, there's a reason the Mill's never trusted by Big Paper to cover the major news stories. Everything would go wrong, like the time the Mill was asked to cover the budget and it spent the day trying and failing to come up with evidence of a helicopter that can talk. Still wrote the story anyway. Suckers. Leveson that!



But let's try again. Here goes, the big story from Germany that's got everyone jabbering away: Hoffenheim and Schalke are both after West Brom's Shane Long. What? This is how you do news, you put the most interesting stuff at the top.



[The Man hoves into view, holding a rolled-up newspaper in one hand and a mallet in the other. He looks the Mill up and down, before enquiring as to whether it's had a chance to look at Bild. The Mill responds that it gave it a try but was never especially interested in police dramas. The Man responds by clunking the Mill around the chops with his newspaper, knocking it out. An hour later, the Mill wakes up with a sore head and covered in blood, but having learnt a valuable lesson in journalism*] Bild! The German newspaper. You should have said. If the Mill had known, we could have avoided all that fuss. See, they're reporting that Bayern Munich have activated the €37m release clause for cherubic Borussia Dortmund genius Mario Götze. This is getting a little bit scary now, although it does put a dent into the notion that the Bundesliga is a magical land full of elves, pixies and eskimos when the richest club's modus operandi is to weaken their immediate rivals. You'd never catchChelsea, who could sign Mario Gomez from Bayern, or Manchester City doing that.



[9.30m BST UPDATE: Dortmund have now gone and confirmed that the deal is done. A real-life true rumour!]



Speaking of ridiculously talented youngsters – Gotze, not Gomez –Ajax's Christian Eriksen has been speaking about where he'd like to go next and it's music to City's ears. "I'd like to play for a club like City or PSG, where I could develop into a better player," he said. And earn buckets of cash. Eriksen's comments are bad news for Liverpool, who have been amusing everyone by thinking that they have a chance of signing the young Dane. City won't be done there though. Having lost their title, they're ready to sign Napoli's Edinson Cavani, just as they have been every day for the last six months.



Realising that everyone likes to have a vanity Belgian these days, Chelsea are going to throw two at Atlético Madrid in the hope it will secure them Radamel Falcao. The young goalkeeper, Thibaut 'Fawlty' Courtois, and the winger, Kevin de Bruyne, will head to Atlético in a swap deal that will see the Colombian goal machine move to Stamford Bridge.



In more swap deal news, Real Madrid plan to offer José Callejón – plus a bundle of coin – to Tottenham in exchange for Gareth Bale. It's the wrong José, sadly. Tottenham will console themselves by nabbing the former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song from Barcelona. Finally, revenge for Sol Campbell.

MAN CITY HOPE? 'CAVANI WILL CHANGE CLUBS, NOT COLOURS...'

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani is expected to sign for Manchester City, according to sources in his native Uruguay.


It's emerged this week that Cavani has agreed personal terms with City, Real Madrid and PSG.


However, a source close to Cavani has told Ovacion: "He will change clubs at the end of the season, but not the colours."


Of course, both Napoli and City share a sky blue kit.
