Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra wants France team-mate Franck Ribery to join the club - if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves.

Winger Ronaldo has been linked with Real Madrid and Ribery, who has been in excellent form for German runners-up Bayern Munich since he joined two seasons ago, would be Evra's choice to replace the Portuguese.

"Many say Cristiano will leave but only he knows the answer," Evra told The Sun.

"It's clear a guy like Franck would be the ideal solution for United if Cristiano left. Of course I talk to Franck about it: I tell him 'you had better come here'."

Ribery would cost around half the reported £70 million Ronaldo is expected to fetch.

Michael Owen could be set for a move to Aston Villa and defender Curtis Davies is one player who would "love" to see the former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker at the club.

Available for free after his contract expires this summer, Owen is a certainty to leave Newcastle after they were relegated to the Championship.

He would have to take a massive wage cut on his reported £110,000-a-week salary at St James', but Martin O'Neill is a master at restoring confidence, and Villa are playing in Europe, so Owen's interests would surely be better served there than at Celtic.

Gareth Barry could be staying at the club after all, after only Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur emerged as suitors for the England midfielder.

Now rated at £12m as his contract starts to wind down, Barry had been angling for a move to a Champions League side. But Arsenal and Liverpool have cooled their interest after Alex Song emerged as a candidate for the defensive midfielder role at the Emirates, and Reds boss Rafael Benitez insisted on keeping Xabi Alonso.

But neither Spurs nor City qualified for Europe this season and, with Villa in the Europa League, Barry's continental ambitions would be better satisfied in the Midlands.

Sol Campbell could make a shock switch abroad if he does not agree terms on a new Portsmouth deal in the summer.

The 34-year-old former England defender has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer in the USA and Swiss side FC Basel .

Wolves and Birmingham are also reportedly weighing up free-transfer bids for the seasoned centre-half.

Tottenham are in the market for a left winger and could swoop for Manchester City wide-man Martin Petrov.

The Bulgaria international is keen on a new start after his City career was derailed by injury, and with David Bentley surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane a straight swap could be the best solution for everyone.

Jermaine Beckford is set to leave Leeds after being slapped on the transfer list following the club's play-off failure.

The Jamaica striker, who bagged 34 goals this season, is at least a Championship-level striker and Premier League clubs have taken a look at him in the past.

He rejected a new three-year contract so, with only 12 months left on his current deal, is available for around £2m.

The 25-year-old could interest promoted trio Wolves, Birmingham and Burnley, alongside Sunderland, who scouted him last season. Most of the Championship is also reportedly keen.

Michael Turner will snub Liverpool and Manchester City's advances and stay at Hull City after they avoided the drop.

"This club really wants to push on from here and become an established Premier League side and I really want to be part of that," Turner told Sky Sports.

Turner, 25, is rated at £6m.
