Rangers 'miss out' on target amid £8m Wrexham transfer
The Hollywood-owned Championship side are spending big this summer, having already secured the services of Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich for £10m.
The Welsh side also bought Conor Coady - another former Gers target - from Leicester City for £2m.
The Athletic reports that Rangers had shown interest in Doyle when it was made clear he'd be allowed to leave City.
The 21-year-old defender came through the youth ranks at the Premier League giants, but has failed to make the grade for the first team.
Doyle has enjoyed successful loan spells at the likes of Sunderland, Coventry and Norwich City in the Championship and League One.
And that's exactly where his £8m transfer to Wrexham will see him ply his trade for at least the season ahead.
Along with Rangers, Sheffield United were also credited with holding an interest in the defender.

Russell Martin risks Rangers mutiny with startling claims about three players in cross hairs of raging fans
Martin raved about his summer signings but pundits and punters cannot get along with his effusive verdict Russell Martin claims a trio of Rangers stars rose to the challenge despite being panned for their efforts in the chastening 3-1 collapse against Club Brugge. Martin raved about summer signings Joe Rothwell and Max Aarons claiming both enjoyed their best game in Light Blue while Danilo came alive after he reduced the arrears in the second half. But Record Sport didn't see it that way with Aarons receiving a paltry three in our player ratings, Rothwell landing a four and Danilo scraping by with a five thanks to his goal. The under-fire Ibrox boss suffered seething anger from the stands as the Belgians capitalised on disastrous defending to race into a three-goal lead after only 20 minutes and move on the brink of qualification for the Champions League. Martin and his Rangers sinners were slapped with fury at half time and the final whistle but the man at the helm is adamant the bad vibes will soon disappear as he waxed lyrical about his side's efforts in the second half. The gaffer said: 'The first half was completely different because of the anxiety in the crowd. 'In the second, we hurt them as much as they hurt us. We were playing against a very good team so they were always going to have moments when we were 3-0 down and throwing men forward. 'We're seven and a half weeks in and usually at this point you've played only a couple of games. 'We're at a club where the demands are totally different. We've had some guys who've found the start tough but tonight they came through it brilliantly. 'It was Joe Rothwell's best game, Max Aarons' best game, Jayden Meghoma was fantastic. Danilo will be better for scoring and Djeidi Gassama grows with every game. 'There's lots for us to be excited about moving forward. And the tie's not over. 'Our focus is to win on Sunday at St Mirren playing with the same level of intensity we showed in the second half. 'And then we have to go next week and really attack it.'

Man Utd identify Carlos Baleba transfer alternative available in cut-price deal
Brighton have yet to budge on their asking price for Carlos Baleba and this could leave Manchester United turning their attention to more affordable midfield targets Sevilla star Lucien Agoume is the latest name to be linked with Manchester United as the Red Devils seek out cheaper alternatives to Carlos Baleba. United appear unwilling to meet Brighton's nine-figure asking price for Baleba, having already splashed £200million this summer. Earlier this week, it emerged that Morten Hjulmand and Adam Wharton were both being considered, though neither would be straightforward signings. Sporting Lisbon want big money to allow Hjulmand to reunite with Ruben Amorim, while Palace may decide they can't afford to lose Wharton if his team-mates Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi also leave this month. According to reports in Spain (via Sport Witness), Agoume has a release clause worth just under £35m and might be available for even less than that. Other, unnamed Premier League clubs are also said to be in the mix, though one-time suitors Arsenal are unlikely to return for the Frenchman after previous links, having landed Martin Zubimendi in July. Agoume joined Sevilla from Inter Milan in a cut-price deal in 2024, and was a regular last season as the team narrowly escaped relegation from La Liga. He was also part of the French side which reached the semi-finals of the Under-21 Euros, playing in all but one of their matches and captaining the side against Poland. While Profit and Sustainability Rules make a move for Baleba unlikely this summer, a cheaper option such as Agoume could be the answer. However, much may still depend on sales elsewhere. United have signed off on loan exits for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Toby Collyer, but are still working on permanent exits for some other players. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are among those who could yet leave, though United and Chelsea remain at odds over a valuation for the former. There are also questions in the goalkeeper position, as links with Gianluigi Donnarumma persist. The arrival of the Italian might rely on United selling Andre Onana, with Inter Milan said to be interested in bringing the Cameroonian back to the San Siro. Despite losing to Arsenal in their opening league game, United are looking at the positives after a tough end to last season. 'The group, for me, is just, I don't know, there's such a good vibe. We're all invested in something,' forward Joshua Zirkzee told club media. "You can really tell that we really want to make sure that we're not doing what we did last season. Also, outside the pitch, there's some good vibes. We're doing a lot of team bonding. I feel we're much closer than we were last season, and hopefully we can translate all of that onto the pitch and share it with you, you know, the rest of the world who's supporting United.'

England U21 hero put up for sale after ONE game due to dressing room spat
Marseille signed England U21 star Jonathan Rowe in the summer but have put the winger up for sale after just one game following a dressing room row with a team-mate One of England's Under-21 stars from the summer, Jonathan Rowe, has been put up for sale by Marseille just one game after signing for the French club. He has been involved in a dressing-room bust-up with Adrien Rabiot and the Ligue 1 giants are ready to get rid of both players immediately. Rowe scored the winner for England's U21s when they claimed glory in Slovakia, seeing off Germany in extra-time. The winger had spent last season on loan at Marseille, but this summer joined permanently from Norwich. However his stay could be short lived with RMC Sport now reporting that he is available for a transfer. It comes after he and the French midfielder were involved in 'unacceptable behaviour' following a 1-0 defeat away to Rennes It is understood that the two players had to be separated after they blamed each other for the loss - which saw Roberto De Zerbi's side concede a stoppage-time winner despite playing with an extra man for more than an hour. Marseille have claimed that the decision was taken as a collective one taken by the club's senior staff, but is not the first time that De Zerbi has taken hard line when it comes to his player's discipline. The French giants explained their extreme decision in a statement on Tuesday. 'Olympique de Marseille announces that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe have been placed on the transfer list by the club,' the statement read. 'This decision was taken due to unacceptable behaviour in the dressing room after the match against Stade Rennais FC, in agreement with the technical staff and in accordance with the club's internal code of conduct. The decision was communicated to the two players by the club on Monday.' The row in Marseille the dressing room was heard by journalists and the former Brighton boss made it known that his players had clashed when he addressed the media. Radio station Ici Provence quoted the Italian's translator as he said: 'The others beat us on the pitch and we come back and beat each other here. Do you know what that means? That we have small balls. Whereas in Marseille, we must have big ones.' Marseille finished second last term, but were miles off the pace set by treble winners PSG. The French side added a number of ex-Premier League players this summer with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg signing from Tottenham and Angel Gomes joining from Lille on a free.
