Transfers


DI MARIA LINED UP AS NEYMAR REPLACEMENT

Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria has been identified as a potential new signing for Barcelona should they lose Neymar to the Ligue 1 side, according to RMC.

Rumours of a blockbuster €222 million move continue to circulate around the Brazilian, despite claims by Gerard Pique that he is staying put.

And while Paulo Dybala and Philippe Coutinho also appear on the Barca shortlist, the Argentine is similarly seen as a possibility to fill the attacking vacancy that would be left by Neymar's exit.

MONACO NAME MBAPPE PRICE

Monaco would be willing to sell Kylian Mbappe if they were to receive a bid of €180 million, according to L'Equipe.

The Ligue 1 champions are continuing talks over a contract extension with the teenage forward amid interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid.

And they are now set to consider selling, but only if their demands are met financially.

ARSENAL FAIL IN €50M LEMAR BID

Monaco have rejected Arsenal’s third offer of €50 million for Thomas Lemar, but the winger’s sale hasn’t been completely excluded, reports L'Equipe.

Arsenal had previously seen bids of €40m and €45m turned down, while Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev insisted earlier this week that Lemar is not for sale.

CHELSEA READY £61M ALEX SANDRO BID

Chelsea are prepared to break the world record transfer fee for a defender to sign Alex Sandro from Juventus, according to The Times.

Manchester City have already broken the record during the transfer window after signing Benjamin Mendy for £52m, but the Blues will overtake this with their £61m outlay for the 26-year-old left-back.

CHELSEA MAKE SANCHES BID

Chelsea have made a late bid to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches on loan, according to the Daily Telegraph .

The Portugal international had looked set for AC Milan, but Blues boss Antonio Conte spoke with Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti about a potential deal when the clubs faced off earlier this week.

Bundesliga champions Bayern are only willing to let the teenager leave on loan despite his disappointing first season at the Allianz Arena.

MAN UTD GIVEN BALE HOPE

Manchester United are on red alert after being given hope of signing Gareth Bale by Real Madrid, according to The Telegraph .

Jose Mourinho's side could be on the verge of a fresh move after Zinedine Zidane could not guarantee that Bale will stay with the club this summer.

Madrid are hoping to sign Kylian Mbappe in a record deal, with the former Spurs man seen as the most expendable of Los Blancos' stars.

CHELSEA TO MOVE FOR BARKLEY & OX

Chelsea are preparing to spend £50 million to sign Ross Barkley and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, The Sun  reports.

The England internationals have been linked with moves during the current window and the Blues are looking to add more home grown players to their squad. Antonio Conte's side are also hoping to land Alex Sandro from Juventus.

INTER PREPARE VIDAL BID

Inter have made Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal their number one transfer target and are preparing a bid of €50m, according to Gazzetta dello Sport .

Bayern Munich want to keep the 30-year-old Chile international and are readying a new contract offer, but reportedly are not prepared to increase Vidal's salary significantly.

COUTINHO TO COST BARCELONA £133M

Liverpool have reluctantly named their price for Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho, according to a report from Sport .

The Brazil international has reportedly agreed a deal with the Camp Nou side, though the Reds are determined to hold onto their star player.

If the Liga side are serious about landing Coutinho, they will have to pay £133 million for his services according to the Spanish publication.

UNITED TO SCOUT DENDONCKER

Manchester United are set to send scouts to watch Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker, according to De Morgen .

Representatives from the Red Devils are set to attend Friday's Jupiler League opener b

LUKAKU BUY KILLS MOURINHO YOUTH CLAIMS

Image
LUKAKU TO MAN UTD: SO MOURINHO DOES CARE ABOUT YOUNGSTERS AFTER ALL Kris Voakes 08:48 The United manager has been castigated for his short-termism in the past but his record shows he does generally buy young “I knew that was coming… Do you know how many young players I promote to the first team from academies? Forty-nine! If any one of you is interested I can give you [a list].” Jose Mourinho came armed with notes when he first arrived at Old Trafford as Manchester United so clear was he that people were going to ask about his general refusal to give youngsters a chance. Whether at Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid, he had failed to satiate the desire to promote youth despite delivering major trophies with regularity. Academy players were perceived not to have been given a chance as the Portuguese’s short-term approach was given precedence over the need to give the club’s young assets the chance to show their worth. Millions were spent on the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Hernan Cresp...
