So The Sun has picked up a story from Corriere dello Sport where it is being mentioned that Chelsea might look to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma as a possible replacement for star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Donnarumma’s agent Mino Raiola has apparently fallen out with Milan and wants his client to move elsewhere.

Meanwhile, The Sun claims in an exclusive that Burnley winger Johan Berg Gudmundsson is on the radar of three Premier League outfits. Leicester, Southampton and Newcastle are going to engage in a battle for the £20 million-rated player in the summer.

#4 Arsenal

Bellerin is a quite coveted

For all the talks of them not wanting to sell Hector Bellerin to Barcelona, it seems as though the Gunners might finally offload their right-back, according to a report from Daily Mail. The price-tag bestowed upon the Spaniard is around £50 million.

Meanwhile, Daily Star believes that the Gunners have made Schalke star Max Meyer their prime target for the summer. Meyer’s contract ends in the summer and a host of clubs are after his signature, including Liverpool.

#3 Lucas Vazquez and Gareth Bale and their potential suitors

Bale-Vazquez outbound?

In 2018, Lucas Vazquez has been Madrid’s most important player in attack after Cristiano Ronaldo. As a result, his stock has risen and three Premier League clubs are vying his signature. According to Diario Gol, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea want the Real Madrid youth product.

Another Real Madrid player that is coveted is Gareth Bale. The Welshman is on the radar of several clubs and Perez is ready to sell him for somewhere around €130 million. Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are being linked with an interest by Sport.

#2 Newcastle and Swansea

Benitez has given Kenedy a new lease of life

So after a great start to his career with the Magpies, manager Rafa Benitez wants to purchase Kenedy on a permanent basis, according to the Mirror. The Toons will have to pay £15 million, his release clause, to acquire him on a permanent basis and are likely to trigger it.

Meanwhile, Swansea City are interested in signing Tom James from Yeovil Town and are likely to succeed in their endeavours this summer. According to Independent, James could cost Swansea £500,000 as down payment since he has only been at his current club for 18 months.

#1 Manchester madness

Alex Sandor to finally move?

According to the moderately reliable Il Bianconero, Juventus want Matteo Darmian from Manchester United, who, on the other hand, want to acquire the signature of Alex Sandro from the Old Lady. Since an exchange deal could be complicated, there could be two separate operations.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are in need of players to strengthen their backline and one of the players that they have targeted is Greek defender, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, who is rated at £20 million, according to the Mirror.
