A lot of rumours regarding the Blues today, as Antonio Conte’s side is being linked with a move for the highly talented Alessio Romagnoli. The defender has been a key member in Gattuso’s surging Milan side and has incurred the interest of Chelsea, claim Leggo.

Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly has become a subject of interest from London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, who are looking to sign him up before the World Cup commences, according to The Mirror. The London duo are aware that his value could soar up if he plays well in the World Cup and want to tie him up early instead.

Finally, Gareth Bale has decided his destination for next season as Chelsea’s offer to take him to London has attracted him the most, claim reports from Don Balon.

#4 Tottenham and Brighton

The much-coveted full-back

A host of clubs are interested in the talented teenager, but Ryan Sessegnon seems to have picked Tottenham Hotspur as his preferred destination due to the presence of Mauricio Pochettino and their North London location, as per reports from The Mirror. They are reportedly willing to pay £35 million for the youngster.

Meanwhile, according to Le10Sport, Brighton are willing to sign Karl Toko Ekambi from Angers, who has scored 14 league goals so far this season. They are also believed to be monitoring Ibrahim Amadou of Lille and Jean-Eudes Aholou of Strasbourg.

#3 Manchester madness

Doucoure has been excellent this season

So the bored folks at Don Balon believe that Jose Mourinho will be willing to sell David De Gea to Real Madrid should one of four players from Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio, Isco and Raphaël Varane be included in a swap deal for the goalkeeper.

It also seems as though the interest for Abdoulaye Doucoure has reached a pinnacle as Manchester United are also interested in bringing him to their club. The idea is to reinforce the midfield and Mourinho seems him to consider him as an apt player, claim The Mirror.

#2 Liverpool

James to Liverpool?

So Liverpool target Houssem Aouar has spoken about Liverpool’s interest in him.

“I hear the rumours, like you. I have ears!" he was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.

“I have eyes too, to see a few things left and right. The guy who says he doesn’t hear stuff or listen to anything is not telling the truth. But there's nothing you can do. All of that doesn’t bother me.

Meanwhile, Le10Sport claim that Liverpool has advanced their negotiations to bring Thomas Lemar to the club in the summer. On the other hand, Liverpool are willing to negotiate with Real Madrid for Mohamed Salah, should they get James Rodriguez in return, claim reports from Don Balon.

#1 Liverpool ft. Arsenal

Dani Carvajal is a world-class right-back

After coming up with some superb performances for Real Madrid in 2018, it seems as though Lucas Vazquez could move out of the club, according to reports from Diario Gol, as Liverpool and Arsenal are among the clubs that are interested in him.

Finally, Don Balon claim that Liverpool are interested in Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid, but the right-back wants to stay at the Bernabeu since he has established himself as one of the pivotal stars at the club.
