Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premiership!
Liverpool
Mohamed Salah could be sold by Liverpool in the summer transfer window according to reports from France. It is being reported that the relationship between Jurgen Klopp and Salah is a little complicated.
As a result, Klopp would be open to selling the Egyptian, especially if the Reds sign Nicolas Pepe from Lille, a player who is reportedly very admired by the German tactician.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have completely ruled out the possibility of bringing back Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona, according to Marca. According to the report, Jurgen Klopp has moved on from the Brazilian and is interested in bringing other targets instead.
The report also adds that while they are looking for players with a similar profile to the Brazilian, they don’t want the Brazilian himself.
Higuain to move to Juventus
According to the agent of Gonzalo Higuain, the Argentine is set to move to Juventus after his loan with Chelsea expires. His agent and brother Nicolas has claimed that the former Real Madrid forward will respect his contract with the Italian giants.
As a result, Higuain will stay with the Old Lady for another two years, Nicolas added, as his performances with the Turin outfit have been good, which is why playing for another team in Italy is something that is not considered as the proper solution.
“Gonzalo wants to respect his contract and therefore stay with Juventus for another two years,” he said.
“His performances at Juve have been good and playing for another team in Italy isn’t a workable solution.
“I don’t want to disrespect anyone, but if Gonzalo plays in Italy again then he only will for Juve, who own him.”
United enter race for Lo Celso and the Pogba situation
Giovanni Lo Celso has earned himself a place in the radars of many clubs as Tottenham have been linked with him for a while now. However, according to reports, Manchester United have also entered the race to sign him.
United are reportedly willing to offer €75 million for the Tottenham target, 20% of which is set to go to PSG as re-sale value. The Red Devils are very interested to bring him to the Old Trafford, especially if Pogba leaves the club.
Speaking of Pogba, the Frenchman has reportedly set his heart on leaving the Theatre of Dreams with intentions to join the Galacticos, Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane reportedly wants the former Juventus star because of how much value he could add to the Merengues.
The problem, however, is that Manchester United are not willing to negotiate a transfer.
Rabiot speaks out
PSG outcast Adrien Rabiot has spoken out about his potential destination. The midfielder has been linked with both Manchester United and Juventus and he admitted that he has spoken with the latter.
He stated he likes Italy and expects a demanding season up ahead. He also added that he can’t say much about his talks with Juventus and then went on to reveal that his situation being linked with United is the same as last year.
"I’ve spoken with Juventus, it’s a great club where everyone would like to play," he said.
"I like Italy so much, it’s wonderful here. A demanding season awaits me.
“At Juventus? Juve watched me and we talked about it, but I can’t say anything.
"Manchester United? It’s the same as last year, I have to decide. I’m on vacation for now. Soon you will know."
AC Milan and Arsenal
Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has been linked with a move to AC Milan. The player also admitted that he liked Italy more than he likes England, fueling the rumours even more.
And according to reports, Torreira is the big dream of newly-appointed AC Milan director and club legend Paolo Maldini.
Meanwhile, Dennis Praet has been linked with a move to Arsenal as a replacement for Aaron Ramsey. And according to his agent, the player has interest from several clubs, especially from foreign clubs.
However, he claimed that he couldn’t reveal much right now.
“Everybody knows what Giampaolo thinks of Dennis. For now, I can’t say anything else,” he was quoted as saying.
“AC Milan is an important brand, it’s a big name. But there are also other clubs that want to sign him, especially abroad, they’ve already shown their interest.”
West Ham United
West Ham United managed to finish a respectable 10th place last season and one of their best players in the process was Issa Diop. As a result, there is interest in the midfielder and according to reports, Manchester United are looking at the possibility of signing him.
The Red Devils are willing to pay £45 million for the player. However, the Hammers don’t even want to hear of any offers less than £60 million.
Meanwhile, speaking of the Hammers, according to reports, they are leading the race to sign Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez. The report from Sky Sport claims that Celta Vigo have accepted West Ham’s bid of £29 million for the forward.
The report also claims that Valencia’s similar offer for the player has also been accepted by Celta.
West Ham have reportedly been interested in the player for a year now.
