#5 Crystal Palace and Man United

So Crystal Palace are extensively scouting for talents and have identified Soualiho Meite as a potential target, according to L’Equipe. They also add that Palace aren’t the only that want him as Werder are also tailing him.

Meanwhile, Don Balon has revealed that Jose Mourinho is going to go to war against Barcelona and Real Madrid to acquire the signature of Real Betis’ Fabian Ruiz, who has had an excellent season with his club this season.

#4 Keown’s opinion

A reunion?

Meanwhile, former Arsenal star Martin Keown believes that Unai Emery needs footballers like his former player Marco Verratti at Arsenal in order to get them to the top.

“The fans want to see a team that can dig in, battle and scrap. Emery needs to bring in a player like Marco Verratti, who he managed at Paris Saint-Germain, to instill those qualities in midfield,” he was quoted by Express.

#3 The want for Seri

To leave finally?

Two London clubs have been linked with Jean Michael Seri of Nice. One of them, according to Daily Mail, is Arsenal. The Gunners want Seri to be new manager Unai Emery’s first signing as the Spaniard previously wanted him during his time at PSG.

Meanwhile, Emery might face competition from Chelsea if this report from Le 10 Sport is true. According to it, the Blues are the “hottest” club on his trail and want to take him to Stamford Bridge.

#2 Updates on Fred

Fred to Manchester?

First of all, we will begin with what the respected Gianluca Di Marzio had to say about the Brazilian. Apparently, United have reached an agreement with Fred over a €50 million deal with Shakhtar.

Di Marzio also adds that the Red Devils want Mario Mandzukic or an alternative in the form of Marko Arnautovic.

Meanwhile, Fred himself revealed that he will make a decision on his future after the World Cup.

"Maybe after the World Cup I will make the choice," he was quoted by Mirror. "Now, I am only thinking about the World Cup."

#1 Rumours of the day

This one has to be one of the most extreme headlines of the day as Don Balon states that Jurgen Klopp is continuing his “dirty war” against Real Madrid over the signing of AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who could be available for €50 million.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are set to make a £79 million offer for Bayern Munich’s Douglas Costa if Juventus, where the Brazilian is currently playing on loan, don’t agree on a deal to sign him permanently, according to The Sun.
