Lyon are already planning for life without Alexandre Lacazette after it was made clear that he is poised for a move to Arsenal, reports L'Equipe. The Ligue 1 club are currently planning a swap deal with Arsenal that could see Olivier Giroud return to France but amidst reports that the France international prefers staying in London, they are also looking to swoop in for Real Madrid youngster Mariano Diaz who is valued at €15M.

According to Le Parisien, Paris Saint-Germain are willing to keep an eye out for Manchester City star Sergio Aguero if they fail to land their prime transfer target Kylian Mbappe from rivals AS Monaco. Aguero is valued at around £60M by his current club and the Ligue 1 giants are willing to table a bid in the same region for the Argentine.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Chelsea are planning a €110m (£96m) swoop for Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro. The players have been on the wishlist of Antonio Conte for quite sometime now and will be tempted with an impressive wage bill as Chelsea prepare for the demands of next season.

Anthony Modeste's proposed move to Tianjin Quanjia is set to fall through, reports BILD. The FC Koln striker’s agent is understood to have demanded too much money and the Chinese Super League side are considering pulling the plug on the deal.
