CHELSEA, ARSENAL AND ALL THE
TOP TEAMS
Goal takes a look at the biggest transfer stories from
the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and beyond
ahead of the opening of the summer window
GRIEZMANN TELLS ATLETI HE
WANTS OUT
Antoine Griezmann has told the Atletico Madrid hierarchy
that he wants to leave the club, Deportes COPE
reports.
Manchester United have been strongly linked with the
France international forward, with the 26-year-old
apparently now set to join Jose Mourinho's side.
MOU'S SECRET MORATA
TALKS
Jose Mourinho has been in personal contact with Real
Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, Spanish outlet OkDiario
reports.
It has been suggested that Milan are current favourites to
sign the 24-year-old with a €60m bid, but Mourinho has
allegedly told the Spain international that he can ensure he
becomes 'the best number 9 in the world' at Manchester
United.
CASILLAS OFFERED TO PSG
Current Porto keeper and former Real Madrid captain Iker
Casillas has been offered to Paris Saint-Germain, l'Equipe
reports.
Soon-to-be PSG sporting director Antero Henrique was
involved in the 26-year-old's transfer from Madrid to
Portual in 2015 and will liaise with the Ligue 1 club in the
coming weeks over whether they would like to sign him.
LIVERPOOL MAKE CLICHY
OFFER
Liverpool have offered Gael Clichy a two-year deal ahead of
the expiry of his Manchester City deal, according to the
Sun .
The left-back will not be given new terms by Pep Guardiola
and could fill a position that was occupied by midfielder
James Milner at Anfield last season, but Paris Saint-
Germain may make a rival offer.
CONTE WANTS PSG KEEPER
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants Paris Saint-Germain's
Alphonse Areola as Thibaut Courtois' backup at Stamford
Bridge, The Sun reports.
With Asmir Begovic having sealed a move to Bournemouth,
the Italian boss sees Areola as a perfect fit as Courtois'
understudy.
MILAN IN €60M MORATA BID
AC Milan will offer €60 million to Real Madrid for striker
Alvaro Morata, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport
.
The Spanish striker has apparently already agreed to join the
Serie A club on an €8m-a-season contract, and Milan will
now put the sizeable transfer bid to Real Madrid after the
Champions League final.
LINDELOF TO COST MAN UTD
£52M
Manchester United have been told they will need to
splash €60 million (£52m) to sign Benfica defender
Victor Lindelof, according to A Bola .
Jose Mourinho's men were believed to be close to signing the
Swedish defender in the January transfer market but opted to
wait until the summer to pursue the deal.
However, Benfica are insisting that United activate his
contract clause if they want to sign him ahead of 2017-18,
which could lead to a protracted transfer saga should they
be unwilling to spend so much.
WENGER WARNED OVER
TRANSFERS
Arsene Wenger will be warned to stop "dithering" over
transfers by Arsenal's board today ahead of expected
confirmation of his contract extension at the club, according
to the Daily Mail .
Missing out on Gonzalo Higuain in 2013 will be highlighted
as an example when the Arsenal manager failed to act
decisively on transfers.
Malaga pair Sandro Ramirez and Pablo Fornals are
reportedly two of the Gunners' targets this summer,
plus Wenger must deal with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez
having just 12 months left on their lucrative contracts.
WOLFSBURG TO SIGN US
STAR BROOKS
Wolfsburg are set to complete their first transfer of the
summer window by signing Hertha Berlin and USA defender
John Brooks, according to Bild.
The German club survived relegation from the top flight by
winning this weekend's play off against Eintracht
Braunschweig and are looking to rebuild their squad in the
hopes of a much-improved 2017-18.
Buying Brooks for £17m would break the current record
transfer for a USA player, with Jozy Altidore's £13m
move to Sunderland currently the highest paid.
CITY FACE BATTLE FOR
MENDY
Manchester City face stiff competition from a number of
their Premier League rivals in their bid to sign Monaco
defender Benjamin Mendy, according to L'Equipe .
Chelsea and Liverpool have both accelerated their interest in
recent days while Manchester United are also monitoring
developments.
Full-back Mendy is keen to move to England this summer,
though Barcelona are also keen on the 22-year-old.
MAN UTD MONITORING BALE
Manchester United are keeping an eye on Real Madrid
winger Gareth Bale, Mundo Deportivo reports .
Should the 27-year-old not start the Champions League
final on Saturday, the Red Devils hope that will be an
indication that Bale will be for sale this summer.
HODGSON WANTS PALACE
JOB
Former England manager Roy Hodgson hopes to succeed
Sam Allardyce at Crystal Palace, according to The Sun .
The ex-Liverpool boss has been out of management since
stepping down following the Three Lions' last-16 exit at
Euro 2016.
ARSENAL PUSH FOR ALEXIS &
OZIL
Arsenal will make a final push to keep Alexis Sanchez and
Mesut Ozil, The Mirror reports .
The Gunners hope the FA Cup triumph and improved salaries
will convince the star duo to say, with the club prepared to
offer them wages totalling more than £30 million
combined.
MAN UTD LEAD ROSE HUNT
Manchester United are leading the chase for Tottenham full-
back Danny Rose, according to the Daily Mirror .
The England international has also been linked with
Manchester City, but they are now closing in on a deal for
Monaco's Benjamin Mendy.
WENGER PROMISED £100M
Arsene Wenger will be handed at least £100 million to
spend in the summer transfer window if he signs a new
contract at Arsenal, reports the Daily Star .
The Frenchman is yet to reveal what his future holds, but
is expected to stay on and push for new recruits after
missing out on Champions League qualification this season.
CHELSEA CONSIDER BOATENG
DEAL
Chelsea have asked about the potential availability of
Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, says the Daily
Mail .
The Blues have made Southampton's Virgil Van Dijk their
top defensive target, but are prepared to explore other
options.
HAMMERS TO MAKE
PICKFORD OFFER
West Ham are desperate to add Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan
Pickford, and will offer Adrian as a makeweight, according
to The Sun .
The Hammers would need to pay around £17m to make the
deal happen, with Adrian valued at around £8m.
HERRERA TO REJECT BARCA
Ander Herrera will reject the advances of Barcelona to
commit his future to Manchester United, according to The
Telegraph .
New Barca manager Ernesto Valverde is keen to sign
Herrera, whom he worked with at Athletic Bilbao, but the
midfielder will instead sign fresh terms with the Red
Devils.
BAYERN EYE WILLIAN BID
Bayern Munich are interested in signing Willian from
Chelsea, according to a report from Abendzeitung in
Germany.
The Bavarian giants are keen to refresh their forward line,
but Willian would cost around €50 million, which would
make him the most expensive player in Bayern's history.
DE GEA OUT, VARANE IN
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has set Real Madrid
an ultimatum regarding their pursuit of David De Gea,
according to Diariogol , with the Portuguese demanding
Raphael Varane as part of any deal.
Varane is seen as the natural successor to Sergio Ramos at
the Santiago Bernabeu and the Spanish capital club have a
big decision to make on who they deem more important to
their long-term future.
