Federico Chiesa
Juventus have entered a four-way battle to sign Federico Chiesa, reports claim.
Chiesa, 21, has a wealth of Serie A experience with Fiorentina – netting 22 goals and providing a further 20 assists in 103 appearances.
His exploits haven’t gone unnoticed with Premier League trio Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea all linked.
But Goal claims Juventus have joined the hunt.
Wanted: Marcus Rashford
Barcelona have added Marcus Rashford to their list of striker targets, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claim the Manchester United star, 21, is ‘on the agenda’ as they look for a long-term successor to Luis Suarez, 32.
However, they also report that any deal could prove problematic as United are unlikely to want to sell one of their prize assets.
Rashford, though, is yet to sign new a new contract and his current deal expires next summer.
United do have an option to extend it for a further 12 months and are said to be in negotiations to extend it further.
Paul Pogba to Real Madrid?
Paul Pogba has reportedly already ‘decided’ to join Real Madrid in the summer – but his agent Mino Raiola needs to sign off on the deal.
Pogba has already admitted during this international break that it is his “dream” to play for Real Madrid – but that he is content in Manchester.
Yet Spanish newspaper AS claim the France international has ‘decided’ to try and force a move to the Bernabeu in the summer.
According to the report, Pogba ‘wants to leave United this summer’ and has his eyes on Spain or a return to Serie A.
Paul Pogba ‘thinks he has reached an end and wants to return to Italy or play in the Spanish League’ writes Marco Ruiz for AS.
But the issue is Raiola.
The super-agent holds plenty of sway in where Pogba will end up and will likely demand a massive fee for his services during any transfer discussions.
Ivan Perisic to Spurs?
Tottenham are interested in Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.
That’s the claim from Italian website TuttoMercatoWeb, who report that chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to pay.
Arsenal and Manchester United have both been linked with the 30-year-old Croatia international – but it appears Spurs could land the first blow.
Reports in Italy suggest Inter Milan have decided to sell Perisic at the end of the season and value him at £30million.
