Pochettino plans summer overhaul
Tottenham are willing to part with several first-team players this summer, including: Danny Rose, Kieran Trippier, Serge Aurier, Victor Wanyama, Vincent Janssen, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah and Marcus Edwards.
The Mailonline claim Mauricio Pochettino wants to rebuild his squad ahead of the new season, and is hoping to raise additional funds through selling said players.
City could move for Ake
Manchester City could turn their attentions to Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake, should they fail in their pursuit of Harry Maguire.
Having come through the youth ranks at Chelsea, Ake qualifies as a ‘home-grown’ player, something which City lack ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.
Therefore, the Mirror claim Pep Guardiola could be tempted to part with up to £40 million ($50m) to sign the Dutch defender, while Tottenham are also believed to be monitoring Ake’s situation.
Celtic prepares second bid for Sawyers
Celtic are set to make a second offer for Brentford’s Romaine Sawyers after their initial bid was turned down earlier this week.
The Hoops will follow up with a bid of £2 million ($3m) to lure the midfielder to Glasgow.
However, the Scottish Sun also report that Celtic will have to battle West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City for Sawyers’ signature.
Vazquez’s future to be decided
ABC are reporting that Real Madrid want to make a decision on the future of Lucas Vazquez before they travel to America on Tuesday.
The Spanish winger has attracted admiring glances from the likes of Arsenal, Paris St-Germain, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich this summer.
Burnley want £40m for Tarkowski
Leicester City could have to part with up to £40 million ($50m) to sign Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski, according to the Sun.
The Foxes have identified the England defender as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire, but may have to pay up to half the fee from any potential income they receive from the transfer to sign Tarkowski.
However, it is believed the £31 million ($39m) rated attacker would prefer a move to the Premier League, meaning the Gunners could have to make a substantial offer for Vazquez next week.
Koulibaly to remain at Napoli
Italian journalist Aurelio Capaldi has claimed Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly has no plans to leave the club this summer, despite interest from Manchester United.
“I think Koulibaly is a player who has a lot of ambition, but he’s used to living in Napoli,” Capaldi told the Transfer Window Podcast.
“Of course Manchester United is a big name, very attractive name, but now I think Koulibaly’s aim is the big challenge – he wants to win an Italian title with Napoli. So for at least the next season he’s going to stay.”
Juve to offer £120m for Pogba
Juventus are ready to offer £120 million (£150m) for Manchester United star Paul Pogba.
The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford all summer, but the Times claim Juve are willing to part with significant money to sign their former midfielder.
However, United are prepared to reject such a huge offer for the Frenchman, while Real Madrid also remain keen to sign Pogba.
Everton plots £16m move for Delph
Everton are hoping to sign Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph, and are willing to part with £16 million ($20m) to secure his services.
The Sun claim Delph’s desire to remain on Gareth Southgate’s radar ahead of next summer’s Euro 2020 is paramount in his wish to leave the Etihad.
Turkish side Galatasaray are also interested in Delph, but he would prefer to remain in the Premier League.
Mourinho rejects £88m Chinese offer
Jose Mourinho rejected a £88 million ($110) offer to manage in China, according to Sky Sports.
The reported deal, worth an estimated £28 million ($35m) a year with bonuses, was made by Guangzhou Evergrande and is believed to be biggest ever offer made to a manager.
However, Mourinho rejected the chance to work in China as he believes his next managerial move will be to a European side.
Lampard wants Hudson-Odoi to remain at Chelsea
Frank Lampard has insisted Chelsea winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi is ‘central’ to his plans at Stamford Bridge.
“He [Hudson-Odoi] is going to be central for us on the pitch and that is the opportunity that is really in front of him now,” said Lampard. “So that’s what I will speak to him about and I hope he stays.
“I am not going say things that are pie in the sky. I am not going to say: ‘This is all going to be your way’. But knowing his talent he can be central to this team, he can be central to an England team.
Davies close to new Spurs contract
Ben Davies is close to agreeing a new long-term deal with Tottenham.
The Daily Mail are reporting that Spurs are willing to sell fellow defender Danny Rose, leaving Davies as the club’s first-choice left-back.
As a result, Mauricio Pochettino hopes to tie the Welsh international down to a new contract with the club, and Davies is close to signing a five-year deal with the north London side.
