The Old Lady are will to let several stars leave to buy the Frenchman

Juventus are prepared to offload a number of players to raise funds for a Paul Pogba bid, reports the Mirror. 

There is understood to be mutual interest between Juventus and Pogba, who starred for the Old Lady between 2012 and 2016.

Juve are willing to sell Miralem Pjanic, Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani to help fund a massive bid for Pogba. 


Mourinho slams lack of signings

Red Devils boss wants two more new faces

Jose Mourinho has again hit out at Manchester United's lack of transfer business this summer.

Despite the arrivals of Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant, the Portuguese is unhappy with his squad less than two weeks out from the start of the Premier League season.

And after his side's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in the International Champions Cup he has revealed he wants two more new signings before the window closes.


Chelsea to make £30m Ramsey bid

Wales star out of contract next summer

Chelsea are preparing a bid of around £30 million ($39.3m) to sign Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, according to the Mail on Sunday.

Though Unai Emery sees Ramsey as an important figure in his Gunners rebuild, the Wales international is yet to sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.

His current contract is up at the end of the upcoming season, and Chelsea are now set to move in and attempt to conclude a cut-price deal.


Villa block Grealish move to Tottenham

Aston Villa have moved to block Jack Grealish from joining Tottenham, according to the Mirror. 

The 22-year-old seemed poised to move to north London, with Spurs attempting to drive the midfielder's price down. 

And that move has now backfired after Villa were taken over by billionaires Nassef Sawaris and Wes Edens, who have no desire to sell. 


Vrsaljko nears Inter move

Atletico Madrid full-back Sime Vrsaljko will complete a move to Inter next week, says Gazzetta dello Sport.

Vrsaljko will join on an initial loan for €5.5 million, with Inter retaining the right to buy next summer for €16.5m (£15m/$19m). 


Man Utd plan £35m Mina bid

Manchester United are planning a £35 million ($46m) bid for Barcelona defender Yerry Mina, reports The Sun. 

The Red Devils are looking for centre-back reinforcements and have been put off by Leicester's £60m ($79m) price tag on Harry Maguire.

Mina, 23, would prefer a permanent transfer despite Barca's preference for a loan. 


Chelsea and Abramovich keen on Pulisic

The Blues are interesting in bringing the American star to London

Chelsea are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic. 

Dortmund are thought to be open to selling Pulisic if they receive a bid worth around £65 million ($85m).

Blues owner Roman Abramovich has been involved in talks with Maurizio Sarri over a potential bid for the 19-year-old.


James wants Bayern stay

Bayern Munich midfielder James Rodriguez says he wants to stay at the club, despite rumours linking him with a return to Real Madrid. 

Rodriguez, who is about to begin the second season in a two-year loan from Madrid, also indicated he is open to a long-term stay at the Allianz Arena. 


Arsenal interested in giant Gillingham keeper

Arsenal are interested in Gillingham goalkeeper Tomas Holy, according to the Mirror. 

The 6-foot-9 Holy impressed with the League One club last year, with Gillingham now braced for Premier League attention.

In addition to the Gunners, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Everton have shown an interest in the 26-year-old. 


Marseille in talks with Giroud

Could the France international be set for a move back to his homeland?

Marseille have opened discussions with Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud's representatives, reports RMC Sport.

The Ligue 1 side have been after Nice striker Mario Balotelli, but negotiations over his transfer have stalled. 

And so OM have turned their attentions toward Giroud, though Chelea are not likely to part easily with the 31-year-old. 


Drinkwater heading for Chelsea exit

Danny Drinkwater is set to leave Chelsea just one year after joining from Leicester City, according to the Mirror.

New manager Maurizio Sarri does not have Drinkwater in his plans after injuries limited him to just five Premier League starts in 2017-18.

A return to Leicester could be in the offing, with Southampton and Crystal Palace also interested.  


Newcastle accept £22m Fulham bid for Mitrovic

Newcastle have accepted Fulham's £22 million ($29m) bid for striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Sky reports. 

The Serbia international impressed on loan with the Cottagers last season, scoring 12 goals in 20 games to help them achieve promotion. 

The 23-year-old made three appearances at the World Cup for Serbia, scoring once.
