It’s the penultimate Friday of the transfer window.
So, for the penultimate Friday this summer, here’s the latest gossip.
Real Madrid are reportedly in Paris as they step up their efforts to sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain. Widespread reports in Spain insisted representatives from the Bernabéu club were in the French capital on Thursday.
A makeweight in that deal could be Keylor Navas, with Marca claiming he is close to agreeing a switch to PSG.
There are four experienced goalkeepers on Madrid’s list to replace him, the same newspaper claims.
They are Pepe Reina (Milan), Willy Caballero (Chelsea), Maarten Stekelenburg (Everton), Diego Benaglio (Monaco).
According to L’Équipe, Lille are confident of sealing a deal to sign Renato Sanches from Bayern Munich … if Bayern do not demand too much money.
Sky Germany claimed the Bundesliga champions wanted €30m in a report on Thursday.
Jadon Sancho to Manchester United for £100m? Doesn’t sound wildly unrealistic.
In January? The Sun are having a laugh, right?
Borussia Dortmund turned down offers for the Englishman in the summer and are unlikely to sanction a deal for him halfway through the new campaign.
Mauro Icardi remains an Inter player, even though they don’t want to keep him. The problem is, they also don’t want to sell him to Juventus.
Gazzetta claim Juve will make one final push to sign the Argentine WITHOUT allowing Paulo Dybala to move the other way.
The sales of Daniele Rugani, Rodrigo Bentancur, Blaise Matuidi, Emre Can and Mario Mandžukić could fund the deal.
