Manchester United have failed in their pursuit of Leicester City’s Harry Maguire and will now turn their attention to Barcelona’s Yerry Mina instead, according to The Mirror.

Everton have been priced out of a move for £35m-rated Mina and will instead go for Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo, report Goal.

Tottenham are struggling to get a deal for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish over the line and could turn to Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook instead. The 21-year-old midfielder is valued at £30m, claim the Star.

And The Mail report that Chelsea will lose Thibaut Courtois on a free transfer to Real Madrid next summer, unless they can find someone to replace him between now and 9 August. The Belgian goalkeeper is now in the final 12 months of his contract.

Fake News 😡

Barcelona technical director Eric Abidal has denied recently meeting with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba regarding a potential move to Camp Nou, report Mundo Deportivo.

But fake news outlet Don Balon say United will happily let Pogba go to Barça, if they can have Ivan Rakitić in return.

And Marca report that Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovačić has turned down a move to Old Trafford because he doesn’t want to work with José Mourinho. Surely the last thing United would be doing at this point is splashing £80m on another midfielder anyway?

Chelsea are hoping to hijack AC Milan’s move for Gonzalo Higuaín and could sell Olivier Giroud to Marseille to make room for the Argentine, claim the Mirror.

Adrien Rabiot has been told he can leave Paris Saint-Germain if the French champions can sign N’Golo Kanté this summer. Good luck convincing Chelsea to part with one of their best players a week before the window shuts.

And Arsenal boss Unai Emery appears to have ruled out a move for Sevilla’s Steven N’Zonzi this summer. “I am telling you, and we are saying internally, we are OK,” the Spaniard told reporters on Wednesday.

What you missed yesterday 👇

Everton completed the signing of Lucas Digne from Barcelona.
