EURO PAPER TALK
Juventus are desperate to add physicality to their midfield
and are looking to the Premier League with this in mind. Chelsea's Nemanja
Matic and Liverpool's Emre Can are both targets for the Italian champions,
though Paris Saint-Germain's Blaise Matuidi could also be under consideration.
(Corriere dello Sport)
Real Madrid star, Gareth Bale, has been linked to Manchester
United in recent weeks. However, the Welshman has openly stated that he expects
to remain in the Spanish capital, saying: "I signed a long contract…and I
am happy [at] this club." (Marca)
Arsenal transfer target Riyad Mahrez could instead be on his
way to Italy. The Leicester City winger, who had an underwhelming 2016/17
campaign, is seen as one of Roma's priority targets for this summer, the
Italian side's first transfer window with Monchi as director of football.

MORE AGUERO INFO
After missing out on Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea have turned
their attention to Sergio Aguero.
However, we understand it will be very difficult for Chelsea
to sign Aguero.
Since they were bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group in
2008, City have never sold a player they don’t want to sell.
When asked if Aguero was staying, Khaldoon Al Mubarak said:
“Absolutely. There’s never been a doubt about that. I’ve read a lot of the
speculation on this and it’s ridiculous.
“Sergio Aguero is one of the best players in the world. We
are a team that aspires to win every competition we compete in.
“Having Sergio Aguero as part of the squad is an absolute
must. It has never been in doubt.”
BREAKING NEWS Chelsea have “serious and strong interest” in signing
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, according to Sky sources. Chelsea will sign a striker this summer to replace Diego
Costa, who has been told he is not in Antonio Conte’s plans for next season.
NICE TO MICHU

but injury problems restricted his progress.
BAYERN END ALEXIS INTEREST
