Real Madrid eye Raheem Sterling

Having been rejected by Kylian Mbappe, it will be fascinating to see where Real Madrid go next.

The Daily Star claim they are now turning attentions to Raheem Sterling, seemingly constantly linked with a move away from Manchester City.

Sterling has often suggested he would be keen to try himself abroad and, with his contract set to expire in 2023, would appear to be a natural target for leading clubs around the world.

Everton look to shore up their defense

It does not take a genius to work out to suggest Everton’s defense needs improvement.

Having come so close to losing their top-flight status this season, Frank Lampard will be keen to ensure his team are much better prepared heading into the first full campaign under his watch.

To that end, Football Insider claims the club are lining up a move for Burnley defender, James Tarkowski.

Out of contract this summer, Everton are reportedly ready to offer the defender £ 120k-per-week to ward off interest from Newcastle.

Arsenal handed Tielemans boost

Youri Tielemans WILL consider a move to Arsenal, despite it meaning Europa League football next season.

The Telegraph report on the Leicester playmaker seeking a move to the Champions League ahead of his contract expiring next summer, making him available for potentially just £ 25million.

However, Tielemans is now also open to the idea of ​​a stint in Europe’s secondary competition as he surveys his summer options.

Liverpool make early moves

Having confirmed the signing of Fulham winger Fabio Carvalho yesterday, Liverpool are seeking another big young talent.

Calvin Ramsay, Aberdeen’s 18-year-old defender, is reportedly another major target but Leeds have also been linked with the youngster.

Pogback V2.0

Juventus bosses Pavel Nedved and Maurizio Arrivabene will meet with Paul Pogba’s representative to thrash out a deal to re-sign the midfielder.

According to Tuttosport, a contract worth in the region of £ 125,000-a-week will be offered to the Frenchman ahead of his Manchester United exit. PSG and Real Madrid are said to be monitoring the situation.

The Bianconeri are set to be busy in the coming weeks with Angel Di Maria another free agent signing on the horizon, on a similar wage to Pogba.

Howe: Big summer for Newcastle

Few clubs are likely to be linked with more players this summer than Newcastle.

The Magpies are expected to splash the cash as their new owners look for a quick rise up the Premier League and manager Eddie Howe believes there is no time to waste as he quickly moves on from a successful season, capped with a win away to Burnley on the last day.

“I was joking to someone that the planning would start on the coach on the way back,” Howe said.

“Really it starts straight away, you have to.

“The Premier League moves so quickly, the competition is so strong, you have to try and be ahead of the game. We have to try and be sensible about what we do this summer. We know it’s a big time for the club. ”

ICYMI: Forster nearing Spurs move

It sounds like it could be a busy summer at Tottenham as Antonio Conte bolsters his squad.

The Telegraph reports that there could be six new arrivals before the start of the new season, with the first of those likely to be Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

He’s out of contract this summer and is believed to be having a medical at Spurs this week as his move nears completion.

Neves: We all have dreams

Ruben Neves has hinted that he could be on the move this summer should an opportunity present itself.

Barcelona have been linked with a move for the Wolves midfielder and comments he gave after the final game of the season would suggest Neves may be considering a new challenge.

“Everyone knows about what football is about, what our lives are about,” Neves told The Athletic.

“Our careers are really short, we need to take the opportunities we have. Of course, all of us have dreams and we need to live those dreams in a short space of time.

“Let’s see what happens. I can not say too much about it. ”

What could have been …

Plenty has been said and written about Kylian Mbappe over the last couple of days, after he signed a new deal at PSG.

It’s left Real Madrid furious, with the Spanish side seemingly on the verge of signing the Frenchman for almost a year.

However, it was not just Real and PSG that were interested parties, as Mbappe has revealed in an interview with the Telegraph.

“I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favorite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool,” he said.

“But things were not over for me at PSG.”
