Paris Saint-Germain have started talks with the camp of West Ham United youngster Mateus Fernandes. The 21-year-old Portugal midfielder impressed in east London this season and the French giants see him as a future star.
Across the Channel, Chelsea are busy drawing up a list of coaching targets. Departing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is on the radar, while former Blues midfielder Cesc Fabregas, now in charge of Italian side Como, is also under review.
Barcelona, meanwhile, hope to keep Marcus Rashford for another loan spell. The Catalans do not want to trigger the £26 million clause that would make the England forward’s move from Manchester United permanent.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa have all asked about Manchester City keeper James Trafford, 23, who is keen for regular first-team football.
Manchester United have told captain Bruno Fernandes they want him to stay, despite interest from Saudi Arabia. The club are also monitoring Bournemouth’s 22-year-old midfielder Alex Scott and Benfica’s Colombian enforcer Richard Rios.
Other moves brewing include Juventus chasing Liverpool’s Brazilian keeper Alisson, Bayern Munich ending Nicolas Jackson’s loan, and Arsenal checking on Real Madrid’s Turkish talent Arda Guler.
