Manchester City have stepped up their pursuit of Milan midfielder Ismaël Bennacer, according to RMC Sport. They say that Pep Guardiola has personally called the player, who has a €50 million release clause.

Manchester United’s hopes of selling Alexis Sánchez, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo, who are all out on loan, have been dealt a blow as the Evening Standard claim any appetite for permanent moves has waned due to the coronavirus’ financial impact on football.

Elsewhere at Old Trafford, club officials have also denied Independent speculation that Jesse Lingard has been exploring the idea of a move to Italy and that they aren’t seeking to sell the midfielder.

Mundo Deportivo report that the finances involved in the deal, such as a flat €8m loan fee, have priced Tottenham out of the Philippe Coutinho sweepstakes.


Fake News 😡

A Sky Sport report in Italy believes Manchester United are willing to offer €80m in order to get Kalidou Koulibaly – something that looks entirely out of the question given their recent transfer activity.

Coming in with another bold claim are The Transfer Window Podcast, who say that Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell has told manager Brendan Rodgers that he wants to be allowed to join Chelsea this summer.

Despite reputable reports of late from Spain suggesting that the financial climate will see Real Madrid opt out of making any moves this summer, Le10Sport say they will still make a €22m move for Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.


Funniest rumour of the day 😂

Neymar to Barcelona? We bet you are as sick of that speculation by this point as we are.

But Sport are in with a rather amusing ‘update’ on the story.

Despite all the wangling last summer and Paris Saint-Germain’s refusal to budge, it is now claimed they’ll let him leave if they receive €175m in cash.


What you missed yesterday 👇

After Lyon announced the permanent signing of Karl Toko Ekambi from Villarreal on Tuesday, it has gone rather quiet on the completed deals front.

However, Melbourne Victory did announce that Sweden international Ola Toivonen has left to return to Europe.
