Premier League transfer roundup: Lucas Vazquez to Tottenham, Kylian Mbappe to Manchester City, and more, 26th February 2018

Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day. As you may have guessed already, we have some extremely outrageous rumours today. So without further ado, here we go...

#5 Liverpool and Nagatomo

There is some great news for Liverpool fans here as the Merseyside outfit are leading the race for Roma goalkeeper Alisson, say UOL Esporte. The Brazilian is being chased by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as well, but the Reds are said to be ahead.

Remember Inter’s Yuto Nagotomo? Apparently, Inter want to sell him outright with Premier League clubs West Ham and Watford interested in the Japanese, according to FCInterNews. He is currently on loan at Galatasaray and could return to Italy on a temporary basis before he moves off to England on a permanent deal.

#4 Scavenging Real Madrid

Bale may leave in the summer

In this report from Diario Gol, it is being touted that Gareth Bale has no intention of going back to Tottenham in a swap deal involving Harry Kane as he wants to join Manchester United should he return to the Premier League.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have made contact with Real Madrid over their overlooked midfielder Dani Ceballos, who also has plenty of interest from clubs apart from the Premiership, say the very same outlet.

Finally, Don Balon state that the Blancos are willing to offer Bale for Hazard, but the Blues want Isco instead as they think that he would be a brilliant reinforcement.

#3 Manchester madness

Varane linked with United again

The rumours surrounding Paul Pogba might not end so soon as Don Balon claim that the Frenchman could be sold to Real Madrid on one condition: to give a player in return to Jose Mourinho. And that player is none other than Pogba’s France team-mate, Raphael Varane.

Meanwhile, Diario Gol believe that Jose Mourinho has instructed Manchester United to offer double of whatever Manchester City are going to put in for Real Madrid star, Isco, for whom the Etihad outfit are ready to offer £200 million for the former Malaga man.

Double of that would be more than the value of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Finally, Guardiola is seeking a replacement for Yaya Toure and sees Toni Kroos as the perfect player, say Don Balon.

#2 London

Real Madrid v Deportivo Alaves - La Liga

Chelsea are not just fighting against Barcelona to progress to the next round of the Champions League, they might also just be fighting for a sensational teenage talent, Yann Kamaroh, say Mirror. The Caen player, who is on loan at Inter Milan, has been in great form this season, which has prompted Chelsea to fight against Barcelona for his signature.

Meanwhile, Don Balon now have a new name in the swap deal players for Harry Kane. After using almost every Real Madrid player -- from Kovacic to Modric to Bale -- they are now claiming that Lucas Vazquez is a player that is liked a lot in London and could be asked during negotiations for Harry Kane.

Finally, The Sun claim that Liverpool and Arsenal have joined the race to sign Jean Michael Seri in the summer.

#1 Rumour of the day ft. Manchester City

Things may not be going so smooth after all

Paris-Saint Germain only just signed Kylian Mbappe from AS Monaco, but it seems as though they might have to sell him after all. Why? To please their star man, Neymar. Apparently, the Brazilian is worried that the Frenchman could win the Ballon d’Or before him and, as a result, wants him out.

According to El Pais, the former Barcelona star has stopped passing to the teenager, something which was highlighted against Dijon in January. Even Dani Alves is apparently snubbing the Frenchman as he is aware of his compatriot’s intentions.

As a result, he could be sold to either Barcelona or Manchester City in the summer.
