Serie A

Juventus reject a bid for Juan Cuadrado

The Bianconeri signed Cuadrado on a permanent basis last month and have already received a £17 million bid for the winger. The Sun reports that Arsenal have decided to move for the Colombian as they look to sign one or two wide players this summer.

The Gunners are destined to lose Alexis Sanchez in the coming weeks and are preparing for life after him. But Juventus want close to £30 million for Cuadrado to make some profit on the Colombian.

AC Milan and Napoli forwards on Everton's radar

Daily Express has claimed that Everton scouts have confirmed interest in two strikers playing in Serie A. One is AC Milan's Carlos Bacca and the other is Napoli's Duvan Zapata. Both these players are out of favour in their respective teams currently and the Toffees are expected to go through with a deal for either one of these two.

Bacca seems to be the popular and cheap option as Zapata is valued at €25 million by Napoli.

North London rivals to fight it out for Matteo Kovacic

Diario Gol in its special report has written that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Real Madrid's box to box midfielder, Matteo Kovacic. It is said that Kovacic is being monitored by a host of clubs which include the likes of AS Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Real Madrid do not seem to be interested in selling the Croatian but a bid of over £50 million might tempt them to sell the youngster.

Newcastle United to make a move for Lucas Leiva

Rafael Benitez brought Lucas Leiva to England 10 years ago and now seeing his Newcastle United side being promoted back to the Premier League on the first attempt, he is set to go back to his former player for help.

Northern Echo has reported that Newcastle are eyeing a move for Lucas with the Brazilian not featuring in Liverpool's future plans. The midfielder wants to stay in the Premier League for a year or two and this might be a perfect opportunity for him to stay in England.

Marco Verratti seen dining with Lionel Messi

It is widely reported that Marco Verratti of Paris Saint-Germain is Barcelona's number one target this summer. To add fuel to the fire, Goal.com now claimed that Verratti was seen dining with his agent in Ibiza in a restaurant which had Lionel Messi and Javier Pastore already present.

The rumour mongers claim that Messi was there on the club's call to influence Verratti. The Catalans are ready to offer £88 million for securing the Italian midfielder's services.

Marco Asensio's release clause revealed

Real Madrid's Marco Asensio is regarded as one of the brightest talents in Europe which prompted Liverpool to bid £50 million for the forward last month. But Marca claims that Real Madrid see Asensio as the club's future and to fend off interest for the youngster, Madrid has made Asensio sign a one-year extension to his current deal.

This means that Asensio has a deal with Real Madrid till 2023 and has a release clause of a massive £308 million. Yes, you read that right!

Everton are ready to sign Davy Klassen

Lyon want Olivier Giroud to be included in the Alexander Lacazette deal

With the Gunners close to agreeing on a deal for Lyon's Alexander Lacazette, the French club are eager to make the Gunners use Olivier Giroud as a makeweight in the deal. Lacazette is valued at £60 million and with his arrival being imminent, Giroud's importance at the Emirates will understandably be lowered.

The towering French striker needs regular game-time in order to guarantee his place in next year's World Cup squad which can be made available for him at Lyon.

Ajax captain set to depart

Davy Klassen has been a mainstay in this young and brave Ajax team which has caught the attention of Dutch manager Ronald Koeman. He is keen to add Klassen in his Everton squad and Liverpool Echo has now reported that a £26 million fee is agreed between the two clubs and the midfielder is set to be announced as an Everton player next week.
