Bundesliga sides queue up for Liverpool midfielder
Emre Can is yet to sign a new contract with the Reds and his current contract is set to expire in 2018. Although it has come to the forefront that Jurgen Klopp is keen to work with the midfielder in the future, Daily Mirror reports that Bundesliga sides, Red Bull Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen are interested in signing him in the summer.
Can is said to be happy at Anfield but an offer exceeding £30 million would be enough to prise him away from Liverpool.
Arsene Wenger has an offer on the table from European giants
There have been many instances this season which have led us to believe that Arsene Wenger will no longer be the Arsenal manager come May. The Frenchman has many clubs vying for his signature including a number of Chinese sides.
French football journalist Julien Laurens has reported that Paris Saint-Germain want to sign Wenger next season as the Parisians are all set to sack Unai Emery after a humiliating second leg loss to FC Barcelona in the Champions League.
Wenger has been a long-term target for the Ligue 1 side and might finally see himself make a comeback to the French league.
Manchester United target Serie A superstar
Dries Mertens has been sensational for the Naples side this season which has attracted the interested of Manchester United. The Red Devils are confident of landing the Belgian winger who has just one year left on his current contract.
Mourinho has identified Mertens as a potential option on the left wing for next season and may splash the cash to land the 29-year-old. He has been Napoli's talisman this campaign and has already scored 23 goals this season.
Juventus favourites to sign La Liga striker
According to Deia, Juventus are the favourites to sign Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams. The youngster recently revealed that he is happy to stay with the Basque club but the forward has a €50 million release clause which may be triggered by any club in the summer.
The Bianconeri are thinking of splurging the cash on Williams, who is being touted as a replacement for Paulo Dybala. Liverpool are also monitoring the Bilbao striker but may taste defeat if Juventus decide to match their offer.
