Juventus plotting Harry Kane move
Juventus are reportedly mulling over a move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane. The Englishman has made it clear that he wishes to leave the club this summer, and Juventus have identified him as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus will be able to afford Kane if they offload Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. The Englishman is set to cost around €150 million, but he reportedly wants to stay in the Premier League. Both Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in his signature.
Juventus have already inquired about the striker, but it remains to be seen whether they will make a bid this summer.
Paul Pogba coy about Manchester United future
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was asked about his future at the club prior to the commencement of Euro 2020. The midfielder insisted he was fully focused on the tournament and was leaving his future up to his agent Mino Raiola. He told Football Italia:
"I have a year left on my contract, everyone knows that. I have not yet received a concrete proposal from Manchester United for a renewal, we haven’t sat down with the coach and directors to discuss it. I am a Manchester United player. My thoughts are on Euro 2020, I am concentrated only on that, as I have an agent who takes care of the rest. It’s not as if I have (PSG patron Nasser) Al-Khelaifi’s phone number!"
Max Allegri is reportedly keen on signing Pogba this summer, but it seems any transfer business will have to take place after Euro 2020.
Memphis Depay refuses to discuss future
Memphis Depay addressed the media ahead of the Netherlands' Euro 2020 opening game against Ukraine on Sunday. The forward has been linked with a move to both Barcelona and Juventus, but refused to comment on his future. He told Mundo Deportivo:
"I know there is speculation, there always is. The world of football works like this and I am already used to living with this type of situation. But I’m not going to say anything more about my future. The transfer market is very long and there is still time to go. Now my job is to prepare well for the Euros nothing more. The rest of the topics do not worry or distract me. I’m only focused on the game against Ukraine. I don’t want to talk about it, I just want to have a good tournament."
