Franck Kessie has been given an ultimatum by one club chasing him, Arsenal are chasing a Real Madrid star, while a Croatian talent is ready to snub Tottenham, according to Monday’s European press.
ARSENAL WANT JAMES TO REPLACE SANCHEZ
Arsenal have identified Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez as their most likely target to replace Alexis Sanchez, should the Chile star leave the Emirates this summer.
The former Barcelona forward has dropped a major hint he’s ready to quit the Gunners this summer, with the likes of Juventus and Bayern Munich linked with his signature.
Arsenal have been tipped to move for the likes of Isco, Marco Reus and Arda Turan as they seek a high-profile name to replace Sanchez.
But now reports in Italy claim Arsenal have identified Real star James as the most ‘gettable’ target, with the player likely to be allowed to leave Real madrid for £50million this summer.
The Colombian has also been linked with Bayern, Manchester United and Chelsea,.
KYLIAN MBAPPE DOESN’T FANCY MANCHESTER UNITED TRANSFER
Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe has asked for a couple of months to decide over a move to Real Madrid, according to reports.
The 18-year-old striker has become one of Europe’s most-wanted stars this season, though reports suggest his fee could amount to a staggering £110million.
Reports in Spain at the weekend claimed to know the club Mbappe wanted to play for next, while reports in France have now explained he has rejected advances from Manchester United due to doubts about their style of play.
L’Equipe suggest Mbappe does not want to move to Old Trafford after expressing reservations about Jose Mourinho’s “defensive style of play”. Furthermore, they claim the player feels his game would be suited more in the attacking style deployed by Real Madrid.
And speaking to the French media over the weekend, Mbappe said he would take his time before deciding his next move.
“As I’ve said before, we are all aiming for the same objective – I want to win the league with my team and I don’t want any distractions getting in the way of that. That is my plan from now until the end of the season,” he said.
“After that, I’ll have two and a half months to decide where my future lies. Right now, the rumours in the press aren’t affecting my game.”
Mbappe has scored 25 goals in 54 games for Monaco this season.
KOVACIC AGENT BATS AWAY TOTTENHAM SPECULATION
Mateo Kovacic’s agent has dismissed reports the midfielder could leave Real Madrid this summer, amid reports linking him with both Tottenham, AC Milan and Roma.
The Croatian midfielder has failed to win a regular place in Zinedine Zidane’s starting line up this season and it’s claimed he could consider a move away from the club ahead of 2018 World Cup.
Reports in Italy have mooted a £30million could be enough to lure the former Inter Milan star away from the Bernabeu, but when asked by Tutto Mercato about the links, his agent Nikky Vuksan said: “There is not any news. Or rather, there are no chances that this will be possible.
“Mateo has a very long contract with Real Madrid, which runs until 2021.
“So I do not understand all these rumours, all this speculation about his future.”
Kovacic has started just five of Real Madrid’s last 14 La Liga matches.
