ESPN FC’s Ligue 1 correspondent Julien Laurens shares his thoughts on Manchester United and Manchester City’s links with PSG forward Kylian Mbappe.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho thinks England have the quality and experience to win the World Cup.
Paul Mariner measures if Xherdan Shaqiri would be a good fit in Jurgen Klopp’s system, N’Golo Kante’s future with Chelsea and more.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has suggested he is happy at Lazio despite interest from Manchester United and Juventus.
The Serbian midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from the Italian capital after scoring 12 goals in 35 games in Serie A last season.
Barcelona have also been mentioned as a possible destination but the 23-year-old said after Serbia’s World Cup exit that he is not desperate for a change of scenery this summer.
“I need a little bit of rest now,” he told TV Mediaset. “I’ll return to Rome and I would be happy if I stay at Lazio, as I’m content there and I have a contract.
“I read something different in the papers every day, but I haven’t thought about it yet. First I’ll rest for a bit, then we’ll see.”
Sources have told ESPN FC that United manager Jose Mourinho is admirer of Milinkovic-Savic but that Lazio’s valuation of nearly €100 million is a stumbling block.
Mourinho has already bolstered his midfield with the £47m capture of Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk to compensate for Michael Carrick’s departure while Marouane Fellaini has signed a contract extension.
