Liverpool are still firmly in the race to sign a PSG man, while Manchester United have beaten fierce competition to land a French starlet, according to the weekend’s European papers.
LIVERPOOL MAKE CONTACT OVER MIDFIELDER
Liverpool and Barcelona are two of the clubs that have initiated discussions over a potential swoop for Adrien Rabiot, according to a report.
PSG are keen to keep Rabiot, who is out of contract in the summer and available on a free transfer, but it was recently reported that he has made his mind up to leave.
Spanish paper Sport have claimed his future will be resolved in the coming days and they say Rabiot “is more likely to join FC Barcelona”.
Rabiot is looking for a significant increase on his current £55k-a-week, and L’Equipe’s latest report says that Liverpool are firmly in the race and could table an offer.
Meanwhile, le10sport state thatParis Saint-Germain have set a price tag of €40million (£36m) for Rabiot and could sell him in January.
MAN UTD TIE UP STARLET DEAL
Man Utd are set to seal the signing of star young Amiens forward Noam Emeran ‘in the coming weeks’, according to reports in France.
RMC Sport suggest that the Red Devils have reached an agreement with the 16-year-old, and are willing to give his club €10m to complete the signing in January.
Juventus, Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain were among the clubs interested in Emeran, with the Belgian national team also making early contacts over a possible allegiance switch.
The €10m fee is expected to be comprised of an initial fee of €2m and then hefty bonuses on top, including a sell-on percentage fee.
KLOPP EYES SHOCK MIDFIELD RECRUIT
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could break an 16-year-long truce and make a move for an Everton man, according to a report.
The Wistle claims that the German has cast his eyes upon midfielder Andre Gomes, who is currently on a season-long loan at the Toffees from Barcelona.
Gomes followed Yerry Mina to Merseyside in the summer, becoming the third player to swap the Catalan giants for Goodison Park this summer.
Everton will pay £2.02million to borrow the Portugal international for the season, with the Toffees covering the entire cost of his salary.
Gomes would be the first player since Abel Xavier in 2002 to trade blue for red on Merseyside should a deal be completed.
The midfielder has apparently impressed Klopp with a string of impressive displays, one of which he saw first hand during Sunday’s Merseyside Derby.
It is believed that Gomes is valued at £25m by the Catalan giants and has been told he has no future at the Nou Camp.
While a permanent switch to Everton remains an option, it is believed that the player is looking to test himself more with a move to one of the Premier League’s top six clubs.
