Transfer news & rumours
Chelsea and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois have failed to agree on a new contract and the Belgium number one may now be heading out of Stamford Bridge this summer, with just a year left on his current deal.
Courtois is still only 26, but it seems Chelsea have their eye on another goalkeeper and reports in Italy suggest it is Liverpool target Alisson that the Blues want to bring to West London - they're 6/1 to pinch him ahead of the Reds.
There’s a real goalkeeping merry-go-round in prospect, with Liverpool reportedly adding Courtois to their shortlist of prospective new keepers as he’s likely to cost much less than Roma’s €80m asking price for Alisson.
Real Madrid are 4/5 favourites to sign Courtois – but the Spanish giants have also been credited with an interest in Alisson!
Liverpool remain the most likely team to sign Alisson this summer according to the bookies, as they're 5/4 to land the Brazilian number one. The futures of these two keepers will be big stories this summer.
Another of Liverpool's goalkeeping targets is Stoke's Jack Butland, but he won't be cheap as the Potters want £30m for the England shot-stopper, according to The Sentinel.
Manchester United have been chasing Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for some time, but it may all be for nothing as Calciomercato is reporting that the player has told friends he will be joining Juventus this summer.
Jose Mourinho has also long been on the trail of Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic, but Corriere dello Sport now say that Tottenham could be his Premier League destination in a swap deal involving Mousa Dembele.
Lazio winger Felipe Anderson is a target for new West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini, who wants to start bringing in some new faces before the start of the World Cup.
The 25-year-old has one cap for Brazil and scored four goals in Serie A last season, while also adding three goals to help Lazio to the Europa League quarter-finals.
Gazzetta dello Sport has the line of the day as they report that Mario Balotelli is a surprise target for new Arsenal manager Unai Emery.
The controversial Italian had spells with Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League, and was back to his best last season as he hit 26 goals for Ligue 1 outfit Nice.
