MANCHESTER City are ready to turn their back on Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez for good, according to the Mirror.
The club bid £60million for the star last month but the deal collapsed and Mahrez has since been absent from the Foxes’ training and matches.
Blues boss Pep Guardiola is said to have major concerns at the way Mahrez has dealt with the fall-out and will now look elsewhere, the paper reports.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £45million bid for Monaco star Fabinho. The Sun says reports in Italy suggest Jose Mourinho will step-up their pursuit of the 24-year-old wing-back at the end of the season.
Luke Shaw is in line for a new long-term deal with Manchester United, the Mirror reports. The paper says the England full-back appears to have won over Jose Mourinho after a turbulent few years.
The 22-year-old has impressed in recent weeks and the club are looking to tie him down on improved terms, it adds.
Liverpool are looking to make another move for Thomas Lemar after he turned down a new contract at Monaco, according to the Independent.
The paper says Jurgen Klopp had wanted to bring in the winger this January, but the French side did not want to let him go in the middle of a season. But his unwillingness to sign a new deal at Monaco could open the door for Liverpool to return with a bid in the summer, the paper adds.
Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, who has been touted as a potential replacement for Chelsea’s Antonio Conte, is preparing himself for a move to England, according to the Telegraph. The paper says allies have confirmed that he wants to return to management in the Premier League.
