OUSMANE DEMBELE

Barcelona are prepared to take a hit and sell Ousmane Dembele to Liverpool, according to Spanish radio station RAC1.

The La Liga champions signed the young Frenchman for £135m just last summer. However, even after returning to fitness, Dembele found first team opportunities hard to come by with former Red Philippe Coutinho being preferred on a regular basis.

Barca are closing in on the signing of Antoine Griezmann and would be open to a loan move for Dembele with a mandatory option to buy.

LEONARDO BONUCCI

Despite only joining AC Milan last summer, Leonardo Bonucci is looking for an escape route after the Serie A side failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich are understood to be the front-runners for his signature, according to The Sun.

Due to Financial Fair Play regulations, Milan could be forced to sell.

SOKRATIS PAPASTATHPOULOS

Sokratis Papastathopoulos is on Arsenal’s radar after deciding against Caglar Soyuncu who was proving to be too expensive, the Daily Mail claims.

The Gunners balked at Freiburg’s demand of £35 million for the Turkey international and have turned to the Borussia Dortmund defender instead.

Although the Greek international is eight years older than Soyuncu, he is valued at around £17.5m.
