KARIM BENZEMA

The much-maligned Real Madrid forward has been linked with a move to Napoli, according to the Sun.

New Partenopei coach Carlo Ancelotti has asked club chairman Aurelio de Laurentiis to consider the French attacker as he wants to build further on the success of last season, which saw them finish second in the Serie A.

This season, the 30-year-old has been heavily criticised for below-par performances and a return of just 10 goals in all competitions.

Despite speculation Robert Lewandowski could replace the former Lyon frontman this summer, Benzema is keen on staying in the Spanish capital after signing a fresh four-year contract last September.

GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA

Liverpool are ready to make a move for the highly-rated AC Milan goalkeeper, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Reds have invested heavily on outfield players, with the number one spot largely left with Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.

But, according to the Italian publication the Champions League finalists want to bolster that area of their team as they attempt to become the biggest club in Europe.

The 19-year-old only signed a new deal at the San Siro last summer, but his time at the club has turned sour after fans were angered by the way in which the new deal was signed.
