ADRIEN RABIOT

Barcelona have been in pursuit of Chelsea winger Willian this summer as they look to bolster their ranks and the latest player to pop up on their radar is Adrien Rabiot.

The PSG midfielder is among their chief candidates for a role in midfield, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Following the departures of Andres Iniesta and Paulinho, the Catalans find themselves short in that department and the 23-year-old Frenchman could help fill the void.

The Blaugrana sense reinforcements are all the more important with Andre Gomes and Rafinha Alcantara heading for the exits as well.

RIYAD MAHREZ

After a failed move for Riyad Mahrez in the January transfer window, Manchester City have now agreed a £60 million deal with Leicester City for the highly-rated Algerian, according to the Daily Mail.

The 27-year-old has been a target for the Premier League champions for some time and Pep Guardiola looks set to get his man this time around.

The playmaker will join a deep pool of creative talent at the Etihad Stadium where Bernardo Silva struggled for regular playing time last season.

Mahrez is expected to undergo a medical at City this week before making the move official.
