Gyokeres slams door at Sporting
Record, the Portuguese newspaper, is reporting that Viktor Gyokeres has told Sporting CP he will never play for the club again.
The Swedish striker, 27, has been linked with several European clubs this summer, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
After scoring a staggering 97 goals in 102 matches across two seasons in Portugal, he is said to feel disrespected by an apparent U-turn by Sporting on his release clause.
A ‘gentleman’s agreement’ was understood to be in place with Gyokeres, allowing him to leave the Portuguese giants for offers of £58m or more.
However, Sporting’s president Frederico Varandas has denied such a deal was ever made.
"I can guarantee that Viktor Gyokeres will not leave for €60m plus €10m because I never promised that," he told A Bola.
Varandas has also denied that any offer has been made for the forward, despite recent reports that Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United have made an "initial approach".
Sane set for Galatasaray
Sky Sport Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg says Leroy Sane to Galatasaray is considered to be a "done deal".
Apparently the Germany international, 29, has turned down a three-year extension on his contract at Bayern Munich on reduced terms.
Former Manchester City man Sane had been heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League, with Arsenal among the clubs interested in signing the winger.
However, he looks set for a new challenge with the Super Lig champions. He will fly to Turkey this evening ahead of a medical tomorrow.
AC Milan eyeing Rabiot
Reports in Italy are suggesting Massimiliano Allegri is looking for midfield reinforcements at AC Milan after losing Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City.
A move for Adrien Rabiot has been talked about in recent days and discussions are now intensifying.
According to Sky Italia, Allegri is keen to reunite with the French midfielder at Milan, viewing him as a pivotal figure from their time together at Juventus.
It is understood Rabiot has a verbal agreement to leave Marseille this summer if he would like to explore opportunities elsewhere, reportedly for around €10 million.
De Bruyne to land in Naples
Midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne is looking likely to swap the sky blue of Manchester City for that of Napoli this summer.
It’s understood he will fly to Naples on Thursday, where Fabrizio Romano reports he will undertake his medical ahead of a two-year deal, with an option for an extra year.
De Bruyne, 33, will join the recently-crowned Italian champions on a free transfer after running out his contract at Manchester City.
He had attracted interest from American teams in MLS, but looks set to continue his career in Europe alongside the likes of Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku.
