"Manchester United have made an approach to sign Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos as a potential replacement for Andre Onana," reads the article.

"According to Sport Bild, Santos is on United’s radar and the club’s director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, spoke with Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krosche, about the 22-year-old during the German club’s Europa League tie against Tottenham last Thursday.

The report adds that Tottenham’s technical director, Johan Lange, also held talks with Krosche about a potential deal for Santos during last week’s game against the German side.

"Frankfurt, however, view Santos as the long-term successor to Kevin Trapp and are demanding a €60m (£51.5m) transfer fee to sell the Brazilian goalkeeper this summer."

Inter Miami face obstacles to sign De Bruyne

Inter Miami are favourites to sign Kevin De Bruyne - but face obstacles in order to capture his signature.

A report in the Mirror suggests the Belgium international is most likely to link up with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the MLS in the summer, but that a deal is far from straightforward.

The article reads: "Inter Miami are keen to strike a deal for Kevin De Bruyne but would have to sign him to a deal "far below market value" because of their existing rosters of superstars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.

"The MLS looks to be the most likely destination for the Belgian playmaker, with Inter Miami leading the race along with Chicago Fire, New York City FC and D.C United.

"Should De Bruyne sign for Miami, there would be "angst" among their rivals given he would link up with an already impressive squad of players spearheaded by Messi, according to the Athletic.

"The report claims Miami could potentially have their hands tied over the deal because all of their designated player slots have already been taken up by Messi, Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez.

"The situation has now 'opened a window for additional suitors' because Miami won't be able to pay De Bruyne as much as their rivals - who will have more empty slots to dedicate to the Belgium international.

"A possible workaround could see Inter Miami sign De Bruyne as a Targeted Allocation Money [TAM] player, as LA Galaxy did when they snapped up Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid following the Copa Del Rey final later this month, it has been claimed.

Los Blancos are preparing to meet rivals Barcelona in the showpiece occasion on April 26.

The Italian boss has been linked with a move to the Brazilian national team and a host of other top European clubs.

If he is to leave on the date reported, Real Madrid would be managerless for El Clasico in La Liga as well as league games against Celta Vigo, Mallorca and Sevilla.

They are four points behind leaders Barcelona, and were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Arsenal at the quarter-final stage.

"Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid after the Copa Del Rey final on April 26, in the wake of the Spanish giants' Champions League exit to Arsenal," reads the report in the Mirror.

"Brazil are hopeful of appointing the former Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton boss, with negotiations now expected to ramp up."

The German manager has been out of the hotseat since departing Liverpool in the summer of 2024.

"Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly open to negotiating with Real Madrid after the Spanish side's Champions League quarter-final exit at the hands of Arsenal," states the outlet.
