Palace duo Eze and Guehi up for sale
Tottenham and Manchester United will be on red alert as Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is planning to sell Eberechi Eze.
As well as Eze, he is also prepared to sell central defender Marc Guehi as he enters the final year of his contract, with Spurs - again - keen, as well as Chelsea and Newcastle.
The Sun states: "Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has given his blessing to the sales of both Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze this summer to fund an overhaul of the squad.
"Guehi is certain to leave as he has just 12 months left on his contract with former club Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle ready to bid
"Eze could also depart Selhurst Park as he has two years remaining on his contract.
"A £60 million release clause can be activated by rival clubs at the end of the season.
"Spurs have also been tracking Eze for some time but will face competition from Manchester United, with the 26-year-old’s release clause making him very attainable."
Man Utd pushing for Cunha deal
Matheus Cunha is expected to join Manchester United this season, as they are ready to make a bid for the Brazilian.
A £62.5m offer will trigger his release clause at Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Mirror writes.
The paper reports: "Cunha has enjoyed an excellent season so far, netting 15 Premier League goals to help keep Wolves in the Premier League.
"Although he signed a new contract in February, that deal contains a £62.5m release clause and United are pushing ahead with a move for Cunha as Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim looks to revamp his squad.
"Cunha has publicly stated that he wants to leave Wolves this summer, telling the Guardian in March that he wants to ‘take the next step’ and ‘fight for titles’. He said: ‘I had a lot of offers [to leave in January] but I wouldn't feel well if I had done it.’"
Liverpool track five potential signings
Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko are all under consideration for Liverpool’s summer transfer window.
The Athletic believes that with Darwin Nunez, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas potentially leaving, there is room for signings in defence and attack.
The website claims: "As the Premier League title celebrations continue apace on Merseyside, work is being stepped up behind the scenes in a bid to ensure Liverpool remain ahead of the chasing pack.
"It promises to be a busy summer transfer window as sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot seek to put their stamp on the squad they inherited from Jurgen Klopp.
"Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez features high on the club’s list of targets.
"There could be a double swoop on Hughes’ former club, with Liverpool also in the race to sign Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen, who has a £50m release clause.
"Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is widely admired at Liverpool, but there is an acceptance that deal would be very difficult to pull off, given the talk of a possible £150m valuation.
"Other options, such as Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig), have also been considered."
Vardy linked with Wrexham
The Daily Star believes that Jamie Vardy could be tempted to move down to the Championship to play for Wrexham.
However, the paper points out that Ryan Reynolds’ club will have competition from other clubs pushing for promotion, as well as MLS outfits.
The paper writes: "Vardy will have offers from elsewhere, no doubt, including Championship rivals of Wrexham as well as the MLS. And this is the test for Wrexham's pulling power.
"Reynolds and McElhenney will still have to sell the club to players like Vardy, despite the remarkable narrative playing out in north Wales.
"But if Vardy wants his romance with English football to continue, he should jump at the chance to perhaps help Wrexham write one of the greatest chapters of all."
