Barca target Rashford after Williams snub
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are now considering Marcus Rashford as a left-wing option, after missing out on Nico Williams.
As per the outlet: "The English forward is eager to join Barca, and his current coach at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, does not count on him. United have set his price at ÂŁ40 million and would prefer a permanent sale over a loan.Â
"However, in the transfer market, when everyone knows a club wants to offload a player, the price can drop - and even lead to a loan deal.Â
"Rashford has already indicated he would be willing to lower his high salary to make his dream of playing for Barca come true. Therefore, this could still turn into a very favourable operation for the Catalan club."
Sancho chooses Juve
As per Italian publication Tuttosport, United’s Jadon Sancho is prioritising a move to Serie A giants Juventus, and wants to secure a transfer before the start of the season.
"The footballer, especially in the last period, has put all the other ongoing chats on hold, giving priority to Juventus like he had never done before," Tuttosport has alleged.
"He feels the possibility of leaving Manchester United is close and he doesn't want to let it slip away, especially now that the timing would be perfectly in line with his desire: to resolve everything before the start of the season.

"That would avoid him having to show up at The Red Devils' retreat and spending days perpetually waiting, between one piece of news and another, with his bags never completely unpacked.Â
"If Juve were to close - who knows, in the next few hours - the agreement with Jadon's agents, at that point the next step would be to formalise the proposal to Manchester, whose request for the winger is ÂŁ25m."
Gyokeres rejects Saudi offer
Portugal’s Record has claimed Victor Gyokeres has rejected the advances of Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah, just a month after declining Al Hilal’s advances.Â

Man Utd could trigger Kean release clause
Manchester United, Napoli and the aforementioned Al Qadsiah are thought to be among the sides interested in triggering Moise Kean’s €52m (£44m) release clause, which is set to expire on July 15.
On Kean, who netted 25 goals in all competitions last term, Italy’s Calciomercato said: "€52m is the amount needed to snatch the 25-year-old striker from Fiorentina, a clause valid until July 15.
"There are certainly some teams willing to pay it: Manchester United and Al Qadsiah - who are also following Mateo Retegui as an alternative - are carefully evaluating the option, but Napoli are also reportedly thinking about the possibility of giving Conte an alternative to [Romelu] Lukaku, on whom they could focus completely starting from the following season.Â
"The former PSG and Juventus striker seems to be at the top of the Neapolitan club's list of priorities.
"Napoli have the ability to pay the clause with the proceeds from the sale of Victor Osimhen."

Inter are also keen on the striker on the basis that Marcus Thuram departs, Eurosport Italy have reported: "Inter appear prepared for such an eventuality, so much so that they have already explored potential alternatives.
"Among these, at the top of the list is Kean, whose €52m release clause effectively creates a direct channel, at least until mid-July.
"The Italian, tempted by [Saudi] Arabia but also wanting to stay in Florence, could soon have a new great opportunity on the table."
