The Mirror writes: "Manchester United may have to move quickly if they hope to sign Moise Kean as their new striker this summer. The Fiorentina star has an uncertain future in Italy as La Viola brace for a move from Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal.
"Fiorentina want Kean to remain in Florence after he scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in Serie A last term. Reports in Italy claim they have produced an offer to extend his contract but a release clause in his current deal leaves them vulnerable.
"Kean will be permitted to leave the club for €52 million (£45m) due to a clause that can be triggered until July 15. Al-Hilal currently appear most advanced as they look to raid Italy once again under Simeone after signing Theo Hernandez from AC Milan."
Juve make Rashford their priority
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is wanted by Juventus this summer, with Barcelona also keen.
Rashford wants out of United, and the Italian side are looking to bring him to Serie A in the coming weeks.
The Sun claims: "Juventus have made Marcus Rashford their number one summer target, SunSport understands.
"The Italian giants are accelerating plans to try and secure the Manchester United misfit - who is desperate to force an exit from Old Trafford.
"Juve’s interest comes as Barcelona also make Rashford their No1 target.
"The Spanish champions are believed to also have Rashford’s former team-mate Mason Greenwood and AC Milan sensation Rafael Leao on their transfer wishlist."
Liverpool receive Isak boost
The Daily Star believes Liverpool could be encouraged to follow up their interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
With Isak first choice at St James’ Park, news of Eddie Howe’s interest in Hugo Ekitike may see Liverpool make an offer for the Swedish international.
The paper explains: "Liverpool may have received a huge boost in their audacious chase for Newcastle's star player, Alexander Isak.
"The Reds are eager to secure the Swedish international, although any deal is expected to smash the British transfer record the Premier League champions broke themselves when they bagged the golden boy of German football, Florian Wirtz, from Bayer Leverkusen for a deal totalling £116m.
"While Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt and Chelsea's Joao Pedro were considered, Isak remains a prime target at Anfield - and Newcastle's interest in a striker could spur Liverpool on in their pursuit.
"Ekitike has attracted attention from the Saudi Pro League, including Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah, but his preference is to stay in Europe if he departs Frankfurt this summer.
"The news of Newcastle's interest, considering the centre-forward would cost around £85m, will ring alarm bells in Merseyside as such a high-profile signing could suggest that Isak might become available in the coming weeks."
Son attracts interest
Heung-min Son could be on his way from Tottenham after the arrival of Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, according to the Evening Standard.
The 33-year-old South Korean international is wanted by sides in the Saudi Pro League and MLS.
The paper reports: "The 33-year-old has now entered the final 12 months of his contract and, after a decade in north London, there could be an appeal for Son in going out on a high. There is believed to be interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the USA.
"For all it was a historic campaign, last term was also the worst goalscoring season for Son since his first year at Spurs.
"The arrival of Mohammed Kudus, which followed the permanent signing of Mathys Tel, adds further questions to Son’s future in north London and whether Spurs are preparing for life without the South Korean."
