Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton and Wolves have shown an interest in Porto midfielder Yacine Brahimi, says Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha.

Inter lower Icardi asking price

Inter are prepared to lower their asking price for Mauro Icardi to €80 million (£71m/$90m) to help facilitate his departure, Corriere della Sera reports.

The Argentine striker’s future came into doubt this week after he was stripped of the club captaincy and then missed Thursday’s Europa League win over Rapid Vienna.

Icardi’s contract includes a €110m (£97m/$124m) release clause, but it can only be activated by foreign clubs during a two-week window in July.

Instead, the Nerazzurri are ready to speed up his exit and lower their demands.

Spurs to offer Son another contract extension

Tottenham star Son Heung-min is set to sign a second contract extension in just over a year, The Daily Mail reports.

The South Korea international only signed a new deal in July, but the club are ready to give him another pay rise in light of his recent form.

The Premier League side will open talks with the player at the end of the season as they hope to tie him to a longer deal.

Juve may swap Alex Sandro for Marcelo

Juventus’s hopes of signing Marcelo from Real Madrid this summer depend on Alex Sandro leaving the Serie A side, Calciomercato says.

The Bianconeri want to sign the Brazilian left-back, but will have to let go of their own to make room. Sandro has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League as well as Paris Saint-Germain, but opted to extend his contract.

He has been highlighted as a target for Madrid, however, meaning the two clubs could organise a swap that suits them both in the next window.
