TOP STORY: Man United and City to battle for Winks?

While United are having a midfield crisis at the moment, City are more worried about their defence and the same report says that Pep Guardiola has up to five options to improve his backline with Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar and Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykola Matviyenko the top two.

PAPER TALK (by James Capps)
Bayern highlight Hakimi for summer swoop
Bayern Munich are plotting a move for Real Madrid full-back Achraf Hakimi, who has impressed during a loan spell at fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, according to reports at Marca.
The 21-year-old struggled for regular game time at the Bernabeu after breaking into the Madrid first team in 2017, and during his near-two-year stint in Dortmund, the Moroccan has shone in a number of different positions. Bayern have identified the player's positional flexibility as a key factor in their decision to pursue the signing
Achraf is believed to be toying with the idea of staying in Germany, with his first-team opportunities back in Spain still largely limited by the presence of Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola in his preferred right-back position at Real.
A decision on the Morocco international's future is set to be made in July, when the player's loan at Dortmund ends.
Juve remain keen on Icardi
Juventus remain hopeful of completing a deal to sign Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan this summer, despite the striker looking destined to complete a permanent switch to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
Calciomercato claims Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici is a big fan of the Argentine, and was interested in doing a deal for the 26-year-old last summer, before the former Sampdoria man opted for a loan switch to Paris instead.
An agreement is in place for PSG to seal a €70m permanent switch for Icardi, but reports claim there is a clause in the deal to allow the striker to pull out of a move.
Icardi has been in excellent form for Thomas Tuchel's side since joining the Ligue 1 champions in the summer, notching 14 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions.
Conte keen on move for Alonso
Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte is keen to bolster his defensive options, and Calciomercato claims the Nerazzurri are keen on Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso.
The Spaniard has featured just eight times for Frank Lampard's side in the Premier League this season, with the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta and Emerson being preferred for the left-back slot by Lampard over the course of the campaign.
Alonso was a regular under Conte as the pair won the Premier League title together in the 2016-17 season, and the Italian is keen on a reunion with the former Bolton Wanderers man.
Two potential deals are on the table: Either a €35 million move this month, or a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
Tap ins
- After a nightmare spell in Serie A with AC Milan, Ante Rebic looks set to be shown the exit door at the San Siro, according to reports at Calciomercato. The Croatian only joined the Rossoneri from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer, but after just seven appearances in six months, the winger could be set for a return to the Bundesliga.
- Leicester City could make a loan move for Juventus defender Merih Demiral, after having a £25 million bid knocked back by the Serie A champions, according to reports at The Sun. The Foxes are keen to bolster their defensive ranks amid a string of injuries at the back.
- Han Kwang Song looks set to be the second Juventus striker to depart for Qatari side Al-Duhail in a matter of days, according to reports at Calciomercato. The North Korean forward has arrived in the Gulf state to complete the move, where he could potentially line up alongside Mario Mandzukic, who recently completed the move from Turin.
