meanwhile, is expected to leave for AS Roma. Sead Kolasinac may join his

Hakimi
‘verbally’ agrees to join Chelsea
The European champions have moved into pole position in the
Achraf Hakimi transfer saga.
It’s alleged that the Moroccan
defender has ‘verbally agreed’ to join Chelsea. Inter Milan have already rejected offers from the Blues and Paris
Saint-Germain for Hakimi. The Serie A champions, however, have asked the former
for €50 million and Marcos Alonso. [Ekren Konor]
Is Costa on
his way back to the Premier League?
Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa is still a free agent after
leaving Atletico Madrid in January.
The 32-year-old, though, has no
shortage of interest. Wolves are interested in bringing Costa back to the
Premier League. Benfica, Al-Nassr, and Besiktas have also recently shown
interest in him. [UOL – in Portuguese]
Real Madrid
name their price for Varane
Los Blancos have reportedly rejected a £50 million (€58m)
transfer offer from Manchester United for Raphael Varane.
The Red Devils will make
another offer, but Real Madrid plan to hold out for around £80 million (€94m)
for their defender. [Manchester Evening News]
Tapsoba and
Onana on Arsenal’s radar
Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba and Ajax goalkeeper
Andre Onana are both on Arsenal’s transfer radar.
The Gunners view Tapsoba as a ‘perfect’ addition to their squad.
Leverkusen, though, want to keep the 22-year-old and may need offers of around
€60 million to €70 million to be convinced otherwise.
