7.30pm UPDATE: Neymar wants to play with Eden Hazard

Neymar has dropped another transfer hint to Real Madrid by revealing he wants to play with Los Blancos’ top target Eden Hazard.

The Paris Saint-Germain star continues to be the subject of plenty of speculation, which is centred on him potentially returning to La Liga.

With Zinedine Zidane expected to spend a boatload of cash this summer to rejuvenate his dispirited Real Madrid squad, Neymar and Chelsea winger Hazard are high on his shopping list.

“I would like to play with Hazard. He has a style similar to mine,” Neymar told Fox Sports.

“I think I could give it a try. We would cause havoc together!”

7pm: Man Utd boss Solskjaer in Rashford plan

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans to build his team around Marcus Rashford.

The Evening Standard say that, next term, he wants the England international to lead the line.

He the plans to play Anthony Martial on the left.

And Solskjaer is also hoping Jadon Sancho, of Borussia Dortmund, can sign to play on the right.

The talented teenager is likely to command a huge £100million fee, however.

6.30pm UPDATE: Man Utd can swap Lukaku for Icardi – Di Marzio

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Manchester United have a shot at landing Mauro Icardi – if they negotiate a Romelu Lukaku swap deal with Inter Milan.

“I believe that a transfer can be done but only through an exchange,” he said.

“With Napoli, it is complicated given the wage that Icardi is making.

“The same thing applies with Edinson Cavani but it is the other way around as Inter wouldn’t be able to afford his €12M per year in wages.

“As of right now, the only concrete option is to do an exchange and I would say with Manchester United for Lukaku.”

6pm UPDATE: Barcelona baffled at Real Madrid’s Paul Pogba interest

Manchester United star Paul Pogba is wanted by Real Madrid. And a new report suggests Los Blancos’ interest in the World Cup winner has left former admirers Barcelona baffled.

Manchester United star Pogba has emerged as a priority Real Madrid transfer target ahead of the summer window, with the La Liga giants deeming him good enough despite his mixed campaign.

The France international has struggled at times this season, previously under Jose Mourinho and currently under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

That has not deterred Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, however, with the Frenchman’s interest in the Manchester United star dating back years.

And ESPN claim many at Barcelona are confused by Real’s interest in the 26-year-old.

Last summer, the Catalan giants were eyeing Pogba themselves.

But they were unwilling to push the boat out for the Frenchman, with their low offer of £45million plus Andre Gomes and Yerry Mina immediately rejected.

5.30pm UPDATE: Real Madrid want to sell Keylor Navas

Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez has told Zinedine Zidane he wants Keylor Navas to be sold this summer.

The Daily Mail say that the Real chief has told Zidane he would, ideally, like Navas to be sold.

And that is because he wants Courtois to have a free path to both La Liga and Champions League football next season.

For the time being, the Los Blancos manager appears to have settled on Keylor Navas as his No 1 goalkeeper though.

5pm UPDATE: Paul Pogba to leave Man Utd for Real Madrid?

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane may give up on Manchester United star Paul Pogba if Florentino Perez deems the transfer too expensive, according to reports.

Zidane wanted Pogba in 2016 and now, with funds at his disposal, is ready to finally land the United star.

However, the Daily Mail say a transfer pursuit may be scrapped if Perez deems it too costly.

United would likely demand a huge amount to let their star asset go, regardless of his struggles on the pitch.

Any exit would leave a sizeable hole when it comes to the Red Devils’ marketability and appeal.

And that means United could demand in the region of £150million to even consider letting Pogba jump ship.

4.30pm UPDATE: Liverpool eye Rabiot deal

Liverpool are among the clubs ready to hand Adrien Rabiot a deal this summer.

The PSG midfielder is out of contract and is set to leave Paris after falling out with club chiefs.

He was linked with a move to Real Madrid but that deal is now on ice with the European champions targeting other areas.

And Liverpool are among a clutch of clubs looking at a possible deal. Arsenal and Manchester United are also in the mix.

4pm UPDATE: Kante to leave Chelsea for Man Utd?

Lee Sharpe has told Manchester United to sign N’Golo Kante from Chelsea.

“If Manchester United are able to prise anybody away from Chelsea, I would love it to be Kante,” he told SportingBet.

“He fits the bill perfectly and is not being used correctly by Sarri.”

Sharpe also noted that another player on Chelsea’s books could be utilised to his full potential if he was playing at United.

“Callum Hudson-Odoi is another player who might be able to fulfil his potential at Manchester United, but I don’t see that move happening,” he added.

“I’m not sure the club will have seen enough of him during his time at Chelsea to convince them he is worth paying the reported fees involved.”

3.30pm UPDATE: Emery could promote from within

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has hinted he will replace Aaron Ramsey from within due to the limited transfer budget he is set to get this summer.

Ramsey will leave on a free transfer for Juventus to leave Emery scrambling for another midfielder.

“Yes, but there are also players coming through from the academy who are producing good performances and who could progress,” he said.

“We could replace him with a player from outside, or with a player who is already here who can grow like he did himself.”
