1. Danilo To Juventus

What’s the story?

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio took to his official website to claim that Real Madrid could well be willing to sell their right-back Danilo to Juventus, as the two clubs prepare to enter negotiations on Monday. The Serie A club is apparently preparing a representative to send to Spain in order to arrange the deal and ensure that it takes place successfully.

Should the deal take place?

The departure of last season’s number one right-back, Dani Alves, has left the Serie A club looking for a player to fill in the gap, and hence, Danilo has emerged as the number one target. The player has been on Massimiliano Allegri’s radar for a while now, but has had earlier bids rejected, as Zidane’s team stays put at their minimum demand of £15m. The Brazilian has been out of favour in Los Blancos side, and could revive his career by moving to a team willing to avail his services.

Possibility of it happening

The chances of the defender making a move to Italy currently stand at 9/10.


2. Sergio Rico To Liverpool

What’s the story?

After a season of disappointing goalkeeping performances in their team, the Liverpool fans can finally look forward to positivity in between the sticks, as Daily Star have come up with reports claiming that Sergio Rico has emerged as a top target for Jurgen Klopp. The 23-year-old has been a hero for his hometown club Sevilla over the past few seasons, as he helped them become Europa League champions twice in that period.

Should the deal take place?

The keeper is one of Europe’s finest growing prospects at the moment, and with Liverpool already bringing in Salah, the Reds will not mind spending more on young talents in the summer. The player is currently priced at £26 million, and that is a budget that Liverpool should cash in on if they don’t want the poor performances of Karius and Simon Mignolet to be a trouble next season.

Possibility of it happening

The side will be participating in the Champions League next campaign, and hence, a goalie of the highest order is a must have. The possibility of the player arriving is currently 6/10.


3. Alexandre Lacazette To Arsenal

What’s the story?

Arsenal are currently hot favourites to sign star striker Alexandre Lacazette, but as per the rumours mentioned in the Evening Standard, the price they will pay will be a minimum of £57 million, as demanded by Lyon. The player almost joined Atleti for a lesser fee, but that fiasco has raised his prices, as the French club looks eager to cash in as highly as possibly.

Should the deal take place?

Arsene Wenger is desperate to get the fans back in his favour, and only an extraordinary amount of spending in the summer window will do him any favours. However mouth watering the deal might sound, dishing out such an enormous fee has never been the Arsenal boss’s approach to things. But given the absence of the Champions League, the team is left with not many other choices, and thus, it is what has to be done.

Possibility of it happening

The possibility of the French striker coming to London is currently placed at 8/10.


4. Angel Di Maria To Inter Milan

What’s the story?

​According to reports from numerous Italian media outlets, Angel Di Maria is now a target for Inter Milan, as the Serie A giants are sending a delegation to Paris to enquire about the player’s availability. Inter seem to have a strong case to present, as the player is apparently keen to leave PSG this summer.

Should the deal take place?

With 14 goals and 15 assists for the capital club last season, the player can be a hugely significant addition to the Italian side, who are aiming for a better finish next season compared to the 7th spot they managed last time around.

Possibility of it happening

Nothing major related to the transfer has come about yet, thus leaving the negotiations in the balance with a 5/10 possibility of taking place.
