What the papers say
Gareth Bale will get a minimum £20million welcome bonus if he opts to move to the Chinese Super League, the Daily Mail reports. A number of clubs would be willing to at least match his current wages and offer an unprecedented bonus structure, the paper claims.
Arsenal’s attempts to land Kieran Tierney have reportedly stalled after having several bids for the 22-year-old rejected. The Daily Mail says the Gunners want to stagger payments for the £25million-rated player, but Celtic want more money guaranteed up front.
Maurizio Sarri has personally intervened in order to land Danny Rose, the Daily Mail says. The Juventus boss specifically asked his employers to make a move for the Spurs left-back, the paper says. Paris St Germain and Schalke are also said to be interested in the England defender.
