What the papers say

Cristiano Ronaldo is open to the idea of joining Juventus with the Italian giants preparing a £88million deal for the forward, the Daily Mirror reports. Ronaldo, who left the World Cup earlier than hoped as Portugal lost 2–1 to Uruguay, will be offered a contract worth £26.5million a year, the paper adds.

Another forward on the move is Riyad Mahrez, whose protracted transfer from Leicester to Manchester City is set to get the go-ahead later this week, according to the Daily Mail. The paper said the deal could be worth up to £60million.

Barcelona could be looking to cash in on midfielder Andre Gomes over the summer, with new Arsenal manager Unai Emery keen on taking the Portugal international for around £30million, the Independent says.

Felipe Anderson is the subject of a bidding war, with West Ham and Chelsea looking to get the Lazio midfielder, while Monaco and Valencia are also interested, according to the Daily Mirror.
