What the papers say

Juventus are preparing a bid for Paul Pogba, and will offer Manchester United the choice of one of three stars to get the deal over the line, the Daily Express reports. Juve bosses are ready to give United the option of either Alex Sandro, Mario Mandzukic or Medhi Benatia as they step up their attempts to re-sign Pogba, the paper claims.

Porto star Yacine Brahimi is reportedly being eyed up by three Premier League sides. The Sun says reports in Portugal claim the 28-year-old, who is out of contract next summer, is being chased by Newcastle, West Ham and Everton.
