Transfer Latest
Liverpool unlikely to meet Alisson price
Liverpool are unlikely to meet Roma’s £80 million ($107m) asking price for goalkeeper Alisson, reports Sky Sports.
Instead, the Brazil international is much more likely to land at Real Madrid, though the Champions League winners are also interested in Thibaut Courtois.
If Courtois does make the move to the Spanish capital, then Chelsea would go in for Alisson.
Man United considering Alderweireld alternatives
Manchester United are not fully convinced by Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld and do not have him at the top of their shortlist, according to theManchester Evening News.
Scouts have questioned the defender’s profile, and United are said to value Alderweireld at about £20 million less than the Spurs asking price of £70m ($93m).
Raphael Varane, Jerome Boateng, Kalidou Koulibaly, Milan Skriniar, Alessio Romagnoli, Jose Gimenez and Caglar Soyuncu are all prospective targets for the club as they consider centre-back a top priority this summer.
Kovacic likely to depart Real Madrid
Mateo Kovacic is likely to depart Real Madrid following Zinedine Zidane’s exit, according to AS.
The midfielder’s final decision will rest on who the club’s next coach is after Zidane blocked his exit midseason in the face of a €75 million (£66m/$88m) offer from Juventus.
And Juventus are monitoring the situation once more, having contacted Kovacic, but not Madrid.

But Silva has decided he wants Rooney to move on, with Norwich’s James Maddison his preferred replacement.
Rafinha could be part of Barca’s Eriksen deal
Barcelona could use Tottenham’s interest in Rafinha to secure the signing of Christian Eriksen, claims Sport.
Rafinha spent the second half of the season on loan at Inter, but the Serie A side have not activated his purchase option of €35 million (£31m/$41m).
The midfielder isn’t part of Barca's plans, so the Catalans could use Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino’s interest in Rafinha and include him as part of a deal to land Eriksen.
Liverpool to turn to Shaqiri
Liverpool will turn their attention to trying to land Stoke City midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri after the World Cup, according to the Mirror.

However, Shaqiri is not considered an alternative to Nabil Fekir, whose move to Anfield may not be completely dead as Lyon look into ways to revive the transfer.
Rashford to discuss Man Utd extension
Marcus Rashford’s representatives and Manchester United will look to discuss extending the youngster’s contract after the World Cup, report the Sun.
Rashford has two years left on his deal, but United are keen to raise his wages from £80,000-per-week up to £130,000-per-week once some of the higher earners are cleared off the books.
The England international’s people would like to see what Jose Mourinho does in the market but are willing to sit down with the club regardless.
Barcelona contact Ajax over De Jong
Barcelona have contacted Ajax over Frenkie de Jong with the midfielder interested in a move to the La Liga champions, report AS.
