Liverpool insist Brazilian playmaker PHILIPPE COUTINHO is not for sale at any price but the Daily Star reports that Barcelona are preparing an £80million bid
The Reds have already rejected a £72million offer from the Catalan giants, who do not appear keen to take no for an answer.
Manchester City are hoping to beat Real Madrid to the signing of Monaco's teenage sensation KYLIAN MBAPPE, according to the Daily Mirror
The Blues have already splashed out £217million this summer and the £143million capture of Mbappe would carry their spending spree beyond £350million.
Staying with Monaco, winger THOMAS LEMAR is set to complete a £45million move to Arsenal as the exodus from the club continues, writes The Sun
Bernardo Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy, Valere Germain have already left the club and it appears that 21-year-old Lemar will get his wish to move to north London despite the French club initially holding out for £80million.
The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham are looking to bring in Hoffenheim full-back JEREMY TOLJAN
The 22-year-old can operate on both flanks and Spurs have shifted their attention after the pursuit of Porto defender Ricardo Pereira stalled over the complicated issue of third-party ownership and the baulking of the £20million fee.
And finally, according to the Independent, Arsenal midfielder JACK WILSHERE wants to remain close to London if he moves on
The 25-year-old has been told he can leave the Emirates Stadium and has attracted interest from Europe
He would prefer a move to West Ham but Arsenal are demanding a fee in the region of £20million
The Hammers have yet to make a move for Wilshere, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth.
