    DAYOT UPAMECANO

    Barcelona are prepared to launch a €100m (Dh452m) bid for the teenage RB Leipzig sensation, according to Telefoot .

    Following the departure of Javier Mascherano and the lack of consistent form of Thomas Vermaelen and Yerry Mina, Upamecano has emerged as a key target for the Catalan giants.

    The 19-year-old has become a regular in the Bundesliga this season, and Ernesto Valverde views him as the heir apparent to 31-year-old Gerard Pique.

    The Frenchman has made 36 appearances in all competitions this term, with Manchester United, Arsenal and AC Milan also monitoring his developments.

    ALVARO MORATA

    Juventus are interested in signing the Chelsea striker this summer, reports Mundo Deportivo.

    The Spaniard starred for the Bianconeri on loan from Real Madrid between 2014 and 2016, before signing for the West London side last summer in an €80m (Dh361.5m) deal.

    However, Morata has faded after a blistering start to life at Stamford Bridge, and reports have emerged that the Old Lady will move for the 25-year-old if Mario Mandzukic leaves Turin at the end of the season.
