    LUCAS TORRERIA

    Liverpool are set to challenge RB Leipzig for the signing of Lucas Torreira, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

    The Merseyside outfit are looking to add the Sampdoria midfielder to their ranks with Leipzig’s Naby Keita already on his way to Anfield this summer. However, Liverpool may lose Juventus target Emre Can on a free ahead of next season..

    In Torreira, Liverpool would gain a defensive midfielder to possibly replace the German. The 22-year-old broke through at Pescara and has impressed in the Italian top flight, even compared to Marco Verratti at times.

    ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI

    Paris Saint-Germain have begun discussions with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski over a summer transfer, according to L’Equipe du Soir (via lefigaro.fr).

    Despite enjoying another prolific season at PSG, Edinson Cavani is linked with a move away from the French capital. The Uruguayan has clashed with Neymar a few times and with new manager Thomas Tuchel stating his intentions to build the team around the Brazilian, the striker could look for a new team.

    Cavani is wanted by Atletico Madrid who look destined to lose Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona. Lewandowski would be a superb replacement for Cavani, perhaps even an upgrade.
