  • The summer transfer window is open and across the globe there is a frenzy of speculation as players and coaches look for their next moves.

    KIERAN TRIPPIER

    Not satisfied with just the two Spain right-backs, Real Madrid are planning to venture further afield to nab one of the best players at this summer’s World Cup – that’s according to a report in The Sun.

    Sources close to the player have apparently revealed Los Blancos’ intense interest in Kieran Trippier, whose dead-eye set-pieces and all-round superb play helped England all the way to the semi-finals.

    Given that Tottenham flogged another England right-back in Kyle Walker to Man City for £50 million last summer, it would surely take at least that amount again for Real to land the 27-year-old Trippier. Would they spend that much given they have Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola?

    MIRALEM PJANIC

    First they’re interested in Gonzalo Higuain, next they’re intrigued by Daniele Rugani … now, Chelsea are reportedly keen on another Juventus maestro in Miralem Pjanic.

    Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla claims that the Blues wanted Chelsea regardless of signing Napoli man Jorginho – who they bagged last week – to complete their midfield transformation.

    No fee has been mentioned but Juventus could either offer the Bosnia international a contract extension or hear what Maurizio Sarri’s men have to say in regards to a transfer.
