    RADAMEL FALCAO

    AC Milan want the experienced hitman to lead their line next season and are willing to offer Andre Silva in part-exchange to make the deal happen.

    Tuttosport reports the Rossoneri are desperate to land the Monaco striker, who has been prolific this term – plundering 24 goals in 35 outings in all competitions.

    Although the Colombian is happy with the French Riviera side and has a contract until 2020, the Italian giants are confident they can tempt him to the San Siro, with Silva as bait.

    The 22-year-old Portuguese star has struggled to find form in Serie A since making the switch from Porto last summer and Milan want more pedigree up top as they seek to make a more significant challenge to Juventus.

    Radamel Falcao has comprehensive experience in European football.

    OUSMANE DEMBELE

    The young French star will not be allowed to leave Camp Nou on loan next season.

    After a difficult first campaign at Barcelona, speculation has been rife that the 20-year-old – who has been linked with Liverpool – could be sent out of the club temporarily to gain more first-team experience.

    However, according to Marca, Blaugrana boss Ernesto Valverde has squashed those rumours and sees last summer’s £135million (Dh670m) recruit as a vital part of his plans.

    Dembele has started only nine La Liga matches but has suffered with a series of injury problems, including a lengthy hamstring lay-off last year.

    Dembele has been in good form recently.

    Ousmane Dembele is set for a long-term stay.
