    ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI

    Juventus are plotting a summer move for the prolific Bayern Munich striker, who has been regularly linked with Real Madrid in recent times.

    According to Rome-based Corriere dello Sport, the Old Lady have made the 29-year-old Pole their number one transfer target as they bid to continue their domination of Italian football.

    With Gonzalo Higuain’s future far from certain in Turin, Lewandowski, who could cost as much as €80m (Dh343m), has been billed as the perfect man to lead the Juventus line next season.

    The race to win his signature may not be a straight forward equation though, especially if Los Blancos target the former Borussia Dortmund man and view him as a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema.

    DAVY KLAASSEN

    Besiktas are ready to offer the Dutch midfielder an escape route out of Goodison Park, Sky Sports News reports.

    The Everton midfielder, who signed for the Merseyside club from Ajax last summer in a £23.6 million (Dh 115m) deal, made just seven Premier League appearances in the 2017-18 campaign and struggled to settle.

    Despite admitting recently he wanted to stay and fight for his place under new boss Marco Silva, the Turkish giants are keen to take the 25-year-old on a season-long loan deal next term.

    The Toffees are set to undergo a dramatic summer of change as new Director of Football Marcel Brands calls the shots, and as such, it remains to be seen whether Klaassen figures in his plans.

    It was a tough first season for Davy Klaassen.

    JULIAN NAGELSMANN

    The Hoffenheim manager boss has reportedly turned down a direct approach from Real Madrid to become Los Blancos’ new coach.

    According to Bild, Florentino Perez had sounded out the 30-year-old over the daunting task of replacing Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu.

    However, Nagelsmann, who has guided the Bundesliga side to consecutive Champions League appearances, has apparently rejected Real’s advances and is keen to carry on working in Germany.

    The young coach, who has a contract at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena club until 2021, is widely regarded as one of European football’s top up-and-coming coaches in the game.
