Paper Round: Barcelona battle Manchester United for £60m Willian
Barcelona battle United for Willian signature
Barcelona have bid £50 million for Chelsea
winger Willian. His current club turned down their first offer for the
29-year-old Brazil international. Barcelona have got so far as to meet
Willian’s representatives, but Manchester United are willing to offer
even more to secure his signature. Barcelona see his a playmaking
replacement for Andres Iniesta, who left the club in the summer.
Liverpool could keep faith in Mignolet

Liverpool may not be able to find a replacement for Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius. Mignolet will return from World Cup duty with Belgium to hold talks with Jurgen Klopp
over his future. Liverpool had expected to sign a new player to be
first-choice goalkeeper, but the process has been made difficult as they
can't currently afford Alisson, and have also been priced out of a move
for Atletico’s Jan Oblak.
Everton ready Tierney bid

Everton are ready to sign Kieran Tierney as they begin life under Marco Silva, with a £25m bid being prepared for Celtic’s defender. They have just freed up around £150,000 a week after letting Wayne Rooney move to DC United on a free transfer, but Tierney would be expected to provide cover at the back. Leighton Baines
is well into his thirties, so Tierney could take over from him at
left-back, while he has also demonstrated his talents at right-back for
his country.
Mitrovic set for Fulham switch
Mitrovic set for Fulham switch
Aleksandar Mitrovic could soon leave Newcastle United
for good. Having spent the second half of last season on loan at
Fulham, where he scored 12 goals in 20 appearances, the London club are
trying to find an agreement for a permanent deal. A fee of £20m has been
mentioned as Rafael Benitez
has been told much of his transfer budget has to come from playing
sales from the current squad, and he has no desire to keep the Serbian
23 year old.
