Paper Round: Manchester United and City battle for Kylian Mbappe
Manchester United to battle City for Mbappe
Manchester United and Manchester City could be going head to head for yet another player. This time, it’s 19-year-old Kylian Mbappe, who was on loan to Paris Saint-Germain from Monaco. A permanent £166m deal has been completed, but PSG have already spent £198m on Neymar last summer, and may need to balance the books quickly. Both United and City could take the teenager off their hands.

Manchester United are switching their defensive targets. Alex Sandro of Juventus
had been reported as their number one target at left-back, but Juventus
have priced him out of a move by asking for £50m for the Brazil
international. PSG are also interested in the player. That has led
United and Mourinho to find a more affordable alternative, which is Jose
Luis Gaya of Valencia, who is rated at around £30m.

Jorginho’s move to Manchester City has been agreed in principle,
according to his agent. The club are yet to agree a fee for the
26-year-old Italian international, but are said to be on the cusp of a
compromise with Napoli.
His agent Joao Santos is confident, though, with his client now on
holiday he said: “"We have a verbal agreement with City, now we are
waiting for Napoli to find the agreement and Manchester [City] to define
the deal. Everything depends on this aspect, next week could be the
one.”
Mitrovic valued by Newcastle

Aleksandar Mitrovic has played well for Serbia in the World Cup,
which might surprise those who have seen him unhappy with Newcastle for
some time. However, Newcastle are not going to sell him on the cheap,
having been quoted big sums whenever they themselves have tried to buy
players. That means they will accept nothing less than £20m from clubs
such as Fulham, Crystal Palace and Wolves, and there is interest from Germany.
