Manchester are preparing a new bid to sign Kalidou Koulibaly. Napoli won’t accept less than €75m [add ons included] to sell their centre-back on this summer. Personal terms have been already agreed with Manchester City.

L’Équipe report that a host of European elite have made contact to sign 18-year-old French youth international attacker Georginio Rutter from Rennes.

In Germany, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have all made contact for the teenager who has 12 months remaining on his current contract.

For the moment, the Frenchman is remaining coy with interested parties – to stay with Rennes, he is not expecting a guaranteed place in the starting XI, but he wants to at least know that he will get game time if he is to consider signing a contract extension with SRFC.

Newcastle United, Arsenal and AC Milan have all also made enquiries.

Paris Saint-Germain are likely to hand striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting a contract extension. (Source: Telefoot)
