Dani Alves to Manchester United, Mario Balotelli and Juan Cuadrado to AC Milan plus the latest on Raheem Sterling feature in Friday's papers.
BARCELONA FEAR ALVES EXIT
Barcelona are suspicious that Dani Alves may already have signed a pre-contract agreement with Manchester United, according to Spanish website Fichajes.net.
The Brazil right-back, 32, has been open in saying he will listen to offers and will not make a decision until after Saturday's Champions League final, but he has strongly hinted he will move on.
"I am with the team 200 per cent but with the board, about 10 per cent - as it is, I have one foot, half a body and almost my head out of the club," Alves said recently.
STERLING OPEN TO UNITED MOVE
Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling is open to a move to Manchester United, according to the Guardian, but concerned how the transfer would be received given the fierce rivalry between the clubs.
It has been claimed that Sterling would prefer a move to London, while Liverpool are said to have already ruled out doing business with their North-West rivals, but Sterling is said to be keen to explore the possibility of playing for Louis van Gaal.
The newspaper says a firm United offer for the 20-year-old could start a bidding war, with Manchester City and Real Madrid monitoring developments.
MILAN EYE BALOTELLI AND CUADRADO
Another Liverpool player that could leave Anfield this summer is Mario Balotelli, who Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claims is among the targets of incoming AC Milan boss Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Mihajlovic reportedly tried to sign Balotelli for Sampdoria in January and is now interested in working with him at Milan, although Sampdoria's Stefano Okako and Pedro Obiang are also on his list of potential purchases.
Mihajlovic is also interested in Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado, according to the Daily Star, with Jose Mourinho open to the idea of selling the Colombian just five months after signing him from Fiorentina.
Roma are also said to have enquired about the 27-year-old's availability.
