According to Edinson Cavani’s agent, Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool have made approaches for the Uruguayan’s services.

The striker is widely reported to leave France this Summer with the club desperate to raise funds in order to meet the Financial Fair Play rules.

The club confirmed today that they will not be signing Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid due to the transfer costing them too much, but they are working hard behind the scenes in order to sell a couple of top earners at the club.

Cavani is expected to leave, as is Ezequiel Lavezzi, who is also wanted by Liverpool.

With the 27-year-old expected to depart, his agent has already confirmed interest in him has been high already.

‘There has been much interest in the player during the last six months,’ Claudio Anelluci told El Telegrafo.

‘I can confirm that Cavani heard proposals from Liverpool and Arsenal.

‘[Cavani] Already said he would love to play in England, but has not yet made a final decision.

‘He is not interested in money and fame; just want to be happy playing football.’

Manchester United and Barcelona have been locked in a tussle for the centre back’s signature, but the La Liga giants launched a £10million bid.

Vermaelen had fallen behind Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker in the pecking order last season and Arsene Wenger hinted the Belgian could leave in the summer.

United had previously been pursuing Mats Hummels but that appears to be dead in the water.

Reports suggest United are closing in on a deal for Vermaelen and he has verbally agreed personal terms of £100,000-a-week.

Vermaelen currently takes home around £70,000-a-week.

Moreover, with Calum Chambers destined to be given the chance to shine at centre half, Vermaelen’s days at the Emirates appear to be numbered.

Arsenal have already lavished around £60m so far this transfer window.

Liverpool are desperate to land a replacement for Luis Suarez, and with the new season rapidly approaching, attention has turned to Icardi.

A quick and intelligent forward, the 21-year-old has often been compared to Suarez and the Daily Express says Liverpool are set to make a £16million bid.

Inter had slapped a £28million price tag on Icardi earlier this summer and will try and get the Reds to boost their offer before contemplating doing business.

However, Icardi has previously hinted in the Italian media that he’d like to play in the Premier League and that could prove crucial in forcing through a deal.

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has revealed his desire to leave Old Trafford this summer after holding crunch talks with manager Louis Van Gaal.

The Belgium international has struggled to make an impact in a Manchester United shirt having moved from Everton for the huge sum of £27.5 million last summer.

Italian side Napoli have come out publicly declaring their interest in taking the midfielder on loan for the 2014-15 season with Rafa Benitez suggesting he would move for the player once talks with Van Gaal had taken place.

Fellaini famous for his powerful play and afro haircut is believed to want to continue playing Champions League football something which curent club Manchester United cannot offer this season.

With Arturo Vidal’s reported imminent arrival at Old Trafford there could be further frustration for Fellaini this season if he was to stay so he would like the move tied up asap.

Rafa Benitez has confessed that he requires quick additions to his squad ahead of their Champions League qualifier so everything is being put in place for the move to happen in the coming days.

Julian Draxler is not surprised that Arsenal did not match his buy out clause, admitting that he did not play well enough last season.

The Schalke attacking midfielder was heavily linked to Arsenal in the previous transfer windows, however, deals broke down and Arsenal turned to Alexis Sanchez instead.

And Draxler admitted to German Newspaper Bild that he did not justify his £37 million price tag due to his Bundesliga performances.

“The [buy-out clause] stayed with me,”

“I did not play like 20 clubs were ready to pay this sum for me last season. I have to become attractive to big clubs again.

“Now I know what it’s meant to be the bogeyman. After the derby loss to Dortmund, it felt like I was the only one who was blamed for it.”

The player scored just twice in a frustrating season, but has already targeted double fugures next season.

He added: “This season, 10 goals should be possible for me. If our squad stays together, we can compete for the top three places. We can compete with Dortmund and Bayern.”

The Italian Serie A champions have already opened up negotiations with several British based football agents, as they seek to add to their midfielder.

The 22 year old has also had several injuries to contend with over the last few seasons, and if an offer did come in for the England intenational, Wenger could ponder any deal, with the Gunners boss angry at Wilshere’s recent antics.

Manchester United are close in their attempts to sign Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.

It appears that Vidal has agreed a bumper contract worth £182,000 a week to arrive at Old Trafford and will hopefully complete the move in the near future.

Despite Italian giants Juventus claiming that they had set a deadline on the transfer on August the 6th, it is understood that Vidal has agreed a five-year contract.

United will now have to wait patiently for Vidal, as the player will push a move-away from the club.

Juventus have slapped a £42 million pound asking price on the player, but the Red Devils will hope to land the player for cheaper if he tries to force an exit.

Tottenham have launched a bid for wanted Marseille man Florian Thauvin.

However, Spurs will be battling rivals Arsenal and Chelsea for the player’s signature with Atletico Madrid also holding firm interest in the Frenchman.

Thauvin was involved in a complex transfer saga last year, where he eventually went on striker to force a move away from Lille.

And this year it appears that the midfielder could be set to move on again, despite Marseille insisting the player is not for sale.

Marseille president Vincent Labrune recently told RMC: “He is one of the greatest talents of his generation.

“OM have great hopes for him. I hope this year will be Thauvin’s year.

“He’s done the perfect preparation. I’m hoping he will explode.”

It is understood that Tottenham will attempt to sign Memphis Depay if they fail to sign Thauvin this summer window.

Spanish giants Barcelona had made a formal £10m bid for the unsettled Belgian this week but a £15m offer from Van Gaal’s Manchester United has knocked the deal into the Red Devils’ favour.

Both clubs have had the Arsenal skipper on their radar throughout the summer, and it was Barcelona who looked set to acquire Vermaelen’s services but United may have won the race for the centre back.

After giving up on the signing of Mats Hummels from Borussia Dortmund, United seem confident that they will snap up a deal in the coming weeks for Thomas Vermaelen.

Arsene Wenger would’ve preferred to not have to sell to a fellow Premier League side but with the extra money, it may be a tough deal to turn down.

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that the club has turned down a number of enquiries from Italy and England for the former FC Basel star.

Shaqiri has been linked to a move away from the Allianz this summer, and reports claim that Arsenal and Liverpool have attempted to lure the Swiss away from Germany.

In an interview with Bayern’s official website he stated: “We’ve had several enquiries from teams in England and Italy. I’ve never had a conversation because we are convinced he will have a good career with us.”

Liverpool are still looking to use their money from departed striker Luis Suarez to strengthen their squad even further.

Arsene Wenger ‘desperate’ to land Marco Reus

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ‘desperate’ to sign Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus this Summer, despite his knee injury keeping him out until September.

The German international has been strongly linked with a move away from the Bundesliga, and after he rejected a contract extension from Dortmund, rumours started hotting up about where his next destination could be, with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal all interested.

However, according to reports, it is Arsenal that are in pole position to sign the 25-year-old and with Reus’ release clause revealed at only £19.8million, a potential deal could take place this Summer with Wenger desperate to wrap it up as quickly as possible.

It’s been suggested that Arsenal are willing to meet the release clause, and they also have no problems matching Reus’ wage-demands, and Wenger is keen to fend off interest from others in order to land the German.

It was reported earlier this Summer that The Gunners had already had a deal agreed with Dortmund for Reus, but the transfer broke down after the midfielder suffered a nasty knee injury just days before the World Cup.

Liverpool are reportedly feeling very confident regarding their chances of signing AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao, despite the French club insisting he is going nowhere.

Falcao, who returned from a serious injury at the weekend, scored the winning goal on Sunday against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup, and his future has been in the air after he admitted that he didn’t like the lack of competition in France.

This sparked rumours that Real Madrid and Chelsea would make formal moves for him, but according to reports, Liverpool are in pole position to land the Colombian.

An Italian journalist reported yesterday that ‘a very good source’ told her that talks between Liverpool and Monaco have been ongoing, and that they are positive, but she insisted that the deal isn’t done yet, but it looks like The Reds are favourites to land the 28-year-old.

It’s believed the deal would be a loan move at first, with the option to make it permanent for next season.

Daniel Agger begs for Liverpool transfer

Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger has begged Brendan Rodgers to let him leave the club, after the two held a meeting to discuss his future.

The Dane was later consolled by senior members of the team after he started crying due to his love for Liverpool, but he admitted that he simply couldn’t continue to be a fringe player at the club.

The 29-year-old hasn’t enjoyed regular game time under Rodgers, and now Dejan Lovren has been signed from Southampton, Agger’s chances of first-team football have been damaged even more, and he is now set for a Summer exit with Arsenal and FC Barcelona reportedly interested.

Arsenal are keen to sign a centre-back due to the imminent departure of Thomas Vermaelen, whilst Barca are low on centre-backs after Carles Puyol’s retirement.

It’s believed the Spanish side want to sign Vermaelen, but if the Belgium goes to Manchester United instead, they are likely to turn their attentions to Agger, who could cost them around £12million.

New Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has revealed his reasons for joining the club from Arsenal this summer.

“Players are here to work and to win trophies,” Sagna said.”I was watching them (City) celebrating last season and I wanted to celebrate at the same time and win trophies, and the best way to do that is to work, to wake up every day and give the maximum effort”.

The Frenchman joined Kolo Toure, Gael Glichy, Emmanuel Adebayor and Samir Nasri, who all made the switch from the Emirates Stadium to the Etihad Stadium in recent years.

Sagna is in line to make his competitive debut for City in Sunday’s Community Shield, ironically against his former club. Sagna, though, insists it is “just another game”.
