What the papers say

David De Gea is on his way out of Old Trafford and has been offered to a range of top European clubs, writes the Daily Mail. The paper said Dean Henderson will be the first choice goalkeeper at Manchester United and Paris St Germain, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will all be interested in bringing in the Spain international.

Martin Odegaard could be tempted away from Real Madrid if Liverpool came knocking, according to the Sun. The Norwegian is on loan at Arsenal having only made eight appearances for the Spanish giants since joining in 2015.

Manchester City could look to Romelu Lukaku to replace Sergio Aguero, writes the Sun. Aguero will be leaving the Etihad in June and the paper carries reports from Italy suggesting the Inter Milan striker is on City’s wishlist.

West Ham have been offered Vitolo, who has struggled for game time at Atletico Madrid, as a potential replacement for on-loan midfielder Jesse Lingard, the Sun says.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Juventus are all interested in Hakan Calhanoglu, the Daily Mirror says. The Turkish midfielder’s deal at AC Milan expires in the summer and he is yet to sign a new deal.
