What the papers say

Manchester City are interested in a move for Leicester midfielder James Maddison this summer, the Daily Mail reports. The 26-year-old will soon be entering the final 12 months of his £100,000-a-week contract at the King Power Stadium and has so far shown no inclination to sign an extension.

While the Daily Echo reports via Sky Sport Italia that Bournemouth have turned down the chance to sign Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo. The 23-year-old Italy international supposedly had a change of heart about joining the south coast club.

Elsewhere, the Daily Mirror says Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech‘s loan move to Paris St Germain appears to have collapsed after the Blues messed up the necessary paperwork. The 29-year-old had been expected to complete a switch to PSG on deadline day before it emerged Chelsea had provided the wrong documents and the transfer was not completed in time.
