Transfer rumours: Man City want Rice; Rudiger's Real Madrid salary

Manchester City are showing interest in West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, who is already a summer target for Manchester United and has long also been linked with Chelsea.

Should Antonio Rudiger sign for Real Madrid as increasingly expected, his contract at the Bernabeu could be a bumper one worth in excess of the equivalent of £200,000-per-week.

Paul Pogba has left the Manchester United squad chat on WhatsApp, having received contract offers from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

Any announcement on the future of Kylian Mbappe is set to be delayed until after PSG have played the final game of their season next month. The Frenchman could yet sign a new contract with the club or move elsewhere, potentially Real Madrid, as a free agent.

PSG could be open to letting Neymar leave Parc des Princes but will keep Lionel Messi, who has a contract until 2023 with an option until 2024.

Reims president Jean-Pierre Caillot has confirmed that in-demand striker Hugo Ekitike will be ‘allowed to go’ this summer and will ‘probably leave’. Newcastle, West Ham and the Premier League's ‘big six’ have all been linked.

Antonio Conte may demand six new signings to stay as Tottenham head coach. The Italian has been linked with signing a two-year deal at PSG.
