Liverpool reject £150m approaches for Salah

Mohamed Salah has been subject to considerable interest from Real Madrid and Juventus, according to The Daily Mirror, with both clubs lining up £150m offers for the player.

Liverpool have naturally rejected the approaches but are now on red alert, particularly following Salah's own admission that he would review his situation at Anfield next summer.

The Mirror adds that manager Jurgen Klopp is monitoring the situation and has been involved in discussions with the club's hierarchy in a bid to secure the Egyptian's future at Liverpool.

Jesus: Aguero and me aren't going anywhere

Gabriel Jesus has insisted that both he and Sergio Aguero are staying put at Manchester City.

The Brazilian has seen limited game time at the Etihad, sparking reports that he is looking for more minutes at a different club.

It's also been suggested that Aguero is considering a return to Independiente in the near future as he considers retirement.

But Jesus has dismissed both sets of reports.

In the wake of Brazil's 3-0 win against Bolivia in the opening game of the Copa America, Jesus said: "I think it's out of the question that Aguero leaves and me too.

"[Aguero] is a legend at the club - he's the top scorer [of all time]. Obviously as a player I always want to play, but I'm happy to help and I respect Sergio."

Richarlison urges Neres to join him at Everton

Richarlison has urged Brazil teammate David Neres to join him at Everton this summer.

The Toffees have recently been linked with a move for the winger, who caught the eye during Ajax's impressive Champions League run.

And speaking in the wake of Brazil's Copa America victory over Bolivia, Richarlison said: "Yeah, I read something about that. I've spoken to him about it already. I told him the doors are open for him there, and that he could help us a lot."

Juventus eye £30m move for Trippier

Juventus will make a £30m move for Tottenham's Kieran Trippier should they sell Joao Cancelo, their Portugal right-back, to Manchester City, according to The Times.

The Serie A champions have been in discussion with City over a deal for Cancelo, but it appears an impasse has been reached over the 25-year-old.

This leaves the move for Trippier up in the air, though The Times reports that Juventus see the Spurs man as an upgrade to Cancelo.

Trippier, who has been priced at £30m, has three years remaining on his contract at Tottenham and is not currently under pressure to leave.

It looks like there's been a mixed reaction to Pogba's declaration he wants a "new challenge". For some United fans, the midfielder has failed to deliver during his time at Old Trafford. As such, his departure would mark an opportunity to move forward and start again.

For others, his exit would be a significant loss and the latest indicator that United's hierarchy is failing to make the most of the talent among the club's ranks.

Writing earlier this year on the Pogba debate, here's chief sports writer Jonathan Liew's take on the matter:

United to miss out on Griezmann to Barcelona

Antoine Griezmann is expected to sign for Barcelona next month, with Manchester United unable to convince the Frenchman to make the move to Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mirror.

United bosses have tabled a £95m bid but it's thought Barcelona are splashing out £110m to land the Atletico Madrid forward.

The Mirror adds that Griezmann's desire to play alongside Lionel Messi has helped convince him of making the move to Barcelona over United.
