Moussa Sissoko is a man in demand after his eye-catching performance in the European Championships final on Sunday - and that display could seal him a move to Manchester United.

Newcastle United want £35million for the 26-year-old and, according to Le 10 Sport, Jose Mourinho may be willing to move for Sissoko if he misses out on his international team-mate Paul Pogba.

And what of Pogba? His talkative agent, Mino Raiola, has now suggested that United are not the only major club interested in signing his client this summer.

“The transfer market is open for a long time – it closes in September," he said. "Between Raiola and all the clubs in the world there is a line open, not only with Manchester United.”

In more midfielder news, Cesc Fabregas could be in line for a reunion with his old manager at Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mirror.

Fabinho - Monaco

An extremely versatile player Mourinho sees him more as a defensive midfielder and could be used to give Paul Pogba, last summer's big addition, more freedom. Monaco aren't in any rush to lose any more first team stars this summer though and are likely to demand a hefty fee. Likelihood: 7/10

Eric Dier - Tottenham

United have already had a bid less than £25m rejected for the defensive midfielder and know they must more than double it to have any hope of signing Dier, who is understood to want the move.

Gareth Bale - Real Madrid

The Real Madrid forward would be a marquee signing, the type that the Manchester United boardroom are keen to make, and The Independent has been told by sources from both United and Madrid that a deal is 'much likelier' than ever before. The player himself though is happy in the Spanish capital. Likelihood: 5/10

Willian - Chelsea

Mourinho is a huge admirer of Willian, who he signed in 2013 while at Chelsea. The pair won a Premier League title and League Cup double together the following year and it is believed that the United manager will do his best to sign the player, who has not been a regular starter in Antonio Conte’s system. Whether Chelsea will allow him to leave, particularly to join Mourinho at their rivals is yet to be seen. Likelihood: 4/10

Andrea Belotti - Torino

Another of Europe’s most promising players, Belotti is fast becoming well-known after his outstanding performances at Torino, where he has scored 37 goals in 64 appearances since 2015. His best years are still ahead of him aged just 23, which contributes to the incredible €100m release clause, applicable only to clubs outside of Italy, negotiated into his contract. Torino are in no hurry to sell and will drive a hard bargain with any deal likely to start at upwards of £70m. Likelihood: 7/10

The 29-year-old Spain international joined Mourinho’s Chelsea two years ago and was instrumental in their 2014/15 title-winning campaign.

Antonio Conte, who begins work at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, is keen to sign new midfielders and could sanction Fabregas’ sale.

One confirmed deal is the 20-year-old England youth international Ashley Fletcher’s move to West Ham United.

Fletcher, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Barnsley and scored in both the Football League Trophy and League One play-off finals, has signed a four-year deal with the east London club.

Reece Oxford may move in the other direction, according to the Daily Mail.
