Paris St Germain bid for Alexis Sanchez, 28, hit a snag. They can’t agree a fee with Arsenal nor do they want to pay the wages he’s demanding. Other than those minor hiccups, it’s all going swimmingly.

Daily Telegraph
Inter Milan won’t sell Ivan Perisic, 28, unless the right offer comes along. Manchester United are the only ones with an offer but it’s not the right one. Yet.
Daily Mirror
