Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout him, so where will Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 28, end up…?

It might be Juventus. Apparently, he is “increasingly tempted” by a move to Turin next summer…
Daily Mail

…or it could be Paris St-Germain, who it seems are rather keen on the Welsh international joining them…
L’Equipe

…and rather generously, PSG are willing to give Arsenal £9m which should leave the Gunners with about 3p once they’ve paid Ramsey his bonuses due in his contract…
Daily Mirror

…but if they can’t land Ramsey, Paris St-Germain will give Thomas Tuchel Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, 29.
L’Equipe

Manchester United are a trifling matter according to Tottenham. They are more concerned with Real Madrid taking Mauricio Pochettino next summer…
Daily Telegraph

…so they will have to make do with Max Allegri. The Juventus boss is taking English lessons ahead of taking over at Manchester United next summer.
The Times

Daily Mirror

It’s a headline writers dream. Real Madrid want Real Betis full-back Junior Firpo, 22, who is also interesting Arsenal and Manchester City. Anyone’s battle royale becoming a batalla real?
