So, if we should summarize the rumours floating at the moment it would be something like:

Di Marzio:
- Negotiations for Benatia, price around 18 million €?
- Interest in Alexis Sanchez and Chicarito.
- Interest in Kante, clause 25 €.

Goal:
- Caprari closer to Inter (thought we were close).
- United offer for Pogba.
- Mascherano impossible, Gomes too expensive, so interest in Kante.
- Lucas Hernandez of Atletico or Benatia or Mustafi for defense.
- Alexis or Jesus as a striker, last one has interest from Inter as well. Chicarito as an alternative.
- Camoranesi: "With Messi Juve would win CL" :lol:

Sky:
- Closing in on Benatia.
- Kanté new idea for CM after other targets seem out of reach.
- Chicarito links.
- Inter trying for Jesus, Napoli for Witsel and Milan for Pjaca (was he even linked to us?).

GDS:
- Between Inter and Juve for Jesus. Ronaldo (the fat one) with advice.
- Morata for Chelsea since Hazard will go to Real.
- Three possibilities for attack: Cavani, Alexis and Chicarito (better not be the latter then). Cavani would depend on PSG getting someone like Higuain (that would be hilarious).
- Marchetti possible as Buffon back-up, Isla could go to Lazio since Bielsa likes.

Tuttosport:
- Paratici and his crew looking at Milik and Gomes at the Euro QF.
- Juve trying to lower price for Gomes
- De Sciglio possible if Lichtsteiner leaves
- Pereyra on his way out, West Ham wants Zaza, Offers for Lemina.
- Mascherano still possible, especially after Umtiti-deal and if Barca gets Marquinhos from PSG. Lemina to go if Masch joins. Also Kante links.
- Alexis a target for attack, but Wenger won't let go
- Benatia for defense

La Stampa:
- Benatia links
- United trying for Pogba

CDS:
- United for Pogba (all of these has references to the same l'Equipe article)
- Alexis links
- Rosseti to Ascoli
- Duel with Roma for Benatia


Seems like they are reporting much of the same, doesn't mean there's any truth to it, could also be a sign they aren't too sure what's going on at the moment. I bet things aren't moving that fast either, summer is still long after all. But seems like we are after a central defender and a striker - and that we are eager to add a guy to midfield, but some of the rotational players have to go.
+rep... Great summaries, keep doing it

If we arelooking at poles then please no Milik. Lewandowski is great, but out of reach, Krychowiak would be a nice addition, but Emery got his hands on him and we already have a top 2nd gk

Chicharito is a great player and a great guy, but I have a feeling that he wouldn't suit Serie A. The guy lives of spaces and getting separation of defenders and he wouldn't get any of that playing here. Even though he has improved technically over the last few years, he's still a fairly limited player in that aspect.

- please no Chicarito
- I'd like to see Kante here
- I'd love to see Alexis here
- I'd love to see Benatia without injuries here
:tup:

if we hold on to pogba, that's already a positive mercato, even with the loss of morata & cuadrado. both pjanic and alves belong to the elite on their respective positions.
