TOP STORY: Man United make £50m bid for Fernandes

Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes has been linked with a move to Manchester United throughout the summer -- and according to the Daily Mirror it's now all systems go.

It is reported that United have lodged a bid of £50 million to finally land the midfielder, offering wages of £100,000-a-week.

Tottenham have been mentioned in relation to the 24-year-old, who scored 31 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions for Sporting last season, but United have always been at the head of the queue.

PAPER ROUND (by James Capps)

Dortmund "Kean" on move for Moise

Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund are plotting a move for young Juventus striker Moise Kean, according to reports at Calciomercato.

Dortmund had initially been linked with a move for Kean's Juve teammate Mario Mandzukic, but Lucien Favre's side are now believed to have turned their attention to a forward 14 years younger than the Croatian, as they search for their next future star.

Signing Kean won't come cheap, however, with Juventus having already rejected a bid of around €30 million from Everton, and Calciomercato also claims that Ajax are in talks with the Bianconeri regarding a deal for the three-cap Italy international.

Reports reckon it will take a bid of at least €40 million to convince the Serie A champions to sell the 19-year-old, who burst on to the scene last season with seven goals in 17 league appearances.

Milan looking for Modric magic

Real Madrid's Luka Modric is on Milan's radar should the La Liga side decide to sell the Croatian sensation.

According to Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio, the player's agent was meeting with Madrid officials over other clients when the possibility of Modric going to the Italian club emerged.

The Spanish side aren't actively looking to sell the Balon d'Or winner, but parting ways with Modric could help Los Blancos buoy future spending.

Roma's Alderweireld chase could cost club Zaniolo

Roma are close to striking a deal that sees Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld head to the Eternal City, but reports in The Mirror claim they may have to lose one of their rising stars if they are to land the Belgian.

The sticking point in negotiations so far has been the Serie A side's reluctance to meet the £25 million release clause in Alderweireld's contract in north London, but negotiations could be about to make a breakthrough, with Tottenham interested in Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.

The 20-year-old Italy international is angling for a pay rise at the Stadio Olimpico, but officials in Rome have told him to earn one on the pitch first, and Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to use those tensions to his club's advantage as talks continue between the two sides.
