Antonio Conte is a huge fan of Bakayoko, and the former Italy boss hopes to put any dispute with the Blues' board behind him by clinching a deal for the Monaco star.

Jose Mourinho had been reportedly keen to be reunited with Matic before, and Bakayoko's arrival in the current system would mean a bench role next season for Matic.

Terry receives 10 "realistic" options to continue career

John Terry is just days away from officially becoming a free agent after 22 years at Chelsea, and the Telegraph reveals that the 36-year-old has up to 10 "realistic" offers to further his playing career.

The report claims Aston Villa have now made a concrete offer for Terry, with Steve Bruce keen on the former England skipper spearheading their charge for promotion to the Premier League.

Villa could offer Terry a deal worth up to £4m per season, including large bonuses and incentives, although owner Tony Xia would not comment on any deal for Terry.

Other offers will arrive in due course from the likes of Bournemouth, West Brom, Swansea and Birmingham, while Terry also could further his career with a spell in China or Major League Soccer.

Leicester line up Kelechi

Leicester are preparing a £25m swoop for Manchester City's attacking talent Kelechi Iheanacho, the Telegraph claims.

The Nigerian striker has seen his route to the first team blocked by Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, and now Pep Guardiola is prepared to let the 20-year-old leave.

The Foxes will face competition from Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham, but Craig Shakespeare is keen to upgrade his attack, and he sees the Super Eagles' talisman as a key target who could thrive alongside Jamie Vardy.

Roma eye Shaqiri as Salah replacement

Roma are looking into signing Stoke star Xherdan Shaqiri, with Mohamed Salah on the verge of moving to Liverpool, according to the Stoke Sentinel.

The Switzerland international cost the Potters £12m in 2015, and with the Reds set to pay the Giallorossi £35m for the Egyptian winger, Stoke could be in line for a decent profit on their investment in the former Inter star.

The 25-year-old has two years to run on his deal, meaning this summer could be the most profitable time to cash in on the former Bayern Munich winger.

Tap-ins

-- England under-21 star Jacob Murphy is attracting major interest from Premier League clubs Crystal Palace, West Brom, Southampton and Swansea, according to the Mirror.

The Norwich starlet helped turn the game against Slovakia around for the Young Lions at the Under-21 European Championships, and he could join the big time this summer for a fee of around £7m.

-- Hull City are set to lose Sam Clucas, with a host of clubs ready to pay £12m for the 26-year-old, the Mirror reports.

The Tigers likely will receive bids from Swansea, Burnley and Leicester, meaning new manager Leonid Slutsky will have to contend with another key player departing, after Curtis Davies joined Derby and Harry Maguire headed for Leicester.

-- Barcelona confirmed that they received and rejected a €35m (£30.8m) offer from a Premier League club for Andre Gomes, according to Marca.

The Blaugrana have responded by listing the Portugal international as non-transferable, despite a disappointing debut campaign after arriving from Valencia last summer for €35m, plus a further €20m in add-ons.

-- Manchester United's forgotten talent Adnan Januzaj could leave Old Trafford in a permanent move, with France Football reporting that Real Sociedad will pay €11m (£9.7m) for the Belgian.

After disappointing loan spells with Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland, United feel that the time is right to move the 22-year-old.
