Premier League transfer news: Willian, Nabil Fekir, N’Golo Kante, Alisson

Manchester United preparing £60m bid for
Chelsea and Brazil star Willian

One-Minute Read

The playmaker, who is on duty for Brazil at the World Cup,
previously played under United boss Jose Mourinho at Stamford
Bridge. The Daily Mail reports that Mourinho is keen for a
reunion with the 29-year-old and is plotting a £60m bid.

Willian won the Chelsea Players’ Player of the Year award
last month but is reportedly “finding life on the bench difficult”
at the Blues. He has two years left on his contract at Stamford
Bridge.

Nabil Fekir: Lyon to

week and according to reports, the French side have offered him to
Premier League clubs for £66m. Spurs will rival Chelsea for the
24-year-old forward. (The Sun)

N’Golo Kante: Chelsea to PSG/Real
Madrid

Despite being linked with moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Real
Madrid, Chelsea defensive midfielder N’Golo Kante is refusing to
discuss his club future while on duty at the World Cup with France.
He said: “I am not concerned with all that. Today, I am at Chelsea,
and today I am currently living and playing in the World Cup, that
is what comes first. I am not paying attention to what is being
said on the club side of things at the moment.” (Daily Express)

Alisson’s Real move not yet
confirmed

Roma goalkeeper Alisson is reportedly on the verge of a transfer
to Real Madrid, but despite agreeing terms with the European
champions, a deal is not yet cut and dry. Roma want €70m (£61.2m)
for Alisson but Real only want to spend €50m (£43.7m) – so Premier
League clubs Liverpool and Chelsea may still be in contention to
sign the Brazilian. (Daily Express via Gazzetta dello Sport)
