Premier League transfer news: Toni Kroos, Alisson, Aleksandr Golovin, Marco Asensio

Real Madrid star Kroos is wanted by Man Utd
but he won’t come cheap

One-Minute Read

According to Spanish newspaper AS, United boss Jose Mourinho believes Kroos
would be an ideal addition to the Old Trafford midfield and the
German “could bring out the best” in Paul Pogba.

If United do bid for the 28-year-old German international
he won’t come cheap. AS says that Kroos has a four-year contract
with Real and the European champions will tell any potential
suitors they will have to “trigger the €500m [£441.9m] release
clause” in his contract.

Alisson Becker: Roma to Chelsea

Real Madrid and Liverpool had been favourites to sign Alisson
Becker from Roma, but it appears that Chelsea could swoop for
Brazil’s World Cup goalkeeper. It’s reported that Chelsea are close
to signing the 25-year-old for around £62m. A deal for Alisson
would surely see Thibaut Courtois leave Stamford Bridge – for
either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. (Metro via Marca)

Aleksandr Golovin: CSKA Moscow to
Chelsea

As well as Alisson, Chelsea are also keen on Russia star
Aleksandr Golovin. The 22-year-old midfielder has been linked with
Juventus and Arsenal, but the Blues have “initiated talks” with his
club CSKA Moscow. (Daily Mail)

Marco Asensio: Real Madrid to

Daniele Rugani: Juventus to Chelsea

Daniele Rugani’s move from Juventus to Chelsea will depend on
whether Maurizio Sarri is appointed as the new manager at Stamford
Bridge. Sarri is expected to replace Antonio Conte and Rugani’s
agent Davide Torchia said: “It’s obvious to say that the Sarri
issue must be resolved first. After that, we can proceed with the
negotiations and make them more or less concrete.” (The Sun)

Kieran Tierney: Celtic to Everton

Rooney: America was always the plan

Wayne Rooney last night completed his move from Everton to DC
United. Former England captain Rooney joins the Major League Soccer
(MLS) side on a three-and-a-half year. The 32-year-old said: “I
think it has always been part of my plans to come here [to America]
at some stage in my career, and the time is now. I have been really
excited with the project DC have put together and what they
presented to me – so that was the reason to come to DC.” (Sky Sports)
