Kolo Muani to Juventus talks underway
Juventus want Randal Kolo Muani, and PSG are in active talks to sell. A permanent deal around €30m is being discussed (1). Tottenham have also been linked, but Juve appear to be pushing hardest. The French forward never truly found his rhythm under Luis Enrique, and with Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos ahead of him, a summer exit makes sense for all sides. Jonathan David and Lois Openda have been mentioned as possible names in the broader striker reshuffle (2).
Batrakov trail goes cold
Aleksey Batrakov had been heavily linked with a move to the Parc des Princes, but that trail now appears to be fading. Reports suggest PSG are prioritising other midfield targets, and Lokomotiv Moscow are determined to keep the 20-year-old (3). Luis Campos seems to have moved on.
Kang-In Lee could be Atlético-bound
Atlético de Madrid are interested in bringing Kang-In Lee to La Liga this summer. Diego Simeone is reportedly an admirer, and the South Korean may find first-team opportunities limited at PSG next season (4). Nothing concrete yet, but it is one to watch.
Diomandé plays tonight, Liverpool circling
Yan Diomandé, the 19-year-old Leipzig winger courted by PSG, will feature in a friendly between France and Ivory Coast this Thursday evening (5). Liverpool have now made direct contact with Leipzig, and David Ornstein reports they are in the strongest position on the player's side. PSG interest remains firm but is less advanced at this stage. Leipzig are determined not to sell (6).
Fan reactions
The noise around Diomandé has fans on edge, with Liverpool's growing confidence a real concern. Threads are buzzing about Thomas Tuchel's praise for Ousmane Dembele, who the England boss singled out as the ultimate team player after being subbed off in a Champions League semifinal without complaint. Alessandro Longoni's expected arrival as third-choice keeper has also been met with quiet approval. Read the full discussion
