Football transfer rumours: Inter’s André Onana to join Chelsea?

P aris Saint-Germain, all aquiver at the news that Kylian Mbappé wants out, are casting around in other creative areas. And Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is a target. What’s more, the Ligue 1 champions are prepared to throw in Marco Verratti and the Italy goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, as part of the deal, according to the French outlet Footmercato.

Talking of keepers, the Internazionale No 1 André Onana is tickling Chelsea’s fancy. The new Blues manager, Mauricio Pochettino, wants fresh blood between the sticks and is all ears when it comes to offers for Kepa Arrizabalaga and Édouard Mendy.

The widely admired Atalanta forward Rasmus Højlund has been making eyes at Manchester United, who are one of a number of clubs to have been linked with the Danish international. Although Harry Kane remains Erik ten Hag’s main attacking target, Hojlund is firmly on his radar and the player, who it has been noted has a new agent, flirtatiously said on Monday that he “must have done something right” if the stories about interest from Old Trafford were true. “My goal is to reach the top shelf, and you can say that Manchester United is,” he cooed.

Newcastle are sizing up a bid for the Wolfsburg midfielder Felix Nmecha.

Another subject of United interest is Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby but the protracted Old Trafford
