Arsenal favourites to sign Andre Gomes
Arsenal lead Chelsea in the race to sign Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes, the bookies claim.

The Gunners are keen to spend this summer, with Unai Emery said to have a £70m transfer war chest.

Arsenal have already signed Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Bernd Leno, and according to the bookies, Gomes could be Emery’s next summer signing.

“Andre Gomes could be set for a transfer to the Premier League, with Arsenal the clear 6/4 favourites to sign the 24-year-old,” said BetStars spokesman Ian Marmion.

“The Blues can be found at 4/1 to complete a deal for Gomes, whilst Tottenham are also in the mix at 8/1. AC Milan round up the betting market with odds of 16/1 to snap up the Portuguese international.”
Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo is already searching for a house in Turin ahead of his move from Real Madrid to Juventus, according to reports in Spain.

Real Madrid are currently considering an £88million offer from the Italian champions, with Ronaldo tipped to sign a four-year deal worth in excess of £105million.

Madrid-based newspaper Marca – who are often credited with being a mouthpiece of Real – say the 33-year-old is looking for properties in Turin.

Marca say ‘the player is aware that he would be leaving a city behind that has been very good to him and his family, he’s enjoyed a very happy life in the Spanish capital, but he’s already thinking about his possible future in Italy’.

Should be a few properties within his budget…




Alisson Becker update
Chelsea transfer target Alisson Becker will not leave Roma before the World Cup ends, according to his agent Ze Maria Neis.

Alisson has forged a reputation as one of the globe’s top goalkeepers and he went to the World Cup as his country’s No 1.

The 25-year-old is wanted by Chelsea as Thibaut Courtois look set to head for the exit door having failed to sign a new deal.

Liverpool are likewise interested in getting Alisson on-board as they seek to replace current first-choice stopper Loris Karius.

Neis says a deal for his client to head to the Premier League is not going to be pushed through imminently though.




“Nothing will happen in the next few days,” Neis told Italian station Tele Radio Stereo. “Alisson is 100 per cent focussed on the World Cup.”
Alex Sandro to Manchester United
Alex Sandro has agreed terms to join Manchester United, Duncan Castles claims.

The Juventus left-back is a long-term target for Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho as he seeks to bolster his defence at Old Trafford.

And according to transfer expert Castles, a deal has been agreed with Sandro, and all that’s halting the move is Juve’s £53m asking price.

Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast: “This summer United have decided to go for Alex Sandro.

“They have put a deal in place with the player, the player wants to (join) and Juventus are holding out for up to 60million euros (£53m).

“They (Juventus) have seen the market and are thinking they can cash in big time.”
