Real Madrid will not sign David De Gea this summer, reports Marca, with reporters close to the Bernabeu insisting that Keylor Navas will be backed.
The piece details how Manchester United were insisting on a €75 million fee for the Spain No. 1 after rejecting a lower offer from Los Blancos earlier this year.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has reportedly been offered to the Champions League winners, with the AC Milan goalkeeper's contract having only one year remaining.
That could mean a free transfer to Madrid in a year or a return to Old Trafford for De Gea, but Navas appears to be Zinedine Zidane's No. 1 for the time being.
Lionel Messi is ready to put pen to paper on a new contract with Barcelona, according to AS, and it will include an incredible €400 million buyout clause.
The 29-year-old's current deal was due to expire in 2018 but will now run to 2021, when current president Josep Maria Bartomeu's term ends.
Messi will pick up a huge €30 million per season after tax, which equates to a staggering £500,000 per week, with the news providing Barca a boost after a mediocre season.
Diego Costa has revealed that Chelsea told him by text that he will not be needed next season.
The stunning revelation comes after Spain drew 2-2 with Colombia in Murcia, and Costa has seemingly made his mind up about a summer departure.
"Chelsea contacted me by text to tell me I am not needed," the Blues forward said. "If they don't want me there, I'll have to search for a team."
Costa begrudgingly conceded that a move back to Atletico appears unlikely, with their transfer ban and the need to play in a World Cup year proving problematic.
Chelsea have moved Riyad Mahrez to the top of their summer wish list as they look to add depth behind Eden Hazard, the Telegraph reports.
Hazard underwent an ankle operation this week and will be out for up to three months, which makes the Algerian more of a priority.
Leicester want £50 million for the former PFA Player of the Year, but the Blues and Arsenal will not entertain bidding that much, which will likely force the Foxes to lower their demands.
Juventus left-back Alex Sandro is believed to be another priority, though the Brazilian is valued by the Bianconeri at £45 million, which could prove problematic.
AC Milan will sign Andrea Belotti, reports Corriere dello Sport, with the Rossoneri identifying "Il Gallo" as "the heir to Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
Milan have already failed with a bid for the Torino striker, which included Christian Zapata in part of the exchange and a fee of £39 million.
Sporting director Marco Fassone will send a higher offer to the Granata, with Lazio star Keita Balde another option at around €35 million.
-- Monaco will offer strike sensation Kylian Mbappe a new contract to fend off interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid, the Independent claims.
The French starlet has emerged as one of Europe's hottest young players, after a 26-goal season helped Les Rouges et Blancs capture the Ligue 1 title and reach the semifinals of the Champions League.
After manager Leonardo Jardim extended his contract with the Principality club, potential sales of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy, Thomas Lemar and Fabinho -- adding to Bernardo Silva -- will easily bring in more than £100 million in revenue, which makes it easier to resist bids for the 18-year-old.
-- Barcelona are actively pursuing a deal for Douglas Costa, reports Sport, with Ernesto Valverde demanding a right winger who can isolate opponents one-on-one with his speed and agility.
The Blaugrana face competition, though, with the €30 million asking price appealing to Juventus and Manchester United after the latter's pursuit of Antoine Griezmann ended in failure.
-- AS says Inter will ditch Argentine midfielder Ever Banega this summer just one year after signing him from Sevilla.
A deal is close to being agreed on with Mexican club Tigres, who will pay between €13 and 15 million, with new manager Luciano Spalletti not a fan of the former Valencia star.
