Man Utd open Alex Sandro talks
Manchester United have made contact with Alex Sandro's agent, but face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the Juventus defender, reports Gazzetta dello Sport .
Jose Mourinho is expected to sign a new left-back in the summer and a deal for Brazil international Alex Sandro would likely cost in excess of €50 million (£43.8m/$58.3m).
Juventus are hoping to tie Alex Sandro down to a new contract , but may have to ward off interest from rival clubs to achieve their aim.
Hazard pushing for Sarri at Chelsea
Eden Hazard is pushing for Chelsea to appoint former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri to replace current manager Antonio Conte, according to Gazzetta dello Sport .
Chelsea are close to agreeing a two-year contract with Sarri , worth £5 million per season, and Hazard is keen for the Italian to take over at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard has spoken to Napoli attacker Dries Mertens about Sarri and has been pleased with what he has heard from his Belgium international team-mate.
West Ham want Barcelona defender
West Ham are interested in signing Barcelona defender Marlon Santos this summer, reports Mundo Deportivo .
Santos is currently on a two-year loan at Nice, but Barcelona have the option to recall the Brazilian and would be open to selling for the right price.
Barcelona are now waiting for West Ham to make an offer for the 22-year-old, who has also been linked with fellow Premier League side Leicester.
Martinez saw Man City & Barca moves blocked
Inigo Martinez has accused Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay of blocking a move to Manchester City, after a transfer to Barcelona also fell through.
The centre-back caused a stir when he left Anoeta to join Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao in January as a replacement for Aymeric Laporte, who had joined City for a fee of €65 million (£57m/$76m).
Martinez had himself been linked with a move to the Premier League club, while it had looked likely he would join Barca in the previous transfer window only for the deal to collapse at the last moment.
