What the papers say
Real Madrid are going to test Liverpool this summer with a huge bid for Mohamed Salah, the Metro reports. The Reds forward is reportedly on Zinedine Zidane's shopping list following his 22-goal Premier League campaign. No figure has emerged yet, but the 26-year-old Egyptian, whose Anfield contract runs until 2023, is said to have a value in excess of £100million.
Paulo Dybala wants to leave Serie A giants Juventus and his agent has tipped off Manchester United, the Daily Mirror reports. Having spent the season in Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow the Argentine is said to want a move. Speculation has been growing over Romelu Lukaku's future at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and a sale could raise the cash needed to bring in Dybala.
United could also get a £15million payday without lifting a finger, should Crystal Palace sell Wilfried Zaha, the Daily Mail reports. The sell-on clause is said to be contained in the contract signed when the Ivorian return to Selhurst Park from Old Trafford in 2015 for a fee of £6million. The 26-year-old has reportedly asked to be sold on this summer in hope he will play Champions League football next season.
West Ham are considering giving Andy Carroll a new contract, the Sun reports. The injury-blighted striker, 30, is due to become a free agent this summer, although the Hammers are said to be sympathetic to his setbacks. The paper says Carroll's wages of around £100,000-a-week have cost the club around £31 million since he joined them for £15 million from Liverpool in 2013.
