Big money moves between top European clubs make headlines on Tuesday.

What the papers say

Paul Pogba is interested in a move away from Manchester over the summer, with Real Madrid leading the race to sign the midfielder, reports the Daily Telegraph. Any switch would rely heavily on Manchester United lowering their £160million valuation of the 26-year-old, the paper adds.

Sticking with the Red Devils, and the club are said to have made contact with Juventus about an £85million deal for striker Paulo Dybala, according to the Daily Mirror.

Juventus may be looking to make a move for Liverpool target Julian Brandt, reports the Daily Mirror. The German winger is currently on the books of Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester City are expected to close a deal for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes in a transfer which could be worth £47million, reports the Daily Mail.
