Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic could figure in Tottenham’s plans for the future, according to reports.
According to the Daily Express, Spurs are interested in the Bosnia and Herzegovina player (31), who previously played under Tottenham’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratic, at Juventus.
The Mirror reports Barcelona are willing to accept less for Philippe Coutinho than they paid Liverpool in add-ons for the 29-year-old. The Spanish club paid £142 million – £105m up front, £37m in add-ons – for the Brazil international when he left Anfield in Janaury 2018, but the midfielder has struggled to make an impact in LaLiga. The Mirror cites Football Espana as saying Barca are now willing to accept offers as low as £20m for Coutinho.
Manchester City left back Benjamin Mendy is said to be on Inter Milan’s shortlist this summer. The Manchester Evening News refers to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport as reporting the France international (26) is being considered as an option at Inter.
John Lundstram could reportedly be picked up by Rangers this off-season. The English midfielder is a free agent after finishing his contract at Sheffield United and the Mail says the 27-year-old is considered a possible option at Ibrox.
