      And Di Lorenzo will almost certainly line up for Italy against England at Wembley on Sunday in what would be his fifth start of the tournament.
      But his club career now looks to be up in the air following rumours linking him with a move to Man Utd before the start of next season.
      According to Il Napolista, the Red Devils have been alerted to the 27-year-old after he revealed during the Euros that he likes the Premier League.
      The move for Di Lorenzo is said to be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s way of bringing in some competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.
      But if they are to prize him away from Napoli then they will have to stump up £17million.
      Man Utd have been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid and England defender Kieran Trippier.
      But it is thought United are not willing to meet the transfer demands of the LaLiga club.

      So now Di Lorenzo is the frontrunner to arrive at Old Trafford this summer and threaten Wan-Bissaka’s place on the right side of their defence.
      Di Lorenzo joined Napoli from Empoli in 2019 for just £6.83m and has gone on to play 95 times for the club, scoring seven goals.
      Meanwhile, Man Utd have been busy in the transfer market already as they look to finalise deals for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho and Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.

      Man Utd ‘very tempted’ by transfer move for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti with Arsenal also keen on French star

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly very tempted by a move for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti. But while the Red Devils are keen to land Umtiti, they could face competition from Arsenal.

      According to Gol, the Red Devils are leading the chase for the powerful centre-back.
      The French defender fell out of favour under Ronald Koeman at the Nou Camp last season.
      Umtiti was limited to just 16 appearances for Barca and the 27-year-old is likely to be interested in a move to the Premier League.
      The defender was linked with a move to Everton at the end of last year but Carlo Ancelotti’s exit could end this possibility.
      United are focused on strengthening their squad to push rivals Man City after finishing second in the Premier League last season.
      And experienced defender Umtiti would add another physical presence alongside Harry Maguire.
      United have also been strongly linked with a move for Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane.
      But Arsenal have also shown an interest in Umtiti and could offer competition for his signature.

      The Gunners started their summer rebuild by signing Benfica left-back Nuno Tavares in an £8million deal.
      Barca are reportedly ready to offload Umtiti as they attempt to cut their wage bill due to their financial problems which have been worsened by the pandemic.
      And their focus is on persuading superstar Lionel Messi to stay after his contract expired this summer.

      “He’ll still be with us next season.”
      Former Manchester City star Danilo and Ronaldo played together at Real Madrid between 2015 and 2017 before reuniting in Italy two years ago.
      The Portuguese forward has been prolific for Juventus since joining the club in July 2018, scoring 81 goals in 97 Serie A appearances.

      And Ronaldo refused to rule out a return to Old Trafford during an interview in June, telling the press: “Whatever comes will be for the best.”
      But it now appears he’ll stay at Juventus for at least another year.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes is believed to be in Turin to discuss the player’s future with his existing employers.

      The Real legend reportedly wants to sign a one-year extension at Juventus to keep him at the club until 2023.
      Ronaldo is on course to win the top scorer award at Euro 2020 with five goals and one assist, although Harry Kane will win the award with a brace against Italy in the final.

      Man Utd and Chelsea eye Joachim Andersen transfer in case they miss out on top targets with Denmark star to cost £25m

      Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Leicester and Crystal Palace have all been monitoring his progress.
      SunSport understands Andersen, 25, is set to be back in the Premier League come the end of the window, it is just a matter of which club takes him.
      Lyon paid a club record of just over £25million for the defender in 2019 and would want their money back.
      Tottenham and United have been admirers since Andersen played for Sampdoria in Serie A – and the 6ft 4in ace even visited Spurs back then.
      Andersen was made Cottagers captain after just four games last season but could not prevent the West Londoners from going down.
      The Danish defender began his career at Dutch side Twente and made his international debut against Luxembourg in October 2019.

      The Red Devils have been linked with several centre-backs in recent weeks, including Sevilla’s Jules Kounde and Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane.
      Spurs are also rumoured to be keen on Kounde, although reports suggest the player is not interested in moving to North London – potentially paving the way for Andersen to join.
      Varane is United’s first-choice target – according to Sport Witness – but the Prem giants may move for Andersen if the France international proves to be too expensive.
      The 28-year-old has reportedly given United ‘his word’ he will join the club this summer after a decade at Real.
      Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already missed out on legendary Spanish defender Sergio Ramos, who’s joined Paris Saint-Germain.

      But instead of staying with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team squad this term, he instead looks set to be heading out of Old Trafford again.
      Chong spent the start of last season on loan in Germany at Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.
      That was before he headed to Belgium in January in a switch to Club Brugge.
      He has a number of options outside of these shores as well as a host of clubs interested in him domestically.
      However, he seems to be heading to Lee Bowyer’s Championship side Birmingham City on a season-long loan, according to several reports.
      Chong penned a new deal at United in June 2020 after they fought-off competition from several outfits courting his services.
      The attacker has made 16 appearances for the Red Devils but last featured in the second leg of the Europa League tie against LASK Linz in August 2020.
      He also played 15 times for Werder Bremen between August 2020 and January 2021.

      Chong only started four Bundesliga games though before going on to feature ten times for Club Brugge.
      Chong still has 12 months remaining on his contract at United.
      Although they do have the option of adding a further year for the former Feyenoord trainee.

      PSG ‘want to close transfer for Man Utd star Paul Pogba this summer’ but must first shift deadwood

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN reportedly want to ‘close out’ a deal to sign Manchester United star Paul Pogba.The French midfielder is yet to agree a new deal at Old Trafford – he has one more season to run.

      According to French newspaper L’Equipe, PSG ‘would like to close the purchase of Pogba in the next few weeks’.
      It is reportedly ‘the dream’ for president Nasser Al-Khelaifi who wants to ‘build the team around Pogba’.
      The French giants have already signed Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Gio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer.
      But the Ligue 1 runners-up will have to ship out some players first. United will still expect a big fee despite the 28-year-old having a year left on his contract.
      And Pogba, who was France’s best player at the Euros, is believed to take home around £290,000 a week at United.
      PSG are growing increasingly confident of sealing a move this summer.
      According to French publication RMC, the 28-year-old is ‘more than open’ to the idea of leaving United for the French capital.
      United could be forced to cash in on his signature this summer or risk losing him for nothing in 12 month’s time.

      That would be a last resort for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side who forked out £89million to bring him back to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016.
      Pogba was linked with a move away from United last summer but a £150million price-tag put off potential suitors.
      Now his value is likely to have dropped to only around a third of that.
      United are open to raising cash to bolster their own squad having already forked out £73m to sign Jadon Sancho.
      Pogba has also been linked with a return to Juventus, as well as joining Spanish giants Real Madrid.
