      But Laporte is weighing up whether he fancies the Middle East despite all the riches on offer.
      He is also waiting to see if Madrid show any interest after losing their  Brazil star Eder Militao to a torn ACL.
      Laporte lost his place in Pep Guardiola’s team following the arrival of Swiss international Manuel Akanji last August.
      The Spain international was limited to just 12 Premier League appearances.

      Now City have paid £77million to sign Croatia star Josko Gvardiol, pushing Laporte even further down the pecking order.
      Joining Al-Nassr would see Laporte link up with Cristiano Ronaldo and former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane.
      While the Saudi giants are also reported to be interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
      The Brazilian is understood to be tempted by the move with Al-Nassr likely to offer Alisson huge wages.

      Laporte would be the third member of the Treble winning squad to leave this summer following the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez. 
      He has two years remaining on his contract so this is perhaps the last summer City will be able to cash in on the defender for a big sum.
      He was also spotted taking photos of the Etihad after City’s last home game at the end of last season, hinting he could be on the way out of the club.

      Liverpool set to HIJACK Man Utd transfer for Sofyan Amrabat with deal ‘to be finalised in next few days’

      by

      LIVERPOOL are looking to hijack Manchester United’s move for Sofyan Amrabat, Dutch reports say. Jurgen Klopp has been in search of a midfielder all summer having seen Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and James Milner leave.

      But he has so far been left empty handed after Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia both snubbed Anfield for Chelsea.
      Now, according to AD in the Netherlands, Liverpool are close to signing Amrabat.
      It is claimed the Premier League club are “on track to finalise the deal in the coming days.”
      That would come as a blow to Manchester United, who have long been linked with the Moroccan international.

      Klopp had announced that a deal with Brighton to sign Caicedo was done after Brighton accepted a £111million bid.
      But the player had his heart set on Chelsea, who later came in with a Premier League record offer of £115m.
      Lightening then struck twice after Liverpool came to terms with Southampton over the signing of Lavia.
      But again, the man himself wanted Chelsea and is now close to a move after Southampton accepted a deal worth £58m.

      Liverpool were forced to play forward Cody Gakpo in midfield during their 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Sunday.
      Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure has since emerged as an alternative signing for Klopp before the window shuts.
      But Real Madrid have no intention of selling Liverpool’s top target Aurelien Tchouameni.

      And the Prem trio will be among clubs scrapping for the Spain international’s signature this summer.
      Fati, 20, burst onto the scene as a teenager three years ago, having been at Barcelona since he was nine.
      He is the youngest goal scorer in Champions League history, at the age of 17 years and 40 days.
      And he even inherited Lionel Messi’s iconic No 10 shirt with the Argentina legend left the club in 2021.

      But Fati has slipped down the pecking order under boss Xavi.
      And Spanish publication AS report that the Guinea Bissau-born star now wants out.
      That represents a change of heart for Fati, who had been determined to earn his boss’ trust.
      But he was left on the bench for the disappointing 0-0 La Liga opener against Getafe.

      And, to rub salt in the wound, he saw unknown kids Abde Ezzalzouli and Lamine Yamal come on ahead of him as Barca desperately hunted a winner.
      Fati was finally called on in the 79th minute, but failed to make an impact.
      And that appears to have been the final straw for Fati, as he looks to resurrect his career elsewhere.
      Atletico Madrid are reportedly also keen but have yet to contact Barcelona, meaning Prem sides can get a head start. More

      He confirmed in a tweet: “Newcastle are keen on signing Lewis Hall from Chelsea as new fullback — as Crystal Palace deal is in stand-by.
      “Hall signed new six year deal at Chelsea but could leave on loan. Not easy to find way due to FFP but Newcastle interest is genuine.”
      The 18-year-old has signed a new six-year deal at Chelsea with the option for a further year, after a remarkable first 12 senior appearances at Stamford Bridge.
      Hall was then set to make a move to Selhurst Park to make his debut for the Eagles on Saturday away at Sheffield United.

      Howe said: “It means we can’t just go out and slap money on the table and buy a player.
      “We don’t have the resources to do that at the moment with FFP restrictions.

      “It’s about trying to find a different way rather than paying money in the here and now.”
      The Magpies must avoid big spending this summer and Hall is a viable option as the club are on the hunt for a centre-back.
      Hall has been at Chelsea since he was eight years old and made his debut for the club at just 17 under former manager Thomas Tuchel in early 2022.
      But even though Hall may have been born in Slough, his brother Conor Hall has expressed the family’s love for Newcastle.
      He said: “My gran is a Sunderland supporter, and my grandfather is a Newcastle supporter.
      “So when my dad was born, he had the choice and he picked Newcastle.
      “It’s kind of followed down to me and my little brother Lewis.”
      This could mean Hall’s emotional link to Newcastle could lead the youngster to make his way to St James’ Park. More

      Monaco had been keen on the youngster after he scored 21 Ligue 1 goals for Stade Reims while on loan last season.
      Balogun’s performances also earned him a first call-up from the USA after switching his international allegiance from England.
      Balogun’s remarkable season made him a key target for the French club, despite him having made just two league appearances for Arsenal and spending an underwhelming time on loan to Middlesbrough last year.
      The striker has announced he is open to leaving the Emirates this summer as he feels he has proved he can play at the top level.
