      It is believed Dortmund are open to offers for the midfielder as this summer will be their last opportunity to cash in big.

      He has mostly featured as a substitute for Xavi’s side this term but has contributed seven goals and three assists in all competitions.

      Fati could also be included since he is an academy graduate.
      United could look to pounce this summer with the 20-year-old reportedly offered to several European clubs by his agent Jorge Mendes.
      Fati was even urged to quit Barcelona by his father, who believes he is not getting enough game time to progress his career.

      “I want to be like Cristiano Ronaldo, because he’s my favourite when it comes to the big name players.
      “I’ve been watching his videos on YouTube after games. He posts his workout there so sometimes I try to watch those and motivate myself through that.” More

      Zemura has also been linked with moves to West Ham and Leeds. More

      Leicester currently sit 19th in the league, two points from safety and could freshen up their squad over the summer.
      Ex-Blues captain Terry could use his links to his former club and help them pinch a number of their players.
      Chelsea are preparing to sell several stars with owner Todd Boehly expected to continue his overhaul.
      The likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could see their days numbered after both have failed to nail down starting spots this season.

      Conor Gallagher could also be on the move after not winning over Chelsea fans this term.
      In Boehly’s huge cull, players such as Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could all depart, but they would be unlikely to join Leicester.
      Armando Broja is currently sidelinded with a long-term ACL injury and he is not predicted to get many minutes when he is back fit.
      Chelsea will surely spend big money on a striker this summer and Broja is the type of young and quick attacker Smith could want.

      Jamie Vardy’s best days are behind him aged 36, meanwhile, Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have not bagged enough goals this season with seven in the league between them.
      Another set to leave Stamford Bridge is Callum Hudson-Odoi.
      The winger has not impressed on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, netting once in 21 games.
      However, he has undoubted talent and could receive a new lease of life back in the Prem with Leicester.
      Smith could also want a new winger if Tete’s loan deal cannot be made permanent from Shakhtar Donestk.
      Leicester’s line-up for next season could look very different if they are relegated, with James Maddison and Harvey Barnes set to be big name exits.
      And Youri Tielemans is set to leave with his contract expiring within months.
