      Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is said to be a target, while if Sheikh Jassim’s takeover bid is successful the Qataris will reportedly attempt to lure PSG superstar Neymar to Old Trafford.
      Ex-Chelsea striker Abraham, 25, is also believed to be on the Red Devils’ radar, who have sent scouts to watch him in action.
      Gazzetta.it claim the Premier League giants had representatives at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
      And they would have been impressed to see the English forward get himself on the scoresheet against AC Milan in injury time to rescue a draw for the home side.

      However, the report adds that Roma will only entertain bids starting at £70million – the price of the buy-back clause Chelsea inserted when they sold him in 2021 for a fee of £34million.
      Man Utd would face competition for Abraham’s signature, with PSG and Tottenham also believed to be interested in his services.
      Last season, the England striker was in stunning form for Jose Mourinho’s side scoring 17 Serie A goals.

      Although that hasn’t deterred any potential suitors who would be willing to pay a huge sum for the forward. More

      Brighton, Aston Villa and West Ham have also been watching him.
      Evans was an unused sub for Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Grimsby which sealed promotion to League One for the Hertfordshire outfit.
      Though he could well get some more game-time in the final-day trip to Barrow now Boro have gone up.
      Evans joined Stevenage in September on a two-year scholarship and has scored 15 goals for the club’s Under-18 side.

      The highly-rated striker also became the youngest ever player to score for non-league Potters Bar while on loan there in a match against Lewes in March.
      Chelsea have welcomed 17 new players since Todd Boehly took over as chairman last Spring.
      Boehly has been eager to inject more youth into the Chelsea squad and he has done so by signing several young players such as Carney Chukwuemeka, Noni Madueke, David Datro Fofana, Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk.

      SunSport revealed the Gunners are preparing a mass clearout at the Emirates this summer to fund their spending spree.
      Now the Daily Mail state the Swiss midfielder and Scottish left-back are among those who could leave with Arsenal ready to listen to offers.
      Xhaka, 30, joined the club in 2016 and has racked up 292 appearances – winning the fans back over again in recent years.
      This season he has proved a key man in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI on the left on the midfield three.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      But he may be let go to help raise funds and create space for Mason Mount and Youri Tielemans, who could be cheaper options than long-term targets Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
      Tierney, meanwhile, was excelling at left-back after a slow start to life at the Emirates due to injuries.
      But the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer has bumped the 25-year-old down to a back-up role.
      SunSport reported Newcastle are already planning a £30million swoop for Tierney.
      Most read in Football
      Like Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe is frustrated with a lack of minutes this season and Folarin Balogun made it clear he is reluctant to return from his Reims loan if he is not going to be a first-team regular.
      Ainsley Maitland-Niles will be released when his contract expires this summer but Reiss Nelson could still pen a new deal.
      Nicolas Pepe, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Nuno Tavares, Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari are all out on loan but do not figure in Arteta’s plans so will be sold to generate funds.

      Harry Maguire ‘fearful he may have to QUIT Man Utd to save Euro 2024 dream’ but has plenty of transfer offers

      The Red Devils skipper, 30, is struggling for game time under new boss Erik ten Hag.
      Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are the first-choice centre-backs while Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw have regularly been picked ahead of the ex-Leicester man, who came on for the final two minutes of the Carabao Cup final win.
      And in a further blow, Ten Hag labelled Bruno Fernandes “our captain” despite Maguire being the official skipper at Old Trafford.
      Now the Daily Mail report the £85million man is worried the lack of action could see him snubbed by Gareth Southgate at next year’s major tournament.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Maguire – who was named in the Euro 2020 team of the tournament – did go to the World Cup in Qatar and started all five Three Lions matches.
      And he played in both of England’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine last month.
      But Southgate has repeatedly reiterated he will pick players who are performing for their clubs – and the reality is Maguire has not been doing that.
      United are not actively trying to sell Maguire, who has two years left on his £190,000-a-week contract.

      But this summer could be an ideal time to cut their losses and let him leave, especially taking into account Premier League financial rules.
      As revealed by SunSport, Paris Saint-Germain are a shock interested party for a £50m switch.
      The French giants put a deal on the table in January but it could not be completed in time.
      Aston Villa, West Ham, Roma and Inter Milan have all been linked with Maguire in recent months, too.
      A return to the King Power on loan could even be on the cards, although the Foxes need to avoid relegation to have any chance of bringing him back.

      And ex-Tottenham and Real Madrid star Bale – who announced his retirement in January – congratulated the Welsh club on the result.
      It led McElhenney to tweet: “Hey @GarethBale11 let’s play golf, where I totally won’t spend 4 hours trying to convince you to un-retire for one last magical season.”
      To which Bale, 33, responded: “Depends what course.”
      The forward and golf-mad fan attended the Sport Industry Awards just days after his online interaction with McElhenney.

      “I’m sure we’ll have a chat and a joke, but I’m quite happy where I am.
