Whites reportedly eyeing deal for City’s Zinchenko

A look at the stories involving the area’s clubs in Friday’s newspapers…

Fulham want Manchester City’s Ukraine international Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Wolves have reportedly been in talks with City over a potential £16m deal to sign the 21-year-old, who has been playing primarily as a wing-back.

The Telegraph say Fulham are considering making a higher offer for Zinchenko and that Whites boss Slavisa Jokanovic is likely to offer him the chance to play in his preferred midfield role.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue to be linked with Eden Hazard.

The Daily Mail say Real are preparing a £150m bid for the Chelsea star, who has two years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Real are said to be targeting Hazard following their sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.

The Spanish club are confident of prising Hazard away from Chelsea, the Mail say.

The Mail also reports that Barcelona have offered Chelsea £60m for Willian.

Barca are reported to have offered £55m plus £5m in add-ons for the Brazilian.

The Daily Mirror say Antonio Conte, whose sacking is expected to be confirmed later today, turned down an approach from Real Madrid this summer in order to hold out for a £9m pay-off from Chelsea.

The Telegraph reports that Conte is “disgusted” by the manner in which his departure has been handled by the club.

And in Italy, Chelsea are still being linked with AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci.

Corriere dello Sport claim Chelsea are battling with Paris St-Germain to sign the Italy international, who has been linked with a move to the Bridge during successive transfer windows.
