Transfer rumours: Kane, Messi, Silva, Lukaku, Coutinho, Camavinga, Mbappe, Martial

Tottenham are prepared to consider selling England striker Harry Kane, 28, if Manchester City offer £120m plus another £20m in add-ons.

City are relying on Kane convincing Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to allow him to leave for the Premier League champions.

Lionel Messi and Paris St-Germain have agreed a two-year deal, with the 34-year-old Argentina forward expected to officially end his 21-year association with Barcelona with “dignity” on Sunday with a Nou Camp news conference.

If Messi does move to the French capital, he is set to receive a yearly pay packet of 40m euros (about £34m).

Messi’s potential move to Parc des Princes could boost Manchester United’s hopes of signing Rennes’ 18-year-old French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who has been strongly linked with a move to PSG.

Sergio Aguero, 33, will remain at Barcelona, despite reports he was looking to leave after news that his good friend and fellow Argentine forward Messi was not staying at the club.

Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City’s 26-year-old Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva, who has previously told the Premier League champions he wants to leave the club. The Gunners see Silva as an alternative to Leicester City and England midfielder James Maddison, 24.

Silva is preparing for talks with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and will be pushing to get a move to Barcelona.

City are willing to offer Silva in any deal for Harry Kane but are prepared to miss out on the England captain altogether rather than meet Tottenham’s asking price of £150m.

Italian champions Inter Milan are planning for the departure of Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea and want two additions up front, with Chelsea’s England striker Tammy Abraham, 23, Atalanta’s Colombia forward Duvan Zapata, 30, and Roma’s 35-year-old Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko all targets.

Arsenal and West Ham are also interested in Abraham but Atalanta will bid for the Chelsea striker if Inter Milan ask for Zapata as Lukaku’s replacement.

Lukaku will have a medical in Belgium on Sunday before completing his move and is set to arrive in London on Monday.

Arsenal have made a move for Kieran Trippier after Manchester United were unable to agree a fee with Atletico Madrid for the England right-back, 30.

Inter Milan have targeted Manchester United striker Anthony Martial to replace Lukaku, with the Italian champions wanting to take the France forward, 25, on loan next season, while Everton have also been linked with a loan move.
