Aston Villa interested in Mainz defender St. Juste

Mainz centre-back Jeremiah St. Juste is the subject of interest from Aston Villa - according to Jornal de Noticias.

West Ham and Leicester have also been linked with the 25-year-old along with Sporting CP, who are thought to be the frontrunners for his signature at the moment.

Steven Gerrard is eager to strengthen his defence by adding St. Juste to his ranks, though, and Villa may look to steal ahead of Sporting in the coming weeks.

Mourinho wants Wan-Bissaka at Roma

Roma boss Jose Mourinho wants to bring in Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka - according to The Sun.

The Giallorossi's current squad already contains former United star Chris Smalling, while ex-Chelsea man Tammy Abraham leads the line upfront.

Mourinho is eager to add another Englishman to his ranks this summer and Wan-Bissaka may be available after a frustrating 2021-22 season at Old Trafford.

Napoli target Brighton loanee Ostigard

Napoli have identified Brighton loanee Leo Skiri Ostigard as a transfer target - according to Calciomercato.

The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Genoa, and has made 11 Serie A appearances for the club since January.

Ostigard has impressed enough to alert Napoli, who could offer him the chance to stay in Italy this summer as they seek a replacement for Axel Tuanzebe following his disappointing loan from Manchester United.

Roma set Zaniolo asking price

Roma have set their asking price for Italian midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo - according to Calciomercato.

Milan and Juventus have both been linked with the 22-year-old, who is also attracting interest from the Premier League.

Zaniolo is still under contract at Stadio Olimpico until 2024 and Roma won't let him go for less than €50 million (£43m/$53m).

Midfielder could join Haaland in coming to the club

Manchester City want to complete deals for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland and Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer - according to The Sun.

The Premier League champions are confident of winning the race for Haaland ahead of Real Madrid with the striker happy to agree to personal terms on a move to the Etihad Stadium.

De Jong, meanwhile, has long been admired by City boss Pep Guardiola, and Barca may be tempted to sell if the Manchester outfit launch a bid as they continue to try and cut costs.

Mbappe's mother rubbishes PSG extension reports

Kylian Mbappe's mother Fayza Lamary has labelled reports that the Paris Saint-Germain star has agreed to a two-year contract extension "completely false".

As it stands, Mbappe is set to become a free agent when his current deal at Parc des Princes expires on June 30, and he has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid.

GOAL has confirmed that PSG have stepped up talks over a renewal, but no agreement has been reached as of yet, which his mother has now come out to reiterate publically.
