Lyon decision

Lyon will listen to offers for striker Moussa Dembele in the upcoming transfer window.

However, they will not entertain the possibility of losing £65million-rated Houssem Aouar, according to French newspaper L’Equipe.

Dembele, who is being chased by Chelsea and Manchester United, has registered 42 goals and provided 13 assists in 88 appearances for Lyon since his arrival from Celtic.

It’s thought the sought-after talent would like a return to England and the Ligue 1 side are ready to cash in.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in Aouar with Jurgen Klopp’s side even reported to have initiated talks to discuss his availability.

But Lyon have made it clear that they will not sell the 21-year-old this summer.

Liverpool news LIVE: Club prepare ‘mega offer’ for first-team player

Wanted: Cesar Gelabert

Arsenal are leading Premier League rivals Manchester United in the battle to sign Real Madrid teenager Cesar Gelabert.

That’s according to Spanish newspaper AS, who claim Mikel Arteta’s side are ‘well placed’ to secure the attacking midfielder’s services in the upcoming transfer window.

Gelabert’s current deal is set to expire in June 2021 and talks have struck an impasse with the player’s chances of breaking into Zinedine Zidane’s plans thought to be slim.

Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Lyon are all ‘keeping tabs’ on the 19-year-old’s situation – but AS believe it could be a straight shootout between Arsenal and Barcelona.

The Gunners have been extensively scouting Gelabert for a number of months, while Barcelona believe the right offer could tempt their fiercest rivals to do business.

Man Utd sign Radek Vitek

Manchester United have completed the signing of teenage goalkeeper Radek Vitek.

The Red Devils agreed a deal with Czech Republic side Sigma Olomouc for the 16-year-old prodigy in January – but had to wait to officially complete the transfer.

The towering 6ft 5in goalkeeper will now join United on scholarship terms in July.

“It’s a surreal feeling, a move to Manchester United is the dream of a lot of guys who start playing football,” he told Sigma Olomouc’s official website. “I’m really looking forward to it. I admit I didn’t even believe it when I found out about the club’s interest, but now it’s definitely a reality.”

The Czech club’s sporting director, Ladislav Minar added: “If Radek were to play for the Manchester team in the future or move to another club, the financial satisfaction would be of interest to Sigma.”
