Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Barca willing to offer Depay in Lewandowski deal

Manchester City are chasing Inter defender Alessandro Baston, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter have already turned down a €60m offer but that bid could rise in the coming weeks.

The club is expected to be forced to sell one big player ahead of next season, and that could be Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar or, most likely, Bastoni, who will likely command the highest fee.

Bayern Munich should pursue Harry Kane if Robert Lewandowski is to leave the club this summer, says former Bayern defender Jerome Boateng.

Lewandowski says he will not renew in Munich, and Boateng says Kane would be the perfect replacement should the club choose to cash in.
