Transfer news and rumours LIVE: PSG & Chelsea eye Man Utd goalkeeper Henderson

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is being lined up by both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, according to <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4052140/man-uniteds-henderson-eyed-by-psg-chelsea-sources" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the Premier League's top goalkeepers during his loan spell with Sheffield United and is considered by many to be England's best choice as No.1 going into the European Championships. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side hold Henderson in high regard although with David De Gea and Sergio Romero already part of their squad, they can't guarantee him a starting spot heading into the 2020-21 season. That could see the shot-stopper look to move on, with Chelsea and PSG assessing their goalkeeping situations ahead of the summer transfer window opening.

Paris Saint-Germain are set to offer Kylian Mbappe a new deal that would put him in roughly the same earning bracket as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2020/02/12/primera/1581534464_733959.html" target="_blank">AS</a> reports. PSG are said to be preparing themselves for Real Madrid swooping for the striker and are taking steps to ensure things will not be easy for the Spanish capital club. Indeed, the report claims that two renewal offers have already been turned down by the 21-year-old but PSG's third offer of €50 million (£42m/$54m) net per season will no doubt be considered more seriously.

League of Ireland side Cork City have reached an agreement with Preston North End involving the cancellation of the sell-on clauses included in the deals for Alan Browne and Sean Maguire, reports <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/national-league/cork-city-confirm-500k-deal-with-preston-over-sell-on-clauses-1.4173136" target="_blank">The Irish Times</a>. Republic of Ireland internationals Browne and Maguire both made the switch from Cork to the English outfit, and&nbsp;their former club have accepted a figure in the region of €500,000 in exchange for the cancellation of the clauses. The Irish side were reportedly under pressure to settle an outstanding debt prior to their league commencing on Friday, and so have been forced into the deal in order to raise the cash required.

According to the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-news-arsenal-17744024" target="_blank">Manchester Evening News</a>, Manchester City have now joined several European sides in the race to sign highly-rated RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano. The 21-year-old has been impressing for the German side this season, and his performances have not only caught the attention of City, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur also interested in his signature. But with the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona also keeping tabs on the centre-back, it certainly won't be easy to persuade him to come to the Premier League this summer.

AC Milan have set their sights on defenders Denzel Dumfries and Zeki Celik as they look to tighten up at the back ahead of next season, claims <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/ac-milan-have-doubts-about-calabria-and-conti-names-on-the-marke-45714" target="_blank">Calcio Mercato</a>. PSV right-back Dumfries and Lille’s Turkish international Celik are the club’s top targets this summer, while both Andrea Conti and Davide Calabria set to exit the side.

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, but face competition from Real Madrid for his signature. The Croatian has been key to his side's title charge this season, and the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7999963/Real-Madrid-enter-race-Liverpool-target-Inter-Milan-star-Marcelo-Brozovic.html" target="_blank">Mail Online</a> are reporting that Jurgen Klopp is keen to add the 27-year-old to his squad this summer.

Tuchel has also guided the French outfit through the Champions League group stages, with United monitoring him closely should Solskjaer be removed from the role in the coming months.

According to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/market-background-west-ham-made-offer-for-inter-midfielder-the-d-39059" target="_blank">Calcio Mercato</a>, West Ham failed in a bid to bring Inter midfielder Roberto Gagliardini to London Stadium in January. The Hammers reportedly offered the Italian side a loan deal for the player, with the option to buy at the end of the season.

Joleon Lescott believes that Jack Grealish and Raul Jimenez may be better served snubbing interest from&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;as they deserve to be playing in the&nbsp;Champions League.

Erling Haaland insists that claims&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;pulled out of their pursuit of him due to excessive wage demands are "comical", revealing that he had already settled on his move to&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund.
