Arsenal are rumoured to be eyeing Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz as a replacement for out-of-favour star Mesut Ozil, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/arsenal-dal-leverkusen-il-sostituto-di-ozil-27160">Calciomercato.</a> The Gunners have reportedly been watching the 19-year-old attacking midfielder - who stands at 6'2" - who&nbsp;has scored 11 goals and registered six assists in 28 appearances across all competitions this season. The young German has earned comparisons to Ozil himself, along with the likes of Toni Kroos and Michael Ballack, as he is also able to operate in a deeper role or even as a wide playmaker, such is his versatility.&nbsp;

Manchester United are lining up an ambitious bid for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8438783/man-utd-70m-dortmund-jadon-sancho-city-transfer/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>&nbsp;claims the Premier League side will try to lure the 18-year-old sensation back to England and offer the German side £70 million ($90m), 15 per cent of which would go to his former team Manchester City. The three-time England international joined Dortmund in 2017 and has scored nine times and set up a further 17 in 41 appearances.

Arsenal’s plot to offload Mesut Ozil has been held up because the attacking midfielder does not want to leave on loan, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6710289/Mesut-Ozil-ready-frustrate-Arsenal-refusing-leave-loan.html" target="_blank">the Daily Mail</a> says. Ozil’s days with the Gunners appear to be numbered after being left out of the squad for Thursday’s defeat at BATE Borisov in the Europa League. Arsenal are already looking to get rid of the Germany international but his £350,000-per-week wages are making it difficult to find a new club. The north London outfit are prepared to send him on loan and pay a smaller portion of his wages, but the 30-year-old does not want a temporary switch, having already knocked back one to Paris Saint-Germain in January.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has slapped a £131m (€150m/$169.45m) price tag on Kalidou Koulibaly in an attempt to ward off interest, and will reportedly offer the defender a new deal worth £5.7m (€6.5m/$7.3m) a year, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/koulibaly-de-laurentiis-ha-avvisato-sul-prezzo-la-sua-guerra-and-29144">Calciomercato.</a> Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are just a handful of the clubs to have been credited with an interest in the Senegalese centre-back, but Napoli are determined to take the same stance as they did with Brazilian midfielder Allan. Since losing Jorginho to Chelsea, the Serie A side have rebuffed any and all enquiries over their star players, scaring PSG off Allan with a massive price tag as they seek to build a side to challenge Juventus domestically on a consistent basis.&nbsp;

Everton's Idrissa Gueye hopes that Paris Saint-Germain make another approach for him this summer after a winter move to the reigning Ligue 1 champions failed to materialise, according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Idrissa-gueye-everton-j-etais-pret-pour-le-psg/989250">L'Equipe.</a> The&nbsp;defensive midfielder was the subject of interest from PSG, who were in desperate need of central midfield players, before their eventual capture of Leandro Paredes from Zenit St. Petersburg. However, the Senegalese remains hopeful that the Parisian club retain an interest in his services, and that he might be able to join them sooner rather than later.

AC Milan are reportedly considering the future of midfielder Lucas Biglia, whose contract expires in the summer of 2020, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-the-two-options-ac-milan-have-for-the-future-of-lucas--15630">Calciomercato.</a> The 33-year-old is thought to be keen to extend his terms and pen a new contract, but if negotiations break down over the deal then the club will look to offload him at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free. However, Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso rates the veteran highly and, with both parties keen to continue their existing relationship, a deal is likely to be struck before the end of the current campaign.
