Newcastle reportedly want Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate Rafael Benitez described as ‘top-class’
According to TuttoJuve, Newcastle United are interested in signing Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Newcastle could make an offer for the former Real Madrid striker this summer. The report has added that Juventus will offload the Argentine striker on a loan deal if a club are willing to pay his annual salary of €7.5 million (£6.75m) in full.

Blow for Arsenal, unhappy star pushing for summer move
Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira wants to leave the club and return to Italy this summer. According to the Uruguayan’s agent, the 24-year-old is ready to head back to Serie A after two years in English football. The combative midfielder has made 83 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, but he has failed to produce his best form on a consistent basis.

Report: Everton and Manchester United will need to shell out £44 million for this player
Everton and Manchester United will have to dig deep if they want to sign Napoli winger Hirving Lozano. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A club will hold out for a £44 million fee for the 24-year-old. Lozano joined Napoli from PS Eindhoven last summer, but he has failed to make much of an impact since moving Italy.

Both Everton and United have been linked with a move for Lozano, although it would be a big surprise if either were willing to shell out £44m to secure his services. Toffees’ boss Carlo Ancelotti is a known admir...
