PSG target Richarlison if Mbappe joins Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain will try to sign Richarlison from Everton to replace Kylian Mbappe should he join Real Madrid, Sky Sports reports.

The Spanish giants are pushing to sign the France international before the close of the transfer window and have reportedly made an improved bid for him.

Tottenham ready to sign Barca wonderkid Ilaix

Tottenham are leading the chase for one of Barcelona's best prospects, wonderkid Ilaix Moriba, as the Catalan club could be forced to sell him in the next week, according to Tuttomercato.

Ilaix, an 18-year-old midfielder, has seen his contract renewal talks break down this summer. Barcelona reportedly won't let him play for them until he agrees to a fresh deal, and he could instead choose to move elsewhere.

Spurs have historically not been able to attain the very best youngsters in the world once they've already begun to break out, with London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal often beating them to the punch, so this would be seen as a major accomplishment for the club if a deal gets done.
