Could Falcao swap United red for Liverpool red this summer?
The nations most popular newspaper is saying Radamel Falcao is attracting interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool. I'm sceptical to say the least.
Reports in the German press suggest that Manchester United are set to move for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
The Red Devils have long been linked with the Germany international, with Louis van Gaal a known admirer of the player.
But the Old Trafford outfit have been constantly knocked back by BVB with Hummels staying loyal to the club.
However rumours persist that the 26-year-old is keen to test himself in the Premier League and is open to a summer switch to the north west of England.
Dortmund will not be in next season's Champions League after a disastrous season that has seen them flirting with relegation and, with United now looking odds-on for a top-four finish, they might be able to tempt him to sign.
A fee of around 36m euros has been suggested and that might be the only stumbling block to the move but United do need an experienced stopper to shore up the defence.
Elsewhere Tottenham are said to be considering a double raid on Spanish giants Valencia in the summer for Shkodran Mustafi and Sofiane Feghouli.
Mustafi is a utility defender who won the World Cup with Germany last summer and is reportedly valued at 9m, while Algeria international Feghouli plays on the wing and could be purchased for around 7m.
It has been claimed that Spurs sent scouts to watch the duo as Los Che beat Elche 4-0 last weekend.
Champions League-chasing Valencia are reluctant to let the players leave but will need funds of their own to strengthen should they qualify for Europe's elite club competition.
The Sun are suggesting that Liverpool and Chelsea are both keen on Manchester United's loan flop Radamel Falcao and may make a move in the summer.
The Colombia international hit-man has made little impact at Old Trafford since making his loan move from Monaco last summer and it seems highly unlikely that the Premier League giants will purchase him outright.
But Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers have clearly seen something they like and are willing to take a punt on the former Atletico Madrid forward.
Liverpool look like moving controversial flop Mario Balotelli on this summer and that would free up a spot for Falcao.
According to German publication Bild, Borussia Dortmund have now joined Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City in keeping close tabs on Liverpool's Raheem Sterling.
The Reds winger has yet to agree a new deal at Anfield and, according to former Liverpool definer Jamie Carragher, is risking the wrath of the fans by delaying.
But it may well be that he has his eyes elsewhere with the clubs that are reportedly interested.
A failure for Liverpool to reach the Champions League might be the deciding factor, with European football guaranteed at the other clubs said to be keen.
However, despite the delay over a new deal, Rodgers has always maintained that he is confident the situation will be resolved favourably and Sterling will remain on Merseyside.
