Transfer Talk: Inter Milan to make a move for Luka Modric

It is being widely reported that Everton are planning on making a move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.

Managers are quickening up their pace before the transfer window shuts down and the new season begins. Endless speculation regarding Real Madrid's hope of raiding Chelsea continues, although no such deal has taken place yet and we are still stuck with only two headline transfers this season – Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus and Alisson to Liverpool.

In this article, we at Khel Now will take you through the completed deals and rumours of the day:

Paul Pogba looking for an exit out of Old Trafford

Barcelona have already held a meeting with Paul Pogba in Los Angeles a few days ago, reports Tuttosport.

The 2018 World Cup winner met fellow Frenchman Eric Abidal (Barca’s technical secretary) a few days ago to discuss a possible move. The Manchester United man is reportedly unsettled at Old Trafford, amid talk of a possible rift with manager Jose Mourinho. The 25-year-old is under contract with the Premier League side until 2021.

Abidal was appointed by the La Liga outfit to make improvements in the French transfer market.

Luka Modric to Inter Milan?

Inter Milan re targeting a move for Real Madrid and Croatia star Luka Modric this summer, reports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Luciano Spalletti’s side have already made contact with the player’s agent. It is being alleged that Inter and Croatian players Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic have already discussed such a possibility with their national skipper during the World Cup. Due to this, the Serie A side are currently holding back from making any advances for Arturo Vidal.

Zinedine Zidane to replace Jose Mourinho?

Manchester United are planning to make a move for Zinedine Zidane as a replacement for Jose Mourinho, reports the Sun.

The Portuguese is currently under fire and has a record of struggling in his third season in-charge at previous clubs.

The Frenchman is a free agent after he quit Real Madrid at the end of last season, after winning three straight Champions League crowns with Los Blancos.

Neymar's departure from PSG 'impossible'

Roma’s new acquisition Javier Pastore has stated that Neymar won’t be leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The Argentine teamed up with the Brazilian during his promising but injury-hit stint in France.

Neymar was rumoured to be targeted by Real Madrid, although the Santiago Bernabeu outfit denied it. With the next season coming soon, Pastore thinks that Neymar’s departure is 'impossible.'
