BARCELONA are targeting Tottenham ace Sergio Reguilon – and are willing to swap Memphis Depay for him, reports suggest.

According to Sport, Barca are on the lookout for a full-back to provide cover and ultimately replace Jordi Alba, who is at the advanced age of 32.

Reguilon is among the top targets for the Blaugrana, who have been on the lookout for a left-back since last summer.

The Catalan giants were keen on Valencia ace Jose Gaya, but the defender looks set to renew his contract at the Mestalla.

Alejandro Grimaldo has also been touted as a potential option after some impressive performances for Benfica.

However, Reguilon is an attractive option and Barcelona could try to tempt Tottenham with a swap deal.

Spurs had been previously interested in Memphis as well as Clement Lenglet.

And the Spanish outfit could be open to exchanging the winger as well as Lenglet to get the Spain international.

That means a new and improved Memphis could return to the Premier League after a disappointing two-year stint at Manchester United.

Rumours suggesting Reguilon could move to the Nou Camp have caused some stir due to his Real Madrid past.

BERNARDO SILVA has revealed he could quit Manchester City next year as he targets an emotional return to Benfica.

The Portuguese playmaker, 27, had hoped to leave the Etihad last summer after slipping down Pep Guardiola's pecking order.

But City refused to let him leave with no club meeting their asking price.

Bernardo has since become an indispensable member of the City XI, with seven goals and two assists already this term.

But the midfield maestro has seemingly put a date on his Etihad exit.

Silva told Portuguese outlet Channel 11: "I miss Portugal a lot.

"If I could go back in a year or two, I would.

"Not only because I would like to play for Benfica again, but because I miss my family and living in Portugal very much."

It's not the first time Silva has mentioned his desire to return to Benfica.

Bernardo previously admitted: "Benfica is a big part of my life.

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has celebrated his brilliant Barcelona move by splashing out on a diamond necklace and ring in their colours.

The Gabon striker joined Barca in January on a free transfer from Arsenal after falling out of favour with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

And the 32-year-old forward decided to mark his move to Spain by splurging on a tennis chain complete with an 'A' pendant' and a ring to match.

But what makes the jewellery set unique is that the diamonds have been made in a mirage of blue and red, along with the Catalan colours that feature on Barca's home shirt.

The blinding diamonds have also got pink – which appears on Barca's away shirt – and green amongst them.

The former Gunners captain picked up the bedazzling set from A Jewellers in London's Hatton Garden, where he's shopped before.

Describing Aubameyang's chain on Instagram, jeweller Abtin Abassi said: "(It's a) One of one, Cuban baguette tennis rainbow chain. With the beautiful A rainbow sequence in baguettes with round diamonds all around."

Abassi appeared to be pleased with his work and stated that "We didn't come here to play around," while presenting the grinning Aubameyang with his flashy pieces.

Aubameyang – who was sporting a hat and T-shirt from deceased footballer Marvin Morgan's Fresh Ego Kid brand – then reiterated his jeweller's claims saying: "We don't play games."

WAYNE ROONEY has confirmed Derby hotshot Festy Ebosele will join Serie A side Udinese on a free transfer this summer.

The cash-strapped Championship side have seen their squad ransacked in recent months.

And a clearly frustrated Rooney has revealed the Rams are set to lose another top talent this summer.

Ebosele, 19, has played 31 times for Derby in all competitions this season, scoring twice.

Rooney has revealed the Irish right-back will join a 'team in Italy', with transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio confirming Udinese are the club in question.

Rooney said: "Festy Ebosele within the next week will sign for a team in Italy.

"I think there will be some announcement next week.

"It is purely out of my control. I would have liked him to stay.

"I spoke to him. I know he would have liked to have stayed.

"But where we are at, I can't offer him anything, the club can't offer him anything."

MO SALAH is open to moving to Barcelona with the Spanish giants eyeing a deal this summer, according to reports.

The Liverpool forward's future is uncertain with his current contract up in 2023.

Barcelona are trying to take advantage of that situation and view Salah as a cheaper alternative to another transfer target – Erling Haaland.

And the Blaugrana would be prepared to spend £58million to land the Egyptian, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

Liverpool would likely want more than that but with Salah's contract expiring in 2023 they may have to reduce their asking price.

The report outlines that the Reds could place an £83m valuation on Salah.

And Liverpool could even put Salah on the transfer list this summer if he fails to agree new terms by then.

There has been speculation surrounding Salah's new contract with the player determined to receive a salary that is fitting of his talents.

He spoke on the issue, saying: "I want to stay, but it’s not in my hands. It’s in their hands.

"They know what I want. I’m not asking for crazy stuff."

REAL MADRID are fearful of missing out on Borussia Dortmund hitman Erling Haaland, according to reports.

Los Blancos have been tracking the Norway international ever since he burst onto the scene in 2019.

But they’re concerned they won’t be able to acquire his services in the summer due to the seemingly imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe.

The Spaniards look set to land the France international on a free transfer once his contract with Paris Saint Germain expires in the summer.

And the prospect of having to compete with Mbappe and Karim Benzema for a place in the starting XI has reportedly made Haaland wary of moving to the Spanish capital.

That’s according to Goal, who claim the 21-year-old “wants to be the main man wherever he plays.”

It’s also said that Madrid chiefs believe they could be pipped to Haaland’s coveted signature by Manchester City.

The Premier League champions have reportedly offered the Norwegian a lucrative deal at the Etihad.

But Madrid is reportedly the preferred destination for Haaland, who is a target for a number of Europe's big boys.

Haaland has been nothing short of prolific since joining Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in December 2019.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Liverpool have received a huge boost in their pursuits of midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The Premier League duo are both weighing-up summer bids for the in-demand Monaco ace.

Spanish giants Real Madrid are said to be one of the teams also interested in acquiring the 22-year-old's services this summer.

But Los Blancos' pursuit of the Frenchman could come up short as he's reportedly not keen on a move to Spain.

According to Marca, Tchouameni would prefer a summer move to the Premier League.

United and Liverpool will likely be thrilled if Tchouameni's heart is indeed set on a move to the Prem.

The news of Tchouameni's eagerness to move to England would be music to the ears of Chelsea if the west Londoners weren't banned from signing new players.

But they could try to sign him in the summer if they manage to land new owners by then.

Tchouameni's former agent, however, is expecting Italian big boys Inter Milan to snap up his old client, saying: "Inter had shown a lot of interest like a few other European clubs, who also wanted to move for him.

“But Aurelien wanted to go step by step – first play for Bordeaux’s first team as he came from their academy.

NICK CANDY has pledged to keep spending if he wins the race to buy Chelsea.

The London property developer made his Blue Football Consortium’s £2bn-plus offer for Roman Abramovich’s club before Friday night's 9pm deadline.

Candy promised his “global consortium”, backed by cash from the USA, Europe and South Korean, was serious about delivering a “new model” of ownership.

He also vowed to put his fellow Blues fans “heart and centre” of the club, with a role in the board and decision-making process.

But for doubtful supporters questioning whether Candy would be willing to replicate the Abramovich approach which has brought 19 major trophies – plus two Community Shields – in 19 years, he told SunSport: “On the pitch and in the transfer market, it’s simple  – follow the model. 

“It's not failed us and it's done really well.

“The last 20 years have been brilliant on the pitch. We’ve played glorious football, won everything, and Roman has done an incredible job with his team. 

“If I got hold of the club I wouldn't change Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia.

“And if they want to stay I would love them to stay. Why change something that is brilliant?

“But I don't think we should end up like Manchester United where we have one rich family that owns Chelsea and there should be a new benchmark of owning football clubs.

WHEN your father is, quite literally, part of the fabric of Stamford Bridge, that is a real commitment.

And it is the debt he owes to his dad that is firing Nick Candy’s bid to take over Chelsea.

The Brit businessman and property developer has an emotional attachment to the club, and the memories to back it up.

He has the vision, too. 

And if Candy and his consortium do win the fight to win Roman Abramovich’s shares, they have vowed to ensure the WHOLE club is brought into the new world of football.

But it is that private bond with the club he was first taken to watch by his father at the age of four that makes this bid one with something deeper at its heart than just the desire to own a Prem giant.

Candy told SunSport: “I've been going since my dad first took me.

“He said I was four although I can remember going to games when I was seven or eight – and that it was quite scary then with fans standing up around me. 

“I watched it through the years from Ruud Gullit and Luca Vialli and others. 

“John Terry and Frank Lampard are friends of mine. I have photos of me and my dad down at the training ground with John and Frank.

MANCHESTER UNITED have reignited their interest in Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic, according to reports.

The centre-back, 24, has been on United's transfer radar since 2018, when Jose Mourinho was manager.

Click Here:

The former manager reportedly watched the centre-back in action and the club have been fans ever since.

A deal has never been worked out due to Fiorentina's desire to keep him.

But now the Red Devils could sign the Serbian for as little as £13million, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

United could face competition for Milenkovic from Italian champions Inter Milan.

Liverpool and Tottenham were also linked with the defender last summer after Milenkovic revealed he would not be signing a new contract.

Arsenal were also said to be interested before signing Ben White.

But Milenkovic is reportedly open to an Old Trafford switch with his current deal expiring in 2023.

That means Fiorentina could be willing to finally sell, knowing next summer is their last opportunity to fetch a decent fee for the star.
