Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confident Paul Pogba will be at Manchester United next season

Manchester United will battle Bayern Munich to sign Brazil international Everton Soares.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to strengthen his forward options and the Gremio forward has emerged as a target following an impressive run of form at the Copa America.

German site TZ believe Bayern have joined the race for the 23-year-old.

The Brazilian has struck twice already for the Selecao, who will meet Peru in the Copa America final, and has three years remaining on his contract.

The German giants are in the market for a new winger, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Leroy Sane other options.

Inter are pushing ahead with plans to sign Romelu Lukaku, who is Antonio Conte's first choice to replace Mauro Icardi, with the Italian ready to ditch the Argentine forward.

Paul Pogba's exit could be facilitated by Juventus offering one of three players in return to smooth over negotiations.

The Old Lady will offer Alex Sandro, Blaise Matuidi or Paulo Dybala as a make weight for the French midfielder, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The same newspaper reports that Matteo Darmian has been offered to Juventus, Roma and Inter Milan, with United strengthening in the full-back department after Aaron Wan-Bissaka's arrival for £50m.

One player who is off United's wish list is Toby Alderweireld, despite an enticing £25m release clause.

The Gremio forward is nicknamed 'Cebolinha' 

The Manchester Evening News claims interest in the Belgian was ended after Jose Mourinho's departure.

Another new arrival could be Wissam Ben Yedder who appears to be Solskjaer's preferred striker signing.

The Sevilla striker has a £35m release clause in his contract with the Express reporting that he has agreed personal terms on a switch.

Newcastle's Sean Longstaff could be another incoming with Solskjaer particularly keen on the young midfielder, with the Magpies selling Ayoze Perez to Leicester for £30m.

Lukaku is heading towards the exit

The Daily Star report a deal could be struck as soon as this week with the Magpies valuing the youngster at around £25m.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Dean Henderson could join Marcus Rashford in putting speculation over his own future to bed with a new deal too, before heading back out on loan.

Paul Pogba has told former Juventus teammates he would like to re-sign for the Turin club during the birthday party of Andrea Barzagli, according to a report in Italy.

In a more far-fetched piece of news from Italy and Tuttosport, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has given his representatives the green light to move to Old Trafford should they come chasing him in the event of Lukaku’s departure, though exactly how Arsenal would feel about such an approach is less clear.
