Bayern also have their sights set on English forward Harry Kane who is reported by Goal to be keen on joining the German Champions.

Liverpool’s likely replacements for Fabinho

Liverpool who appears set to lose the service of the Brazilian are on the market for a replacement to fill the void to be created by the imminent departure of the midfielder.

The Reds are also considering making an approach to Crystal Palace for Cheick Doucoure. The Seagulls value their midfielder at £70m and would be unwilling to significantly reduce that fee.
