Kolo Muani had been a prime target for Juventus, for whom he played on loan from PSG over the second half of last season, scoring 10 goals.

€14m fee agreed for Brazilian’s departure to Turkey Donnarumma surplus to requirements at PSG Manchester City have agreed to sell Ederson to Fenerbahce for €14m (£12.1m) but the transfer is dependent on Gianluca Donnarumma arriving from Paris Saint-Germain for about €35m, or for another elite goalkeeper to be signed as the Brazilian’s replacement. Ederson has a year left on his £8m-a-season contract with City, and has become unsettled at the club, while Donnarumma has been deemed surplus to requirements by Luis Enrique at PSG, with the Spaniard signing Lucas Chevalier last month to be first-choice at the European champions.

Today’s fluff is singing when it’s fishing Today’s tittle-tattle starts with a Manchester club scrabbling around to resolve their goalkeeping situation. City’s Ederson continues to attract interest from Galatasaray, and a move could unlock the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad, Sky Sports reports. Donnarumma’s people, PSG’s people and City’s people have been in contact to thrash out possible details, and further agreeable lunches are anticipated.

The sporting director, Medhi Benatia, confirmed that punches were thrown, while the club president, Pablo Longoria, spoke of “incredible violence”. Between teammates and staff attempting to break up the fight and one of OM’s youngsters, Darryl Bakola, fainting in the dressing room, it was a scene befitting a Renaissance painting.

Latest news before the afternoon kick-offs Ten things to look out for | Mail Matchday live As for Tottenham, it’s looking fine and dandy on the pitch. The Super Cup performance against PSG was promising (mostly) and the dispatching of Burnley on the opening day was smooth enough for Thomas Frank’s first league match in charge. But off the pitch, well … Spurs continue to be the butt of jokes. Their pursuit of Eberechi Eze seemed nothing short of a farce. Without James Maddison for an extended period and having missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White as well, you fear they may be lacking in the creative department. Continue reading...
