Euro Papers: Messi to China?

    Could Lionel Messi be on the move to China?
The January transfer window may only just have
closed but Europe's biggest clubs are already
plotting their summer moves with there being a
World Cup to negotiate around.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured
the European media to round-up the latest
transfer news .
Spain
Chinese Super League club Hebei China Fortune
are preparing another bid for Barcelona forward
Lionel Messi after their first move was rejected.
The Argentine legend has just signed a new long-
term deal at the Nou Camp with a €700m
(£617.8m) release clause. New rules in Chinese
football mean any deal would cost Hebei a
staggering €1.4billion (£1.2billion). (Mundo

Real Madrid playmaker Isco was the man of the
moment earlier on in the season but Zinedine
Zidane is prepared to sell him during the summer
window, and Premier League clubs are on high
alert. He remains to be a Liverpool transfer
target, while Arsenal and Manchester City have
been long-term admirers. However, Juventus and
Bayern Munich are believed to be rivals for his
signature. (AS)
Zinedine Zidane is ready to sell Isco, according
to reports
Robert Lewandowski wants to move to Real
Madrid. The Bayern Munich striker has been
tentatively linked with Real over recent years but
he and his agent, Cezary Kucharski, believe now
it's now or never as he approaches his 30th
birthday. Bayern Munich have said they will not
keep anybody at the club against their wishes.
Zidane may see him as the man to spearhead
his new-look attack. (Marca)
Germany
Bayern Munich are in the market for wingers.
Both Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are in the
twilight of their careers and, though they have
Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman waiting in the
wings, the bosses in Bavaria believe they need
more. Christian Pulisic, a Manchester United
transfer target , and Leon Bailey, subject to
Chelsea transfer rumours during winter, are two
players who interest the Bundesliga leaders.

New Watford coach Javi Gracia made an attempt
to reunite with Ignacio Camacho during the
January transfer window. The defensive
midfielder is now with Wolfsburg but spent seven
years at Malaga prior to the move to Germany.
Gracia was his manager for two seasons at La
Rosaleda and he wanted to bring him to Vicarage
Road to bolster his midfielder options but
Wolfsburg were not open to selling. ( Kicker )
Javi Gracia attempted to bring Ignacio Camacho
to Watford, the German media says.
Italy
Juventus' Paulo Dybala may be on the move this
summer. The Argentine playmaker has not
renewed the lease on his luxury house in Turin
which comes to an end in July. He is believed to
be a Barcelona transfer target but after the
arrival of Philippe Coutinho and the fact they
continue to court Antoine Griezmann, it now
looks unlikely.    There is a belief La Liga rivals
Real Madrid could make a move to keep pace
with Barcelona. (Calciomercato)
Roma are looking to bring Mateo Kovacic, a one-
time Tottenham Hotspur transfer target, back to
Serie A. The former Inter Milan midfielder is
having a tough time breaking into the Real
Madrid starting XI on a regular basis and may
move in order to increase his chances of first-
team football. Monchi is hopeful he will swap
Madrid for Rome.

to Serie A?
Amin Younes could be in hot water if he reneges
on the deal he signed with Napoli. The German-
born midfielder caught the eye while playing for
Ajax and agreed to join the Serie A leaders in the
summer. The deal is official and the contract is
signed. However, in a recent interview the player
implied his future is undecided, forcing Napoli to
release a statement: "If Amin Younes takes
different paths he will assume all the
responsibilities in the economic and disciplinary
field."
France
Zidane could soon replace Didier Deschamps as
the manager of the France national team.
Florentino Perez has reportedly settled on
Joachim Low to replace Zidane in Madrid,
freeing him up to replace Deschamps who,
despite having an impressive pool of players to
choose from, has failed to capture the
imagination of the country with his choice of
football.
Paris Saint-Germain are battling it out with Real
Madrid for the signature of Thibaut Courtois. The
Chelsea goalkeeper is stalling on a new deal with
the Premier League champions and is believed
to want to return to Spain to be closer to his
family. However, PSG believe they can put
together a package that will convince him that
Paris is the play for him to continue his careers.
