Pep wants Toni Kroos and Luis Suarez so Man City can keep pace with United
TOP STORY: Suarez, Kroos in City's sights
It's been a tough week for Manchester City as they watched rivals Man United splash out for Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan and snap upprized free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Pep Guardiola did manage to sign Nolito from Celta Vigo, though there was considerably less fanfare, so it is unsurprising that the Mirror reports City are targeting two galacticos of their own.
City are mulling over Toni Kroos' £63 million release clause, while Luis Suarez has always been linked with Guardiola as his brother, Pere, is the Uruguayan's agent.
City would be forced to fork out £85m for the former Liverpool striker and whether he would be prepared to break Reds fans' hearts by returning to the Premier League with another club remains unclear.
Real Madrid turn to Lloris after De Gea snub
It seems that Real Madrid don't know a good thing when it hits them in the face and quite why they are so determined to ditch Keylor Navas for a second straight summer is a mystery.
The Costa Rican was superb for Los Merengues and even though Real Madrid appear unable to bring David De Gea back to Madrid from Manchester United after Jose Mourinho's arrival, Zinedine Zidane seemingly wants a new pair of hands between the sticks.
The Mirror suggests Spurs' Hugo Lloris is now a target and the European champions will pay up to £35m to land the France international.
United to continue insane summer spree
Jose Mourinho is getting exactly what he desires this summer and the Red Devils appear determined to continue their relentless work to reshape the Portuguese manager's squad ahead of the new season by attempting to lurePaul Pogba back to Manchester.
United have told Juventus they will pay £100m to land their former youth team product, according to the Mail, three years after the 23-year-old walked out of Old Trafford for nothing.
The Old Lady will be determined to hold on to the French international, but a nine-figure fee and United readying a wage packet that could reach £250,000-per-week might prove too much to turn down for all concerned.
West Ham target Germany striker
West Ham have been on a tour of Europe this summer in a bid to land themselves one of the game's best strikers, but no matter who they offered up to £25m for, a deal could not be struck.
Now it seems they have found their man, with Mario Gomez available available for £4m from Fiorentina according to the Express.
The 33-year-old has shone for Die Mannschaft this summer and supplied a super pass in the build-up to Mesut Ozil's opener against Italy.
Now the Hammers want to bring the former Bayern marksman to the Premier League and are keen to beat off competition from Besiktas, where the German rekindled his form last season on loan.
