Bayern plot summer move for Aarons.

The German & European champions are eager to increase their options in defense by signing younger players, having already sealed the deal for 22-year-old Dayot Upamecano.

Tug of war for Kounde?

Real Madrid are in desperate search of defensive reinforcements with the futures of Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos up in the air.

Ramos is out of contract at the end of the season while Varane has entered the final 18 months of his contract, and Los Blancos risk losing both their defenders for free.

The Spanish champions, therefore, are looking at Sevilla’s Jules Kounde.

£60 million rated Kounde, however, is also reportedly a target for FC Barcelona and Manchester United.

Barcelona view the French center-back as a successor to Gerard Pique while Man United identify him as an ideal partner to Harry Maguire. [The Sun]

Pochettino wants Lloris at PSG.

Mauricio Pochettino is keen on a reunion with Hugo Lloris at Paris Saint-Germain.

The pair had a good relationship during their time together at Tottenham and the Argentine manager now wants to lure the French goalkeeper to Parc des Princes when the transfer market reopens in the summer.

Lloris has one more year remaining on his Spurs contract but is in talks with the club over a renewal. [Football Insider]
