Another Brazilian with a bad attitude off to Paris

Gundogan giving City a headache
Ilkay Gundogan has put contract renewal talks with Manchester City on hold, Goal understands. Sources close to the 28-year-old say he is unconvinced that he will be a regular starter at City beyond the summer and is therefore reluctant to commit the final years of his top-level career to the club. As it stands he will not be signing a new deal and if that stance does not change it may force City into selling him this summer.

The Madrid rebuild
AS: Even if Varane asks to leave and Real Madrid facilitate his exit, possibly to Man United, it will require a world record fee for a defender to get Pérez to as much as pick up his phone, and probably a bid in excess of 100 million euros for a presidential eyebrow to be raised.
