Arsenal have offered a five-year contract to Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas
Arsenal have offered a five-year contract to Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, according to German newspaper Bild.

Casillas, 33, is looking to leave Real after falling behind Diego Lopez in the goalkeeping pecking order and following the club's signing of Keylor Navas.

Arsenal have only just signed a goalkeeper themselves in David Ospina.

But that has not stopped Bild linking them with a move for Spain international Casillas, who they say will earn €126,000-a-week at the Emirates.

Fellaini's nightmare year at Manchester United set to end with move to Napoli
Marouane Fellaini's nightmare year at Manchester United is set to end with a move to Napoli.

Fellaini, who cost £27.5million 11 months ago, is poised for a switch to the Serie A side, with United boss Louis van Gaal desperate to offload him.

Van Gaal is poised for a major clear-out of the dead wood he inherited at the Old Trafford giants , with Nani, Shinji Kagawa and Anderson also primed to pass through the exit door this summer.

Napoli want the midfielder, who endured a disastrous 2013-14 season after then-United boss David Moyes signed him from former employers Everton on transfer deadline day last summer.

Too many No 10s at Man U, Kagawa's future appears to be in the balance
Shinji Kagawa is on his way out and his destination appears to be his own former club Borussia Dortmund.

Van Gaal has said he will give players at least four weeks to demonstrate what they can do.

But the future of 25-year-old Kagawa also appears to be in the balance, with the club looking to reduce the size of their squad.

The Dutchman is also of the view that there is an “imbalance” in it, with too many No 10s – the Japanese player’s preferred role.

Van Gaal to step up pursuit of Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado
Manchester United are set to bid £30 million for the sought-after winger, according to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

The Fiorentina winger impressed for Colombia during the World Cup in Brazil this summer and has emerged as a major target for the Red Devils.

They are now ready to step up their pursuit with a big-money bid in an attempt to beat Barcelona to the player's signature.

United ready to roll on Reus
German forward Marco Reus has turned down a contract extension at Borussia Dortmund.

They claim that this has alerted a number of Europe's top clubs, including Manchester United.

Apparently, contract talks between the player and club and Dortmund collapsed in May, and the 25-year-old forward is now able to leave Jurgen Klopp’s outfit for €35m from 2015, as per his release-clause.

Bild have now dubbed Reus as Mario Gotze II , in that the German starlet appears to be determined to leave BVB according to the terms of his get-out clause.

Liverpool confirm Divock Origi signing
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Belgian starlet Divock Origi.

The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year deal and will return to Lille on loan for the season.

The Belgian has chosen Brendan Rodgers' Reds amid alleged interest from both Tottenham and Arsenal.

Romelu Lukaku Everton transfer looking unlikely as Chelsea set hefty price tag
Everton are desperate to land Belgium star Romelu Lukaku on a permanent deal after he scored 15 goals on loan at Goodison last term and Lukaku, 21, also wants to make the switch for good.

But Chelsea are playing hardball and have made it clear he will only be allowed to leave if a buying club is prepared to meet their hefty asking price of £30million.

Didier Drogba’s return has shunted Lukaku down the Blues strikers’ pecking order behind Diego Costa, Fernando Torres and the Ivorian.

Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has hinted at a possible club-record £24m offer but Chelsea have effectively priced Lukaku out of a transfer to Merseyside.

On Tuesday night, Monaco signalled their interest in the striker, who has two years left on his Chelsea contract, and Juventus are also keen.
