Transfer Talk: Man Utd to splash £250m for Portuguese trio Felix, Dias, Fernandes

The transfer window for Europe's biggest clubs is closed, but click here for all the deals. Transfer Talk will continue to scour the world's media and set correspondents loose to see what's on the agenda for the summer.

Ole Keen To Prize Portuguese Prospects to Old Trafford
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified three Portuguese talents as his key summer transfer targets, but the Old Trafford hierarchy will have to fork out a staggering £250 million to secure the trio.

The Mirror have revealed 19-year-old Joao Felix, his Benfica teammate Ruben Dias, 21, and 24-year-old Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes as the three men at the top of Solksjaer's summer wish list.

But the Norwegian faces stiff competition, as well as equally stiff transfer fees, to secure those three coveted signatures. Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on the Portugal internationals.

A quarter of a billion pounds has been earmarked as the fee required to purchase the trio, with Felix boasting a release clause of £105m, while the fees for Fernandes and Dias are believed to be at the £95m and £50m marks respectively.

Inter line up Bergwijn as Perisic replacement
Inter Milan are monitoring PSV Eindhoven forward Steven Bergwijn, with the Italians becoming increasingly sure of the departure of winger Ivan Perisic.

Perisic has been continously linked with a move away from the San Siro for the last few transfer windows, and the World Cup finalist looks set to finally move on in the summer, and Inter are keen for Netherlands international Bergwijn to step into the breach.

The 21-year-old has been lighting up the Eredivisie this season, scoring eleven goals and laying on a further 12 in just 25 league games, and that form has attracted attention from some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

Inter's interest has been tentative so far, but Calciomercato reports that if they act quickly, they should be in pole position to meet PSV's €40 million evaluation.

Arsenal plot Kannemann and surprise Herrera swoops
Arsenal are pondering a move for Argentinian defender Walter Kannemann.

The 28-year-old has been earning rave reviews for his performances in Brazil for Gremio, with a string of European clubs now keen to bring the Argentina international to the continent.

Arsenal's biggest competition appears to be from Atletico Madrid, with manager Diego Simeone having worked with Kannemann at former club San Lorenzo.

The Mirror also claims that the Gunners are keeping a close eye on Ander Herrera's contract situation at Manchester United. The Spaniard is yet to agree a new deal at Old Trafford, and the prospect of him leaving for nothing in the summer has roused Arsenal manager Unai Emery's interest.

- Calciomercato claims Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic is the top transfer target for Inter Milan. The Catalans are set for an injection of youth this summer, with Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong heading up what appears to be one of many young players heading to the Nou Camp in the close season, and his arrival could see Rakitic's playing time rapidly drop.

- Napoli are planning their summer shopping spree, and have identified PSV winger Hirving Lozano and Bournemouth centre back Nathan Ake as key targets. Gazetta Dello Sport claims Dutchman Ake has been sounded out as a potential replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, who looks increasingly likely to leave Serie A at the end of the season.

- Calciomercato claims Juventus are plotting a move for Fiorentina winger Federico Chiesa in the summer. Current Juve widemen Douglas Costa and Juan Cuadrado have flattered to deceive this season, and manager Massimiliano Allegri looks set to chop and change in Turin, but is baulking at the proposed €70 million fee for the 21-year-old.
