What the papers say
Manchester City could see their bid for Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez overtaken by Paris St Germain, according to the Sun. Following an unsuccessful £60million attempt in the previous transfer window, City could lose out again as the Ligue 1 side look prepared to give the Chilean a generous signing-on fee and wages above City’s £275,000-a-week offer, the paper says.

Juventus boss Beppe Marotta has suggested Paulo Dybala will be free to leave the club for Barcelona if he so chooses, according to the Sun. Without a release clause, Barca will have to be prepared to battle for the 23-year-old, but Marotta said it is up to a player to decide his own fate, the paper reports.
With eight goals in 10 games, Alfredo Morelos has not gone unnoticed by a host of Championship clubs, including Aston Villa, the Birmingham Mail writes. Despite only being with Rangers since June, scouts have already been in the stands to check out the 21-year-old, and it appears he has not failed to impress.
