Lorenzo Pellegrini remains a key Manchester United transfer target. The 22-year-old Roma midfielder has been strongly linked with an Old Trafford switch and the two clubs remain locked in talks. United boss Jose Mourinho has already spoken personally to the player's agent and is hoping the Premier League side will be willing to pay Pellegrini's £26.5m release clause. (Calciomercato)

Alvaro Morata believes that Antonio Conte lost control during his time in charge of Chelsea. Having been signed by the Italian in the summer of 2017, Morata struggled during his first year at Stamford Bridge, leading to the club adding Olivier Giroud in January. "Antonio is a person who likes to have a certain control in the club and maybe at Chelsea it wasn't like that. And when you start having problems at the top, then it's inevitable that they end affecting even at the lower levels." (La Gazzetta dello Sport)
