Also, is French midfielder Adrien Rabiot about to join <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus<\/a>?<\/p>\n<h1>European Transfer Rumours: Manchester United, Celtic, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus<\/h1>\n<h2>Transfer Rumours Indicate Lukaku Close to Inter Move<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2019\/06\/13\/manchester-united-star-romelu-lukaku-agrees-personal-terms-inter-milan-9949034\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Metro<\/a>, via Gazzetta dello Sport, are reporting that Romelu Lukaku is on the verge of joining <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/05\/29\/report-antonio-conte-becomes-new-inter-milan-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inter Milan<\/a>. The report claims that the <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> striker has already agreed terms. However, a fee is yet to be agreed. Lukaku had been rumoured to be leaving after falling out of favour with <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/04\/07\/the-wheels-could-fall-off-for-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-at-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lukaku has stated that he is a \u201cbig fan\u201d of Serie A and new Inter boss Antonio Conte. The former <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/chelseafootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> manager is looking to make big changes, despite Inter qualifying for next seasons <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/01\/champions-league-final-liverpool-tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champions League<\/a>. Lukaku almost signed for Conte when the Italian was at Chelsea but opted for United instead. Since signing, the Belgian has<br \/>\nscored 42 goals in two seasons in all competitions.<\/p>\n<h2>Lyon Enter Race for Celtic Star<\/h2>\n<p>French side Lyon are set to join the race to sign Celtic\u2019s Olivier Ntcham. David Friel of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thescottishsun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/4363827\/olivier-ntcham-celtic-lyon-transfer-news-porto-marseille\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scottish Sun<\/a> claims that Lyon have joined Porto and Marseille in the hunt for the midfielder. All three are preparing \u00a312 million bids for the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>New Lyon manager Sylvinho is looking to bolster his midfield. He sees Ntcham as the ideal addition. Ntcham only signed a four-year contract in November. This gives Celtic greater bargaining in any deal made. The former <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchestercityfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> player was linked with Porto in January; however, it appears that Celtic are willing to cash in at the right price.<\/p>\n<h2>Dortmund Interested in Arsenal Captain<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/arsenal-identify-laurent-koscielny-replacement-16515219\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Mirror<\/a> are reporting that Borussia Dortmund are interested in Laurent Koscielny. The 33-year-old Gunners captain has 12 months left on his current contract and could leave this summer. Should the defender move on, Arsenal will demand around \u00a310 million.<\/p>\n<p>The report suggests that Koscielny is not interested in negotiating a new contract, preferring to seek a new challenge. Dortmund can offer Champions League football next season where Arsenal qualified for the Europa League after finishing fifth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<h2>Juventus Keen on Rabiot<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s<\/a> French international Adrien Rabiot has held talks with Juventus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/20876\/11741806\/psg-midfielder-adrien-rabiot-holds-talks-with-juventus\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sky Sports<\/a> are reporting that Rabiot could leave <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/13\/transfer-rumours-barcelona-paris-saint-germain-and-juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PSG<\/a> after seven years in Paris. A refusal to sign a new contract saw him dropped last season. A move to Barcelona during the transfer window also fell through.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old has also been linked with Manchester United; however, it now appears that the Juventus are favourites. Rabiot has played 240 times for PSG, earning several caps for the French national side.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"KBvY7GEbQ45rDT7zOaVPPQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1155424693\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KBvY7GEbQ45rDT7zOaVPPQ',sig:'Tmuk5be_r36ccJkU8AJpCXBe5-smdYRZ0uNPZOoMOP0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1155424693',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s FTN looks at the latest European transfer rumours.
