Paper round-up: Man Utd Bale alert, Monaco eye Sanchez, Chelsea £50m Van Dijk bid

EXPRESS SPORT brings you the best from today’s back pages!

Manchester United are poised to make a stunning £90million bid for Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale. 

According to the Daily Star, Real are set to tell Bale he’s surplus to requirements as they target Monaco ace Kylian Mbappe, opening the door for Jose Mourinho to land his man. 

Monaco are set to make a £45m bid for Arsenal want-away star Alexis Sanchez, report The Sun.  

The Chile international has rejected a new deal at the Emirates and while Arsene Wenger insists he will respect the final year of his contract, Sanchez is reportedly still keen to leave the club. 

And Monaco will use Arsenal’s interest in Thomas Lemar to try and tempt Wenger into selling his star man.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing to challenge Liverpool’s pursuit of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.

The Times claim Antonio Conte has persuaded the Premier League champions to make a £50m bid plus add-ons for the Dutchman who’s currently on strike at St Mary’s.
