What the papers say

Porto striker Moussa Marega appears to be in high demand, with three Premier League clubs reportedly showing interest in the 26-year-old. The Mirror says Marega is keen to move to the English top flight but the Portuguese giants are likely to demand a large fee before letting go of their star player. The striker has a £35million buy-out clause, but his good form this season could persuade Everton and West Ham to make a move in the summer and Tottenham have also scouted the player in the past, the paper reports.

Meanwhile, sticking with Porto, Iker Casillas could also be heading for England, with reports in Spain suggesting Liverpool have stepped up their efforts for the former Real Madrid goalkeeper. Citing Spanish outlet Sport, The Sun says the 36-year-old will leave Portugal at the end of the season when his contract runs out and Liverpool are poised to make a move amid speculation Simon Mignolet’s time as Anfield will draw to a close.  Roma’s Alisson is also thought to be on Jurgen Klopp’s list of targets to keep the pressure on current top keeper Loris Karius, the paper says.
