Transfer talk: Liverpool and Manchester United set to swoop for Ligue 1 stars

Both Liverpool and Manchester United are eyeing up two Lique 1 stars while a couple of Premier League players could be making their way to Italy.

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, according to The Daily Mail. The France international played a pivotal role in Monaco's 3-1 Champions League win over Arsenal at the Emirates, which apparently won him the attention of Brendan Rodgers. Kondogbia has become one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe after his stellar performances in the French top flight this season. This means that Liverpool will face stiff competition from the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus and Paris St Germain to acquire the player's services next season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcT84Io6KuI

The Guardian are claiming that Manchester United will be ready to offload Robin van Persie at the end of the season in order to make a move for Edinson Cavani.

Although the Uruguayan has scored two less league goals in a lot more games than the Dutchman, reports suggest Louis van Gaal is lining up a £150m overhaul of his squad at the end of the season, with Van Persie being pegged as one of the few to get the boot from Old Trafford. LVG has reportedly been handed a megasaurus budget to play with in an effort to restore the squad to its past glories. Cavani is supposedly top of his shortlist. With one star looking like he could be on the way to the red half of Manchester, it appears the Blues may lose one of their marquee players. Inter Milan reportedly have heavy interest in Yaya Toure, so the Daily Mirror are claiming. Inter Milan will try to tempt the Ivory Coast international away from the Etihad with a five-year contract worth over £100m. It is understood that the Serie A outfit have made the 31-year-old their number one priority. Finally, Roma could be lining up a transfer for Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Inter have had scouts at several Swansea City games this season, where they have taken note of the Polish shot-stopper's form. However, the Serie A club might struggle to lure the ex-Arsenal man away from the Premier League as the 29-year-old has already stated that he would like to remain in England.
