Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has reportedly made clear that Liverpool's £50m approach for Ismaila Sarr was dismissed out of hand, telling the Reds the deal was "never going to happen," according to Sky Sports' round-up of the papers.
Elsewhere in the transfer gossip mill, former France international Frank Leboeuf has taken aim at Bradley Barcola, suggesting the Paris Saint-Germain forward isn't performing at a level that justifies his reported £123m valuation.
At Manchester United, midfielder JJ Gabriel is said to be heading for the exit, with reports indicating he could leave the club "by next summer at the latest."
Meanwhile, Real Madrid may be preparing to shift their usual transfer approach, with suggestions the club could be willing to include a manager-friendly clause for Jose Mourinho in future dealings, though details remain unconfirmed.
As always with Sky Sports' paper talk roundup, these stories stem from newspaper reporting rather than confirmed club statements, so they should be treated as transfer speculation rather than done deals.
