Three Premier League clubs are ready to make proposals for an Italy winger who is impressing at Euro 2020, while a Chelsea flop has been offered a surprise escape route by one of Europe’s biggest clubs – all in Monday’s Euro transfer gossip.

PREM TRIO IN BATTLE FOR BERARDI

Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping tabs on Domenico Berardi, according to reports.

Berardi was a starter for Italy in their Euro 2020 opener against Turkey and his cross led to Merih Demiral’s own goal. It set them on their way to a 3-0 win in which he was one of the protagonists.

After impressing on the international stage, Berardi is now on the radar of several Premier League clubs. So far, he has spent his entire career with Sassuolo, helping them win promotion from Serie B in his debut season before they established themselves as Serie A regulars.

But now, the 26-year-old is considering a change of scenery, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

If the right winger does leave, the Premier League seems the most likely destination. He has multiple suitors in England who could now act upon their interest.

For example, Tottenham are expressing an interest under the direction of incoming managing director, Fabio Paratici. The ex-Juventus chief will oversee their transfers this summer and could look to his native country for reinforcements.

But London rivals Arsenal could also make a move, as they look to replenish a faltering attack. Willian did not make a major impression after joining from Chelsea and Martin Odegaard has returned to Real Madrid. It leaves them in need of more options for creativity.

Berardi a Sancho alternative?

And another strong suitor for Berardi could be Man Utd. The right-wing position is a priority for the Red Devils to strengthen and in that regard, Jadon Sancho remains their top target. But Berardi would be a cheaper alternative if they once again fail to meet Borussia Dortmund’s asking price. Sassuolo value their vice-captain at €50m.

Juventus and AC Milan could yet offer him a stay in Italy, but Berardi wants to consider all his options and that includes a potential Premier League move. United and Arsenal have made the most pressing enquiries so far, so they could have an advantage.

Berardi, who scored 17 goals in Serie A last season, is still under contract in Reggio-Emilia until 2024.
