The Paper Round on Monday leads with speculation that Paris Saint-German are “prepared to allow” Kylian Mbappe to leave on loan, putting several Premier League clubs on alert. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are so confident of signing Harry Kane from Tottenham that the German champions have already arranged a house for him to live in, and Chelsea are preparing another bid for Brighton's Moises Caicedo.

Mbappe could leave PSG on loan
Paris Saint-German are “prepared to allow” Kylian Mbappe to leave on loan for a substantial fee, claim the Daily Mirror.
“That has alerted a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and despite denials from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool,” states the paper.
It continues: “Mbappe’s representatives which includes his Liverpool supporting mother Fayza Lamari have held discreet discussions with a selection of Premier League club intermediaries.”
Mbappe’s future at the Ligue 1 winners has been unclear for some time due to his reluctance to extend his contract, which expires next summer.
He wasn’t included in the squad’s pre-season trip to Japan and South Korea as the row intensified.
Bayern have 'arranged' a house for Kane
Bayern Munich are so confident of signing Harry Kane from Tottenham that the German champions have already arranged a house for the England striker to live in.
That’s according to the Daily Mirror who claim the Bavarians are “finding him a new home in the millionaire’s enclave of Grunwald on the outskirts of the city”.
The paper continues: “Bayern are also in discussions with Kane’s advisers about what number he will wear - and have already reserved him a seat in the dressing room. The German giants are continuing to crank up the pressure on Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to sell his talisman.”
Kane scored four times as Tottenham beat Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday.
Chelsea preparing another bid for Caicedo
Chelsea are preparing another bid for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, claim The Telegraph.
The paper states: “Chelsea have had multiple bids rejected for Caicedo this summer, the latest of which is understood to have been worth £80 million, but have not given up hope of bringing the 21-year-old to Stamford Bridge.”
The Ecuador international played no part in Brighton’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, but Paul Barber, the club’s chief executive, claimed he had a slight hamstring injury.
He said: “With a Premier League season just a week away it makes no sense to risk him today.
“We’re looking forward to Moises starting the season with us, he’s a Brighton player under a long-term contract.
“He’s probably one of the most exciting young midfield players in the world at the moment and we’re delighted to have him.”
Inter revive interest in Balogun
Inter Milan have revived their interest in signing Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun, claim the Mail.
Inter, who have missed out on the signings of West Ham’s Gianluca Scamacca and Romelu Lukaku of Chelsea, “had been looking to offer around £26million for Balogun who is valued at around £45million by Arsenal,” says the paper.
The article continues: “However, Arsenal's valuation could prove to be a sticking point this summer as Inter are yet to agree on a fee for the forward.”
Balogun scored 21 league goals for Ligue 1 outfit Reims last season in a successful loan spell.
