Euro 2020 winner Domenico Berardi has been linked with a move to Leicester. The Sassuolo winger has spent the majority of his career in Emilia-Romagna but Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is eyeing a flurry of summer activity and said to be a fan of the Italian, according to the Leicester Mercury.

Manchester United are reportedly confident they can still land their top transfer targets if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
