Son to be reunited with Mourinho?
According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Son Heung-min could be on the verge of a sensational link-up with former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho.
Sabuncuoglu reports that Fenerbahce manager Mourinho has met with the South Korea international, with talks "at a very advanced level".
Son is reportedly "open" to the move after spending a decade at Spurs.
"Jose Mourinho met with Heung-min Son. The Korean star's relations with Mourinho are at a very advanced level and he is open to coming to Fenerbahce," wrote Sabuncuoglu on X.
"A transfer fee of 30 million euros is requested due to agreements in the Far East. If the transfer issue is resolved, the talks will progress."

'No agreement' between Arsenal and Sesko
Arsenal are reportedly keen on bringing in a striker this summer, with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres two mooted targets.
But RB Leipzig are apparently not willing to let go of their 22-year-old Slovenia international on the cheap.
German journalist Florian Plettenberg claims that the Bundesliga club are asking for a fee between £68.3-£85.3 million.
Plettenberg also noted that Sesko and Arsenal have not yet reached a full agreement over a move to north London.
The young forward has scored 27 league goals across the past two seasons for Leipzig.
"As reported and confirmed: There is NO full agreement yet between Benjamin Sesko and Arsenal. RB Leipzig are demanding €80–100 million," Plettenberg wrote on X.
"Arsenal are currently not willing to pay the €80–100m demanded by RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko. There has been no official offer from Arsenal yet," the journalist reported earlier this week.
"Arsenal and the player’s camp remain in contact, but personal terms are not yet fully agreed. Arsenal are still monitoring Victor Gyokeres.
"It will be crucial to see whether he can move for the verbally agreed €60–70m, or if Sporting will demand more."
Pogba continues Monaco talks
Paul Pogba has not played professional football since September 2023, when he was suspended for failing a drugs test, but the Frenchman is back on the market this summer after his initial four-year ban was reduced to 18 months.
French outlet RMC Sport has reported that Pogba is continuing negotiations with Ligue 1 side AS Monaco and that his preference is to join them, despite interest from Saudi Arabia.

"According to our information, negotiations are continuing with Monaco," reads the RMC report. "The player's choice is clear; his priority is to join Monaco, and discussions are still ongoing regarding this matter.
"The goal is to find the best solution for all parties. Pogba is also highly sought after and is also popular with Saudi clubs, but his preferred destination remains Monaco, which has qualified for the next Champions League."

Barca foresee 'no problems' with Williams deal
Despite losing out on signing star winger Nico Williams last summer, Barcelona are reportedly confident of landing their man this year.
Spanish outlet Marca have claimed that the Spain international pushed Barcelona to reopen negotiations after seeing their previous two propositions rejected.
Williams seemingly has a £52m release clause, which the Catalan giants are prepared to trigger.
"This June, Barca had moved on from signing Nico Williams, with whom they had reached an agreement a year earlier. However, once again, this time at the player's insistence, the fire has been rekindled," reads Marca's article.
"Barca have enthusiastically welcomed Nico's interest in playing for Barca and have put their wheels in motion to arrange the signing: payment of the [release] clause, seasonal salary and registration requirements.
"Barca believe there will be no problems in any aspect of the deal and there will be help available if necessary."
