Marcos Rojo is reportedly keen on extending his loan spell at Estudiantes. The Manchester Evening News says the Manchester United and Argentina defender has only played one game for the club amid injuries and the coronavirus pandemic and would love to get more opportunities to play in his homeland.
The Daily Mirror reports that AC Milan have decided not to make an offer for England midfielder Adam Lallana this summer, despite the 31-year-old being out of contract at Liverpool at the end of June.
