Aleksandr Golovin is in high-demand after his impressive World Cup

Golovin, 22, is in high-demand after starring on the biggest stage of all as Russia exceeded expectations before crashing out in the quarter-finals on penalties.


Chelsea have already made their move, as revealed by the player's mum, as Maurizio Sarri's side look to complete a £26million deal.



Arsenal have also shown an interest with new boss Unai Emery keep on transforming his side.


But reports claim the player is holding out for a move to the Serie A champions and would be in no rush to join another club.

Aleksandr Golovin is holding out for a move to Juventus

Tuttosport claim that Juve have already had a £19m offer turned down.


Meanwhile, Monaco have made an offer for the World Cup hero.



Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev confirmed the club’s offer to Sport Express, telling the Russian publication: "We made CSKA a proposal for Golovin.


"I cannot say the amount of the transfer, but it is a worthy fee. The duration of the contract? Five years.


"I think in this situation a move to Monaco is the correct option for Golovin.


"To go from Russia immediately to a top club of a leading European league is very risky. We are able to launch the careers of young players. It is enough to look at [Kylian] Mbappe.


"Everything should be decided in the coming days."




CSKA Moscow know that the demand for his signature means they can drive a higher price for his signature.


But the Old Lady are having to curb their spending after splashing out £99m on Ronaldo.


They don't want to fall foul of Uefa's Financial Fair Play initiative and are being forced to sell a number of their players before bringing any new signings in.


One of those players set for the exit door is striker Gonzalo Higuain.


The Argentine is linked with a reunion with Sarri at Chelsea and club chiefs are braced to meet the player's agent on Wednesday.
