Inter could sell Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea if they receive an offer in the region of €120m&nbsp;(£102m/$142m) after&nbsp;rejecting the Blues' bid of €100m (£85m/$118m),&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;can confirm. The Serie A champions decided to rebuff the offer, that also included Marcos Alonso heading in the opposite direction,&nbsp;as it fell short of their valuation of the forward, while they are not interested in a player exchange deal. Chelsea were hopeful that they could&nbsp;capitalise on Inter's financial difficulties by making a big offer for Lukaku, and the Nerazzurri would likely consider a sale at around the €120m&nbsp;mark. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/inter-would-consider-lukaku-sale-at-120m-after-rejecting-chelsea-/sig4nwnnobz71i0p0b6wup1wp" target="_blank">Check out the full story here!</a>

Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Hart will undergo a medical with Celtic today, according to Mail Online. The former England No 1 will reportedly finalise a £1 million move to Glasgow and sign a three-year deal. The 34-year-old is seeking first team football after a year as understudy to Hugo Lloris at Spurs, and has fallen further down the pecking order after the arrival of&nbsp;Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta on loan.

Chelsea have seen an £85 million ($118m) offer for Inter striker Romelu Lukaku rejected, Goal can confirm. The Blues included&nbsp;Marcos Alonso in the proposal, but the Nerazzurri will only consider bids in excess of £100m ($139m) for the 28-year-old. Lukaku is settled at Inter, but the Italian giants need to sell a number of first-team stars to balance the books after the coronavirus crisis.

Jose Mourinho has been unable to convince Arsenal to sell Granit Xhaka to his new Roma side and will now turn his attention to Denmark and Borussia Dortmund star Thomas Delaney, reports <a href="https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/borussia-dortmund-mourinho-jagt-abraeumer-blitzwechsel-nach-italien-77253140,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html" target="_blank">Bild</a>. Delaney, like Xhaka, impressed at Euro 2020. But he's more of a defensive-minded midfielder rather than a deep-lying playmaker, and would bring different qualities to the Serie A team.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a serious financial impact on football clubs across the globe&nbsp;and the knock-on effect has been a relatively quiet transfer window...&nbsp;so far. Going into August, there had been&nbsp;just three moves costing more than £50 million ($70m) –&nbsp;compared to 17 two years earlier.
