Chelsea intend to sell several reserve players this summer to free up cash to sign striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter, writes the <a href="https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/soccer/chelsea-finalise-their-transfer-wish-list-as-their-leading-target-is-revealed-40473935.html" target="_blank">Sunday World</a>. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham are among those expected to be sold to increase spending power at Stamford Bridge.

Leicester&nbsp;are excited Schalke centre-back Ozan Kabak is now a viable target after Liverpool declined&nbsp;an £18 million option to bring him to Anfield on a permanent basis, claims the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-transfer-news-ozan-kabak-24192063" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The Foxes were apparently impressed enough in Kabak's brief loan with the Reds to express interest in the player for the upcoming transfer window. Because Schalke were relegated from the Bundesliga, they are not believed to hold much financial leverage in transfer negotiations.

Liverpool are lining up a deal for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans, according to <a href="https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20210525_97492581" target="_blank">Nieuwsblad</a>.

He's now starting to make good on his promise and has been a key member of Brendan Rodgers' line-up in the Premier League. The Reds are looking to find a replacement for tireless midfield worker&nbsp;Georginio Wijnaldum, who is set to join Barcelona on a free transfer.&nbsp;Tielemans, with his strong pedigree and still-young legs, could be the man for the job.

Zidane exit reports gain momentum

Cagliari director Stefano Capozucca said he would like to have&nbsp;Radja Nainggolan back at the club next season but is frustrated with ongoing negotiations with Inter. “I met with Inter yesterday and they haven’t the slightest intention of understanding our needs or taking a step towards our position," said&nbsp;Capozucca to reporters (via <a href="https://football-italia.net/cagliari-predict-long-summer-for-nainggolan/" target="_blank">Football Italia</a>). “Radja was fundamental in securing Cagliari safety in Serie A this season and I am proud to have someone like him in the squad. “It’s not an easy situation to deal with."
