Real Madrid have reignited their interest in Donny van de Beek as an alternative option over Paul Pogba, per <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2019/08/01/5d42f927268e3e8d758b45e0.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. Los Blancos have been heavily&nbsp;linked with a move for the Manchester United midfielder but with a deal very much still up in the air, they have now turned their attention back to the Ajax midfielder. Pogba remains first choice for Zinedine Zidane while Tottenham's Christian Eriksen is another name that has been floated.

Manchester City have set Leroy Sane's asking price at £145 million ($175m) as Bayern Munich look to capture the winger, claims <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9636655/leroy-sane-man-city-bayern-munich/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The Germany international has long been linked this off-season with a move to the Bundesliga champions but the Premier Legue title holders have been left angered by the Bavarian side's public pursuit. If Bayern are to ultimately pay up, it will represent one of the most expensive transfers in history.

RB Leipzig will not sell Sevilla target Peter Gulacsi for less than £20.1million (€22m;&nbsp;$24.5m).

Should Leroy Sane join Bayern Munich, he will be awarded the number 10 jersey. The Manchester City winger is reportedly itching for a move to the Bavarian capital to join the Bundesliga champions in a transfer possibly worth up to £183 million&nbsp;(€200m; $222m),&nbsp;according to Bild. The German newspaper&nbsp;reports that with Arjen Robben having departed Bayern, Niko Kovac would hand Sane his old number 10 shirt.

Mario Balotelli could be set for a return to Serie A with Hellas Verona, report the <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a>. The 28-year-old is currently without a club after the end of his contract at French club Marseille, where he scored eight goals last season. Hellas are a newly promoted side in the Italian top flight, and may already have made a concrete proposal to the striker.

Lanus forward Pedro De La Vega has put speculation linking him with a move to Europe to one side by signing a new four-year contract at the Argentine side.

He has one goal in 13 appearances for Lanus, and has also represented the Argentina under-20 team.

Napoli are willing to pay the €42 million (£38.4m/$46.7m) release clause for PSV winger Hirving Lozano, report the <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/08/02-59590642/lozano_al_napoli_ecco_quanto_pagher_de_laurentiis/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. Lozano has been linked with the Serie A side throughout the summer but the move finally going ahead could suggest Napoli have lost hope in their pursuit of Real Madrid's James Rodriguez. The 24-year-old Mexico international scored 21 goals in 40 games from the wing last season, adding a further 12 assists.

Paulo Dybala has been left angry and frustrated by Juventus' desire to sell him, leaving him open to a move to Manchester United, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1157373995060273161" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. The 25-year-old is the subject of a proposed swap deal with Romelu Lukaku, and it has reportedly been made clear he doesn't have a place in Maurizio Sarri's plans. He has scored 57 league goals in 128 games since moving from Palermo four years ago&nbsp;but last season represented his worst goalscoring season since 2013-14, when he was still a youngster in the second tier.

Genoese pair Sampdoria and Genoa are both interested in the 32-year-old, who was recently released by Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Giovani Lo Celso has been in talks with an unknown Spanish side, claim <a href="https://twitter.com/_antoniofuentes/status/1157350853659037699" target="_blank">Onda Cero</a>. The Argentina international has been widely expected to join Tottenham this summer, but the move may not go ahead unless Spurs sell Christian Eriksen. Lo Celso is reported to be available for €60 million (£54.8m/$66.7m) with Betis having already brought in Nabil Fekir as his replacement, but Daniel Levy might not be willing to reach this figure.

The 28-year-old was the Spanish Second Division's top scorer last season, and the Blues are willing to meet his €1.5 million (£1.4m/$1.7m) release clause. Gimenez has also represented the likes of Elche and Mallorca, and made three appearances for Spain under-17s as a youngster.

The 31-year-old spent four years at Cagliari between 2010 and 2014, before spending another four with Roma. He joined Inter last summer, registering seven goals and three assists in what looks like being his only season at San Siro.

Celtic&nbsp;boss Neil Lennon has admitted he would not be at all surprised if&nbsp;Arsenalcame back in with another offer for full-back Kieran Tierney before the transfer window closes&nbsp;next Thursday. The Gunners have been unsuccessful in their summer-long pursuit of the 22-year-old, and have been left frustrated despite lodging two separate bids –&nbsp;the second of which was for £25 million ($31m). So far, the Scottish champions have held firm over their valuation of the left-back, but Hoops manager Lennon has not ruled out another bid from the north Londoners before the August 8 deadline. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/celtic-boss-lennon-preparing-for-improved-arsenal-bid-for/1fyatomj5nb1o1f4eyw57kasdb" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Radamel Falcao is not on his way to Galatasaray despite reports suggesting that the Monaco forward is destined for the Turkish outfit, per <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1157051224820264963?s=20" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>.
