Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Xavi Simons, who is open to the possibility of a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues, however, will have to make a sale or two before they can make a formal bid for the RB Leipzig star. Chelsea have already bolstered their squad by signing forwards like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, while Estevao Willian is also set to join the club.
Saul Niguez has reportedly agreed to join Brazilian giants Flamengo just hours after pulling the plug on a move to Turkish side Trabzonspor. The former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid midfielder cited "personal stuff" for the sudden change in plans. He will now reunite with ex-teammate Filipe Luis, who is head coach at the Brazilian Serie A side, and Jorginho.
Manchester City have reportedly ruled out a summer move for Newcastle’s Tino Livramento, despite needing a new right-back following Kyle Walker’s departure to Burnley. Pep Guardiola is instead considering Barcelona’s Jules Kounde, although a deal looks difficult at the moment. City are now focused on player exits, but could still act if the deal for Kounde is deemed possible.
Ashley Young is reportedly set to join Ipswich Town on a free transfer after a potential return to Watford collapsed due to wage issues. The 40-year-old former Manchester United and Everton star was released by the Toffees in May and is now preparing for one final campaign in the Championship under Kieran McKenna as the Tractor Boys eye a return to the Premier League.
Manchester United are reportedly ready to accept around £40 million ($54m) for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentina international among several players pushed out by manager Ruben Amorim. The winger was previously valued as high as £70 million ($94.4m), but growing interest from Premier League rivals may now lead to a cut-price exit for the 21-year-old.
Wrexham have confirmed the signing of George Thomason from Bolton Wanderers as their fourth summer addition, with the 24-year-old midfielder penning a three-year deal. Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac continue to back Phil Parkinson's and his squad, as the Welsh club gear up for life in the Championship with Premier League dreams in sight.
Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up a renewed approach for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, despite their initial bid being rejected in January. Liverpool are said to be heavy favourites to sign the England international, but the Lilywhites have not ruled themselves out of the race as they explore options to bolster their defence this summer amid Cristian Romero's uncertain future.
Arsenal agreed a deal with Valencia for Cristhian Mosquera almost ten days ago, but the transfer has yet to be officially announced. The 21-year-old defender travelled to London, and even gave a welcome interview. However, he has been left out of the Gunners' Asia tour squad, raising questions over a delay that remains shrouded in secrecy.
AC Milan have tabled a new offer for Brighton's left-back Pervis Estupinan, but it still falls short of their €20 million (£17m/$23m) valuation of the Ecuadorian.
Bayern Munich believe Liverpool will soften their stance on selling Luis Diaz this summer after spending close to £300 million ($402m) in the ongoing transfer window. The Reds are close to signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, which could convince them to allow Diaz to exit Anfield. The Colombian winger is keen to leave the Reds and join the Bundesliga giants.
Mikel Arteta explained why he keeps raiding Stamford Bridge for new signings after Arsenal completed Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga's transfer from Chelsea this summer. Madueke became the sixth Blues player to move to Emirates since Arteta took charge of the club and 10th player in the past 10 years. The Gunners faced criticism from fans following the confirmation of Madueke's arrival.
