And Genasio, who left Lyon at the end of last season, says the France international was left frustrated by the saga.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/fekir-needs-a-new-challenge-ex-lyon-boss-speaks-out-amid/e0sjtjvuyxx119sr3pcs7vtg" target="_blank">Read the full story here on&nbsp;Goal.</a>

'Fekir needs a new challenge'

19-year-old Stuttgart starlet Ozan Kabak may reject Bayern Munich and Manchester United to join Schalke, according to <a href="https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/transfer-fc-schalke-04-schnappt-bayern-muenchen-15-mio-mann-weg-62906112,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html" target="_blank">Bild</a>. The Turkish centre-back has apparently grown impatient with Bayern, who wanted to clarify the future of Jerome Boateng before making a move for Kabak. Having made 15 league appearances for Stuttgart as they were relegated from the Bundesliga last season, the youngster favours a move to a club which can offer him immediate first-team football. His release clause is set at €15 million (£13m/$17m).

Kabak to reject Bayern for Schalke?

James Rodriguez could turn down his mooted switch to Napoli in order to move to Atletico Madrid, according to <a href="https://cadenaser.com/" target="_blank">Cadena SER</a>. Napoli's interest in the Colombian has been confirmed by president Aurelio di Laurentiis, but he may be open to a move which would allow him to stay in Madrid. But any move would be dependent on player sales, with Atletico already set to smash their transfer record to bring in Benfica starlet Joao Felix.

Tottenham are poised to finally sign a player as <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsLyall/status/1144171828736405505" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a> report that Leeds winger Jack Clarke has passed his medical. The 18-year-old is set to join in a deal which could rise to £11.5 million ($14.6m). Clarke impressed for Marcelo Bielsa's side last season, making 25 appearances and registering two goals and assists each.

Steven Gerrard is continuing to make the most of his Liverpool past and is hoping to lure defender Martin Skrtel to Rangers, according to the <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/martin-skrtel-rangers-back-steven-17262597" target="_blank">Daily Record</a>. The Slovakian, now 34, was most recently at Fenerbahce but is now a free agent, and Gerrard is hoping to talk him down from his hefty wages at the Turkish club. Preliminary talks have taken place and apparently gone well, with Skrtel heading to Scotland to formally discuss a contract.

Barcelona have announced the signing of Valencia goalkeeper Neto in a deal which could rise to €35 million (£31m/$40m). With fellow keeper Jasper Cillessen going the other way yesterday, Neto will likely join as a backup to the German Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The 29-year-old has previously played for Fiorentina and Juventus, and has one cap for Brazil to his name.

AC Milan may be ready to move on from their pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira, according to <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>, with a new name on their midfield shortlist. With the Gunners digging in their heels and the Uruguayan apparently content in North London, Milan may consider a move for Udinese midfielder&nbsp;Rolando&nbsp;Mandragora instead. Mandragora, 21, made 35 Serie A appearances last season, scoring three goals. A regular for Italy at under-21 level, he made his single appearance to date for the senior side against France last summer.

Arsenal will hold talks with Basel over the signing of defender Eray Comert, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7183317/Arsenal-step-Basle-defender-Eray-Comert-talks-scheduled.html" target="_blank">Mail</a>. The 21-year-old centre-back could move to north London for just £7 million ($9m), making him an attractive option for the Gunners. Unai Emery is keen to reinforce his defensive options this summer, with Kieran Tierney also a top target.&nbsp;

Steven Gerrard and Patrick Vieira are on Newcastle's shortlist of targets to replace Rafa Benitez, says <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/26/patrick-vieira-steven-gerrard-newcastle-shortlist-search-rafael/" target="_blank">The&nbsp;Telegraph</a>. The likes of Mikel Arteta, Eddie Howe, Steve Bruce and Sean Dyche are also reportedly being considered. Newcastle are keen to bring in a younger manager.

Barcelona's pursuit of Neymar and Antoine Griezmann has been backed by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola. The Catalans' legendary former boss has called the two forwards "very good" players who fit the mould of footballer Barca should be signing.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/guardiola-backs-very-good-neymar-griezmann-as-barcelona/xc1uj4xjxyvb1lrtwaimbj2k0" target="_blank">Read everything Guardiola had to say here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Arsenal will have to offer "a lot more" than £15 million ($19m) to take Kieran Tierney to north London, says Celtic boss Neil Lennon.&nbsp; The left-back is one of the Gunners' top targets this summer, but their initial bid was rejected.&nbsp; Arsenal are working with a significantly reduced transfer budget after again failing to qualify for the Champions League.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-will-need-to-offer-a-lot-more-if-they-want-tierney-warns-/1selo3ym50ux51jehulps32fs0" target="_blank">Read Lennon's full quotes here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Manchester United are no longer pursuing a deal for Harry Maguire due to Leicester City's £100 million ($127m) valuation of the centre-back, says the&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1143846012731252736?s=21" target="_blank">Mirror</a>.&nbsp; Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is an admirer of the England international but Leicester demanded an initial £90m ($114m), plus £10m ($13m) in add-ons.&nbsp; The Red Devils are not willing to pay that, leaving Manchester City with no opposition in the race to sign Maguire.

Man Utd end Maguire interest

Arsenal have shown an interest in signing Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, and the Ivory Coast international is reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates. But a 25 per cent sell on clause, inserted by the Red Devils when they sold him back to Palace in 2015, means the Gunners are struggling to meet the Croydon club's valuation, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/1143846012731252736?s=21" target="_blank">BBC</a>. Palace want £80 million ($101m) for the 26-year-old and had tried to negotiate an end to Man Utd's sell-on clause during their Aaron Wan-Bissaka talks, but were denied.

Real Madrid have opened talks with Ajax over the potential transfer of Donny van de Beek, claims&nbsp;<a href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/2137733872/real-madrid-meldt-zich-voor-van-de-beek" target="_blank">De Telegraf</a>. Ajax director Marc Overmars is said to want between €50-60 million (£44.7m/56.7m) for the 22-year-old, and Real are willing to pay it.&nbsp; The attacking midfielder&nbsp;was a key figure in the side that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.&nbsp;

Manchester City&nbsp;manager Pep Guardiola feels that&nbsp;Atletico Madrid&nbsp;midfielder Rodri is a "great player" but refused to be drawn on whether the club will sign him. The&nbsp;Spain&nbsp;international has been strongly linked with a move to the English title holders in recent weeks. The 23-year-old only signed for Diego Simeone's side last year and&nbsp;enjoyed a fine first season as&nbsp;Los Rojiblancos came second behind&nbsp;Barcelona in La Liga. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/hes-a-great-player-guardiola-coy-on-rodri-links-as/sfo1oxyhqaik17hy0gnt9vnjy" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>

Juventus&nbsp;are closing on a €70 million (£63m/$80m) transfer for&nbsp;Ajax&nbsp;captain Matthijs De Ligt, with a deal possible in the coming hours. Sources have told&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;that the&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;champions have received extremely positive signals from both Ajax and De Ligt’s agent, Mino Raiola, indicating a deal is close. De Ligt is set to sign a five-year contract with Juventus that will keep him in Turin until 2024. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/juventus-close-to-70m-de-ligt-move-as-five-year-contract/19mx5enyfc0o91dfghas4fwpwe" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>

Napoli are believed to have agreed a contract extension with Fabian Ruiz to take the Spaniard through until 2024, says <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/napoli-reach-agreement-with-fabian-ruiz-over-contract-extension-the-details" target="_blank">Gianluca Di Marzio</a>. The 23-year-old made 40 appearances across all competitions for the Serie A side last season and has been rewarded with a pay increase. The move helps Napoli stave off interest from Real Madrid, who were thought to be keen on Fabian's services.

Newcastle would have to pay Burnley an eight-figure sum as compensation if they were to bring Sean Dyche to St James' Park as their new manager, says <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7185369/Newcastle-pay-huge-10m-compensation-fee-poach-Dyche.html" target="_blank">the Daily Mail</a>. The Magpies are on the hunt for a replacement for Rafa Benitez after the Spaniard left Tyneside. Dyche, who still has three years left on his current deal at Turf Moor, is one of several names being floated to take on the job.

AC Milan are keen on bringing Real Madrid's Theo Hernandez on loan to San Siro next season, per <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/milan-continue-to-negotiate-with-real-madrid-for-theo-hernandez-the-latest" target="_blank">Gianluca Di Marzio</a>.

Arsenal&nbsp;midfielder Lucas Torreira has denied reports that he is close to joining AC Milan&nbsp;this summer. The Uruguayan has been linked with a return to&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;just one year after he left&nbsp;Sampdoria&nbsp;for the Gunners. The 23-year-old was a key player for Unai Emery's side last season, making 50 appearances in all competitions as they reached the&nbsp;Europa League&nbsp;final. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/torreira-denies-ac-milan-offer-and-reiterates-arsenal/11dcnruy94jlbzt7w27x4y1zp" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>

Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up attempts to bring Gianluigi&nbsp;Donnarumma to the club from AC Milan, with the Ligue 1 outfit open to swapping&nbsp;Alphonse Areola in return, per <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/milan-donnarumma-verso-il-psg" target="_blank">Gianluca Di Marzio</a>. The 20-year-old is a former target of the French champions, who are determined to bring him to Paris.
