Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe is the only transfer target that Real Madrid are focused on in the final days of the summer window, claims <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2021/08/20/primera/1629417172_631775.html" target="_blank">AS</a>. The Blancos are not looking to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo or make a move for Robert Lewandowski, with it a case of signing a World Cup-winning France international or doing no more business at Santiago Bernabeu.

Milan are eager to bring in Sassuolo star Domenico Berardi, according to <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2021/08/19-84603166/milan_spunta_berardi_vuole_lasciare_il_sassuolo" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. Stefano Pioli has long been an admirer of the 27-year-old, who is currently valued at around €35 million (£30m/$41m). Milan are unlikely to be able to afford such a high fee for Berardi, but are willing to arrange a loan deal if a compromise cannot be reached.
