Trending rumors
- AS Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur, The Sun reports. The 25-year-old former Arsenal striker is seen as an attractive option for Spurs, who are looking to strengthen their forward line before the Premier League season begins, but contact is yet to be made with the Ligue 1 club regarding a move. Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen, 27, is reportedly one of the names being considered despite the €80 million valuation on his transfer, while Spurs have also discussed a move for Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson, who could be available on loan.
- Liverpool are interested in Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, according to RMC Sport. The Reds have reportedly stepped up their pursuit and are among multiple teams (including Bayer Leverkusen) to have made recent inquiries about signing the 18-year-old, with PSG willing to offload him this summer for around €50 million. Mbaye is believed to be keen on a switch to Anfield, however any move for him isn't expected to impact a potential €120 million deal for teammate Bradley Barcola.
- Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha has been identified by Newcastle United as a potential successor to midfielder Bruno Guimarães if he joins Arsenal for £75 million, L'Equipe reports. Discussions are ongoing between both clubs over a move that could cost up to €100 million. Nmecha, who was a standout performer for Germany at the World Cup, has also been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City, but the Magpies are pressing hard to sign him.
- Nottingham Forest are keen on Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, according to The Daily Mail. Reijnders, 28, is reported to be open to a move to the City Ground, with talks ongoing regarding a £55 million deal. Reijnders made 19 Premier League starts last season, and is one of several names on Forest's shortlist, with Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande and Chelsea striker Liam Delap also wanted by new manager Oliver Glasner.
- Manchester United have been informed by Newcastle that left back Lewis Hall is unavailable for transfer this summer, according to TEAMtalk. Hall, 21, is reported to be the No. 1 priority for United, who are looking for a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw while also planning to move Patrick Dorgu further forward. However, after letting a number of top players depart already, the Magpies view Hall as a cornerstone of their new project and have dismissed any idea of him leaving.
- Chelsea are open to parting ways with defender Tosin Adarabioyo amid interest from Como, TEAMtalk reports. The Blues are aiming to trim their squad to allow them to make further moves, with Coventry City, Ipswich Town, and Hull City also linked with interest in the 28-year-old, who made 16 league appearances last season. The Stamford Bridge hierarchy are also open to loan offers, despite their preference of a permanent deal.

Madrid are not prepared to go beyond that latest offer and the gap with the player's demands -- around €30 million -- remains significant. Read
