Chelsea have received a €27m (£23m) bid from Como for defender Trevoh Chalobah, but the Blues are demanding €35m (£30m) for the 26-year-old English defender. Meanwhile, Everton are in prime position to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap as they work to agree personal terms with the 23-year-old.
Brighton have submitted a bid worth around €34m (£29m) for Atalanta's 18-year-old Italian defender Honest Ahanor as they look to plug the gap left by the departure of Dutch central defender Jan Paul van Hecke to Tottenham. Real Madrid have joined Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande, 19, from RB Leipzig.
Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League, has been offered a four-year contract extension to continue as United States coach. On the other hand, Inter Milan may not be able to sign English midfielder Curtis Jones, as Liverpool value the 25-year-old at £34.5 million (€40 million), while the Serie A club are unwilling to offer more than £21.5 million (€25 million) for a player who will be out of contract next summer.
Atletico Madrid tried to convince Argentine striker Julian Alvarez to stay, but the 26-year-old reaffirmed that he still wants to move to Barcelona. Newcastle United's initial investigations into the possibility of signing 25-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha have revealed that the German international is beyond the club's financial reach at the moment. Manchester United's hopes of strengthening their midfield could be affected by the injury to Uruguay international Manuel Ugarte, who was taken off on a stretcher during his team's World Cup defeat against Spain. Hull City are interested in Belgian right-back Thomas Meunier, who will become a free agent after his contract with Lille expires. Finally, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford still wants to return to Barcelona after his loan spell, but the La Liga club are willing to wait until the end of the summer transfer window to complete a deal for the 28-year-old.
