TRENDING RUMORS
- A fresh offer has been made by Newcastle for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, according to The Athletic. The Magpies are reportedly pushing to win the race for the 22-year-old ahead of Manchester United. The Slovenia international could arrive at St. James' Park as a potential replacement for Liverpool-linked forward Alexander Isak. Florian Plettenberg reports that the proposal is worth a total of €90 million, but Sesko is yet to indicate his final preference -- if Man United respond by matching the Magpies' bid.
- Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze appears likely to stay at the club, reports The Sun. Despite negotiations with Arsenal regarding a deal for the 27-year-old, the Gunners aren't prepared to activate his £68 million release clause. The Eagles are insisting that it must be met, so Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could now begin to look at potential alternatives. Eze contributed to 16 goals in 34 Premier League matches last season.
- Juventus still see Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali as their dream signing, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are expected to end negotiations with Sporting CP for Morten Hjulmand, 26, and concentrate on landing the 25-year-old Tonali. The backup option is Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt O'Riley, 24. Tonali made 36 Premier League appearances last season.
- Talks over personal terms are ongoing between Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Everton after a £28 million deal was agreed, according to BBC Sport. The 26-year-old is reported to have "initially been reluctant" to leave Stamford Bridge, but the Toffees are now close to finalising an agreement. Dewsbury-Hall is also on the radar of Fulham, but it looks as though they will need to move quickly if they are to make a viable challenge for his signature.
- Atlético Madrid want to sign an attacking player, Diario AS reports, and having missed out on VfB Stuttgart's Enzo Millot to Al Ahli, they're now looking at Napoli's Giacomo Raspadori. Long-term candidate Ademola Lookman of Atalanta is another option. Lookman might prove too expensive, the newspaper claims, before mentioning Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo and Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Meanwhile, Marca reports that talks between Atlético and Napoli over Raspadori "intensified on Monday" -- as other alternatives are also being looked at -- and Cadena SER agrees that the Italy international is a top target.
