TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund looks set to leave the club as an €85 million move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko edges closer, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. And AC Milan remain interested in the Denmark international, who signed from Atalanta in 2023 for €74m plus €10m in add-ons but has scored just 11 goals in 58 appearances since.
- An approach to sign Liverpool attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott has been made by RB Leipzig, according to The Athletic. It is reported that the Bundesliga club see the 22-year-old as a potential replacement for Xavi Simons, who is being linked with a €70m move to Chelsea. Elliott is reported to be open to leaving Anfield this summer, in search of more regular first team football, with any deal expected to require an offer in excess of €45m.
- Napoli have resurfaced as a destination for AC Milan and USMNT midfielder Yunus Musah, says Gianluca Di Marzio. "Several discussions" have reportedly already taken place, with Napoli manager Antonio Conte seeing the 22-year-old as a strong fit for his squad that would complete their transfer business this summer. Musah, who arrived at San Siro from Valencia in 2023, was a key player for the Rossoneri last season, making 40 appearances across all competitions.
- Manchester United have dismissed interest in center back Harry Maguire from five teams, reports The Daily Mail. Clubs in the Premier League as well as Serie A are reported to be keen on the 32-year-old, but the Red Devils want him to stay put and intend to propose a new contract that could secure him at Old Trafford for the remainder of his career. Maguire made 40 appearances across all competitions last season while establishing himself as a mainstay in manager Ruben Amorim's side.
- West Ham are monitoring the situation of Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling, according to TalkSPORT. Manager Graham Potter is said to have a positive relationship with the 30-year-old after working with him during his time at Stamford Bridge, and the Blues are keen to part ways with him before the transfer window closes. Juventus are also exploring a move for Sterling, but it is reported that he would prefer to stay in London, with Fulham and Crystal Palace also recently linked after his failed loan move to Arsenal.

EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Liverpool correspondent Beth Lindop on the future for Harvey Elliott.
Elliott is an outstanding talent. At just 22, he has already made close to 150 Liverpool appearances and has enjoyed a number of memorable moments in a red shirt.
He's also a boyhood Liverpool fan and has spoken numerous times before about his desire to remain at Anfield for the entirety of his career. However, over the past few months, there has been a clear shift in Elliott's thinking, with the player having acknowledged that leaving the club could be the best thing for him.
With game-time limited last season and more competition having arrived this summer in the shape of Florian Wirtz, Elliott seemingly feels now could be the right time to move on. Leipzig certainly makes sense as a destination and the England midfielder -- who was named Player of the Tournament at this summer's Under-21 European Championship -- has all the credentials to flourish outside of the physicality of the Premier League.
