TRENDING RUMORS
- It doesn't look like Alexander Isak will get his dream move to Liverpool, with the Daily Telegraph reporting that Newcastle have told the striker he cannot move in this window. The 25-year-old has been ostracised from the first-team squad after becoming unsettled by the interest from Liverpool, who have seen a £110 million offer turned down. Despite the stand-off between club and player, the report says that the Sweden international must stay at St James' Park "in a show of defiance from the club's Saudi owners." However, Isak is, for now at least, refusing to accept that stance.
- Liverpool are now the clear favourites to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, reports the Daily Telegraph. Chelsea were expected to be Liverpool's main rivals following the serious knee injury suffered by Levi Colwill, but Enzo Maresca prefers to concentrate on other targets. Newcastle tried to sign Guehi last season, but this summer central defence is not a priority. The 25-year-old is into the final year of his contract and is expected to move on before the window closes. Palace face Liverpool in the Community Shield on Sunday.
- AC Milan are set to rival cross-city rivals Internazionale and Liverpool for Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, Corriere dello Sport reports. The 18-year-old remains a "dream transfer" for the Serie A rivals, while Liverpool are said to have made a direct enquiry to Parma. Milan manager Max Allegri is a huge fan of Leoni, who is valued at around €35 million. As things stand, the young centre-back isn't pushing to leave Parma, although his ideal scenario is to join a top club in Italy and eventually become a key player in the national team. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will officially enter the race to sign him in the final weeks of the transfer window. For the Milan clubs, much will rest on their outgoing transfer business, and an increased offer from Newcastle for Malick Thiaw could put AC Milan in the driving seat.
- AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw has reached a full agreement with Newcastle United over personal terms, Rudy Galetti reports. The deal still remains someway off being finalized, however, as Milan are holding out for a €40 million fee, and won't sanction the Germany international exit until a replacement is signed first. Should the deal be completed, Thiaw is expected to sign a contract on Tyneside until at least 2029. The centre-back, who joined Milan in 2022 from Schalke, has been capped three times by Germany.
- Newcastle will also increase their offer for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa to £30 million, The Times reports. The Magpies have already seen a £25 million bid turned down by the west London club, who are holding out for a fee closer to £40 million. The report adds that the Bees will look to sign Dango Ouattara from AFC Bournemouth as Wissa's replacement.
