TRENDING RUMORS
– An offer worth £26 million would be accepted by Paris Saint-Germain for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to the Daily Mirror. Sources told ESPN earlier this summer that Manchester United are among the clubs looking at the 26-year-old Italy international as they are looking to add competition between the posts for current No. 1 André Onana. Donnarumma entered the final year of his contract at the Parc des Princes in June, and PSG don’t want to risk losing him on a free transfer. The former AC Milan goalkeeper is also a target for his former club’s great rivals, Inter Milan.
– Chelsea are willing to include forward Christopher Nkunku in a deal to sign attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, reports The Guardian. The Bundesliga club are keen on re-signing the 27-year-old, though they are expected to also demand a “sizeable” transfer fee before agreeing to any part player exchange deal involving Simons. Nkunku arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2023, but scored just three league goals last season as he struggled to garner regular starting minutes in England‘s top flight, with 18 of his 27 appearances coming from the bench.
– Newcastle United could finally be closer to landing a striker, with Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson keen on a switch to St. James’ Park, according to the Daily Telegraph. Jackson, 24, is believed to be the latest option on manager Eddie Howe’s radar after missing out on a move for Manchester United’s Benjamin Sesko, and after being linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge recently, it is reported he would prefer to join the Magpies if he is to leave west London this summer. Improved form in the Premier League last season saw him contribute to 15 goals in 30 matches.
– Personal terms have been agreed between Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman and Al Nassr, according to Bild. The 29-year-old France international has accepted a contract offer from the Saudi Pro League side worth up to €30m per season. In his decade at Bayern, Coman has won 20 trophies, most notably scoring the winning goal for them in the 2020 UEFA Champions League final. However, he started fewer than half of Bayern’s Bundesliga matches last term, scoring five goals in their title-winning campaign.
– Álvaro Morata‘s loan move to Serie A club Como is expected to be announced soon after Galatasaray confirmed they have cut short the striker’s loan from AC Milan and will receive €5m as compensation. Morata, who won the league title with Galatasaray, had a contract with the Turkish giants until January 2026. The Spain captain is now expected to join Serie A club Como on a season-long loan from Milan with a purchase option included in the deal.
CONFIRMED DEALS
– Valencia have signed Netherlands international forward Arnaut Danjuma on a permanent transfer from Villarreal, with the 28-year-old signing a three-year contract.
