Fabrizio Romano says RB Leipzig have turned down a €100m (£85.4m) offer from Real Madrid for winger Yan Diomande, with Liverpool, Arsenal and PSG among the clubs chasing his signature.

The Bundesliga side believe they can get more money for the Ivory Coast star and have an asking price in the region of £100million.

The report claims PSG have been in talks with Leipzig 'for weeks' but don't have an agreement yet with Leipzig.

Everton have confirmed that 36-year-old Idrissa Gana Gueye has left the Toffees after a second spell with the club. The club had been in talks with the Senegal international about a new deal, but he looks set to join Saudi Pro League side Al Diriyah SC.

In a statement, Toffees' boss David Moyes said: “Everyone at Everton is hugely grateful for Gana’s dedication, professionalism and influence on the pitch throughout his two spells at the Club.

“His leadership qualities in and around the dressing room proved crucial, particularly in our final season at Goodison. His commitment to the Club over many years was exceptional.

“Everyone connected to Everton thanks Gana – he will always be welcome at the Club – and we wish him and his family all the very best for the future.”

Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea are in contact with Bayer Leverkusen about a potential move for winger Kerim Alajbegović.

They claim there's been no £34m bid as the Blues look to negotiate a lower transfer fee, with Italian clubs also keen on signing the Bosnian international.

Talks are ongoing between Chelsea and the Bundesliga side.

Manchester United transfer target Crysencio Summerville has completed his move from West Ham United to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

A Hammers club statement read: "West Ham United can confirm that Crysencio Summerville has completed a permanent transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

"The 24-year-old Netherlands international departs having made 56 appearances and scored eight goals for the Hammers across two seasons, after joining from Leeds United in the summer of 2024.

"West Ham United would like to thank Crysencio for his service and wish him well for the future."

The Mail claims Manchester United want to add Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams to their ranks in a deal worth £35m to complete their midfield overhaul.

Michael Carrick's side have already added Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to their ranks ahead of a return to the Champions League.

It's claimed Adams is viewed as a more obtainable midfield target for United, compared to his Cherries teammate Alex Scott.

The Athletic claims Real Madrid are working on a deal to sign Manchester City star Rodri, though club-to-club talks are yet to take place.

The World Cup winner shone on international duty with his country again and Real are understood to be confident that a deal can be struck this summer.

The 30-year-old is entering the final 12 months of his City contract, though the club are still in talks about extending his stay beyond that.

Enzo Maresca views Rodri as a key figure in the City side and Real - whose sources reportedly denied any interest in Rodri this summer - have U-turned on that stance after a brilliant World Cup.

The Daily Mail claims Enzo Maresca is considering a transfer swoop for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto this summer, amid ongoing uncertainty around his future at Stamford Bridge.

City have reportedly considered a swoop for Yan Diomande and PSG's s Ibrahim Mbaye along with other targets, with Savinho in talks to join Tottenham.

Maresca wants a replacement lined up before sanctioning a departure, with Neto a possible target, having had a good relationship with the City boss during his time at the Blues.

Union Raya relay reports from Matteo Moretto, claiming Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are competing to sign 28-year-old Rayo Vallecano full-back Andrei Ratiu.

While there have not been any club-to-club talks at this stage, it's claimed the Premier League duo are keen on signing the Romanian, who has a release clause in the region of £21.3m.

Wolves are said to have had a £15.4m bid rejected last summer and the La Liga side would not be willing to negotiate below the release clause.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to offer Viktor Gyokeres as bait to bring Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez to the Emirates Stadium this summer. Atletico have made their reluctance to sell him abundantly clear by repeatedly pointing to the huge £427million buy-out clause in his deal.

However, it is claimed the north London club want to test their stubbornness by offering Gyokeres as part of a player-plus-cash deal. The Times claim that Arsenal are keen to present the Swedish player to Diego Simeone's team as well as a transfer fee.

United bosses have invited Marcus Rashford to be part of a documentary about the club in a move which suggests they are prepared to perform a stunning U-turn and keep the outcast at Old Trafford.

Rashford has not kicked a ball in anger for United since December 2024. The Red Devils were expected to sell him to the highest bidder, with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe keen to get him off the wage bill.

But it has emerged that United executives have asked Rashford if he wants to be included in the fly-on-the-wall film the club has agreed with Amazon, in a multi-million pound deal.

Man Utd and Arsenal are among the sides reportedly monitoring Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins this summer. The Sun claim that Watkins, 30, is attracting attention from several sides both in England and across Europe.

Mikel Arteta is reportedly eyeing Watkins as a top transfer target for Arsenal amid growing interest in Gabriel Jesus. Meanwhile, United are keeping close tabs on the situation—if Joshua Zirkzee completes a rumoured return to Serie A with Juventus or Roma, United are expected to launch a formal bid for Watkins themselves.

The representative of Bruno Guimaraes, Alexis Malavolta, has shared a social media update just as Arsenal intensify their pursuit of the Newcastle United midfielder. It comes amid suggestions from London that the Gunners are preparing a £70million offer for Guimaraes.

However, sources on Tyneside insist Arsenal's chances of landing Guimaraes for anything close to £70m are a 'non‑starter.' Speculation has grown following Newcastle's capture of Aladji Bamba from Monaco, but it is not believed that the youngster has been signed as a direct successor to Guimaraes.

Our colleagues at ChronicleLivepreviously reported that neither the player nor his representatives have submitted a formal transfer request, and Guimaraes remains under contract at St James’ Park for at least another two years.

Manu Kone is keen on a move to the Premier League, according to Il Tempo. It is said to be a league that particularly fascinates the France international. Kone, however, reportedly continues to hope that Paris Saint-Germain come calling this summer.

They have yet to show any serious interest in the midfielder, though, with United remaining the frontrunners. No offer is forthcoming from Old Trafford at this stage, with Roma wanting over £40million to consider selling, as they could do with a significant sale to improve their financial situation by banking a cash influx and funding their summer transfer business.

Rangers and sides from Australia's A-League are reportedly interested in Manchester United youngster James Overy. The full-back caught United scouts' attention playing for Perth Glory's senior side in a pre-season friendly against West Ham when he was just 15.

The 18-year-old is revered for his electric pace and signed for United in the summer of 2024. The teenager stepped up to make a handful of appearances for the Under-21s last season.

Overy earned a move to United because of his performance in pre-season with Perth two years ago, and he will try to take any opportunity that comes his way this summer.

Chelsea are reportedly favourites to sign Bosnia-Herzegovina attacking midfielder Kerim Alajbegovic, 18, from Bayer Leverkusen. It is also claimed that Xabi Alonso's side are in talks with Crystal Palace to sell French centre-back Axel Disasi, 28.

It comes after Morgan Rogers joined Alonso's men from Aston Villa in a British record £117m transfer.

German giants Bayern Munich could launch a bid for PSG's Bradley Barcola if Michael Olise joins Real Madrid this summer. CF Bayern Insider say that Olise is attracting interest from Madrid, and that Bayern have Barcola on their shortlist as a potential replacement.

However, the Germans are expecting French star Olise to remain at the Allianz Arena this summer. PSG's asking price for Barcola, reportedly over £100million, is also a huge sticking point for Bayern, with the report stating that the reigning Bundesliga champions can’t be considered serious suitors for the Ligue 1 star.

Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha could be impacted by Marcus Rashford's return to Manchester United's first-team squad. It has been a frustrating summer for the Red Devils academy graduate.

The forward's dream move to Barcelona looks unlikely to materialise after the Catalan giants failed to activate a £26million clause in last season's loan agreement to secure his permanent transfer. It is understood that United are looking for alternative permanent buyers, with Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur among the sides linked.

The club are eager to clear his £325,000-a-week salary to protect their newly established wage structure. But with no permanent deal for the winger in sight, United could be forced to cut their losses and loan him out again towards the end of the window.

Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of young French midfielder Aladji Bamba from Monaco for an undisclosed fee.

Speaking after his move to St James' Park was confirmed, Bamba said: "I'm very happy to be here – it's a new challenge and I can't wait to get started. I was very excited when I heard Newcastle were interested in signing me.

"I know about the history of the club and I've visited the stadium already, which is amazing. I can't wait to be on the pitch there and hope to have some great times with the fans.

"I'm excited to test myself in a new league, the biggest league in the world. I learned a lot last season and now I feel ready for this new opportunity. I will give my all for this club."

Pep Guardiola has decided NOT to take the Italy job, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Inter Milan have held direct contact with Cristian Romero's camp about a possible move for the Tottenham defender, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Bruno Guimaraes and the midfielder is keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Arsenal and Manchester City are among the clubs in a race to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, who previously rejected a £69m bid from Liverpool for the 19-year-old, according to BILD.

Diomande starred for Leipzig last season, scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists in 36 appearances. While he was unable to replicate that form for Ivory Coast at the World Cup, he still has some potential suitors with Arsenal and City looking at him.

Former Manchester City defender John Stones and Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa are among Arsenal's targets as the Gunners turn to the England duo after William Saliba's injury, according to Sky Sports.
