The summer transfer window has brought new speculation surrounding João Félix’s future, with reports suggesting ongoing discussions between Chelsea and Atlético Madrid. Sky Sports Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenberg has revealed that the Portuguese international is open to a return to Stamford Bridge, following a loan spell in 2023. Super-agent Jorge Mendes is actively involved in negotiations, but the deal is described as “difficult” with more steps to be taken. Félix’s preference for Chelsea over Aston Villa is seen as a key factor in this potential transfer.
Another player on Chelsea’s radar is Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to Fabrizio Romano. Despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise, the Blues have maintained their interest in the Nigerian forward. However, Osimhen’s desire for a permanent move without a salary reduction could complicate matters. Napoli, on the other hand, are looking to replace him with Romelu Lukaku, who has returned to Chelsea from AS Roma.
Speculation surrounding Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United continues to swirl, with reports indicating his desire to join Paris Saint-Germain. The 24-year-old winger is linked with a potential exit from Old Trafford, but United are reportedly seeking a fee above €60 million for his services. Talks between PSG and United over another player, Manuel Ugarte, could potentially impact negotiations for Sancho’s transfer.
PSV Eindhoven has withdrawn from the race to sign Liverpool’s Sepp van den Berg due to the Premier League club’s valuation of the player. Despite reported interest from multiple clubs in Europe, PSV will now shift their focus to alternative defensive targets, with Adamo Nagalo from FC Nordsjælland being considered as a potential option.
Juventus is reportedly in talks with FC Porto for winger Francisco Conceição, while also negotiating a deal for Nicolás González from Fiorentina. The Serie A club is looking to bolster its attacking options with the addition of two wingers. Personal terms have been agreed for Conceição, but a fee agreement between Juventus and Porto is still pending, ruling out the possibility of a loan deal.
Argentine club Talleres and Nottingham Forest are progressing in talks regarding the potential transfer of winger Ramón Sosa. The Paraguay international, who featured at the Copa América tournament this summer, is close to securing a move to the East Midlands club for a reported fee of £12m. Sosa’s versatility and international experience make him an attractive prospect for Forest.
