The summer transfer window has opened, and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is at the center of attention. Despite interest from Chelsea, it is reported that Osimhen would prefer a move to Paris Saint-Germain. While Chelsea is seeking to strike a deal for the 26-year-old Nigerian forward, Osimhen is not pushing for a move to the Premier League, giving PSG an edge in the race for his signature. Arsenal have also shown interest in Osimhen, but it is unclear if they are still pursuing a deal. However, PSG’s current roster situation with Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos may hinder Osimhen’s desired move to the French capital.
Napoli has initiated talks with Manchester United over a potential deal for midfielder Scott McTominay. While United is demanding a fee between £25 million and £30 million, Napoli would prefer a loan arrangement for the Scotland international. The Red Devils’ manager Erik ten Hag has expressed a desire to keep McTominay, but reports suggest that the player could leave if he asks to do so. Fulham has also shown interest in acquiring McTominay’s services, adding another layer of complexity to his potential transfer.
Crystal Palace has set a hefty price tag of £75 million for defender Marc Guéhi. Following a strong showing in the UEFA European Championship with England, Guéhi has caught the eye of Newcastle United and Liverpool. Newcastle views Guéhi as a top target, but their reported offer of £55 million falls short of Palace’s valuation. The south London club is adamant about retaining key players after losing Michael Olise earlier in the transfer window, making negotiations for Guéhi more challenging.
Sporting CP is eager to secure a deal for Barcelona forward Vitor Roque. The 19-year-old struggled to make an impact at the Spanish club and is deemed surplus to requirements as Barcelona looks to balance their books. Roque has attracted interest from several clubs, but Sporting views him as a priority signing. An official approach is expected from the Portuguese side as they look to finalize a deal for the promising striker.
Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie has turned down a potential move to Galatasaray. Despite an intermediary reaching out to the United States international, McKennie has rejected the opportunity. Juventus is keen on offloading the 25-year-old playmaker, as he is not part of head coach Thiago Motta’s plans. McKennie’s decision adds another twist to Juventus’ transfer dealings this summer.
AC Milan has made a fresh approach for AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana. The Italian giants have tabled an offer of €20 million plus additional fees, but Monaco is holding out for €25 million. Negotiations are ongoing, with Fofana reportedly pushing for the move. While a deal has not been finalized yet, the potential transfer could come to fruition in the upcoming days, creating anticipation among fans and pundits alike.
