TRENDING RUMORS

- Newcastle are discussing a move for Roma striker Artem Dovbyk, reports The Sun. Negotiations are ongoing regarding an initial loan move for the 28-year-old that would include an option to be made permanent for a fee in the region of £30 million. After completing the blockbuster signing of Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart on Saturday, Ukraine international Dovbyk would be the Magpies' second forward signing of the summer, which would open up the door to Alexander Isak potentially completing his switch to Liverpool.

- Multiple clubs are interested in Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong, says The Guardian. Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and AFC Bournemouth are all said to be looking at the 19-year-old, with the Bundesliga champions considering a late approach in the window to sign him on loan with an obligation to become permanent. Acheampong was a standout performer for the Blues in their 0-0 opening day draw with Crystal Palace, and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy are expected to ward off interest in him.

- Fenerbahce have joined the race to sign Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, reports Fabrizio Romano. They are set to challenge their rivals Galatasaray for the 32-year-old, after City turned down a €10m offer from the Turkish giants. The Premier League club are willing to call time on Ederson's eight-year spell at the Etihad Stadium, with Paris Saint-Germain and Italy international shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma lined up as a replacement. According to Nicolo Schira, Donnarumma has agreed terms to a five-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2030.

- A move for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is being considered by AC Milan, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The Rossoneri are reported to be keen to reinforce manager Massimiliano Allegri's defence before the transfer window closes but, after stalling in their pursuit of Manchester City's Manuel Akanji, they are now exploring alternatives, with Gomez, 28, one of the names on their radar. However, The Mirror reports that the Reds would have no interest in parting ways with Gomez, who is also wanted by Crystal Palace as a potential replacement for Marc Guéhi, with manager Arne Slot determined to keep hold of him due to his versatility.

- Juventus and clubs in the Premier League are keeping tabs on the situation of RB Leipzig striker Loïs Openda, according to Philipp Hinze. The Bianconeri are "seriously interested" in landing the 25-year-old ahead of the transfer window deadline. The Bundesliga club are expected to demand in excess of €40m, but they would also be open to a loan deal that includes a mandatory permanent clause. Openda, a Belgium international, directly contributed to 14 goals in 33 league matches last season.

- Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui has been added to the shortlist of Serie A side Juventus, says Gazzetta dello Sport. The 27-year-old has been identified as an alternative to Atlético Madrid's Nahuel Molina, and they are set to make an approach to sign him from Old Trafford on loan. Mazraoui made his first appearance of the season on Saturday when coming on as a substitute during the 3-2 Premier League victory over Burnley.

- Nottingham Forest have made an offer to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Lee Kang-In, reports L'Equipe. The proposal is believed to be worth an initial €30m that could become €60m if conditions are met. However, it is reported that PSG would prefer to keep hold of the 24-year-old South Korea international, who remains contracted at the Parc des Princes until the summer of 2028. Fulham, Napoli, and AC Milan are also interested in a move for him.
