Rumored Transfers
– Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich look set to pursue Chelsea’s Nicholas Jackson. The 24-year-old striker is expected to depart Stamford Bridge this summer, with a transfer fee likely around £50 million. Fabrizio Romano indicates Jackson could be part of a potential exchange involving Brazilian international Richarlison, particularly if he decides to leave Tottenham. Sky Germany also mentions interests growing, especially after Newcastle opted against signing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Bayern is also keen on Harry Kane and reports suggest that multiple Italian clubs have contacted Jackson.
– PSV’s Ricardo Pepi is emerging as a top candidate to replace Sesko at RB Leipzig, as revealed by Footmercato. The USMNT forward previously drew interest with Fulham bidding €30 million. Leipzig will likely need to increase their offer to sign Pepi, who netted 18 goals in 29 Eredivisie matches last season, and is viewed as a valuable asset by PSV. Other potential transfer targets include Malik Tillman, Johann Baiyoko, and Noah Lang since the window opened last month.
– Arsenal is reportedly monitoring Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman as Crystal Palace’s midfielder Back seat finds new prospects failing to materialize. The 27-year-old Lookman attracted significant attention from Inter Milan but saw two offers turned down, with Atalanta seeking €50 million. Now, Arsenal is prepared to step in, with both Napoli and Atletico Madrid watching the situation closely.
– Chelsea might re-enter the contention to sign Crystal Palace defender Mark Guéhi, especially given Levi Colwill’s recent injury issues. According to The Daily Express, Guéhi has been linked to Liverpool and is likely available for £40 million as he enters the final year of his contract at Palace. There’s potential for Chelsea to “rekindle” their interest in the England international, who previously left Stamford Bridge in 2021.
– Liverpool has its eyes set on Palma defender Giovanni Leoni, as per Florian Plettenberg. The highly-rated 18-year-old is being sought after, particularly after red center market signing Jarrell Quansa moved to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. Leoni could be a less expensive option than Guéhi, who Liverpool is also monitoring.
