Reports from Sky Sports Italy indicate that Spurs submitted a \u20ac40 million offer for Como&#8217;s <strong>Nico Paz<\/strong>, but this was entirely dismissed. The 20-year-old, who joined Como from Real Madrid last year, was named the best under-23 player in Serie A last season, and Como has stated they will entertain offers starting at \u20ac60 million. Real Madrid retains a 50% option to re-sign the midfielder. Meanwhile, Spurs recently lost another attacking option, <strong>Son Heung-min<\/strong>, who joined LAFC on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, AC Milan is taking its time with potential moves for strikers like Manchester United&#8217;s <strong>Rasmush\u00f8jlund<\/strong> and Juventus&#8217; <strong>Dusan Vlahovic<\/strong>. With RB Leipzig&#8217;s <strong>Benjamin Sesko<\/strong> reportedly signed by United and <em>Bianconeri<\/em> also interested in Canada Internationals <strong>Jonathan David<\/strong>, Milan recognizes that clubs in need of a striker will eventually lower their asking prices. The high wages of Serbian forwards make Vlahovic&#8217;s transfer more difficult than that of Hojlund&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editors_Pick\"><\/span>Editor&#8217;s Pick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8211; Newcastle United might face challenges in the transfer market, as AC Milan is reportedly rejecting \u20ac30 million offers for central defender <strong>Marick Chio<\/strong>, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. Como has already accepted offers this window, but the Germany international has turned them down. However, Milan has opted to keep the player and is likely to sell others, including <strong>Wide Range<\/strong> (to Nottingham Forest) or <strong>Yunus<\/strong> (to Fulham). Adding to their woes, L\u2019\u00e9quipe links Al Nassr, which has the same PIF ownership as Newcastle, to another target <strong>Yoan<\/strong>.

Lookman is creating tension by not attending preseason training in hopes of forcing a move to Sansilo, while Inter plans to make a third offer of \u20ac45 million for the Nigerian international.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nottingham Forest&#8217;s \u00a335 million bid for <strong>Omari Hutchinson<\/strong> was rejected by Ipswich, as revealed by Athletic. Brentford has also re-entered the hunt for the England Under-21 international after a previous rejection, but discussions between the two clubs are said to be ongoing. This summer, Forest aims to bolster their attack, focusing on <strong>Anthony Luna<\/strong> from Newcastle. Hutchinson, capable of playing as a winger or attacking midfielder, scored three goals in his debut season in the Premier League. Gazetta Dello Sport also mentions that Forest is closing in on Juventus midfielder <strong>Douglas Luiz<\/strong>, with Everton also considering the former Aston Villa player.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirmed_Transfers\"><\/span>Confirmed Transfers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; LAFC confirmed on Wednesday that Tottenham Hotspur legend <strong>Son Heung-min<\/strong> has moved to MLS. <strong>read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bayern Munich and German icon <strong>Thomas M\u00fcller<\/strong> have completed his transfer to the Vancouver Whitecaps on a free transfer. <strong>read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Goalkeeper <strong>Martin Dubravka<\/strong> has departed Newcastle United for Burnley for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n<div data-behavior=\"video_scroll\" class=\"contentItem__content contentItem__content--media-card contentItem__content--fullWidth contentItem__content--inline\">\n<figure data-video=\"watch,640,360,45918703\" data-cerebro-id=\"68947daa352b5449da0a843e\" data-title=\"Hislop: Newcastle shouldn't move for Nicolas Jackson\" class=\"media-wrapper_image video\" data-source=\"espn\">\n<picture class=\"media-wrapper_image\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0807%2Fdm_250807_COM_SOC_Analysis_Hislop3A_Newcastle_shouldnE28099t_move_for_Nicolas_Jackson_GLOBAL_2025%2D08%2D07%2Fdm_250807_COM_SOC_Analysis_Hislop3A_Newcastle_shouldnE28099t_move_for_Nicolas_Jackson_GLOBAL_2025%2D08%2D07.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;h=360&amp;cquality=80&amp;format=jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0807%2Fdm_250807_COM_SOC_Analysis_Hislop3A_Newcastle_shouldnE28099t_move_for_Nicolas_Jackson_GLOBAL_2025%2D08%2D07%2Fdm_250807_COM_SOC_Analysis_Hislop3A_Newcastle_shouldnE28099t_move_for_Nicolas_Jackson_GLOBAL_2025%2D08%2D07.jpg&amp;w=335&amp;cquality=80, https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0807%2Fdm_250807_COM_SOC_Analysis_Hislop3A_Newcastle_shouldnE28099t_move_for_Nicolas_Jackson_GLOBAL_2025%2D08%2D07.jpg&amp;w=670&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img class=\"lazyload lazyload\"><\/source><\/source>\n<\/picture>\n<span class=\"video-play-button\" data-id=\"45918703\">play<\/span><figcaption class=\"media-caption\">\n<p>0:57<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"contentItem__contentWrapper\">\n<p>Hislop: Newcastle shouldn&#8217;t move for Nicholas Jackson<\/p>\n<p class=\"contentItem__subhead\">Shaka Hislop believes Newcastle should not pursue Nicolas Jackson after it seems he has eluded Benjamin Sesko to join Manchester United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Rumors\"><\/span>Additional Rumors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Lucas Chevalier<\/strong> is set to join Lille from Paris Saint-Germain for \u20ac55 million, including bonuses.
