This follows Manchester United&#8217;s interest in Italy&#8217;s No. 1, whose contract ends this season. Galatasaray has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Ederson and submitted a \u20ac3 million offer. Earlier reports indicated Chelsea&#8217;s interest as well. PSG is expected to accept a \u00a326 million bid to offload Donnarumma after acquiring new No. 1 <strong>Lucas Chevalier<\/strong>. He would prefer a move to the Premier League. Although Man City recently re-signed <strong>James Trafford<\/strong> from Burnley, the situation may have changed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tottenham Hotspur is looking to compete with Arsenal for Crystal Palace&#8217;s midfielder <strong>Eze<\/strong>, as reported by the Daily Mail. Spurs have shown interest in the 27-year-old English international, while also pursuing wingers <strong>Survine<\/strong> from Manchester City. Eze has a release clause for \u00a368 million, but it expires two weeks before the summer transfer window closes. Arsenal is also keen but must move players first to finalize the deal.<\/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; Five Italian clubs are monitoring Manchester United forward <strong>Rasmush\u00f8jlund<\/strong>, including Internazionale, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, and AC Milan. The 22-year-old Danish international may be available for \u00a340 million after the Red Devils signed <strong>Benjamin Sesco<\/strong> from RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Roma has made inquiries about Manchester United winger <strong>Jadon Sancho<\/strong>, according to Nicolo Shira. The Serie A side has been told they need to present a bid between \u20ac20 million and \u20ac25 million to secure the 25-year-old, who scored seven goals in 31 Premier League appearances during his loan at Chelsea last season. Juventus is also interested but will approach only after offloading Nico Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Liverpool has shown increased interest in Palma defender <strong>Giovanni Li<\/strong>, per Florian Plettenberg. The 18-year-old is regarded as a secondary option for the Reds as they search for center-backs and could &#8220;seriously consider&#8221; an offer if they cannot secure Crystal Palace&#8217;s <strong>Mark Gaehe<\/strong>. Several Serie A clubs, including AC Milan and Internazionale, are also keen after Li&#8217;s impressive performances last season.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expert_Analysis\"><\/span>Expert Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div data-behavior=\"video_scroll\" class=\"contentItem__content contentItem__content--media-card contentItem__content--fullWidth contentItem__content--inline\">\n<figure data-video=\"watch,640,360,45942708\" data-cerebro-id=\"6899c4e4f8047a101335b142\" data-title=\"Laurens: PSG wants Donnarumma to leave\" class=\"media-wrapper_image video\" data-source=\"espn\">\n      <picture class=\"media-wrapper_image\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0811%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;h=360&amp;cquality=80&amp;format=jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0811%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL.jpg&amp;w=335&amp;cquality=80, https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0811%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL%2Fdm_250811_COM_SOC_Analysis_Laurens_PSG_want_Donnarumma_to_leave_20250811_GLOBAL.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=\"45942708\">play<\/span><figcaption class=\"media-caption\">\n<p>1:57<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"contentItem__contentWrapper\">\n<p>Laurens: PSG wants Donnarumma to leave<\/p>\n<p class=\"contentItem__subhead\">Gab &#038; Juls debate Gianluigi Donnarumma&#8217;s future at Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirmed_Transfers\"><\/span>Confirmed Transfers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; Bournemouth defender <strong>Illia Zabarnyi<\/strong> has completed a move to Paris Saint-Germain, with the deal worth up to \u00a357.1 million. <strong>Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sunderland has officially signed Paraguayan defender <strong>Omar Aldere<\/strong> from Getafe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Rumors\"><\/span>Additional Rumors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; Bayern Munich has made Chelsea <strong>Christopher Nkunku<\/strong> their top candidate to replace Al Nassr-bound <strong>Kingsley Coman<\/strong>.
