The overall package being discussed is nearing \u20ac150 million, including potential bonuses, with personal terms agreed upon by Wirtz and the Reds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AC Milan has reportedly been informed that <b>Rafael Le\u00e3o<\/b>, according to Sky Sports Germany&#8217;s Florian Plettenberg, wishes to leave the club this summer. The Rossoneri will demand a minimum transfer fee of \u20ac70 million. The 25-year-old Portuguese international is on Bayern Munich&#8217;s radar, but formal discussions are yet to commence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sky Sports Italy notes that Al Giral has reached an agreement for <b>Victor Osimhen<\/b>; however, their \u20ac70 million offer falls \u20ac5 million short of Napoli&#8217;s asking price. Additionally, Calciomercato mentions that Simone Inzaghi, the new manager of the Saudi Arabian club, has directly contacted AC Milan regarding <b>Theo Hern\u00e1ndez<\/b>, but the 27-year-old needs time to consider.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fenerbahce is reportedly willing to offer <b>Leroy Sane<\/b> a net salary of \u20ac15 million, as per Sky Sports Germany&#8217;s Florian Plettenberg, while Bayern Munich&#8217;s winger is set to become a free agent at the end of the month. Galatasaray has also made offers in the range of \u20ac10 million to \u20ac12 million, but Arsenal and clubs in the Saudi league are still in contention, as Bayern hopes to extend the 29-year-old\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Reports indicate that AC Milan defender <b>Fikayo Tomori<\/b> has been in Naples recently, according to Matteo Moretto, raising questions about the 27-year-old&#8217;s future at San Siro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Newcastle United has reached out to Nottingham Forest regarding <b>Anthony Elanga<\/b>.
