Al Hilal have reportedly made an offer for Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva.
The Saudi Pro League side are keen to splash the cash this summer and remain locked in talks with Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
According to Foot Mercato, Silva is also admired and they hope to lure him away from the Etihad Stadium, having tracked his situation closely for the past few months.
Al Hilal have already tabled an offer for the Portuguese international, though it remains to be seen whether the playmaker is open to the approach.
Liverpool have taken the ‘first steps’ towards signing Sporting star Ousmane Diomande, reports A Bola.
The Reds are reportedly keen to acquire the services of the centre-back, but face stiff competition from several Premier League rivals, such as Arsenal and Manchester United.
With Newcastle pushing to sign Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace are also firmly in the race to sign the Ivorian defender – who is valued at £50million.
Newcastle are reportedly plotting a loan move for Manchester City forward Jack Grealish, who has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium and likely to depart this summer.
According to The Sun, Newcastle will ‘try to rescue’ Grealish, but they are only willing to make an approach for the 29-year-old if City are willing to entertain loan offers.
Any loan deal could centre around fees involved, and Newcastle may reportedly look to strike a deal by offering to pay all of Grealish’s monstrous £300,000-a-weel wages and not pay any fee to acquire his services.
City could even look to contribute to their forward’s wages as part of an agreement too.
Chelsea submitted a bid for Borussia Dortmund forward Jamie Gittens earlier this weekend.
However, Fabrizio Romano reports that the £29.5million offer has now been rejected.
The Blues remain keen to sign the winger and are preparing an ‘improved bid’ which will include new add-ons in the hope of striking a deal with Dortmund. Gittens is also hopeful that an agreement can be reached as he is keen to join Chelsea.
Chelsea have reportedly submitted a bid for AC Milan’s Mike Maignan.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the Blues have offered £12.6million (€15m) to sign the goalkeeper, who is said to be keen to join Enzo Maresca’s side.
Maignan is approaching the final 12 months of his contract at the San Siro, and Chelsea are hoping to capitalise and acquire his services before the Club World Cup gets underway.
Manchester United have been joined by Tottenham in the race to sign Bryan Mbeumo, reports The Sun.
The Red Devils have been pushing to strike a deal with Brentford this week, but Spurs are now poised to hijack the deal.
Tottenham are also pushing to appoint Brentford manager Thomas Frank after sacking Ange Postecoglou, and they are hopeful that uniting with the Danish boss in north London could ‘sway’ the deal in their favour.
