Inter consider matching Tottenham's £30m Djed Spence demand as Serie A giants settle on England full-back - Goal.com
Description

Inter have identified Spence as their priority target to strengthen the wing-back position following his performances at the World Cup, as per Gazzetta. The England international caught the club's attention with his recovery pace and defensive work, reinforcing the belief that he suits the high-intensity style Inter want to play.

However, his tournament has also created concern inside the club. Inter fear Spence's growing profile could increase his transfer value and attract rival interest, prompting club president Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio to accelerate their plans.

According to the same reports, the Serie A side are now prepared to raise their offer after previously setting aside around £21 million plus bonuses for another target. Tottenham are expected to demand between £30m and £35m for the 25-year-old, with Inter willing to increase their investment.

The pursuit of Spence has the full backing of Chivu, who is reportedly enamoured by the defender's versatility. Before travelling to Germany recently, the Romanian coach held a meeting with club directors to reiterate his desire for the signing. Chivu views Spence as a player capable of featuring on both the right and left flanks, providing tactical flexibility that the current squad lacks.

Operating within the financial guidelines set by owners Oaktree, the Inter board is ready to take the "foot off the brake" regarding the transfer fee. While it is not yet an advanced negotiation, the shift in Inter's financial stance suggests they are serious about making Spence a core part of their project for the upcoming season.

Increasing the level of investment in this position is a clear signal of ambition from the Nerazzurri. After Denzel Dumfries secured a high-profile move to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, Inter have struggled to find a consistent replacement. Plans to sign Marco Palestra did not materialise as hoped, and a backup move for Anan Khalaili was tragically derailed following a medical examination that revealed a heart issue, changing the trajectory of the Israeli international's career.

Although alternatives remain under consideration, Spence is currently at the top of the shortlist. Nahuel Molina, Monaco's Vanderson and Strasbourg's Guela Doue are all being monitored should negotiations with Tottenham prove unsuccessful.

Tottenham reject Nottingham Forest bid for top candidate to replace Elliot Anderson

Tottenham reject Nottingham Forest bid for top candidate to replace Elliot Anderson - Goal.com
Description

Tottenham have held firm against Nottingham Forest’s first attempt to lure Bergvall away from north London this summer, according to The Athletic. Despite the initial rejection, Forest remain undeterred and are expected to return with a fresh proposal for the 20-year-old, who has emerged as their primary target in the current transfer window.

The interest comes as Forest look to reinvest the staggering £116million fee for Elliot Anderson’s move to Manchester City. Bergvall is viewed as the ideal replacement for England international, though Spurs are currently unwilling to sanction a deal unless their specific valuation is met for the Swedish midfielder.

Bergvall only arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024 from Djurgarden for a fee of £8.5m, but his impact was immediate. He capped off a fine debut campaign by winning the club's Player of the Year award and helping them secure the 2025 Europa League title, ending a 17-year trophy drought for the club. However, his standing in the squad has fluctuated since Roberto De Zerbi took over as head coach in March, leading to just one start under the Italian.

The midfielder is under contract until 2031, but he has already informed the Tottenham hierarchy of his desire to move on in search of a new challenge. His availability has piqued interest from across Europe, but Forest have been the first to make a concrete move to test Spurs' resolve.

The north London side have been extremely active in the market, which may explain why Bergvall feels pushed toward the exit. Spurs have spent big this summer, splashing £85m on Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and a further £100m on former Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. This influx of talent has intensified competition for places in De Zerbi’s engine room.

Meanwhile, other high-profile names could follow Bergvall out of the door. Brazilian forward Richarlison has emerged as a serious target for Juventus as the Italian giants look to revamp their attack. With several clubs interested in their fringe players, Spurs face a busy end to the window as they balance recruitment with departures.

While the chase for Bergvall continues, newly-appointed Forest boss Oliver Glasner has already successfully bolstered his midfield ranks through other avenues. The club has managed to secure a deal for Austrian international Xaver Schlager on a free transfer from RB Leipzig, reuniting him with his former Wolfsburg manager. This addition provides much-needed experience to the City Ground. However, even with Schlager on board, Forest see Bergvall as a long-term investment that would complete Glasner's midfield overhaul ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Juventus target another Tottenham star as talks begin over potential €25m Richarlison deal

Juventus target another Tottenham star as talks begin over potential €25m Richarlison deal - Goal.com
Description

The relationship between Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali and Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi is proving to be a catalyst for major transfer movement. The pair, who previously worked together at Sassuolo, have been in frequent contact recently. While initial discussions centered on other targets, Richarlison’s name has now cropped up as a genuine possibility for the Italian giants, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Richarlison is entering the final year of his contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2027. With no indication that a renewal is on the horizon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs are reportedly open to a sale before the August deadline. A fee in the region of €20m to €25m could be enough to see the former Everton man swap London for Turin.

Despite the interest in Richarlison, who netted 12 goals last season, he is currently viewed as a high-quality 'Plan B' by the Juve hierarchy. The primary focus for the Old Lady remains Randal Kolo Muani. The former Juventus and Spurs man is the top choice to lead the line, but negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain have proved difficult as the French champions hold out for a significant fee.

Carnevali has offered approximately €40m for Kolo Muani, but PSG are currently demanding €10m more to sanction a return to Italy. Should those talks collapse, Richarlison is at the top of a secondary shortlist that also includes Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth and Monaco & USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. The Brazilian's versatility across the front line makes him an attractive profile for De Zerbi’s counterparts in Italy.

The discussions between Carnevali and De Zerbi also heavily featured Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian goalkeeper is facing an uncertain future in London following the arrival of Martin Dubravka at Tottenham, and Juventus are keen to bring him back to Serie A. Vicario is seen as the leading domestic candidate to take over the gloves in Turin next season.

However, he is not the only high-profile goalkeeper on the radar. Juventus remain heavily linked with reigning world champions Emiliano Martinez, though Aston Villa have proved to be tough negotiators. Reports suggest that the goalkeeper looks to force a move to Italy after the Birmingham club publicly insisted he is staying put. Villa have reportedly set a €12m price tag on the Argentine, but Juve’s current offer of around €6.5m remains far apart from that valuation.

Juventus are clearly looking to capitalise on unsettled stars in the Premier League to bolster their squad. The pursuit of Richarlison signifies a desire for proven international experience at a cut-price fee. At 29 years old, the forward represents a different profile to their younger targets, but his work rate and tenacity are viewed as ideal traits for the Italian top flight.

While the Kolo Muani situation remains the priority for now, the coming days will be crucial in determining which direction the Bianconeri take. Whether it is a return for the Frenchman or a cut-price swoop for Tottenham’s Brazilian star, Juventus are determined to provide their fans with an attacking signing before the window shuts.

PSG set €50m demand as Man City, Tottenham and Aston Villa target wants summer transfer

PSG set €50m demand as Man City, Tottenham and Aston Villa target wants summer transfer - Goal.com
Description

Mbaye has reached a definitive conclusion regarding his future. Following a season where he was rarely utilised by the coaching staff, the 18-year-old winger has recognised that his situation is unlikely to improve in the immediate future. With PSG continuing to bolster their attacking ranks, the path to a starting spot remains heavily congested for the academy graduate.

The Senegal international is eager to secure a move that guarantees increased playing time. The young winger made 30 appearances across all competitions last season, registering 1,242 minutes of play, during which he scored three goals and provided two assists - with all of his goal contributions coming in Ligue 1. The reigning league champions are reportedly not standing in his way, acknowledging that a separation may be the best course of action for both parties, provided their financial conditions are met.

Despite being willing to facilitate a sale, PSG are not prepared to let their academy graduate leave on the cheap. The club has set a high bar for any potential suitor, with L'Équipe reporting that they are holding out for a fee between €40m and €50m to part with the youngster. This valuation reflects the two years remaining on his current contract and his status as one of the most promising talents in European football.

This stance has been communicated to all interested parties who have enquired about the player’s availability. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Borussia Dortmund have already made contact, with the journalist stating that the German side made contact in recent days.

While Dortmund are known for nurturing young talents, they face stiff competition from the English top flight. Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa have all been credited with a strong interest in securing Mbaye's services. These Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, aware that the winger's explosive pace and technical ability would suit the English game.

On the international stage, Mbaye proved his pedigree this summer during his campaign with Senegal at the World Cup. The young winger made four appearances for the Teranga Lions, notably scoring in their 3-1 defeat against France. His run with the national team eventually came to an end in the round of 32, where Senegal were eliminated following a hard-fought 3-2 loss to Belgium after extra time.

Record-breaking Seagulls! Brighton complete £46m deal for Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic

Record-breaking Seagulls! Brighton complete £46m deal for Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic - Goal.com
Description

Brighton have shattered their transfer record by securing Croatia defender Vuskovic from Tottenham on a five-year deal that includes an optional 12-month extension. The Seagulls successfully finalised the £46m transfer despite seeing two initial offers for the 19-year-old rejected last month, with the final package potentially reaching £50m through performance-related add-ons.

The teenage centre-back looks primed for an immediate first-team role, carrying impressive momentum after making his World Cup debut against England in the group stages last month.

Head coach Fabian Hurzeler welcomed the defender's arrival after the club tracked his progress extensively. The German tactician outlined his long-term plans for the teenager while simultaneously urging everyone to remain patient during the young centre-back's transition period.

Hurzeler offered a comprehensive assessment regarding the youngster's integration into the Seagulls' squad. On the club's official website, he said: "Last season he demonstrated he can play at a very high level and we want to help him build on that within our environment.

"There's been a lot of external noise about Luka joining us, but he is still a young guy who will need time to adjust to the demands of playing for Brighton and the Premier League. We are confident that he will take this in his stride though."

Brighton's aggressive move in the transfer market serves to plug the defensive void left by Jan Paul van Hecke, who moved in the opposite direction to Spurs for £52m. Vuskovic arrives with a burgeoning reputation as a prolific modern defender, having netted six goals in 30 appearances during a loan spell with Hamburg last season. His stellar Bundesliga displays earned him the Rookie of the Season award alongside a spot in the Team of the Year.
