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.

Premier League clubs line up for Omar Marmoush as Man City exit nears

Premier League clubs line up for Omar Marmoush as Man City exit nears - Goal.com
Description

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham and Newcastle are both showing significant interest in City's 27-year-old Egypt forward as the summer transfer window heats up. Marmoush has emerged as one of the more intriguing names to watch before the window closes, having seen his stock remain high despite a lack of regular minutes at the Etihad.

Both Premier League rivals are looking to bolster their attacking options and have reportedly made enquiries about the forward.

However, sources close to Marmoush indicate that he is keen to know exactly what role he will play in City's new manager Enzo Maresca's plans before making his decision about moving to another club or staying at Al-Ittihad.

Marmoush joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 and initially made an encouraging impression following his arrival.

However, opportunities became increasingly limited under Pep Guardiola. If Maresca signals Marmoush will have a prominent role, the Egyptian is open to staying and fighting for his place.

The 27-year-old started just eight Premier League matches last season and spent much of the campaign among the substitutes, prompting a number of clubs to begin monitoring his situation. However, should it become apparent that regular opportunities will again be difficult to come by, his camp are prepared to explore the growing interest from England and abroad.

TEAMtalk reveals that Tottenham and Newcastle have both made enquiries about the versatile forward, while there is also significant interest from several Bundesliga clubs, who are keen to bring Marmoush back to Germany.

Tottenham remain keen to strengthen in attack and are tracking Marmoush’s situation, while also retaining an interest in his Man City teammate Savinho.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have funds to play with following the £100million (including add-ons) sale of Sandro Tonali to Spurs. They are also in the market for attacking reinforcements after Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa both failed to make the expected impact last season. Marmoush’s ability to play as a striker, second striker or winger are viewed as major positives by Tottenham and Newcastle.

His performances for Eintracht Frankfurt prior to joining City ensured he retained a strong reputation in the Bundesliga, and sources indicate multiple German sides would be interested if he became available.

With his future up in the air and Maresca’s decision looming, the two Premier League sides are poised to strike. Whether he remains in Manchester to fight for his spot or seeks a fresh start elsewhere in the Premier League, Marmoush's next move will be one of the final talking points of the current window.

Cristiano Ronaldo promised ‘fun’ & trophy challenges as ex-Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou explains why he has taken over at Saudi Pro League champions Al-Nassr

Description

Postecoglou has expressed his excitement at taking the reins at Al-Nassr, citing his career-long desire to test himself in new environments as the primary driver behind his move to the Middle East. After signing a two-year contract with the Riyadh-based giants, the 60-year-old manager was preferred over other high-level candidates such as Roberto Martinez to lead the club’s next chapter.

“I think the most important thing for me is during my whole career, I've enjoyed taking on new challenges, new competitions, working with different people and growing from that. So, it's another opportunity for me to test myself in a new environment and new country with a new team,” Postecoglou told the club's media.

He noted that while he has taken over struggling clubs in the past, he is now relishing the opportunity to maintain the momentum of a successful side.

One of the most significant aspects of Postecoglou's new role is working with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo. The Australian is keen to bring an entertaining brand of football to Al-Awwal Park while navigating a league that has seen a massive influx of talent and competitive depth over the last two years.

He added: “I have a lot of ambition too, so I'm glad the club has - that's why I'm here. I've worked a lot through Asia and come from this part of the world. And even when I was in Europe, I always said to people that all the success I've had has been harder; just because it is in Asia doesn't mean it's easy. I know how difficult it is every competition, the challenges. You look at the Saudi league and how much it's grown in the last few years and now there's four, five, six clubs that all are very, very competitive and want to win. Champions League Elite is very, very challenging.”

Postecoglou arrives at a club that is currently at the summit of Saudi football following their first league title in seven years. He was quick to praise his predecessor, Jesus, but insisted that his focus is on pushing the club even further during the 2026-27 campaign.

“Mr. Jesus did an outstanding job last year to win the championship and now the club is ready to go to the next level, and that's why I'm here. Every year is new. I've had a lot of success in my career, but every new year I start with the same thought in my head: I want this year to be the best ever.”

Addressing his reputation for delivering silverware, Postecoglou clarified past comments regarding his success in his second seasons at clubs. He pointed to his immediate impact at Celtic to prove that his desire to win is not limited to a specific timeframe, emphasising that the style of play is just as important as the result.

He concluded: “For me, it doesn't matter, first year, second year, third year. Every year I coach, I want to win things. But it's not just about winning; it's about how you win, how you play your football. That is also very important to me. I’m super excited to be here. It's a privilege and an honour for me to coach such a big club, and we'll have some fun this year. We will make an impact. We'll try and be as successful as possible and we'll do it in a way that everyone enjoys.”
