Today's biggest transfer stories

PSG could reportedly move for Ferran Torres this summer. The Spanish international only has one year left on his contract at Barcelona and they need to pay Manchester City €8 million. if they extend it. Barca are keen to avoid this with PSG interested.

Michael Olise remains Real Madrid's dream signing this summer but they are unlikely to submit an offer this summer. Bayern Munich don't want to sell their prized asset and it will be near impossible to extract him from the Bundesliga giants.

Inter Milan are considering a move for Djed Spence. The full-back has impressed at the World Cup with England but it's unclear whether he features in Roberto De Zebri's plans at Tottenham.

2nd most valuable U21 CB - Luka Vuskovic joins Brighton from Tottenham in club record deal - Transfermarkt
Description

Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur in a club record deal. The hugely talented centre-back pushed for a move to the Seagulls and they've cured his signature for €54m, with a further €4.7m in potential add-ons and a sell-on clause inserted. The 19-year-old is widely viewed as one of the best young defenders in Europe after his reputation soared during an excellent loan spell at Hamburg last season.

Vuskovic made 28 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring six goals as Hamburg avoided relegation after their promotion. It was widely expected that Vuskovic would play an important role for Tottenham next season, but manager Roberto De Zerbi reportedly did not see him as a firs-choice option. It’s understood that the Croat wanted to join Brighton, where he’s guaranteed first-team football and he has a good relationship with Fabian Hürzeler. Speaking on the deal, the Croat said: "It was always Brighton."

Luka Vuskovic: Incredible rise across last season

At the start of last season Vuskovic’s market value stood at just €12m but it skyrocketed by +€48m during his season in Germany to his current valuation of €60m. Only nine players had a bigger increase in market value last season with fellow Bundesliga star Yan Diomande topping the list at +€88.5m.

Moreover, Vuskovic had the second highest rise in market value of any defender in the world and the teenager is currently the joint-second most valuable U21 centre-back on the planet. His €60m market value is level with Dean Huijsen but Vuskovic is ranked higher than the Real Madrid star due to being younger, which is Transfermarkt policy. Barcelona star Pau Cubarsi takes top spot with the Spanish defender valued at €80m.

Today's biggest transfer stories

Inter Milan are preparing another bid for Curtis Jones. Liverpool have already rebuffed an opening offer for around €25m for the midfielder but Jones is expected to depart Anfield with his contract expiring in 2027.

Roma are currently the leading candidates to sign Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger is not part of Xabi Alonso's plans with Chelsea setting a price tag of €50m, which will be prohibitive for Roma but a loan deal remains possible.

Tottenham and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Omar Marmoush. The 27-year-old has struggled since moving to Manchester City from the Bundesliga and Enzo Maresca's men will entertain offers this summer.
