Fenerbahçe are in the final stages of concluding a permanent deal for Milan Škriniar from Paris Saint‑Germain. Negotiations are focused on an agreement worth around €10 million, with PSG expected to give the green light soon and allow Škriniar to travel to Istanbul this week.

The Slovak centre‑back, who previously joined Fenerbahçe on loan, has reportedly accepted personal terms and is assessing the club’s offer of a €6 million annual salary. The final steps include securing PSG’s official transfer authorisation and completing any outstanding medical formalities.

Despite Liverpool’s Premier League title win, Federico Chiesa remains on the fringes at Anfield with limited playing time under Arne Slot during the 2024–25 season. Fabrizio Romano reports Chiesa wants to return to Serie A, his preferred destination as Italy’s head coach Luciano Spalletti openly supports the idea to help him secure more regular football ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Napoli and AC Milan are reportedly the most concrete options, while Roma and Inter remain interested. Liverpool are unlikely to block a move if a viable proposal arrives, given Chiesa’s quest for minutes and national team ambitions.

Bayern Munich are set to complete the signing of winger Luis Díaz from Liverpool after agreeing a deal reportedly worth around €75 million (£65.5 m), including add-ons. Díaz is expected to arrive in Munich later today and is scheduled to undergo a medical on Tuesday, with personal terms covering a four-year contract until 2029 and an annual wage around €14 million, per BILD and Sky Sports. Liverpool have granted permission for him to leave the Asia tour early amid increasing transfer speculation.

João Félix has officially agreed a permanent move from Chelsea to Al Nassr, with all documents signed and the player authorised to travel for his medical, expected to be completed later today. The two-year deal reportedly includes a €30 million upfront payment plus performance-based add-ons and a sell-on clause, potentially taking the total value to €50 million [Sports Mole].

After rejecting a return to Benfica, Félix has embraced this move, citing the opportunity to join a “historic, massive club” alongside compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chelsea are pressing ahead with plans to sign two Dutch talents. The club have reached agreement on personal terms with Jorrel Hato, while negotiations with Ajax for a transfer fee remain ongoing and expected to settle around €40–50 million.

Meanwhile, Xavi Simons has also agreed personal terms with Chelsea and a formal bid is expected soon, even as Bayern Munich and Arsenal monitor the situation closely. Talks with RB Leipzig are advancing, and a deal is considered likely in the near future given the player’s preference for a move to the Premier League.

Everton have reached a full agreement with FC Bayern Munich to sign left-back Adam Aznou for a guaranteed €9 million, rising to €12 million with performance-based add-ons. The 19-year-old Moroccan defender is completing his medical today, having accepted Everton’s project and personal terms.

Bayern have secured future matching rights to the player, allowing them to match future offers if needed. The transfer fills Everton’s urgent need at left-back amid a defensive shortage, and is expected to close within the next 48 hours.

Granit Xhaka will reunite with the Premier League after agreeing to join Sunderland on a two- or three-year deal through 2027 or 2028. Sunderland have reportedly agreed a €20 million transfer fee with Bayer Leverkusen, including €5 million in add‑on clauses.

The Switzerland captain has been granted permission to fly to England and undergo his medical today. Despite initial resistance from Leverkusen’s manager Erik ten Hag, the move gained momentum over the weekend, with Leverkusen ultimately consenting to the transfer after negotiations intensified.

Newcastle United have opened negotiations with Southampton to sign goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a loan deal that includes a buy option, according to Fabrizio Romano. The north-east club are proposing a £5 million loan fee, with all of the player’s wages covered, a structure influenced by Ramsdale’s annual salary of around £100,000 per week and Southampton’s relegation wage concerns.

Saints are open to the deal but are reportedly seeking a higher fee or permanent transfer to recoup more of their investment after relegation. Ramsdale is understood to be keen to return to Premier League football and push for a spot in England’s World Cup squad.

Jacobo Ramón has completed his permanent transfer from Real Madrid Castilla to Como 1907, with the deal reportedly worth €2.5 million plus performance-related add-ons. Real Madrid will retain 50% of his economic rights and have structured three buy‑back options over the next three seasons, in line with their academy exit strategy used in cases like Nico Paz.

The 20-year-old centre-back who made six first-team appearances for Real Madrid and scored his debut goal against Mallorca in May is expected to join Como immediately to continue his development under Cesc Fàbregas.

Nottingham Forest have reached a verbal agreement with Bologna for Swiss winger Dan Ndoye, with a transfer fee reportedly around €40 million plus add‑ons. The player has already agreed personal terms on a long-term contract and is set to travel to England within 24 hours to complete a medical.

Ndoye was identified as the club’s top priority following Anthony Elanga’s departure, and Forest have reportedly elevated their offer to meet Bologna’s asking price after initial bids were rejected. Napoli remain in the race, but Forest are seen as favorites given the player’s willingness to move.

AS Roma have confirmed the signing of 22‑year‑old Italian centre-back Daniele Ghilardi from Hellas Verona. The deal includes an initial fee of €10 million, potentially rising with bonuses, and Roma have negotiated three buy‑back options and a 50% sell‑on clause for the future.

Ghilardi has agreed personal terms and is scheduled to fly to Rome for a medical this week. Roma beat interest from Real Betis and Atalanta to secure the Italy U‑21 international’s commitment.

AS Roma have officially completed the signing of Brazilian right-back Wesley from Flamengo. The five-year contract, running until 2030, comes with an upfront fee of €25 million, rising to €30 million with performance-based bonuses. Flamengo negotiated a 50 percent sell-on clause and delayed the transfer until a replacement was identified. Roma’s coach Gian Piero Gasperini has made the 21-year-old a strategic target for the right flank. Wesley arrives in Rome this week, set to wear jersey number 43, becoming the club’s 46th Brazilian international.
