Transfer news & rumours LIVE: Liverpool strike Giovanni Leoni deal but Marc Guehi set for Crystal Palace stay

Chelsea's stance on replacing Jackson revealed

According to The Daily Mail, the Blues are in no hurry to offload their out-of-favour striker Jackson in this window. Chelsea have a set squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and are not planning to buy another forward, even if Jackson decides to move out. The 24-year-old forward was kept away from the club's matchday squads during the pre-season friendlies against AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen last week, as he trained alone at Cobham. Although Jackson was not part of the team's 'bomb squad' featuring stars like Raheem Sterling, Renato Veiga, Carney Chukwuemeka, Alfie Gilchrist, David Datro Fofana and others.

Man Utd & Chelsea struggling to bridge gap in Garnacho talks

Per The Telegraph, Manchester United and Chelsea remain locked in talks over a deal for Garnacho, but there is a significant gap in the two clubs' valuations of the player. Chelsea would like to pay £30 million ($41m)  for the Argentina international, but United want closer to £50m ($68m). Bayer Leverkusen made a bid worth around £30m in January, which was rejected.

Why Guehi is set to STAY at Palace despite Liverpool interest

According to The Sun's Jack Rosser, Liverpool might not land their key transfer target in this summer's window as Marc Guehi may well stay put at Selhurst Park. The journalist claims that the Reds are yet to negotiate a valuation of the defender with Crystal Palace and the delay is proving to be a hindrance in completing the deal. Guehi is also worried about regular game time at Anfield, which is a major concern for the defender, less than a year before the 2026 World Cup.

Bayern chief provides update on Jackson as they return for Nkunku

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has ruled out the chances of signing  Nicolas Jackson, while the Bavarian giants remain keen on signing Christopher Nkunku, according to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg. Jackson has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, following the additions of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap to the Blues' attack, which will limit Jackson's game time.

Liverpool close to signing Leoni

Per Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have agreed on a deal with Parma to sign 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni for a fee of €35 million. The deal will include a sell-on clause as agreed by both clubs. Arne Slot sees the young defender as a long-term replacement for captain Virgil van Dijk.

Roma set to beat Borussia Dortmund to Wolves forward

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Serie A side have offered the 23-year-old a five-year contract worth €2.5 million annually. While Dortmund had also reached an agreement with Silva, Roma's late push and the player's preference to move to Italy have shifted the momentum. The only hurdle now is an agreement on a transfer fee, with Silva having just one year left on his deal at Molineux. The Premier League club is demanding a base fee of over €25 million (£21.5m/$29m) for the striker, but Roma are hopeful of arranging a loan with an option to buy.

Man Utd set to be priced out of astronomic Baleba deal

Per The Telegraph, United are currently unwilling to meet Brighton's asking price for Baleba, which stands at over £100m. INEOS, it is reported, view the defensive midfielder as an ideal prospective target, but they are said to be unlikely to meet the Seagulls' valuation in this window, as they operate within tighter financial constraints. They have already signed Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko for a combined total of more than £200 million ($271.5m) this summer.

Spurs' £42m Savinho bid rejected with Man City price revealed

Tottenham have had an opening £42million offer for Manchester City's Savinho turned down, with the Premier League champions holding out for £67m.

Reports from Brazil have revealed that Manchester City will only part with Savinho if their £67m asking price is met. The player's agent, Frederico Moraes, confirmed Tottenham have already seen a first £42m bid that had already been rejected. Savinho is understood to be keen on joining Spurs in search of regular game time before the 2026 World Cup, having reportedly given the green light to the move.

Pep and ten Hag set for transfer battle over Akliouche

According to Florian Plettenberg, Pep Guardiola's City have reignited their pursuit of Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche. The 23-year-old remains Leverkusen's "dream target" this summer, but the Sky Blues' entry into the race adds fresh competition. Valued at €70 million (£60m/$77m), Akliouche is seen as a cheaper alternative to Real Madrid's Rodrygo, who could cost around €100m (£85m/$109m).

Man Utd could be forced to loan Sancho out again
