The summer transfer window in Europe is now open, and there is no shortage of gossip. In the latest Transfer Talk, we bring you all the buzz surrounding rumours, incoming and outgoing players, and completed deals.
The top story revolves around a potential swap deal between Chelsea and Juventus. Chelsea is reportedly willing to send Romelu Lukaku to Juventus in exchange for Dusan Vlahovic. While Chelsea had not initially considered using Lukaku in a swap deal, it seems Juventus is currently the only interested club in the 30-year-old striker. Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter Milan and was linked with a permanent return, but Inter have withdrawn their interest. This has left Lukaku in an uncertain position as Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino explores other attacking options. Lukaku has attracted interest from Saudi clubs, but he remains eager to return to Serie A. Vlahovic has caught the eye of Pochettino following an impressive season with Juventus, where he scored 14 goals in all competitions.
In other news, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are reportedly £25 million apart in their valuation of forward Harry Kane. Representatives from both clubs have met to discuss a potential deal for the 30-year-old, who has just one year remaining on his contract with Spurs. Paris Saint-Germain is attempting to strike a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, while Arsenal is listening to offers for players including Kieran Tierney and Folarin Balogun. Barcelona is considering a move for Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix if Ousmane Dembélé departs, and West Ham United has rejected Inter’s approach for Gianluca Scamacca.
The summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for clubs as they look to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on all the latest transfer news!
