The summer window continues to deliver drama, with big-money moves in the works and Nigerian stars dominating the headlines once again. Here’s your latest round-up of transfer stories making waves today.
Inter Milan make final £39m offer for Ademola Lookman
Inter Milan have tabled what they insist is their final offer for Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman. According to reports in Italy, the Serie A giants met with Atalanta over the weekend and proposed a £35 million deal with £4.3 million in performance-related add-ons.
La Dea have been holding out for £43 million, but Inter are standing firm on their valuation. Lookman, for his part, is keen on the move and has reportedly made his intentions clear to Atalanta. The ball is now in the Bergamo club’s court, sell now, or risk an unhappy player heading into the new season.

Fulham reignite interest in Chukwueze
Samuel Chukwueze could be set for a Premier League return. Fulham are once again chasing the AC Milan winger after missing out on him in January. The Super Eagles star has struggled to replicate his Villarreal form in Italy, where he’s managed just 14 goal contributions in 69 appearances.
Milan’s failure to qualify for the Champions League has forced them to consider selling high earners, and Chukwueze could be one of the first out the door. Fulham are expected to test the waters with a new approach in the coming days.
Ndidi to Saudi? Al-Ahli interested
Wilfred Ndidi’s future remains uncertain following Leicester City’s relegation, but Saudi side Al-Ahli are now exploring a move for the Nigerian midfielder. The deal would reunite Ndidi with former Foxes teammate Riyad Mahrez and fellow headline names like Allan Saint-Maximin and Ivan Toney.
Leicester’s financial constraints could make them open to offers, but Ndidi will weigh his options carefully, with rumoured interest from Bundesliga and EPL.
Isak gives green light to Liverpool
The biggest move of all may be brewing. Reports in France suggest Alexander Isak has agreed personal terms with Liverpool and wants to join the Reds.
Newcastle are holding out for £150 million, but Liverpool believe a deal can be struck for closer to £120 million including bonuses. A meeting between the clubs is expected within the next 48 hours.
Newcastle eye Nicolas Jackson
Newcastle United are monitoring Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak. The Swedish star is edging closer to a sensational move to Liverpool, and the Magpies are making contingency plans.
Jackson, who scored 13 goals for Chelsea last season, could be a smart long-term option. However, any move would hinge on Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate after ruling out Manchester United’s approach earlier in the window.

Man Utd confident on Sesko
Manchester United are narrowing their striker shortlist, and Benjamin Sesko appears to be top of the pile. The Red Devils are reportedly confident of beating Newcastle to the RB Leipzig star’s signature after positive early talks.
While the deal won’t come cheap, United believe Sesko would prefer a move to Old Trafford if a formal bid is made. Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins remains another target, though his price tag could be prohibitive.
Dortmund consider Sancho return
Borussia Dortmund are weighing up a move to bring Jadon Sancho back to the club for a third spell. The Manchester United winger spent last season on loan at Chelsea but is open to a Bundesliga return.
United are prepared to let him leave permanently for around €20 million, and Dortmund are discussing the feasibility internally. Expect developments this week.
Real Madrid monitoring Konaté and Saliba
With uncertainty around defensive depth, Real Madrid are keeping tabs on both Ibrahima Konaté and William Saliba. Konaté, who has just one year left on his Liverpool contract, is reportedly keen on a Bernabéu switch.
Saliba’s situation is trickier given his long-term deal at Arsenal, but Madrid will be watching closely if there’s any sign the Gunners are open to business.
Chelsea chase Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho could be one of the most high-profile exits from Manchester United this summer. Chelsea are interested in the Argentine winger and are said to be preparing an offer of around £40 million.
Aston Villa are also in the race, but Chelsea may move fast to wrap up a deal, regardless of progress on other targets like Xavi Simons.

Müller wants MLS move
German legend Thomas Müller is looking to finish his career in Major League Soccer, with Vancouver Whitecaps his preferred destination. However, before the deal can proceed, Vancouver must agree a fee with FC Cincinnati, who hold his discovery rights in MLS.
Having turned down LAFC, Müller now hopes to sign for Vancouver and bring his World Cup-winning experience to North America.
Everton want Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish could be on the move this summer – and Everton are interested. The Toffees are preparing a loan bid for the Manchester City winger, with West Ham and Napoli also interested.
Grealish is prioritising regular game time ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and Everton are hoping the promise of a starring role at their new stadium will help convince him.
