It’s panic stations at several top clubs as transfer talks reach breaking point. One of the summer’s biggest potential moves looks set to fall apart, and EPL sides are scrambling to offload wantaway stars.
Here’s everything you need to know about today’s transfer news:
Osimhen Refuses to Train Amid Napoli-Galatasaray War
Victor Osimhen has drawn a line in the sand. After Napoli rejected Galatasaray’s latest £64m bid, reports claim the Nigerian striker has refused to report for pre-season and is demanding a move to Istanbul.
Napoli are believed to be deliberately frustrating negotiations in order to force a Saudi move to Al Hilal, but Osimhen has reportedly told the club he has zero interest in a move to the Middle East. With the £64m release clause set to expire soon, time is running out.
Napoli to spend Osimhen money on Lookman
Napoli already have their eyes on a direct replacement – and it’s another Nigerian star.
According to Sky Sports Italia’s Luca Marchetti, Napoli are prepared to use a large chunk of the Osimhen money to fund a deal for Ademola Lookman, who has emerged as their top attacking target.

Gyokeres to Arsenal Set to Collapse
Arsenal’s long-standing pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres appears to be collapsing, according to Portuguese reports. Despite personal terms being agreed, Arsenal’s £65m + £15m in add-ons package has been rejected, with Sporting demanding £70m guaranteed.
Talks are now at a breaking point, with frustration growing behind the scenes and the Gunners reportedly ready to walk away.
Garnacho’s Man Utd Future Hangs in the Balance
After a public fallout with new manager Ruben Amorim, Alejandro Garnacho is among five Manchester United players banished from pre-season training. Napoli have reignited interest after failing with a £60m bid in January and now believe they can land the winger for around £45m.
Napoli president De Laurentiis even took a public swipe at United: “Get him out and he becomes twice the player.”
Uche Now Wanted by Two EPL Clubs
We revealed yesterday that Christantus Uche was targeting a Premier League move – and now it looks like Newcastle and Aston Villa are stepping up interest. The Getafe midfielder’s rise has caught the eye after a breakout year in La Liga and a recent Super Eagles call-up.

Arsenal and Liverpool Could Go Head-to-Head for Rodrygo
With Luis Diaz’s future uncertain, Liverpool are now reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo – but face competition from Arsenal. Madrid are said to want £78m for the Brazilian, pricing out most suitors apart from the Premier League elite and Al Nassr.
Rodrygo reportedly prefers a move to England over Saudi Arabia, meaning Liverpool and Arsenal could be on a collision course.
Antony Exit Edges Closer
Real Betis are pushing hard to keep Antony after his successful loan spell from Man United. The Spanish side are open to another loan, but United are demanding an obligation to buy. Betis are still trying to negotiate a deal, while United weigh up other offers.
United ‘Hopeful’ of Having Mbeumo on US Tour
Manchester United remain hopeful of landing Bryan Mbeumo before their U.S. tour kicks off on July 26. Talks with Brentford are ongoing after two bids were rejected, but United believe they’re now close to agreeing a £65m package. Personal terms are already in place.
Chukwuemeka Talks Continue
Borussia Dortmund want to extend Carney Chukwuemeka’s stay after a strong loan spell, but can’t afford his £5m+ wages or Chelsea’s £25m valuation. The Blues are desperate to offload permanently, while Dortmund are hoping to negotiate another loan with a purchase clause.
