28 July Transfer Rumours: Lookman latest, Liverpool preparing record breaking bid

With the summer window in full swing, we’ve got all the latest on who’s moving where. From Inter Milan’s renewed push for Ademola Lookman, to Spurs chasing an Arsenal player, here are today’s biggest stories.

Osimhen in Istanbul 

Victor Osimhen is expected in Istanbul today, with only the official announcement of his transfer pending. Turkish media claim Napoli accepted a deal worth £65 million, split into an upfront payment and two instalments.

Inter & Atalanta in talks over Lookman

Inter Milan and Atalanta will meet again this week to continue negotiations over Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman. After their initial £35m bid was rejected, reports in Italy suggest Inter are ready to up their offer to around £38m. Atalanta want closer to £43m – but a deal now feels more likely than ever.

Sadiq Umar waiting on Real Sociedad decision

After a frustrating time at Real Sociedad, Sadiq Umar could be set for a move – but only if he doesn’t get guaranteed minutes. The Nigerian striker still has a contract until 2028, and the club president has said “a pact” could be reached if playing time isn’t assured. The door remains open.

Jesus wanted – but fitness remains a worry

Gabriel Jesus is attracting interest from Milan, Barcelona, Newcastle and even North London rivals Spurs – plus Flamengo and Palmeiras in Brazil. But the Arsenal forward’s recent injury record is holding up any deal. With no official bids yet, a January move could be more realistic.

Liverpool preparing record-breaking Isak bid

Liverpool are reportedly ready to break the British transfer record for Alexander Isak. The Newcastle striker wants to leave and win the Champions League, and the Reds have now scheduled a meeting to submit their first offer. A deal north of £100m will be required.

United step up interest in Kolo Muani

PSG close in on Chevalier – could Donnarumma leave?

PSG are finalising a £34m deal to sign Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. His arrival could pave the way for Donnarumma to leave – with both Manchester clubs monitoring the situation.

Villa enter Calvert-Lewin race

Aston Villa have asked about free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s wage demands. With Rashford and Asensio departing, Unai Emery needs attacking reinforcements – and the former Everton striker could be an affordable fit.

Real Madrid stars in limbo

The futures of David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, Dani Ceballos, and Endrick are reportedly “up in the air,” according to AS. While Alaba wants to stay and Ceballos is seen as useful depth, Mendy is now third-choice at left-back. Rodrygo could headline a summer saga if Madrid receive the right offer, and Endrick may be loaned out to secure more game time in his first full senior season.

Liverpool among clubs tracking Idrissa Gueye

No, not that one. The 18-year-old Metz striker Idrissa Gueye is in demand. Liverpool, Brighton, Palace and West Ham are all interested, as are Dortmund, Frankfurt, Inter and Atalanta. Could he be the next breakout Ligue 1 star?
