Victor Osimhen is snubbing the English Premier League, Kudus has made his choice, and Arsenal are edging closer to a new No.9. Whether you’re following Nigerian stars or Europe’s biggest clubs, today’s transfer updates are packed with drama – and a few surprises.
Here’s your full round-up of today’s biggest transfer rumours
Osimhen Says Yes to Galatasaray After Liverpool Talks Collapse
Victor Osimhen is reportedly set to join Galatasaray permanently, turning down Liverpool and Manchester United in the process. The Super Eagles striker had a sensational loan spell in Turkey last season, scoring 37 goals in 41 games, and has been in regular contact with manager Okan Buruk since.
Liverpool explored a complicated three-way deal involving Osimhen, Darwin Nunez, and Federico Chiesa, but talks stalled. United, meanwhile, couldn’t meet Osimhen’s wage demands. With Napoli moving on and Galatasaray all-in, the 26-year-old looks set to stay in Istanbul.
Kudus Wants Spurs – But West Ham Holding Firm After £50m Bid Rejected
Tottenham are in talks to sign Mohammed Kudus, and the player reportedly only wants a move to Spurs. An opening £50m bid has been rejected by West Ham, who value the Ghanaian higher and aren’t in a rush to sell.
Kudus joined from Ajax just last summer but is already being targeted by top clubs after a strong debut season in England. Chelsea have also made enquiries but Spurs are firmly in the driving seat.

West Ham Want Lookman as Kudus Replacement
With Kudus edging closer to the exit door, West Ham are preparing a bid for Ademola Lookman. The Atalanta winger wants a return to the Premier League, and London is his preferred destination. Atletico Madrid are also in the mix, but West Ham are leading the race – especially if they cash in on Kudus.
Atalanta reportedly want £52 million, but a deal could hinge on how fast Kudus’ move is finalised.
AC Milan Push for Boniface Signing as Leverkusen Talks Begin
Victor Boniface could be on the move again. AC Milan have identified the Bayer Leverkusen striker as a top summer target and have already made initial contact. While Milan are unlikely to match the salary offer Boniface received from Al Nassr in January, the Nigerian is open to a move to Serie A.
Leverkusen haven’t decided whether to sell, but with Patrik Schick in talks over a contract extension, a deal could be on the table.

Arsenal Close in on £60m Gyokeres Deal After Sesko Collapse
Viktor Gyokeres is now Arsenal’s No.9 priority after the Gunners abandoned talks with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko. Gyokeres has reportedly agreed personal terms and is even willing to sacrifice £1.7m in wages to help push the deal through.
Sporting CP are holding out for a straight £60m fee, but Arsenal are working on a structured package with bonuses. The deal is moving fast – and Gyokeres is refusing to return to pre-season training in Portugal.
Madueke Targeted by Arsenal as Gunners Plan Winger Swoop
Arsenal are also lining up a move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, with the club expected to submit an official bid. The Gunners are in the market for a left-sided option but have long admired Madueke’s development, even though he plays primarily on the right.
No talks between clubs yet, but insiders suggest Chelsea would be open to a deal at the right price.

Bayern Munich Reach Personal Terms with Diaz
Luis Diaz is edging closer to a Liverpool exit, with Bayern Munich reportedly agreeing personal terms with the Colombian winger. Barcelona have cooled their interest, leaving the Bundesliga giants in pole position – but they still need to agree a fee with Liverpool.
The move could accelerate depending on Bayern’s outgoings and Diaz’s stance on a fresh contract at Anfield.
Rashford Offered to Barcelona as Exit Edges Closer
Marcus Rashford has been offered to Barcelona as Manchester United prepare for a major summer reshuffle. With Luis Diaz likely heading to Bayern, Barça have turned their attention to the England international after also missing out on Nico Williams.
No deal is in place yet, but Rashford is reportedly open to the move, and United are said to be willing to listen to offers.
Dortmund Want to Keep Chukwuemeka After Loan Success
After a solid loan spell, Borussia Dortmund are hoping to sign Carney Chukwuemeka permanently from Chelsea. The 21-year-old impressed across 16 appearances and even played in the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl confirmed talks with Chelsea are set to begin: “It won’t be easy, but for sure we’ll try to keep him.”
Sancho to Juventus Gathering Pace
Juventus are reportedly getting closer to a deal for Jadon Sancho, who spent last season on loan at Chelsea. Talks are expected to accelerate this week, with United keen to move the 25-year-old on permanently.
Juventus Willing to Sell Vlahovic for Just £13m
Dusan Vlahovic could be available for a bargain £13 million, with Juventus prepared to offload the Serbian striker. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa have shown interest, and more Premier League clubs are expected to join the race.
United Linked with cut-price Striker Move
Manchester United are being linked with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (free), Moise Kean, and Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku (£35m). All three have mixed injury records, but United’s attack looks set for a shake-up regardless.
