TRENDING RUMORS

– Free-agent striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has sacked his agent and will do his own negotiations in a bid to earn a contract with Manchester United, according to The Sun. The 28-year-old, who left Everton after the expiration of his contract at the end of June, has in previous seasons been linked with a big-money move to Old Trafford. However, Benjamin Sesko signed for Man United on Saturday there would be no space in the United squad for Calvert-Lewin. But if Joshua Zirkzee or Rasmus Højlund were to move on, Calvert-Lewin would become a value option.

– With Giacomo Raspadori heading to Atlético Madrid, Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Napoli are aiming to sign Manchester City winger Jack Grealish. That said, the 29-year-old’s salary of around €15 million is too much for Gli Azzurri so they are also looking at Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa, Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin and RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa. It seems more likely that Grealish stays in the Premier League with Everton ramping up their efforts to secure a loan and they aren’t put off by the idea of paying most of his wages.

– Napoli have reignited their interest in AC Milan and United States midfielder Yunus Musah, as reported by Corriere dello Sport. This comes after conversations about a €14 million to €15 million move for Juventus midfielder Fabio Miretti had cooled. Napoli came close to signing Musah for €25 million near the start of the window but withdrew and are now looking at him again. Nottingham Forest are interested in the 22-year-old and willing to pay €30 million but he would prefer to stay in Italy. Benfica’s Florentino is also on Napoli’s radar.

– AS Roma have enquired about Juventus and USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie in recent days, reports Tuttosport, adding that there is also interest in the 26-year-old from the Bundesliga, Premier League and Turkish Super Lig. This comes with talks about a contract renewal to stay with the Bianconeri until 2028 having slowed down, although they haven’t come to a complete stop. No official offers have been made for McKennie yet.

– AC Milan could move quickly to sign Genoa centre-back Koni De Winter ahead of Internazionale while aiming to avoid an escalating valuation, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. This comes with the Rossoneri needing a centre-back as Malick Thiaw heads to Newcastle United. Milan could also look at Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, Renato Veiga and Axel Disasi. There are complicated negotiations with Arsenal, who want €35 million for Jakub Kiwior, and Nottingham Forest’s Nikola Milenkovic would be an option but difficult to sign.
