Chelsea are pursuing deals for Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria and Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations for Chavarria are progressing with a player agreement in place, while talks for Lacroix continue despite Palace’s demands for a significant fee and need to secure a replacement. A move for Granit Xhaka has stalled, with Sunderland unwilling to sell the midfielder despite Chelsea’s offers.
Chelsea have completed the sale of winger Tyrique George to Everton for a fee of around £24 million, finalising a permanent transfer following a loan spell. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with the player delaying any decision until after the 2026 World Cup, focusing solely on the tournament. United are hoping to reintegrate Rashford during pre-season, but his long-term future will be evaluated after the World Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain are actively pursuing Yan Diomande, with a transfer fee exceeding €100 million likely required for an immediate move. They are also in talks for Maghnes Akliouche, while Randal Kolo Muani is attracting interest from Juventus, who have submitted a bid exceeding €30 million. PSG are seeking a higher fee for Kolo Muani, whose departure could free up funds for further additions.
Bradley Barcola is a target for both Liverpool and Arsenal, though Arsenal’s interest is contingent on whether they can secure Morgan Rogers. Liverpool currently view Barcola as their top winger target. Jurgen Klopp is set to become the new head coach of the Germany national team, finalising a deal after a two-year break from club management.
AC Milan’s Rafael Leao is available for transfer if a suitable offer arrives, with the player open to a new challenge. Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has received a lucrative offer from Besiktas but is holding out for a proposal from a major European club, as he is available as a free agent. Como are interested in Chelsea centre-backs Trevoh Chalobah and Mamadou Sarr, with Sarr potentially joining on loan.
