With less than a month remaining in the summer transfer window, deals that have been bubbling away for weeks will suddenly hit a boiling point as clubs, players and agents scramble to get moves finalised.
Newcastle, for one, are getting impatient. They are reportedly expecting a high-stakes bidding war for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, upping their offer to an eye-watering £69.7m plus add-ons, which is closer to matching Leipzig’s valuation of the Slovenian. Manchester United are lurking in the shadows with sources suggesting they do not need to sell anyone to make a move despite their intentions to offload Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Eddie Howe’s side will be desperate to secure the striker’s signature despite Alexander Isak being expected to return to training, with the Swede’s head everywhere but Tyneside.
Newcastle are also reportedly going back for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, a player Howe has been keen on for a while.

Earlier in the window it was reported the player was desperate to leave but the Brazilian is comfortable in the Spanish capital. With Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior as his main competition, it is a bold move, but it shows his confidence. Youngsters Endrick and Gonzalo Garcia, who Madrid only want to keep one of, will also be pushing for places too.
Add Atalanta to the list of clubs working away to try an find a new striker. Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz is now their top target. The Italian club have also held talks about Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, but a reported £34.7m bid was recently rejected, suggesting they will have to up the ante. The club need to sign a forward with the future of Ademola Lookman hanging in the balance. The forward is on strike after not showing up to Atalanta’s pre-season training due to his unhappiness at the club refusing to sanction a move to Internazionale despite an offer of €45m including bonuses. The player addressed his grievances publicly on social media but the club are steadfast in…
