The summer football transfer window is heating up with several key developments. Arsenal received a boost as Napoli decided to lower their asking price for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Previously set at £109 million, Napoli seeks a quicker deal.
Chelsea is in advanced discussions to sign Caleb Wiley from MLS club Atlanta, eyeing a potential loan to Strasbourg. The Blues are also considering a swap deal, offering Nicolas Jackson to Newcastle for Alexander Isak.
Tottenham may disrupt Brentford’s £35 million agreement with Leeds United for Archie Gray, while Manchester United has shown interest in Lille’s Jonathan David and Juventus’s Matthijs de Ligt.
Meanwhile, Roberto De Zerbi has been announced as the new head coach of Marseille, signing a three-year contract. De Zerbi previously managed Brighton, leading them to the Europa League.
Notably, Barcelona aims to sell Ansu Fati following his loan spell at Brighton, as new coach Hansi Flick does not see him in his plans.
In addition, West Ham has reportedly made a move for Georgia and Metz striker Georges Mikautadze, who is currently the top scorer at Euro 2024.
Finally, Manchester City are set to profit from Douglas Luiz’s transfer to Juventus, with a 20% sell-on clause netting them £5 million from the £42 million deal.
