TRENDING RUMORS

- Kobbie Mainoo has reiterated his desire to leave Manchester United against the wishes of manager Ruben Amorim, so says the Daily Mail. The 20-year-old has struggled for game time in his preferred position under Amorim, leading to a possible exit before the transfer window closes. Man United and Amorim are thought to have turned down Mainoo's request, who is targeting regular football in a bid to make Thomas Tuchel's England squad for next summer's FIFA World Cup. Chelsea have previously expressed an interest in signing the young midfielder.

- Bayern Munich have agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea, Fabrizio Romano reports. The Bundesliga champions will sign Jackson on an initial loan deal with a future option to sign him permanently for €80 million. The 24-year-old is now set to jet out to Bavaria to finalize the move, where he'll likely provide competition for Bayern's star striker, Harry Kane. Jackson, a Senegal international, has been at Chelsea since 2023, where he has scored 24 goals in 65 Premier League matches. According to Romano, Bayern are set to pay Chelsea a €15 million loan fee to complete the deal.

Villa are proposing an initial £5 million loan fee, with a future obligation to sign the Brazilian permanently for £45 million next summer. However, at this time, West Ham are only willing to sanction an immediate permanent exit. Villa are keen to strengthen in the final days of the summer transfer window, having also been heavily linked with a move for former loan star Marco Asensio of Paris Saint-Germain.

- Arsenal are set to sign defender Piero Hincapié on loan after striking a deal with Bayer Leverkusen, according to The Athletic. The Gunners will also have the option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season for a fee of around €52 million. Hincapie, 23, is set to travel to London this weekend to undergo a medical with Arsenal, who have already strengthened their defensive line this summer with the acquisition of Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia.

- AC Milan are willing to pay €15 million to sign Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji this summer, according to Sky Sports. The Serie A giants are confident they can agree a deal with City, although it is reported that Akanji would prefer to remain in England if possible. As things stand, Milan are waiting for the approval of the Switzerland international before submitting a formal bid. Akanji, 30, is under contract at the Etihad until June 2027.
