Further details have emerged regarding Chelsea’s pursuit of Granit Xhaka.

Reports from Standard Sport indicate that the Blues are seriously considering a summer move for the former Arsenal captain, though they have yet to open talks with Sunderland.

It is widely reported that Xhaka hopes to reunite with Xabi Alonso at Stamford Bridge and has informed his representatives of his wish to return to London, three years after leaving Arsenal following an eventful seven-season spell.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, an agreement on personal terms between Xhaka and Chelsea is already “guaranteed.”

The 33-year-old is said to be pushing for the move himself, though Sunderland remain reluctant to part ways with their skipper.

It will now depend on Chelsea’s ability to persuade their Premier League counterparts to release the Swiss international, who is currently leading his national team in the World Cup knockout rounds.

There could also be a major new development in Liverpool’s pursuit of Yan Diomande.

The Reds are eager to follow up their unexpected £34.5 million signing of Spanish winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna with a major investment in the Ivorian teenager as new manager Andoni Iraola reshapes his forward line.

Negotiations with RB Leipzig have proven difficult, as the German club are holding out for a fee exceeding £100 million for their prized asset.

Spanish outlet El Debate now reports that Real Madrid have entered the competition for Diomande, as they look to strengthen their squad following a disappointing campaign and the high-profile return of Jose Mourinho to the Bernabeu.

Paris Saint-Germain also remain interested in the 19-year-old, who has helped Ivory Coast reach the World Cup round of 32.

Tottenham Hotspur, while battling Manchester United for Mateus Fernandes, are reportedly preparing a massive offer for Sandro Tonali.

Spurs are desperate to reinforce their squad for Roberto De Zerbi’s first full season in charge after finishing 17th in consecutive Premier League campaigns, narrowly avoiding relegation last season at the expense of West Ham United.

They have already strengthened their defence with the additions of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Jan Paul van Hecke, while veteran goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is set to join next week.

Attention has now shifted to the midfield, with TEAMtalk reporting that Tottenham are readying a second £100 million bid for Tonali after Newcastle rejected their initial £75 million offer.

German midfielder Felix Nmecha could leave Borussia Dortmund for Newcastle as Tonali’s replacement in a £50 million deal, though he is also on the radar of Manchester United and Liverpool.

Manchester United are stepping up their efforts to secure Mateus Fernandes.

The Red Devils are in a fierce contest with Tottenham for the West Ham midfielder, with both clubs also interested in Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.

Journalist Matteo Moretto reports that United have re-entered the race for Fernandes and have resumed contact with his representatives this weekend.

The club is reportedly prepared to enhance its contract proposal for the 21-year-old, who is currently representing Portugal at the World Cup.

United are also planning to reopen talks with West Ham in an attempt to outmanoeuvre Spurs for the former Southampton player.

Reports suggest Granit Xhaka is eager to complete a move to Chelsea this summer.

Standard Sport understands that Chelsea are weighing up a surprising deal for the ex-Arsenal captain during the ongoing transfer window.

However, discussions with Sunderland have yet to commence, and the Championship side are reluctant to lose their influential leader.

Fabrizio Romano adds that Xhaka, who will turn 34 in September, is keen to reunite with Xabi Alonso at Stamford Bridge and has expressed a strong interest in returning to London.

Arsenal, meanwhile, appear to have received a major lift in their chase for Bruno Guimaraes.

The North London club, long-time admirers of the Newcastle captain, reportedly saw their opening £55 million bid turned down earlier this week.

Arsenal are now preparing a second offer for the Brazilian, who is currently on international duty at the World Cup.

TEAMtalk reports that Arsenal have held extensive discussions with Guimaraes’ representatives in recent weeks and have received “all the encouragement they need” to press ahead with the deal.

According to FootballTransfers, Guimaraes’ camp has given Arsenal the “green light” to negotiate with Newcastle directly.

Brighton & Hove Albion are set to complete the signing of Leeds defender Pascal Struijk.

The Athletic claims that Fabian Hurzeler’s side will replace Jan Paul van Hecke with the Dutchman in a £20 million transfer.

Arsenal are also reportedly planning a move for Morgan Rogers, with TEAMtalk indicating that the forward has become a top priority for Mikel Arteta’s side, who are simultaneously leading the chase for Bruno Guimaraes.

Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on an agreement to sign Maghnes Akliouche.

Foot Mercato reports that the Champions League winners have reached personal terms with the Monaco midfielder but must wait for Kang-In Lee’s transfer to Atletico Madrid to be finalised before completing the deal.

Manchester United youngster Chido Obi is set to join FC Koln on a season-long loan, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The 18-year-old forward made eight senior appearances under Ruben Amorim during the 2024–25 season but spent most of the year with the club’s Under-21s. The loan spell in the Bundesliga is expected to provide him with regular first-team football.
