While the Telegraph claim that Manchester United are readying a €60m offer for Casemiro, reports in response in Spain state that Real Madrid will not entertain a bid of that amount and it is suggested it would take a bid of between €80m-€90m to get them to the negotiating table.

Sky Sports report that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is eager to initiate a new round of talks with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s camp this week, with Barcelona looking for a fee in the region of €30m if they are to sell after seven months.

Italian media claim that Inter starlet Cesare Casadei is due in London on Wednesday night for his Chelsea medical ahead of a €15m move.

The Daily Mail claim that Newcastle will return with an improve offer for Watford’s João Pedro after their initial £20m bid was rejected but the latest offer reportedly still falls short of the Hornets’ £35m valuation.

Nottingham Forest’s stunning summer business is set to continue as RMC Sport in France claim that a £15m deal is close for Lyon’s Houssem Aouar, who has agreed personal terms with the newly-promoted club.

Manchester City youngster Liam Delap is closing in on a loan deal to Championship side Stoke, according to the Athletic, but it does not include an option to buy the striker who was the subject of reported £15m interest from Southampton last week.

L’Équipe claim PSG are in discussions with Ander Herrera over a contract termination that could see him seal a romantic return to Athletic Club despite having two years remaining on his current deal at the Parc des Princes.

However, the story goes on to state that despite the club being keen to offload Layvin Kurzawa, Mauro Icardi and Julian Draxler, there are no similar discussions taking place over their contracts.

Juventus are eager to get two more deals done and quickly, with La Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting that Massimiliano Allegri is pressurising the club’s hierarchy for urgency on the potential arrivals of Leandro Paredes and Memphis.

One man who will not be leaving Turin as things stand is Adrien Rabiot, with Manchester United pulling out of a potential deal for the midfielder due to his salary demands, per the Manchester Evening News.

Álvaro Morata will not leave Atlético Madrid, AS claim, for anything less than €60m – meaning he is now set to remain after an impressive start to the season.

De Telegraaf report that Ajax winger Antony is no longer a transfer target for Manchester United and there is now increased optimism in Amsterdam that he will remain there for another season.

Roma target Andrea Belotti is growing frustrated with no headway being made on that move and La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that he has given the Giallorossi a deadline of the end of the week to make the necessary sales to make room for his arrival or he may be forced to look at other options, with Nice interested.

The French side are also exploring a potential move to bring Arsenal’s record signing Nicolas Pépé back to Ligue 1, per Foot Mercato.

Cristiano Ronaldo has grown tired of the constant speculation around his future and has promised that all will become clearer soon.

“They [will] know the truth when they interview in a couple weeks. The media is telling lies,” he posted on Instagram in response to a page linking him to Atlético Madrid.

“I have a notebook and in the last few months of the 100 news I made, only five were right. Imagine how it is. Stick with that tip.”

Brighton secured their Marc Cucurella replacement with the signing of Pervis Estupiñán from Villarreal for an initial €18m fee.

Tottenham finalised the long-awaited signing of exciting Italian left-back Destiny Udogie from Udinese, where he will return on loan this season.

And if those weren’t enough left-back signings for Premier League sides on Tuesday, Manchester City also wrapped up their deal for Anderlecht’s Sergio Gómez.
