Nottingham Forest have identified 28-year-old Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders as a primary target, with a potential deal valued at £55m. Meanwhile, Tottenham are exploring various options, including an offer for 25-year-old American striker Folarin Balogun and interest in Brazil’s 22-year-old winger Savinho. If the pursuit of Savinho fails, Manchester City may shift their attention to Chelsea’s 26-year-old winger, Pedro Neto.
Tottenham are also keeping tabs on Cody Gakpo, Jean-Matteo Bahoya, and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, though no formal bids for the latter have been lodged. Elsewhere, Chelsea are nearing a deal for Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria and are considering a move for Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa. Real Madrid plan to restart contract discussions with Vinicius Jr this week but will not increase their previous offer.
Other developments include Manchester City bidding for goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, and Hull City competing with West Ham for Manor Solomon. Manchester United are evaluating Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential successor to Bruno Fernandes, while both United and Chelsea are tracking Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi. Additionally, Jadon Sancho is weighing offers from multiple global markets, Fulham have raised their bid for Shea Charles, and Preston North End have finalized a £2m agreement for Delano Burgzorg.
