Chelsea flop, Tiemoue Bakayoko is a transfer target for AC Milan this summer. The French man joined Chelsea from AS Monaco last summer but had a very underwhelming first season at Stamford Bridge that saw him lose his spot in the French national team for the World Cup. He has returned for preseason training, but it seems he hasn’t gotten better as his mistake allowed AC Milan to equalize in their International Champions Cup match. With Maurizio Sarri coming to Stamford Bridge with Jorginho, Milan want to sign Bakayoko as they believe they can bring the best out of him. Sun Sport claims Genaro Gattuso’s side see Bakayoko as one of two midfielders who could help sure up their midfield, the other is Salzburg’s Diadie Samassekou. Bakayoko’s experience in a big European league may see him edge the Malian and join the Italian giants should the Blues agree to sell.

Manchester United are planning to swoop for Barcelona’s Colombian defender, Yerry Mina after they were priced out of a deal for Harry Maguire. Maguire emerged as Jose Mourinho’s main target two weeks ago, but Leicester City don’t want any fee that is less than £65 million for the England World Cup hero. This fee has forced the Portuguese manager to turn his attention to Mina. Mina has been linked with moves to the Premier League all summer. Everton and West Ham were eyeing him with a season-long loan reportedly in the works. However, Manchester United are planning to make a permanent move for his services for £35 million. Mina scored 3 goals for Colombia in Russia, but would still struggle to get playing time at Barcelona this season with Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti the first choice centre-back pairing. The Blaugrana have also signed Clement Lenglet and Malcom, the latter would need to be signed as a non-EU player, so Mina would have to give up his spot.

If Manchester United are serious about signing Toby Alderweireld this summer, Tottenham have told them just what they need to do to land their man. The Red Devils are desperate to sign a new defender this summer and Jose Mourinho wants the Belgian ace. However, the two teams have been deadlocked in discussions over potential transfer so far. Reports on Sunsport claims that the Lilywhites have now informed them about what they need to do to get the defender. According to the report, Tottenham want £55 million or Anthony Martial in exchange for the World Cup semifinalist. Martial is set to leave Old Trafford this summer after falling out with his manager. Jose Mourinho has refused to give the former AS Monaco ace guarantees over a starting place, and the attacker wants out. Mauricio Pochettino believes he can unlock Martial’s obvious potentials and has told his team to try and get the French man. They have reportedly proposed the swap deal to United and they are waiting for a response from the Red Devils.

Chelsea are set to meet with Juventus officials this week so they can conclude the £40 million move for Danielle  Rugani. The Blues manager, Maurizio Sarri is prepared to make the Italian his new defence leader and the two clubs have been discussing a transfer for a long time now. Rugani was a target of Arsene Wenger last summer, but the French man couldn’t convince the Old Ladies to sell and Chelsea hopes to swoop this summer. Rugani has been left frustrated by remaining a squad member at the Allianz Stadium. He stayed put last season because he expected to play regularly after the club sold Leonardo Bonucci, however, Max Allegri has continued to prefer Giorgio Chiellini and Medhi Benatia. Rugani would be signing a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge and would be the new defence leader, with David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta and Garry Cahill all fighting for the other centre back spot.  

Arsenal’s move for Stephen Nzonzi is being held up by a unique clause in his current Sevilla contract that entitles his father to some money when he leaves the Spaniards. Nzonzi joined Sevilla in 2015 after spells in the Premier League with Blackburn and Stoke City, and he won the Europa League in his first season under current Arsenal manager, Unai Emery. The Spanish boss and the World Cup winner are keen on being reunited at the Emirates Stadium but the two clubs are still far from reaching an agreement. Nzonzi has a release clause of £36 million written into his current contract, but the Gunners don’t want to pay that much for his signature. Reports in Spain claim that if his father can forfeit his own percentage of any sale of the midfielder, the Spaniards would be willing to listen to offers below his release clause, otherwise, the Gunners would have to pay up his release clause.

Chelsea attacker Michy Batshuayi could be set to make yet another loan move out of Stamford Bridge this summer, with La Liga side, Valencia interested. The Belgian has failed to impress since he joined the Blues from Olympique Marseille in the summer of 2016. He was shipped out on loan in the second half of last season and scored 7 goals in 10 league games for Borussia Dortmund. The Germans were impressed and wanted to take him on a permanent basis this summer, but Chelsea wanted Maurizio Sarri to have a look at him first. However, the Italian is currently intensifying efforts to be reunited with Gonzalo Higuain and that would surely push Batshuayi further down the pecking order. He is already behind the likes of Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud. Reports in Spain claim that the attacker has now been linked with a move to Valencia on a season-long loan deal. The Spaniards are said to have made their offer known to the Blues and they are now waiting to see if the Blues would want to add an obligation to buy at the end of the short-term deal.
