TRENDING RUMORS

- The Saudi Pro League is again lining up a "world record" offer for Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior, according to talkSPORT. Officials are reportedly prepared to make an approach worth €350 million on behalf of Al Ahli for the 25-year-old, who would be offered a five-year deal worth €1 billion. Vinicius entered the final two years of his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu this month, and there is optimism in Saudi Arabia that he could be tempted away from Los Blancos in the near future. The player has been chased by the Saudis for months.

- AC Milan have emerged as contenders to sign Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund, reports Gianluca Di Marzio. The Rossoneri have made an enquiry for the 22-year-old, as the Serie A club look to reinforce manager Massimiliano Allegri's attack after parting ways with both Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham. Højlund arrived at Old Trafford for a fee of £72m in the summer of 2023, and previous reports have indicated that the Red Devils would be willing to accept an offer of £40m for him. He has been linked with Internazionale all summer, but now he could head to the San Siro club's arch rivals.

- A meeting has taken place between Barcelona and the representatives of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, according to Diario Sport. The Blaugrana have reportedly explored a potential move for the 22-year-old Netherlands international, but it is thought that his €70m valuation would make a deal difficult to pursue without offloading some players. Simons scored 10 goals while providing seven assists in 25 Bundesliga matches last season, and he is also attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League.

- Internazionale have agreed personal terms with Ademola Lookman and made a first transfer proposal to Atalanta, according to Sky Sport Italia. The Nerazzurri want to take the 27-year-old on loan with an obligation to make the deal permanent for €40m, but Atalanta are demanding €50m. Lookman scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in Serie A last season.

West Ham are looking at Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, according to talkSPORT. The Hammers have reportedly "registered their interest" in the 29-year-old, but he would need to accept a lower salary than his current £300,000-per-week contract. Uncertainty is surrounding Grealish's future after he was left out of manager Pep Guardiola's squad for the Club World Cup, while Everton are also monitoring his situation.
