Transfer deadline looms: Osimhen price tag, Emi Martinez exit, Gakpo demands Spurs move, and more

Europe’s summer transfer window is entering its final, frantic weeks — and the dominoes are falling fast. Here is everything happening across the continent on Saturday night.

ASTON VILLA IN TALKS FOR SUZUKI — EMI MARTINEZ EDGING TOWARD JUVENTUS EXIT

Aston Villa are in active negotiations to sign Japan international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, 23, from Parma after the shot-stopper’s proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain collapsed, according to Talksport. Villa’s pursuit of a new goalkeeper has immediately energised Juventus, who are now increasingly hopeful of landing Argentina World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez, 33 — with the Italian club sensing a genuine opportunity to prise the goalkeeper away from Villa Park, according to Football Italia.

ARSENAL TOLD: PAY MORE THAN £60M OR FORGET OSIMHEN

Arsenal face a stiff price tag if they want to land Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen this summer. The Gunners have been told they must table an offer exceeding £60m to stand any realistic chance of prising the 27-year-old away from Galatasaray, according to Football Insider. Osimhen has been one of Europe’s most coveted strikers since his explosive Serie A seasons with Napoli, and Galatasaray are in no mood to sell cheaply.

BARCELONA BELIEVE £59.8M BID WILL LAND RODRI FROM CITY

Barcelona are confident their third offer of 70 million euros (£59.8m) for Spain midfielder Rodri will be enough to convince Manchester City to part with the 30-year-old, according to AS. The reigning Ballon d’Or winner has been strongly linked with a return to Spain, and Barcelona believe their latest bid crosses the threshold required to open serious negotiations with the Premier League champions.

MANCHESTER CITY IN TALKS FOR £85M TEENAGE SENSATION BOUADDI

Manchester City are in negotiations to sign Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, with the French club demanding at least £85m for the 18-year-old prodigy, according to the Telegraph. Lille have confirmed the talks, signalling that a deal — if agreed — would make Bouaddi one of the most expensive teenage signings in football history.

NEWCASTLE REVIVE PALHINHA BID AS VILLA DEAL COLLAPSES

Newcastle United have revived talks to sign Bayern Munich’s Portugal midfielder Joao Palhinha, 31, after Aston Villa’s move for the player broke down, according to the Daily Mail. Benfica have also registered interest in the combative midfielder, setting up a three-way battle for his signature as Bayern seek to recoup their investment.

INTER MILAN EYEING LIVERPOOL’S CURTIS JONES IN LUIS HENRIQUE SWAP STRATEGY

Inter Milan are prepared to sell Brazilian winger Luis Henrique, 24, to fund a move for Liverpool’s England midfielder Curtis Jones, 25 — who is expected to cost approximately 40 million euros (£34m), according to Corriere dello Sport. Roma are also reported to be in contention for Jones, whose absence through a hip problem during Liverpool’s final pre-season game this weekend underlined his value.

CHELSEA DEMAND £60M FOR NICOLAS JACKSON AS VILLA, SPURS AND ATLETICO CIRCLE

Chelsea have slapped a £60m price tag on Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson, 25, with Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid all monitoring the situation, according to RMC Sport. Jackson has been inconsistent since joining Chelsea but has attracted significant interest, and the Blues are determined to command a premium fee.

DELAP WANTS PREMIER LEAGUE STAY AS NEWCASTLE AND EVERTON WATCH

Chelsea forward Liam Delap, 23 — fresh from a brace in Saturday’s pre-season win over Real Sociedad — has made clear he wants to remain in the Premier League despite interest from Italian side Como, according to Talksport. Newcastle United and Everton are both monitoring his situation as the transfer deadline approaches.

GAKPO TELLS LIVERPOOL HE WANTS TOTTENHAM MOVE

In a significant development, Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo, 27, has told Liverpool he wants to leave Anfield and join Tottenham Hotspur, with personal terms already agreed between the player and Spurs, according to Teamtalk. The development comes despite Gakpo starting Liverpool’s final pre-season fixture, raising serious questions about his future at the club heading into the new season.

BENFICA TARGET CHELSEA DEFENDER TOSIN

Portuguese giants Benfica have identified Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, as a transfer target after the English centre-back slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, according to Caught Offside. Tosin joined Chelsea on a free transfer but has struggled for consistent game time, and Benfica are reportedly keen to offer him a route back to regular first-team football in the Champions League.
