Dušan Vlahović is planning a final round of negotiations with Juventus over a new contract before his current deal expires this summer. He wants to remain in Turin but will consider offers from both Chelsea and Newcastle United if no agreement can be reached. (Source: Gazzetta dello Sport)

Liverpool are seen as a potential landing spot for Bournemouth forward Rayan following the appointment of former Cherries boss Andoni Iraola as manager, but a deal will only be possible from January onwards, when a release clause of $150 million (£130 million) will activate. That figure will gradually drop over subsequent transfer windows. (Source: The i Paper)
