Kai Havertz
Arsenal have reportedly made an improved verbal offer worth £60m for Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz.
That’s according to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail, who is reporting that the new package offered by the Gunners is worth a guaranteed £55m plus an extra £5m in bonuses. The offer comes after Arsenal saw a bid of £50m rejected by Chelsea last week.
The report goes on to claim that Arsenal want to wrap up a deal quickly and already have a broad agreement in place over personal terms. However, the same report goes on to say that Chelsea value the Germany international at £70m-£75m.
Harry Kane
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly pushing to sign Harry Kane this summer.
According to French publication Le Parisien, Al-Khelaifi is personally keen to sign Kane this summer regardless of who succeeds Christophe Galtier as manager. The 29-year-old is entering the final year of his current Tottenham deal and has been the subject of interest from clubs across Europe.
The report from Le Parisien goes on to claim that PSG are also targeting a big-money move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, but the former Lille man isn't keen on a return to Ligue 1. Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the England international.
Chelsea exits
Chelsea’s financial fair play problems are reportedly set to be eased by the significant investment of Saudi Arabia, in a warning for Liverpool and other rivals.
That’s according to The Times, who are reporting that Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy are among the players in talks to move to the Kingdom on lucrative deals. The report goes on to say that Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are both subjects of strong interest from Saudi Arabia.
The report also states that Chelsea are aiming to trim their bloated squad this summer after an unprecedented outlay of about £600 million by the new Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership over the past two transfer windows.
