Joel Matip, 32, the former Liverpool defender has attracted interest from Bayer Leverkusen following his free transfer departure from Liverpool this summer, according to Sky Germany. Additionally, Joel Matip is reportedly a target for the German club as they seek to strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, England defender Joe Gomez, 27, is not inclined to leave Liverpool despite the club’s offer to include him in a swap deal with Newcastle for winger Anthony Gordon.
Chelsea is considering a move for Celtic’s Danish midfielder Matt O’Riley, 23, should England’s Conor Gallagher, 24, transfer to Atletico Madrid. Gallagher is still exploring his options and negotiating a potential new contract with Chelsea. Borussia Dortmund is leading the race to sign Hoffenheim’s 21-year-old German forward Maximilian Beier, surpassing Chelsea and Aston Villa.
AC Milan has proposed €15 million (£12.78 million) plus add-ons to secure Brazilian defender Emerson Royal, 25, from Tottenham. Meanwhile, German striker Niclas Fullkrug, 31 has completed his medical at West Ham in preparation for his transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Leeds is pursuing a loan deal for 19-year-old English midfielder Bobby Clark from Liverpool.
Juventus plans to offload several players, including Italy forward Federico Chiesa, 26, who Tottenham also wants. Manchester United and Arsenal are considering a discounted deal for Chiesa, who is in the final year of his contract. Everton might have to sell England defender Jarrad Branthwaite, 22, for less than their asking price to address cashflow issues.
