Transfer Talks Heat Up: PSG. Napoli Stalemate, Key Moves in Premier League and Serie A

Posted : 23 July 2024

The transfer negotiations between Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli for striker Victor Osimhen have hit a stalemate, with PSG reportedly unwilling to meet Osimhen's release clause or include Lee Kang-in in the deal. As a result, the gap between the two parties remains substantial, pushing Osimhen further away from a move to Paris. Napoli, meanwhile, has identified Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement should Osimhen leave, though it appears unlikely that Lukaku will transfer this summer.

In other transfer news, West Ham and Manchester United are actively pursuing new signings. West Ham is reportedly interested in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Manchester United might offer around 20 million euros for an unnamed player. Additionally, Real Sociedad is looking to activate the release clause of a Japanese midfielder, highlighting the ongoing activity in the transfer market. Meanwhile, Serie A newcomers are set to sign a French defender who recently left Manchester United, with Fabrizio Romano reporting a contract until 2026 with an option for an additional year.

Aston Villa's Moussa Diaby is making a move to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia after just one season at Villa Park. The winger, who was acquired for 55 million euros from Bayer Leverkusen, will join Al Ittihad for 60 million euros on a five-year deal. Aston Villa is reportedly considering Joao Felix as a potential replacement, with Felix expected to leave Atletico Madrid. In addition, Al Ittihad is expected to renew talks with Manchester City regarding Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, with a potential transfer fee of 50 million euros being discussed.

Manchester United's bid for Matthijs de Ligt has hit a snag, with Bayern Munich rejecting their 35 million euro offer and demanding an additional 15 million euros. Negotiations are ongoing, and both parties are optimistic about reaching an agreement. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund is interested in Jan Kott, recently returned from a loan at Girona, and is preparing a 20 million euro offer. Dortmund is also exploring options with Artyom Dubyk from Girona and Nilkas Polkrug from Borussia Dortmund.

In other updates, Turkish striker Barish Yilmaz is attracting interest from several European clubs, with offers from Germany, Italy, and England expected to meet Galatasaray's 30 million euro valuation. Additionally, Scottish international and free agent leaving Southampton is set to sign with a Turin-based team, while a Moroccan player in the final year of his contract is expected to move to Istanbul for around 25 million euros. Atalanta has also made an 18 million euro offer for Celtic's Matt O'Reilly, though negotiations are expected to continue.
