Chelsea looking to hijack Manchester City's move for Jorginho

Manchester Evening News have reported that talks between the Premier League champions and Napoli have reached an impasse in the past few days regarding the transfer of Jorginho. It is believed that Napoli are trying to squeeze as high a transfer fee from the deep-lying playmaker as possible.

Personal terms have already been agreed upon with Jorginho reportedly setting his sights on playing under Pep Guardiola. He has not been included in Napoli's preseason squad and the club have already signed his replacement in the form of Fabian Ruiz. The Partenopei are holding out for a sum of over £50 million.

Meanwhile, Maurizio Sarri who is on his way to Chelsea has reportedly instructed his new club to make a move for Jorginho. The Blues are looking to outbid City for the 26-year-old. If Napoli proceed further with Chelsea, City are then supposed to make a move for Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic.

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United have rejected an opening bid from the Hammers for club captain Jamal Lascelles. It is reported that West Ham had submitted a bid of £20 million, rising to £25 million with bonuses and add-ons for the centre back.

But Newcastle have made their stance known and have told West Ham that Lascelles is not for sale this summer. Everton are also being linked with the 24-year-old. Meanwhile, Lascelles reported back for training for the Magpies on Friday. He made 33 league appearances for Newcastle last season.

AC Milan to not let Suso leave for Inter Milan

AC Milan's sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli has admitted that Suso will not leave for city rivals Inter Milan this summer. The forward has been linked with a move away from AC Milan after the club was found guilty of breaking FFP regulations.

But Mirabelli was quoted by Goal as saying, "I can assure you there's no chance whatsoever that Suso's going to Inter. It's true he has a release clause valid for non-Italian clubs, but he has always said he wants to stay here with us and we are relying on him."

Napoli keen on Matteo Darmian and Sime Vrsaljko

With Faouzi Ghoulam suffering a long-term injury, Napoli are reportedly targeting moves for Darmian and Vrsaljko. Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Napoli are making their initial offers ready for the two fullbacks.

Inter are said to be keen on landing Vrsaljko on a loan deal whereas Juventus are interested in signing Darmian. Napoli have their work cut out if they are to sign these two defenders from under the noses of their rivals.

Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing the flashy winger. Palace value Zaha at around £70 million and will play hardball in holding onto their most valuable asset.

Robert Lewandowski to stay put at Bayern Munich

A humbling experience in the World Cup is reported to have changed Lewandowski's future plans. Bild has suggested that the Polish striker has had a change of heart and will now stay put with the Bavarians.

Ronaldo's replacement?

Real Madrid to include two superstars in a bid to sign Kylian Mbappe

It is widely believed that Real Madrid have set their sights on Kylian Mbappe to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. After a successful World Cup campaign, PSG have reportedly kept Mbappe's valuation at a staggering €350 million. According to Don Balon, Real Madrid are ready to include two superstars to lower Mbappe's price.

The players on Florentino Perez's mind to acquire his dream target are Gareth Bale and Raphael Varane. PSG have been long-term admirers of Varane and the inclusion of Gareth Bale may make the Parisians agree in letting the teenager go.

Alaves target Borja Mayoral

AS has claimed that Alaves are keen on landing Real Madrid's Borja Mayoral. The backup striker has failed to land regular playing time at the Bernabeu and may move this summer. It is reported that the decision over Mayoral's future rests on Julen Lopetegui. The new Madrid manager is yet to decide if the striker features in his plans or not.
