Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's latest transfer news and rumours roundup. We're just about 3 months away from the next transfer window and things sure are getting interesting yet again.
There's been plenty of talk and speculation, promising to make the January transfer window a lot more significant than it usually is. Here's a quick look at all the important transfer talk from across the globe for the day.
Premier League
Alexandre Lacazette is trying to persuade Antoine Greizmann to join Arsenal
The Arsenal striker has triggered immense speculation after suggesting that he's attempting to coax Griezmann into signing for his club - Arsenal. According to The Sun, when quizzed about his relationship with the Atletico Madrid striker, he said:
“Our nicknames for each other are Griezzy and Lacaz.
“If Griezzy visits me in London, I’m going to ask him to sign for Arsenal!
"We have a good chemistry and don’t need to talk to understand each other’s movements on the pitch."
Greizmann has been linked closely with a potential move to Manchester United, but Lacazette's comments are bound to intensify any approach by either club as Atletico Madrid will hope to hang onto their man for dear life.
Everton plot move to sign Andy Carroll
After losing Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United earlier this summer, Everton have been desperate to sign an equally effective striker to fill in for the Belgian. They have, however, had no luck in the same.
Despite signing Wayne Rooney, Ronald Koeman is still desperate to sign an attacking and strong striker, and is reportedly lining up a January bid worth roughly £20 million for former Liverpool and current West Ham star - Andy Carroll, as per reports in The Sun.
Bundesliga
Aubameyang continues to hint at Dortmund exit
After teasing at a potential exit from the club earlier in the summer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grudgingly remained at Borussia Dortmund, despite sending out a come-get-me call to AC Milan, which seemingly fell on deaf ears.
However, latest reports from Football365 indicate that this could indeed be the striker's last season with the Bundesliga side, after he was interviewed this past weekend and reportedly said:
“I am happy to have stayed here, however, I don’t know what will happen at the end of the season.”
Arsenal enter race to sign Christian Pulisic
The Premier League side made a couple of worthy acquisitions in the form of Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac. However, most people believe that this Arsenal side is not the finished article and can be further bolstered, come January.
Earlier today, reports from Europe began to suggest that Arsene Wenger and Co. are monitoring Christian Pulisic and may be building a bid for the American star. The imminent departure of Alexis Sanchez has ostensibly forced the Gunners to start looking for replacements who can step up in place of the Chilean talisman.
Serie A
Inter Milan cool interest in Arsenal's Mesut Ozil
Despite expressing serious concern in Arsenal's contract rebel Mesut Ozil, Inter Milan have now apparently accepted that they might not get their man. The German has entered the last year on his contract and has refused to sign a new deal at the Emirates.
However, the Serie A giants seem to believe that Ozil will stay at Arsenal and sign a new deal, forcing them to reportedly cool their interests in signing the ace playmaker, as per ESPN.
Juventus shelve plans to sign Emre Can
After intently pursuing him a couple of months ago, Juventus, it seems, have given up their hunt for Liverpool's Emre Can. Despite early indications foreshadowing a January move for the midfielder, latest reports suggest that Can could stay at Liverpool.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus' chief executive Beppe Marotta reportedly said:
“We don’t think we are going to make a big signing in January,”
"We have faith in this team and in these lads. As for Emre Can I don’t think Liverpool will sell him in January.
“We made an offer for him in the summer but the Reds didn’t sell him so I don’t think they’ll change their mind in the middle of the season.”
La Liga
Robert Lewandowski to push for Real Madrid move
Bayern Munich's star striker has stunned the world with news of a possible switch to Real Madrid. The German ace has reportedly started taking Spanish classes, and has subsequently triggered widespread speculation.
Lewandowski is reportedly obsessed with Real Madrid and dreams of playing for the Los Blancos, much like every other footballer in the world. The striker is valued by Bayern Munich at a towering £125 million, but is set to push for a move from within Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid's lack of a backup striker has ostensibly played its part in their disappointing start to the season, with nobody stepping up as Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be experiencing a goal draught of sorts.
Many believe that this could indeed prompt Zidane and Co. to go after Lewandowski at the soonest.
Eden Hazard set to sign huge new contract
Amid strong interest from Real Madrid, Eden Hazard is reportedly set to sign a massive new deal at Stamford Bridge, which will ensure he stays at Chelsea for the foreseeable future. The Belgian is currently contracted until 2020 and already earns a whopping £220,000-a-week.
However, reports in The Sun claim that the Blues are set to offer him a new mammoth 300,000-a-week deal, which Hazard is expected to sign upon return from the international break. Notably, this deal will propel Hazard past Paul Pogba to become the Premier League's highest paid footballer.
Ligue 1 and the rest of the world
Paris Saint-Germain to tempt Alexis Sanchez with mouth-watering joining bonus
It only looks like it's a matter of time before Arsenal's contract rebel Alexis Sanchez leaves the club. The Chilean has entered the last 12 months on his contract, and will be free to agree a pre-contract deal with clubs, come January, unless he signs a new contract at Arsenal (which currently seems unlikely).
A host of European clubs have expressed interest in signing the winger, but reports from the Daily Mail suggest that PSG could edge out their competition by offering Sanchez an astonishing joining bonus of £10 million to join them next season. Only time will tell if Alexis Sanchez will give in, or decide to persist with Arsenal.
Liverpool to fight West Ham for Lukasz Teodorczyk
After a frustrating transfer window that saw top target Virgil van Dijk slip away, Liverpool are now allegedly keen on focusing their wherewithal on a new target - Lukasz Teodorczyk from Anderlecht.
However, reports emerging from Europe indicate that Jurgen Klopp could face still competition from West Ham, who are also believed to be monitoring the striker. Both sides seem to be in dire need of a reliable striker, and could fight tooth and nail to sign the 26-year-old Polish international.
