Premier League
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a surprising bid for ex-Everton forward and currently unattached player Dominic Calvert-Lewin, according to The Sun.
Arsenal and Sporting CP have reportedly reached an agreement on a transfer fee for Viktor Gyökeres that satisfies both clubs, as CNN Portugal dramatically reports. The north London club has successfully negotiated a deal that will see them pay only £56.1 million ($76.6 million) in guaranteed payments. Nevertheless, this agreement also features performance-related bonuses that could potentially add up to an additional £13 million ($17.7 million).
The Gunners are also reportedly well-positioned to acquire Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, who had previously attracted significant attention from Atlético Madrid, as reported by Fichajes.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United have all reportedly shown interest in Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, who carries a price tag of £52 million ($70.7 million), according to CaughtOffside.
Although Newcastle are reportedly open to allowing Tino Livramento to move to Manchester City if Pep Guardiola's team meets their £80 million ($109.2 million) valuation, Football Insider suggests that Eddie Howe is eager to retain the right-back.
City could alternatively focus their efforts on Inter wing-back Denzel Dumfries. The Champions League runner-up is reportedly nearing a Premier League switch despite strong interest from Barcelona, as Mundo Deportivo indicates.
Liverpool are reportedly planning a reunion for Arne Slot with Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kökçü, according to CaughtOffside. There is competing interest from United, Spurs and Inter for the midfielder who is valued at approximately £34.5 million ($47.1 million).

Wrexham have reportedly agreed to what would be a club-record £5 million ($6.8 million) transfer with Nottingham Forest for Lewis O'Brien, according to The Sun. However, the club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are reportedly finding it difficult to agree on wages that the player will accept.
