    Transfer news & rumours LIVE: Asensio going nowhere

    Asensio going nowhere Marco Asensio will not be leaving Real Madrid this summer, according to AS.  The 22-year-old was not a full-time starter at the club last season, leading to rumours he could look to head elsewhere in search of regular starts.  But Asensio is only thinking about continuing on with the Blancos, and the club have no plans to entertain offers for the Spain international.  Athletic bid €20m for Azpilicueta  Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta wants to move back to Spain, with Athletic offering €20 million (£18m/$23m) for the 28-year-old, reports El Gol Digital. Azpilicueta has become a fixture for the Blues since arriving in 2012 from Marseille, but is ready to return to his homeland.  And Chelsea are willing to let Azpilicueta go, should they secure the services of Joao Miranda from Inter.  Tottenham make €26m offer for Plea Tottenham have bid €26 million (£23m/$30m) for Nice striker Alassane Plea, according to RMC Sport. The 25-year-old has developed into one of the top strikers in Ligue 1, scoring 21 goals in all competitions last season.  Nice are preparing for Plea's departure, sounding out Las Palmas striker Loic Remy as a potential replacement.  Martial, Morata & Icardi on Juve wish-list Juventus have placed Anthony Martial, Alvaro Morata, and Mauro Icardi atop their summer wish-list, reports Tuttosport.  With Emre Can having arrived to reinforce the squad's central midfield, the Serie A champions have now turned their attention toward improving their attacking options.  Southampton agree £16m Elyounoussi fee Southampton have agreed a £16 million (€18m/$21m) fee for Basel forward Mohamed Elyounoussi, according to Sky Sports. The 23-year-old scored 14 goals in 45 appearances last season, and can play either as a winger or a striker. He will be expected to help fill the void left by Dusan Tadic, who is moving to Ajax.  Elyounoussi has been capped 16 times by Norway.  Everton & Southampton move for Vestergaard Everton and Southampton have both made bids for Borussia Monchengladbach defender Jannik Vestergaard, reports ESPN FC. The 25-year-old has become a fixture in Germany, having also represented Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.  West Ham United and Watford are also looking into bidding for the Danish international, who made his country's World Cup squad but has yet to feature in Russia. Valencia interested in €30m Meunier Valencia are hoping to land Paris Saint-Germain right-back Thomas Meunier, according to Super Deporte. The Belgium international has hinted he is open to leaving the French champions after his playing time diminished in 2017-18.  The 26-year-old, who is currently starring for his country at the World Cup, would likely cost around €30 million (£27m/$35m).  Juventus willing to meet €20m Godin clause Juventus are looking for a new centre-back and are willing to meet Atletico Madrid star Diego Godin's €20 million (£18m/$23m) release clause, according to Calciomercato.com.   With Mehdi Benatia and Daniele Rugani potentially leaving the club, the Serie A champions have targeted the 32-year-old Uruguayan as a possible replacement.  Atletico won't let Godin leave without a fight, however, and are set to begin discussions over a new contact with the defender.   Bournemouth close in on £12m Brooks Bournemouth are nearing the £12 million (€14m/$16m) signing of Sheffield United midfielder David Brooks, claims the Daily Mail.   The 20-year old Wales international was a fixture for the Blades last season, scoring three goals and adding six assists in 33 appearances.

Reus has endured an injury-hit time of things in the past couple of years, but has remained a regular target for Premier League clubs, including the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United.

West Ham rocked by £50m Felipe Anderson price West Ham have been put off by Lazio's £50 million ($66m) asking price for midfielder Felipe Anderson.

Read the full story on Goal! Chelsea make £35m Rugani bid Chelsea have made a £35 million (€40m/$46m) offer for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, according to the Evening Standard.

And Jose Mourinho could be set to swoop for the 31-year-old Italy international should his club be required to sell.  Barca interested in Gabriel Jesus Barcelona have interest in Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, reports AS . The Catalans are looking to bring in two more signings before the new seasons begin, and the Brazil international is on their wish-list after Antoine Griezmann decided to stay at Atletico.  Though Barca would like to sign Jesus, they realise that prying the 21-year-old away from City will be an extremely difficult task.  Emery wants Vazquez at Arsenal Arsenal manager Unai Emery is looking to sign Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Vazquez, claims OK Diario.

The Serie A side are preparing to lose Milinkovic-Savic, who could be set for a big-money move to Manchester United or Real Madrid. With Ramsey out of contract next summer, Lazio will test Arsenal's resolve to hold on to the 27-year-old Wales international.  Napoli ready to bid for Luiz Napoli are preparing to make an offer for Chelsea centre-back David Luiz, claims Il Matino. The Brazilian fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge last season, and is reportedly interested in a move to Carlo Ancelotti's side.  Luiz, 31, has a contact with Chelsea until the end of the 2018-19 season.  Grealish decides to leave Aston Villa Jack Grealish has put Premier League clubs on notice by deciding to leave Aston Villa, reports the Mirror .  Tottenham are leading the chase for the 22-year-old, who impressed in the Championship with Villa last season.

City consider £20m Mooy buy-back Manchester City are considering activating Aaron Mooy's £20 million (€23m/$26m) buy-back clause from Huddersfield Town, reports ESPN FC.  City sold Mooy to Huddersfield last summer after he impressed on loan in 2016-17, and the Australia international turned in another strong season with in 2017-18.  That form has City thinking about returning for Mooy, who also has interest from Everton, West Ham United and Southampton. Juventus make €19m Golovin bid Juventus have made a bid of €19 million (£17m/$22m) for CSKA Moscow and Russia star Aleksandr Golovin, according to Calciomercato.com . The 22-year-old desires a move to Turin, but his current side aren't prepared to sell him for less than €25m (£22m/$29m).  Golovin's performances at the World Cup could drive his price up even higher than €25m, with interest from many clubs around Europe.  Gomes wants Valencia return Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes wants to return to Valencia, according to Sport .  After spending two seasons at the Camp Nou, the 24-year-old is not in Barca's plans going forward. Gomes would like to return to the club where he starred from 2014 to 2016, but a move could be complicated by Barca's desire to recoup a large portion of the fee they paid two years ago.  Darmian's agent in talks with Juventus Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian's agent has begun talks with Juventus over a transfer, claims Sky Italia. The 28-year-old's agent has met with Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici, with negotiations currently ongoing.  Darmian joined United from Torino in 2015, and saw his playing time decrease last season after playing a significant role in his first two campaigns at Old Trafford.  No bids for Alisson yet Roma sporting director Monchi has claimed that his club have yet to receive an offer for in-demand goalkeeper Alisson.

    Low applauds Ozil's 'great reaction' to being dropped

    Mesut Ozil produced a "great reaction" to being dropped for Germany's 2-1 win over Sweden and is in contention to start against South Korea on Wednesday, according to Joachim Low. Ozil paid the price for a disappointing display in Germany's surprise 2-0 defeat to Mexico, as Low left him on the bench last Saturday in Sochi. Toni Kroos' last-gasp winner ensured Germany head into their final Group F outing in a much stronger position than had looked likely in a contest in which Die Mannschaft came from behind despite having Jerome Boateng sent off. But Ozil could find himself back in the starting XI in Kazan on Wednesday, with Low praising him for his response to being left out. "After the match against Sweden, Ozil showed a great reaction in training, as I expected from all who didn't play," Low told reporters at the Kazan Arena. "Therefore, all are an option for tomorrow. I think we have 18 players available. Sebastian Rudy won't be able to play, that's still a few days early as he broke his nose in multiple places. "He could have a mask, but that wouldn't make sense. All other 18 players are available aside from Jerome. "[Mats] Hummels is able to play tomorrow [Wednesday], he has trained the last few days and he has no problems." Another Germany player to have been criticised for his performances in Russia is Thomas Muller, and Low saluted his willingness to self-evaluate during a "long chat" they had earlier in the tournament. "After the match against Mexico, we had a long chat and tried to analyse his way of playing with videos," Low added. "He's someone who's very open to comments and someone who's critical of himself. "We spoke of a few things and he knows [his situation]. He's the sort of player who, despite negativity, he looks forward, he keeps a positive attitude and he's very important for us."

    Dortmund splash out on €28 million Diallo as they prepare for Sokratis sale to Arsenal

    Abdou Diallo has become Borussia Dortmund's second-most expensive signing after his arrival from Mainz on a five-year contract was confirmed. Dortmund are understood to have shelled out €28 million (£25m/$33m) to snare the centre-back, eclipsing their outlay for Henrikh Mkhitaryan but falling short of the €30m (£26m/$35m) spent on Andre Schurrle in 2016. Diallo impressed in his solitary season for Mainz, making 30 appearances in all competitions following his arrival from Monaco for a reported fee of just €5m. "After getting to know the Bundesliga at Mainz, I am looking forward to the challenge of being able to prove myself at a club as big as Borussia Dortmund," the 22-year-old said. "Together with my team-mates, I want to justify the trust placed in me and do my part to ensure that BVB achieves its goals in all competitions. "Now I cannot wait to start preparing for the new season under Lucien Favre." Diallo made five appearances in Monaco's triumphant 2016-17 Ligue 1 campaign and has captained France Under-21s. Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said: "Abdou Diallo brings a great deal of what we expect from a defender. "He's a modern, strong and very intelligent centre-back, but he can also play on either side of the defence or be used in defensive midfield. "The combination of his great potential and his versatility made Abdou so interesting for us." Diallo could prove to be a replacement for Greece international Sokratis Papastathopoulos, who is closing in on a switch to Arsenal.
