Bayern Munich made a new offer for Tottenham’s Harry Kane on Sunday. However, the second offer of €80 million is likely to be rejected by Spurs. The England captain has apparently decided to move to the Allianz Arena. However, Spurs will probably demand an even bigger fee for the Englishman, who is set to become a free agent next summer.
Last week, the north London club had already rejected Bayern’s first offer of 70 million euros plus add-ons. However, the Bundesliga giants are hoping to keep up the pressure as they remain optimistic of completing the deal.
Meanwhile, another top striker who was linked with Real Madrid at the height of his career, Mauri Icardi, is set to leave Galatasaray permanently. The Argentine will join the Turkish club until June 2026, with PSG pocketing a fee of €10 million.
Manchester City have scheduled a new round of negotiations with RB Leipzig for Josko Gvardiol. City’s initial offer of €75 million (plus add-ons) was rejected by the Bundesliga club, who are hoping for a fee of €100 million. Negotiations should take place this week.
Arsenal’s transfer for Jurrien Timber should be confirmed this week. After a successful medical, the player’s brother shared an image of Timber in an Arsenal shirt on his Instagram, almost confirming the completion of the deal. North London rivals Spurs are also expected to sign their third summer signing, Manor Solomon, who will undergo medical tests in London on Monday.
In Italy, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic could leave the club this summer. PSG is monitoring the situation. Chelsea and Bayern are also interested, but neither has opened negotiations. One player who won’t be leaving Juve this summer is Paul Pogba, who reportedly turned down a chance to join clubs in Saudi Arabia.
The Frenchman was recently spotted in Saudi Arabia, but still has no intention of leaving Juventus. On the other hand, Paulo Dybala has also confirmed that he is ready to start pre-season with AS Roma, almost confirming that he should stay.
