The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.

Chelsea ready to launch a bid for Lukaku

The European champions are ready to re-sign Romelu Lukaku in the summer transfer window.

Despite interest in Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, Chelsea view Lukaku as their ‘most realistic target’. The Inter Milan striker’s representatives are aware of the interest from his former club.

But while a cash-strapped Inter are holding out for a £100 million fee, Chelsea hope to re-sign Lukaku for less money. [Mail]

Juventus to begin contract talks with Dybala

The newly re-appointed Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri wants to tie down Paulo Dybala’s future.

Therefore, Juventus plan to hold fresh contract talks with Dybala. The 27-year-old’s current deal expires in June 2022, meaning he can leave Turin next summer as a free agent.

Juventus had reportedly considered cashing in on Dybala previously, but Allegri wants him to stay. [Goal]

Xhaka flattered by Mourinho and Roma interest

Granit Xhaka is ‘proud’ to have struck interest from new Roma manager Jose Mourinho.

But the Arsenal midfielder claims to be fully focused on this summer’s European Championship with Switzerland and, therefore, isn’t considering his future right now.

Morata to continue at Juventus

The Bianconeri have decided to spend another €10 million to extend Alvaro Morata’s loan deal from Atletico Madrid.
