The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.
AC Milan name their asking price for Rafael Leao
The Rossoneri will only consider transfer offers of around €120 million for Rafael Leao.
The 23-year-old forward drew interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid after his impressive performances last season. AC Milan dismissed inquiries for him at the end of the summer transfer window. Their stance was clear: Leao was not for sale.
Based on this latest report, however, AC Milan would be open to discussions should interested clubs return with a suitable offer in the future. [Calciomercato – in Italian]
Wolves shortlist Costa alternative
Bruno Lage’s side will consider a move for Andy Carroll if a deal for Diego Costa falls apart.
The 33-year-old former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker, like Costa, is available for a free transfer after leaving West Brom at the end of last season. He would qualify as a ‘homegrown’ signing for Wolves.
Costa, meanwhile, has been denied a work permit. The ex-Chelsea man didn’t automatically qualify for one as he hasn’t played a professional football game since December 12, 2021. He is scheduled to do a medical at Wolves on Wednesday. [Telegraph – subscription required]

Mendy rejects Chelsea contract offer
Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has rejected an initial contract renewal offer.
After tying Reece James down to a new long-term deal, Mendy is one of Chelsea’s next priorities. The 30-year-old Senegalese, however, has turned down the first offer. It would’ve earned him less money than the £190,000-per-week deal second-choice Blues keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga enjoys. [Evening Standard]
