Chelsea enter talks to sign €90m Bundesliga star
The Blues have made a move to sign RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol for €90 million (£77m) before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has said Gvardiol is not for sale, but Chelsea’s loan offer has apparently convinced the Bundesliga club to consider it. [Daily Mail]

Depay looks set to stay at Barcelona
Memphis Depay looks more likely than ever to stay at Barcelona.
Despite being linked with an exit for most of the summer, Depay remains at Camp Nou. The forward had been in talks with Juventus, but they didn’t bear any fruit. The Italian club instead signed Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik on loan from Marseille.
Depay, who will be out of contract next summer, hasn’t played in any of Barcelona’s three LaLiga games this season. [Diario Sport – in Spanish]
Brighton want to sign Gilmour from Chelsea

As Brighton have already signed Levi Colwill on loan from Chelsea, Graham Potter’s side would need to make Gilmour a permanent signing. [Daily Mail]
