The summer transfer window is heating up with major moves on the horizon, headlined by a late twist in Mohamed Salah's post-Liverpool journey.
The 34-year-old Egyptian forward is reportedly on the verge of signing with Turkish outfit Trabzonspor. The move comes as a surprise, as Salah had previously reached a verbal agreement to join domestic rivals Besiktas following his departure from Anfield.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are looking to the Premier League to bolster their attacking options. The Bundesliga giants are targeting Manchester United's 23-year-old Slovenian striker, Benjamin Sesko. According to reports, Bayern management believe securing Sesko would allow 33-year-old Harry Kane to drop into a deeper, playmaking role for the upcoming campaign.
In domestic moves, Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is exploring a high-profile reunion with Chelsea winger Pedro Neto. City are allegedly weighing up a £70 million bid to bring the 26-year-old Portuguese international to the Etihad.
Over in North London, Arsenal could be welcoming defensive reinforcements. Aston Villa and England centre-back Ezri Konsa, 28, is reportedly eager to make a move to the Gunners.
A fierce bidding war is also brewing for Atalanta's highly-rated 22-year-old defender, Giorgio Scalvini. Newcastle United are preparing to table an initial £34 million offer, though Atalanta currently values the Italian at £42 million. The Magpies will have to fend off intense competition from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur if they hope to secure his signature.
Finally, Liverpool's 25-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones is ready to push for a move to Italy. Inter Milan recently had a £21 million (€25m) offer rejected by the Merseyside club, but talks are ongoing. A compromise of around £30 million is expected to be reached, which would meet Liverpool's valuation of the England international.
