ANGLIA
Liverpool: Last week, Liverpool rejected al-Ittihad’s 150 million pound bid for Mohamed Salah, but according to English press reports, the Saudis are still not giving up and at the weekend the club’s representatives traveled to England to make one last attempt to acquire the Egyptian forward. At Pool, they have already stated that they are not willing to part with Salah, but the Saudis are severely testing the Reds’ determination, as they are reportedly preparing to make an offer of 200 million pounds – that is, roughly 234 million euros – which would be a world record, since the largest amount so far, PSG paid 222 million euros for Neymar back in 2017. In Saudi Arabia, the transfer period lasts until September 7, so the Salah case will definitely be closed by Thursday at the latest. (Goal)
Chelsea: In January, they will try to sign one-time England striker Ivan Toney from Brentford, who is currently serving an 8-month ban after breaking betting rules on 262 occasions according to the FA, which will expire in January 2024. (Evening Standard)
Arsenal: Even though the transfer period has already ended in England and Turkey, according to the news, there is a good chance that Arsenal will terminate the contract of the Ivorian forward, Nicolas Pépé, and the 28-year-old player can continue his career at Besiktas. (L’Equipe)
Tottenham: The 7-time French national team midfielder Tanguy Ndombélé can go on loan to Galatasaray, and the Turks will also have an option to buy him, who would also buy the Colombian defender Davinson Sánchez. The transfer period in Turkey lasts until August 15. (Sky Sports)
SPAIN
Real Madrid: An offer of 40 million euros has reportedly been received from Saudi Al-Ittihad for David Alaba. According to Defensa Central, the Austrian defender would be worth 25 million euros per year, but it is rumored that the player, who may have an even more important role than before due to the serious injury of Éder Militao, will not change for such a salary.
Barcelona: According to Marca, the club and Xavi Hernandez have agreed a new contract that will keep the head coach in his position until the summer of 2026. Although, according to the newspaper, there is no date for when the signing or the announcement will take place, the terms are said to have already been agreed, and all that remains to be done is to arrange the details between Deco’s sporting director and Xavi’s agent.
Atletico Madrid: It is certain that the winger of the Belgian national team, Yannick Carrasco, will also move to Saudi Arabia and become a player for Al-Shabab. The 30-year-old player would not have played in the match against Sevilla at the weekend if the match had not been canceled due to extreme weather, after Diego Simeone revealed before the match that Carrasco wanted to leave. According to Marca, the winger will not return to the Madras after the national team break, but will join the Saudi team.
Sevilla: Sergio Ramos will continue his career at Sevilla, the defending champion in the football Europa League. The signing of the 37-year-old world and European champion defender has not yet been officially announced by the Andalusian team, because he is still awaiting the mandatory medical examination, but the player wrote in his press release: he is happy to be able to return. Ramos is a footballer who grew up in Seville and was signed by Real Madrid in 2005, of which he was later team captain. Having played for Paris Saint-Germain for the past two seasons, he has now reportedly turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey to return to his parent club, which does not have to pay a transfer fee. The four-time Champions League winner and five-time Spanish champion defender is expected to sign an extra one-year contract with record seven-time El-winners Sevilla, who are currently bottom of La Liga without a point.

ITALY
AS Roma: According to Italian press reports, there was a very tense shouting match between head coach José Mourinho and the players in the dressing room after the defeat against AC Milan. The Portuguese did not speak to the media after the meeting, and according to Radio Radio, this was because he was still angry after a very tense dressing room conversation. The source claims that this was not just a one-way attack from Mourinho towards his players, but that the team responded by demanding more tactical ideas to improve their style of play.
Genoa: They can sign the talented defender Faroukou Cissé, who left Borussia Dortmund. The 19-year-old German youth national team player is free to transfer, so he can change clubs even after the end of the transfer window. (Goal Italy)
