Aston Villa have opened negotiations to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, a move that could have implications for Emiliano Martinez’s future at the club. Elsewhere, Arsenal have been told what it will take to land Victor Osimhen, and Manchester City are pursuing a teenage midfield talent.
The Japan international, aged 23, had been expected to join Paris St Germain, but that transfer fell through, and now Villa are in talks with Parma over a deal, according to Talksport. The same source indicates that Villa’s pursuit of Suzuki has increased Juventus’ optimism about signing Emiliano Martinez, the 33 year old Argentina goalkeeper, from the Premier League club, as reported by Football Italia.
Arsenal will need to table an offer exceeding £60 million if they want to sign Victor Osimhen this summer. The Nigeria striker, aged 27, is currently with Galatasaray, and Football Insider reports that any bid below that mark will not be enough.
Barcelona believe their third offer for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, worth 70 million euros, which is about £59.8 million, will convince the Premier League champions to sell the 30 year old Spain international. Spanish outlet AS reports that Barcelona are confident the improved bid will be accepted.
Manchester City are in negotiations to sign Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, according to The Telegraph. The French club are demanding at least £85 million for the 18 year old, who has attracted widespread attention with his performances.

Inter Milan are prepared to sell Brazilian winger Luis Henrique, aged 24, in order to raise funds for a move for Liverpool’s Curtis Jones. The 25 year old England midfielder is expected to cost around 40 million euros, approximately £34 million, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Chelsea have set a £60 million asking price for Nicolas Jackson, with Aston Villa, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid among the clubs interested in the 25 year old Senegal striker, as reported by RMC Sport. Meanwhile, Chelsea forward Liam Delap, 23, wants to remain in the Premier League despite interest from Italian club Como. Talksport reports that Newcastle and Everton are monitoring the Englishman’s situation.
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has reportedly told the club he wants to leave and join Tottenham. The 27 year old Netherlands international’s stance is detailed by Teamtalk. Finally, Benfica are interested in Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. The 28 year old Englishman is a target for the Portuguese club, according to Caught Offside.
These are the latest transfer rumours circulating in Sunday’s newspapers. As with all speculation, deals remain subject to negotiations and official announcements.
