Report: Chelsea superstar facing uncertain future is linked to Barcelona
In a recent report by Mundo Deportivo, it has been revealed that Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is now being linked with a move to Barcelona. It is to be noted that with Chelsea recently splashing over €90 million on new attacking signings, namely, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, the London club is reportedly open to offloading some of their current forwards. As such, Jackson, who previously impressed at Villarreal, appears to be one of the names on that list. The Senegalese striker, who joined Chelsea in 2023, now finds himself falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. With limited opportunities and fierce competition for places, he is said to be exploring options outside the Premier League. A return to LaLiga could be an ideal scenario for him, especially since he's already familiar with the Spanish top flight thanks to his time at Villarreal. Barcelona keeping a close eye Nicolas Jackson is linked to Barcelona. (Photo by) Barcelona, meanwhile, have been monitoring the situation. Although the club is not actively pursuing new signings, as confirmed recently by club president Joan Laporta, the possibility of a strategic move for Jackson has been floated. The idea is that he could join Barça now and spend the season learning under the guidance of Robert Lewandowski, who is currently in the final year of his contract. With recent rumours linking Lewandowski to a possible move to Saudi Arabia, Jackson's name has naturally gained traction. Though a move may still be unlikely under the current financial limitations and Laporta's stance, Jackson fits the profile of a long-term project. He is young, physically gifted, and already used to La Liga's demands, which is an advantage that could make his transition seamless. While the idea remains distant for now, the door is not entirely closed. Jackson learning from one of the best strikers of this generation while adapting to Barça's system could be a shrewd investment for the future.

Liverpool move closer to midfielder deal with contract ALREADY agreed
Liverpool are in the middle of conducting somewhat of a summer clearout. Having spent around £260m on new arrivals, sporting director Richard Hughes is now busy finding buyers for the Reds' available players. We've seen Luis Diaz leave the club after three-and-a-half years - joining Bayern Munich for around £65m. He joins Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher and Nat Phillips as Liverpool departures this summer - but the selling won't end there. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now If Liverpool are going to add Alexander Isak and - perhaps - a new centre-back then further outgoing deals could be required. Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic, Federico Chiesa and Ben Doak are among those players being considered for sale - while Tyler Morton could also bring in some very useful income. Morton attracting transfer interest The 22-year-old admitted following the Reds' preseason defeat to AC Milan that he would be looking for more minutes in the season upcoming. But with Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo ahead of him in the Anfield pecking order it is going to be difficult. England under-21 international Morton has reportedly caught the eye of Ajax and West Ham - and now a new suitor has come forward for the homegrown midfielder. Lyon agree contract with Morton According to L'Equipe in France, Lyon have ALREADY agreed terms with Morton over the terms of a contract. We can take it as an indication that Morton would be willing to move to the Ligue 1 team - who narrowly avoided relegation due to their financial problems. However, those same financial limitations could yet scupper Morton's move to the French league. Because the same report claims that Lyon are reluctant to meet Liverpool's asking price - said to be €9m excluding bonuses. © IMAGO

'Dons agree fee for Gueye sale amid Lazetic bid'

(Sky Sports) Aberdeen have tabled a fresh proposal for 21-year-old forward Marko Lazetic after AC Milan rejected their initial offer as the Serie A club look to recoup much of the £3m they paid Red Star in 2022.
