Milan Examining Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen Stars
The Swiss international has just a year left on his contract and wouldn't mind a change of scenery after three solid seasons at Monaco. Director Igli Tare is gauging whether the forward can be lured away for a relatively meager sum and if he's the right guy to add to their frontline. He has tallied 22 goals and 13 assists in 89 matches with the Ligue 1 franchise. He previously starred for Basel, Schalke 04, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Embolo figures to be a more affordable target for Milan than Boniface, who could be on his way out at Bayer Leverkusen, Corriere dello Sport informs (via PressReader). His price tag decreased because he had a tough year injury-wise, but it's still substantial. Die Aspirin, which almost sold him to Saudi Arabia in January, demand €40/45M.
The Rossoneri have also inquired about Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, they are closely monitoring the rift between Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic. However, they would sign him only for very cheap and if he agreed to slash his current salary in half.
Our Take on Milan Eyeing Embolo and Boniface
It's not their main priority, as they have an okay starter already. In terms of traits, somebody like Boniface would be more complementary to Gimenez if they aim to have a well-assorted attack, but they'll probably make only a mid-sized investment there.

Jean-Philippe Mateta price revealed as star interested in a move
Manchester United have learned the asking price of one of their top striker targets. Frustrating search The Red Devils have spent all summer searching for a striker to take over starting responsibilities from Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. United were originally linked to Liam Delap but he opted for a move to Chelsea. Viktor Gyokeres has agreed to go to Arsenal and Victor Osimhen seems like he will be on his way to Galatasaray. United target Jean-Philippe Mateta Another player that Ruben Amorim's side have been linked with is Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. It was thought that the forward may want to stay at Palace to help them in Europe but this may have changed after they were demoted to the Conference League. AC Milan interest It has already been reported that Serie A sides Juventus and AC Milan carry an interest in the player but according to French outlet L'Equipe, Milan have made their first steps to sign him. The paper states that 'in search of a striker, AC Milan is interested in Crystal Palace's Frenchman, Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is under contract in England until 2027.' It is suggested that his involvement with the French national team in the Olympics has given him the hunger to be involved in the World Cup squad next summer. The forward reportedly 'has formed the conviction that this could possibly involve a move away from Crystal Palace this summer, as he aspires to join a more prestigious club.' Consequently, Mateta is 'reportedly attracted by the prospect of working under Massimiliano Allegri' and the Italian giants have 'taken concrete steps' to sign the player. Valuation problematic for Milan, could United swoop? The French paper state that there is a fly in the ointment for Milan and that is that 'the English club's asking price—over €30 million has reportedly put off the Lombardy club, whose budget is limited.' United were prepared to spend a similar amount on Delap, so if Mateta is truly available for this price, it could be an attractive and affordable proposition for the Red Devils. He was on fire last season for Palace, scoring 17 goals in all competitions as he helped his side win the FA Cup. Feature image Michael Regan via Getty Images Follow us on Bluesky: @

Report: Liverpool enter talks over £85m-rated forward amid Newcastle interest
Liverpool Target Hugo Ekitike Amid Rival Newcastle Interest Reds Launch Talks with Eintracht Frankfurt Liverpool have officially opened discussions with Eintracht Frankfurt for French striker Hugo Ekitike, as reported by Sky Sports News. The Merseyside club's move comes hot on the heels of Newcastle United's rejected £70m bid for the 23-year-old, signalling the start of what could be a fierce transfer battle. The Reds have turned their attention to Ekitike after being informed that Newcastle's Alexander Isak is not for sale this summer. Sky Sports News confirmed: 'Liverpool have moved for Ekitike after being told Alexander Isak is not for sale in this window.' The Swedish international has long been admired by the Anfield hierarchy, but Newcastle have placed a minimum £150m valuation on their star man, effectively closing the door on any summer approach. Ekitike's Bundesliga Rise and Transfer Price Ekitike has had a well-travelled journey, initially rejecting a Premier League move to Newcastle in 2022 in favour of Paris Saint-Germain. But after limited opportunities in France, he was sold to Frankfurt for £14m last summer. Now, after just one season in Germany, Frankfurt have rebuffed Newcastle's latest £70m offer, with the Bundesliga side reportedly holding out for £85m. 'Sky Sports News reported on Tuesday that Frankfurt rejected Newcastle's formal £70m bid for Ekitike, with the Bundesliga club valuing the striker at £85m.' Newcastle, for their part, remain in the hunt, having held talks with Ekitike's representatives in Austria on Monday. Their continued interest highlights just how highly the forward is regarded, and Liverpool's entry into the race could complicate things for Eddie Howe's side. Market Dynamics Could Dictate Ekitike's Future With Ekitike valued at £85m, the decision now lies with Liverpool's recruitment team. Are they willing to meet Frankfurt's asking price? Or will Newcastle, stung by their 2022 rejection, push harder to finally secure the player? Photo IMAGO As Sky Sports News rightly highlights, 'The Reds have been scoping out the market all summer for possible centre-forward options, establishing availability and price,' and Ekitike's profile ticks many of the right boxes for a modern Liverpool No.9 Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Liverpool fan's perspective, this interest in Hugo Ekitike could be seen as a promising yet calculated gamble. At just 23, the Frenchman offers a blend of youth, athleticism, and technical skill, all of which suit Arne Slot's system. However, shelling out £85m for a player who struggled for minutes at PSG and only has two full Bundesliga campaign under his belt might raise some eyebrows. The comparison to Alexander Isak is inevitable. While Isak has proven his pedigree in the Premier League with Newcastle, Ekitike is still a work in progress. That said, Liverpool have had success with forwards arriving from less-hyped backgrounds before — think of the early days of Diogo Jota or even Sadio Mané. There's also a strategic dimension to this move. Blocking a key target for Newcastle, who are direct top-four rivals, makes competitive sense. But the Reds must avoid being drawn into a bidding war unless Ekitike is truly viewed as a long-term successor to Darwin Núñez or part of a tactical reshuffle. Ultimately, if Liverpool's recruitment team see the same high ceiling Frankfurt clearly do — and if they can negotiate a fee below £85m — Ekitike could be a smart addition to the squad. The risk lies in the price tag and expectation, but the potential upside? Huge.

Red Room reacts as Liverpool pursue Isak and assess Diaz sale
Liverpool Eyeing Isak as Diaz Future Uncertain: Red Room Reacts As Liverpool gear up for another season under Arne Slot, the buzz from The Red Room podcast is impossible to ignore. Grizz Khan returned to hosting duties this week alongside regulars Mo, Lewis, Ben and Mike, all sharing passionate takes on the Reds' transfer moves, their emotional return to football and a potential record-breaking swoop for Alexander Isak. Isak on the Horizon The biggest talking point? Liverpool's concrete interest in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, with reports suggesting the club are willing to smash their transfer record to sign the Swedish international. Mike summed up the mood perfectly: 'I think we do sign him. I have a really… eternal optimism.' The panel agreed that the pursuit of Isak is more than speculation. Grizz claimed, 'We broke it on Red Room… we will make a bid and target Isak.' Mo was similarly excited, stating: 'Isak is proven. Premier League. 20 goals the last two seasons now.' And crucially, Grizz added, 'Are we really the disorganised Liverpool of the last 18 months? We're not. We're back.' Even Lewis, who said it was never 'Isak or bust,' admitted: 'If we get Isak, there is no doubt in my mind that he will be a bona fide first-team, 20 to 25 goal-a-season striker.' Diaz: Stay or Go? The emotional tug-of-war over Luis Diaz continued throughout the episode. While some fans remain attached to the Colombian winger, the consensus is shifting. Mo gave a measured view: 'If I put the business hat on… you're letting 70 million walk out the door in a couple of years. I think he's going to go.' Lewis added: 'If the money's right and they come in with a slightly increased bid, I will not lose sleep over losing him.' Ben revealed insight from journalist Pipe Sierra: 'Diaz ideally wants to stay, but if he's not getting the contract he wants, he's likely to leave.' Mike was blunt about the contract debate: 'You deserve a contract extension if the contract you're looking for makes sense… I don't think Diaz deserves to be on a similar wage to what a star striker would be on.' Rodrigo as Diaz's Replacement? Should Diaz depart, the name most frequently linked is Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid. The panel was largely in favour of the Brazilian stepping in. Mike highlighted: 'He'd cause absolute chaos in the Prem. I was concerned when Arsenal were linked with him.' Lewis offered a stat-based argument: 'Top 21% for key passes, top 30 for progressive passes. He's one of the most creatively gifted players from a progressive play perspective.' Ben was on board too: 'If we're going to get Isak, there's absolutely no chance [we're getting Gordon]. So Rodrigo would be my pick.' Still, Grizz had his own view, saying: 'Gordon would torch the Premier League.' But he accepted the reality: 'The chances of us getting Gordon and Isak are zero.'
