Aberdeen FC transfer news as fresh move made for Marko Lazetic with Pape Gueye heading for exit
Aberdeen have tabled a fresh proposal for Marko Lazetic and are also close to netting more than £850,000 for Pape Gueye.
The Dons are in talks with AC Milan over their Serbian under-21 cap.
Their opening bid was turned down as the Serie A giants look to recoup as much of the €4million they paid Red Star in 2022.
The Dons first tried to land the 21-year-old in January, but ran out of time at the end of the window.
They have rekindled their interest in the last week with Lazetic unlikely to make an impact at the San Siro.
Jimmy Thelin is looking to bring in another striker but is likely to be looking for two.
Kasimpasa are closing in on a £850,000 plus move for Gueye.
A deal with the Turkish side has still to be finalised but if the move goes ahead then the Dons will net a fee in excess of €1million, plus further add-ons.
Aberdeen paid Kortrijk a fee of around £500,000 back in 2023. The Belgian side are also due a chunky sell-on but any move would also see the Pittodrie outfit turn a decent profit.
Aberdeen are looking to bring in four new players before the close of the window.

Hearts back up Tony Bloom's bullish talk with opening win over Aberdeen
The Brighton owner, who recently completed a deal to invest in the Edinburgh club, had inadvertently cranked up the pressure on Derek McInnes' side with a string of bold declarations in the 24 hours leading up to their league opener, including stating that he felt they could crack the traditional Old Firm stranglehold in Scotland by finishing in the top two this term. Bloom, who had his name sung by Hearts supporters lapping up his ambitious intentions for their club as he watched on from the main stand, avoided any early egg on his face as the Jambos dug out a deserved victory to move top of the fledgling Premiership table on goal difference. McInnes' men seized the initiative through an early own goal by Dons captain Graeme Shinnie and then overcame a rocky spell after the break to seal their win with a header from Stuart Findlay. McInnes, taking charge of his first league game 11 weeks after being headhunted from Kilmarnock, named summer signings Christian Borchgrevink, Findlay, Oisin McEntee and Claudio Braga in his starting line-up. Tomas Magnusson was on the bench after his transfer from Valur was completed hours before kick-off, and the Icelandic midfielder came on in added time. The Dons, in their first competitive match since winning the Scottish Cup in May, included debutant trio Adil Aouchiche, Kusini Yengi and Nicolas Milanovic in their starting XI. With conditions relatively calm following concerns earlier in the day that the game might fall victim to Storm Floris, Hearts started strongly and made the breakthrough in the 11th minute when Harry Milne's low delivery from the left was turned into the net by the unfortunate Shinnie on his 34th birthday after Dimitar Mitov had made an excellent save to deny McEntee. The hosts had the wind in their sails and almost doubled their lead when Milne smashed a ferocious strike off the bar from the angle of the box. The Dons' only clear chance of the first half came in the 16th minute when Yengi knocked a close-range effort against the post. Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland had a stunning strike ruled out just before the break after team-mates Frankie Kent and Craig Halkett drifted offside in the build-up. Aberdeen started the second half with renewed purpose and Yengi spurned a golden opportunity in the 50th minute before Milanovic saw an effort saved by Zander Clark. McInnes, wary of the Dons' growing threat, made a quadruple substitution and switched from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 in 70th minute. The move seemed to work as the Jambos doubled their advantage within three minutes when Findlay arrived at the back post to nod home from close range after Dons defender Mats Knoester was unable to deal with Milne's inswinging free-kick from the right.

Derek McInnes hopes Tony Bloom enjoyed Hearts' win over Aberdeen
Derek McInnes was delighted Hearts were able to kick off their William Hill Premiership campaign with a 2-0 victory over Aberdeen in front of ambitious new shareholder Tony Bloom. The Brighton owner was at Tynecastle for the first time after recently completing a deal to invest in the Edinburgh club, and he had his name sung by supporters lapping up his bold pre-match declarations that Hearts can win the Scottish title and break into the Champions League. After an early own goal from Dons skipper Graeme Shinnie and a 73rd-minute header from Stuart Findlay sent Hearts top of the fledgling league table, manager McInnes said of Bloom's attendance at the match: 'He'll have loved getting his name sung. I haven't spoken to him yet, I'm meeting him tomorrow. 'We've had a couple of text conversations. I think he would have been encouraged as well, seeing Tynecastle the way it was. I think he would have enjoyed it. He certainly would have enjoyed the result because, as he's said, he just wants to see a winning Hearts team more often than not. That's what we're all wanting.' McInnes smiled wryly when asked about Bloom's bullish comments in the 24 hours leading up to the match, but he said: 'I knew what Tony was going to say, I heard what you guys heard, absolutely no problem with it at all. 'There's so many people, including Tony, who are ambitious and want Hearts to be successful at the club. He's obviously come in with a fresh pair of eyes and came out and shot for exactly what he wants. 'We're trying to make progress and I think we can make progress. Where Tony and others and myself think we can bridge the gap and maybe try and get ahead of others is the confidence they have in the recruitment.' McInnes felt he had 'a team screaming to win the game of football there, absolutely busting'. 'For sheer commitment, guts, effort, I thought we were 10 out of 10,' he said. Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin conceded the better team won. 'We had an idea of how we were going to take on the game today in the first half with the ball, and we didn't succeed in that,' he said. 'Hearts put good pressure on us, and then they win these second balls and create a momentum with the crosses. They were better in the first half. 'I think in the second half we got better with the ball and started creating some chances in their box, but we were not really clinical. We were not really there.'
