PSG's pursuit of Lucas Chevalier hits stumbling block
According to a report from L'Équipe, Lille warned PSG during negotiations that they would only sanction a departure for the France international once they had signed his replacement. The club are keen to avoid a similar scenario to when Mike Maignan left for AC Milan, which saw Léo Jardim and Ivo Grbić fail to fill the void.
Lille have made multiple approaches in the last few days, but appear to have missed out on Robin Roefs (22), who is close to joining Sunderland AFC. However, the Dutch U21 reportedly was not at the top of Lille's shortlist, which also includes Toulouse FC's Guillaume Restes, Olympique de Marseille's Jeffrey de Lange, and Tottenham Hotspur's Antonín Kinský.

Liverpool on brink of stunning Alexander Isak BARGAIN
Liverpool are reportedly moving forward on a move for Alexander Isak. And it would be a bargain. The whole world knows Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. What we don't all know is exactly how likely that is. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Isak certainly wants to move and that's one part of it. Newcastle United, though, understandably don't want to sell. But it sounds like Liverpool are making some sort of progress. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany claims there's an actual agreement with Isak on terms. "Understand: Alexander Isak has already reached a verbal agreement in principle with Liverpool over a contract running until 2031," he wrote on Twitter. But there's a more interesting part of his tweet. One we didn't see coming and that suggests the Reds may be banking a bargain here. Alexander Isak agrees terms Plettenberg claims Isak will earn a similar wage to Hugo Ekitike on moving to Anfield. That's a surprise, given Isak's reputation far exceeds that of the Frenchman. Now, Sky Germany have previously reported that Ekitike will earn around £245k per week at Liverpool. If Isak truly is earning similar, that's drastically down on the £300k per week he's reportedly asking from Newcastle right now (Talksport). The ultimate transfer fee will not be a cheap one, of course. Liverpool would likely break the British record in order to sign Isak.

Fulham striker among Atalanta's options to replace Retegui
Tolu Arokodare, Rodrigo Muniz and Nikola Krstovic are among Atalanta's targets to replace Italy international Mateo Retegui. Atalanta are still looking for replacements for Italy forward Retegui, who completed a €65m transfer to Al Qadsiah just a few days ago. Three Atalanta targets to replace Retegui GENOA, ITALY – MAY 17: Mateo Retegui of Atalanta reacts during the Serie A match between Genoa and Atalanta at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on May 17, 2025 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Fulham forward Muniz is among Atalanta's options to replace the latest Serie A top goalscorer. BERGAMO, ITALY – FEBRUARY 04: Mateo Retegui of Atalanta BC competes for the ball with Sam Beukema of Bologna FC during the Coppa Italia, Quarter Final match between Atalanta BC and Bologna FC at Gewiss Stadium on February 04, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) La Dea's priority remains Genk forward Arokodare, but it's a pretty tricky deal, so it's not guaranteed that the Nerazzurri will actually finalise it. Chiesa could replace Lookman at Atalanta ROME, ITALY – NOVEMBER 17: Gianluigi Donnarumma and Federico Chiesa of Italy celebrate the win at the end of the UEFA EURO 2024 European qualifier match between Italy and North Macedonia at Stadio Olimpico on November 17, 2023 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) Lecce star Krstovic is another name being discussed at the Gewiss Stadium. The Montenegro international is expected to leave this summer after scoring 19 goals in 54 appearances across his two-year spell at the Via del Mare. In the meantime, Atalanta are also in talks with Inter over Ademola Lookman's sale and, as I revealed last week, Federico Chiesa is seen as a possible replacement for the Nigerian forward.

Serie A and Premier League Giants Courting Parma Talent
Parma have been able to keep hold of Giovanni Leoni so far, even though most of the top Italian sides have pursued him. The going is about to get rougher for the Ducali. A few English clubs have taken notice of the talent as well, Fabrizio Romano reports (via Calciomercato). Inter, Juventus, and Milan have all inquired at some point. The Nerazzurri did it with the most conviction. The Gialloblù repelled them by setting a €40M price tag. The powerhouses will try again but also need to sell some players in the same role first. Parma are bracing for offers from England, in particular from Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Tottenham. The bids could come closer to their request in this case. The Emilian club is poised for a massive profit, as they acquired him for €5M from Sampdoria last summer. The decision by the 18-year-old will be pivotal in determining his future. He'll ask to transfer only to a team that guarantees him a starting job. He aims to become a fixture for Italy as well. Our Take on Leoni While he's been brilliant last season, the sample size might be too small for other Serie A sides to make such a large splash, even though, if all goes well, he'll be a linchpin for 15 years. Plus, he can still be molded for any position or style of defense. It'd be best for him to spend another year where he is to further grow in a comfortable situation, but his valuation is already substantial enough to justify a sale. A smart outfit that's not in a hurry would acquire him now and send him back on loan.
