AC Milan revive talks for midfield target Javi Guerra
Milan's pursuit of Guerra was at a standstill after their offer worth €20 million was turned down by the La Liga club.
The Rossoneri shifted their focus towards Club Brugge's Ardon Jashari, but their offers haven't matched the Belgian club's valuation. A deal for the Swiss star is on the verge of falling through.
Therefore, Milan have revived their interest in Guerra. They are working to secure personal terms with the Spaniard before proceeding with talks with Valencia.
They are confident of securing the midfielder's green light due to the lack of a concrete renewal offer from Valencia, something they had promised Guerra's entourage after a positive meeting.
Guerra's situation could also interest Premier League giants Manchester United, who have been keeping tabs on him this summer.
The Mestalla graduate has stood out for Valencia in their difficult times, rising in stature as one of La Liga's most promising midfield talents.
The 22-year-old has featured in 89 games for Che, netting eight goals and four assists. He was also part of the Spanish national team that reached the quarter-finals of the U-21 European Championship last month.
Guerra is an all-action midfielder who excels in ball-carrying and attacks the box frequently to take more shots. His physicality and reading of the game help him stand out defensively.
Having signed Samuele Ricci and Luka Modric, Milan are looking for more midfield reinforcements in this window.
Meanwhile, they are planning to offload Yunus Musah, however, Napoli's talks to sign the United States midfielder have collapsed.
The Rossoneri are also prioritising a new striker, identifying Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund as a potential target.

Tottenham receive a major boost ahead of their UEFA Super Cup final clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
The absence of an important player from Paris Saint-Germain will help Tottenham. Getty Images The sports community is eagerly awaiting the final match between 2024-25 Champions League champions Paris Saint-Germain and Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur. Prior to this crucial encounter, Tottenham received reports that 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was unlikely to feature in the final between the two teams. The Italian played a major role in helping the team reach the Champions League final last season, making outstanding saves against Arsenal, Aston Villa, and other matches. What is the reason for this absence of the Italian? The player faces numerous rumors about his future with Paris Saint-Germain, given that he only has one year left on his contract with the club. There are conflicting reports about his desire to leave and not renew his contract, while his name is receiving considerable attention from English clubs, most notably Manchester United. Manchester United have emerged as serious contenders for Gianluigi Donnarumma's signature, with Andre Onana struggling to cement his place since joining the club. The Red Devils' interest comes after Tottenham's Europa League triumph over them in May. Meanwhile, PSG appear to have proactively addressed their goalkeeping situation by securing Lille's rising star Lucas Chevalier in a €40 million deal. The 23-year-old shot-stopper has committed his future to the Parisian club until 2029 and could make his debut against Spurs. This move potentially paves the way for Donnarumma's departure from the French champions.

Spain announce replacement for outgoing manager following Euros performance
Spain have announced that manager Montse Tome will not be continuing in charge of La Roja, after almost two years in charge. Tome was the first women to take charge of the national team. Tome took over the Spain job from predecessor Jorge Vilda, who she was assistant manager to for six years, sharing her duties with the Spain under-17 side. After Vilda was dismissed following the 2023 World Cup victory. Last year, Tome guided La Roja to the 2024 Nations League title, but could not get them over the line against England in the Euros this summer, with La Roja losing out on penalties. Out of contract at the end of the month, the RFEF announced they would not be renewing her deal. Sonia Bermudez to take over from Tome Another former Barcelona player, Sonia Bermudez, who also turned out for Spain, Rayo Vallecano, Levante, Atletico Madrid and Wester New York Flash during her career. As a coach, she began in the youth ranks at Real Madrid, before taking over the Spain under-19 job, followed by the under-20 position and then the under-23s. She will be assisted by Basque coach Iraia Iturregi, who won four league titles with Athletic in 15 seasons as a player. She has also coached at Athletic through the ranks, and spent time as an assistant to the title-winning CD Baskonia in the men's Tercera in 2024-25, another affiliate of Athletic. How will Tome's tenure be viewed? Image via EFE Despite never placing worse than in a final over her two years, Tome has been a lightning rod for criticism since taking over. Under early suspicion for her links to the previous regime with Vilda, and applauding Luis Rubiales infamous speech to the RFEF, Spain struggled to find fluidity for large parts of the biggest games. At Euro 2025, La Roja were widely believed to have the best squad, but unconvincing changes and a loss of control a goal up in the final saw the finger of blame pointed at Tome. Tome commented that she was 'proud' and 'grateful' to the team, her bosses and the staff. She also noted that she leaves the job 'happy and in peace'.
