Juventus have already signed Jonathan David as a free agent this summer, but are planning to sell Dusan Vlahovic as his contract expires in June 2026.
This means the Bianconeri will need another centre-forward for 2025-26, and Kolo Muani remains their main target after seeing him score 10 goals in 22 appearances last season.

Transfer news, rumors: Sesko to Manchester United; Garnacho to Chelsea
It appears that Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United could happen, while the door has been left wide open for Alejandro Garnacho to depart Old Trafford with Chelsea a possible destination. MORE — Every in and out for all 20 Premier League clubs this summer Below is the latest on two talented young forwards who are on the hunt for a new home. Manchester United talks for Benjamin Sesko continue The latest reports regarding Manchester United signing Benjamin Sesko focus on talks restarting between RB Leipzig and United. Per a report from David Ornstein, United remain in talks with Leipzig but are yet to bid for Sesko. A report from Sky Germany says that Sesko's agents arrived in Leipzig on Saturday and have held talks over the last few days. Fabrizio Romano has also said that United will bid for Sesko but only if he indicates he would like to join the Red Devils. All of this comes after Newcastle bid over $92 million for Sesko, as they could lose Alexander Isak to Liverpool so want to line up Sesko as his replacement. However, there are various reports out there saying that Sesko would prefer a move to Manchester United and that is obviously what is being discussed this weekend, as their appears to be doubts from Leipzig about the structure of Newcastle's deal. Sesko has options and Newcastle can offer him Champions League action this season and he will be crucial for them up top. But can you say no to being a key part of Ruben Amorim's rebuild of Manchester United? Despite all of their recent struggles, the pull of Manchester United remains (almost) as strong as ever. Alejandro Garnacho linked with Chelsea as Ruben Amorim opens door for exit It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Alejandro Garnacho is keen on a move from Manchester United to Chelsea, as talks have taken place on personal terms but the clubs are yet to discuss the deal. And these latest comments from Ruben Amorim appear to confirm the Argentine winger will be leaving Old Trafford this summer. "You can understand and you can see he's a really talented boy and sometimes things don't work out," Amorim said. "You cannot explain specifically what it is. But I have the feeling, I think it's clear that Garnacho wants a different thing with a different leadership and I can understand that. So I think it's not a problem. Sometimes you adapt to one guy, you have the connection. Other times, you want a new challenge so we try to make everything okay to all the parts. To the club, to the coach and to the players. It's a natural thing in football." Chelsea have already signed some very talented attackers this summer (Estevao, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, so far) to add to their incredible array of talents, but Garnacho seems like the obvious replacement for Noni Madueke as he was sold to Arsenal. Garnacho would suit Enzo Maresca's style of play well, especially his ability on the counter and to cut inside, and he does have a clinical edge which Chelsea need more of.

Ajax and Birmingham City agree Akpom loan
According to Voetbal International's Tim van Duijn, Birmingham City will sign Chuba Akpom on loan from Ajax with a permanent option if the club go up to the Premier League. Akpom was acquired from Middlesbrough in 2023 for around 12 million euros, but never fully took off at Ajax. The striker was useful as a super-sub and found praise for his unwavering commitment. However, he is a high earner and was therefore at the top of the list to leave. Although Ajax preferred to sell Akpom, that wasn't feasible in the short term. By loaning him out, Ajax still saves a significant amount on wages. Birmingham City will also pay a loan fee. Last season, Akpom spent time on loan at Lille, where he scored three goals in 14 Ligue 1 games. Akpom is already on his way to England to complete his transfer to Birmingham City – who were promoted to the Championship last season. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Patriots draft bust makes highlight reel catch at Chiefs practice
Former New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton is making an impact in training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs. Fans have been buzzing about his incredible corner end zone reception on a throw from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at a recent practice. Mahomes threw a perfect corner pass behind the defender, and Thornton went up to get the ball, while also making sure to tap both toes inbounds before falling out. The Patriots selected Thornton in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. He had a disappointing run with the team and was ultimately released last November. In the same month, he signed with the Chiefs' practice squad. He also signed a reserve/future contract with the team in February. Thornton has 39 receptions for 385 yards and two touchdowns during his three-year NFL career. It looks like he's off to a good start with the Chiefs to change the narrative surrounding his name after a failed run in New England. There is still plenty of time for him to turn things around considering he is only 24 years old. Thornton has solid physical abilities, most notably his height and speed. He could have an opportunity to thrive in one of the most explosive offensive systems in the league. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
