The summer transfer window in Europe may not open for a while, but the rumour mill is already in full swing with potential moves and deals being discussed. Chelsea is eyeing Napoli forward Victor Osimhen as a key target for their attacking lineup this summer. The 25-year-old has been in fine form, scoring 11 goals in just 17 Serie A appearances this season, following up on an impressive 2022-23 campaign where he netted 31 goals across all competitions. Osimhen, under contract with Napoli until December 2026, seems poised to leave the Italian club this summer. Reports suggest that Chelsea is keen on securing his services and is willing to meet his release clause, pending negotiations with Napoli.
Paris Saint-Germain is also reportedly interested in Osimhen, adding to the competition for his signature. Meanwhile, Liverpool is considering a move for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, with the Championship club potentially lowering their asking price if they face relegation due to financial constraints.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Inter Miami CF and LA Galaxy are keeping tabs on Atletico Madrid midfielder Axel Witsel, who could be on the move this summer as his contract with the Spanish club expires. AC Milan has set its sights on Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyökeres, but the high asking price may prove to be a stumbling block for the Serie A side.
In the Premier League, Aston Villa is in talks to sign Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Villa has reportedly offered the Spanish centre-back a contract until 2028, as they look to bolster their defensive options for the upcoming campaign.
