The summer transfer window is in full swing across Europe, with numerous clubs making moves to strengthen their squads. One of the latest transfer developments involves former Manchester United centre-back Raphaël Varane, who has reportedly agreed to join Como on a free transfer. Varane, who became a free agent after leaving Old Trafford, is set to undergo a medical once the final details of his contract are sorted out.
Como coach Cesc Fabregas played a pivotal role in convincing Varane to join the Serie A side, who are also closing in on deals for left-back Alberto Moreno and goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Varane, a World Cup winner, struggled to meet expectations during his time at Manchester United and will now look to reignite his career in Italy.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has set its sights on RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, following his impressive performances for Spain at the European Championship. The Catalan club is hopeful of negotiating a deal for the 26-year-old, who has a release clause of €60 million.
In other transfer news, Aston Villa winger Moussa Diaby is on the brink of a move to the Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad in a deal worth €60 million. Talks between Barcelona and Athletic Club winger Nico Williams are also on the horizon, with the 22-year-old reportedly keen on a switch to the Camp Nou.
Juventus attacking midfielder Matìas Soulè is leaning towards a move to AS Roma over Leicester City, with initial discussions expected to take place soon. Australian international Mohamed Toure is set to join Randers in the Danish Superliga, while AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham is likely to depart the club this summer, with interest from Juventus and AC Milan.
Lastly, Manchester City is making a final effort to retain goalkeeper Ederson amid interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia offering a lucrative deal. The Citizens are prepared to offer Ederson a salary increase to keep him at the Etihad Stadium.
