Chelsea are open sending Mykhailo Mudryk out on loan to get him regular game time upon his return from a doping ban, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Italian clubs as well as sister club Strasbourg are options, but Mudryk’s preference would be a loan to a Premier League club.

The Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is part of a consortium that is nearing a deal to buy a minority stake in Liverpool, according to a report.

Sky News reported on Monday that the consortium, led by Amit Bhatia, the British-Indian millionaire and former co-owner of QPR, is close to buying a “roughly one-third stake” in the Premier League club.

Sky Sports are reporting that Atletico Madrid defender Nahuel Molina has arrived in Italy ahead of completing his move to Roma - which could knock over the first of a few transfer dominoes.

The move, worth up to £14.5m, is helping to create space at Atletico for Cristian Romero, who wants out of Tottenham and is making progress over a move to Madrid - a fresh bid is expected to be sent soon.

In that same regard, Atletico are also nearing the sale of Matteo Ruggeri to Aston Villa.

Mohamed Salah’s switch to Trabzonspor may have knocked over the first domino of big names making moves to Turkey this summer.

That’s because now, Fenerbahce are set to finalise a deal to sign Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Napoli after reaching an agreement of £5.12m, as per Sky Sports.

Chelsea will receive a sell-on fee.

This could pave the way for Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus to move to Napoli.

It was a reminder of the lineage that comes with a shirt. Keegan’s £500,000 move to Hamburg in 1977 in turn facilitated Liverpool’s then club-record purchase of Kenny Dalglish for £440,000. Almost half a century later, Wirtz’s £100m arrival from Bayer Leverkusen made him the most expensive player in their history, albeit for less than three months before Alexander Isak cost still more.

Dalglish ended his debut season on Merseyside by scoring the goal that won the European Cup. Wirtz’s was no such triumph; neither individually nor collectively as the defending champions slumped to fifth. There were times when it felt that Wirtz played better than his statistics would suggest, others when it seemed he was suffering in a struggling side.

The German’s verdict on his first year reflected that it was a mixed affair...

Everton are interested in Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz, according to Sky Sports.

Palace closing in on a deal to sign Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise with a view to him providing competition for Munoz at right wing-back, but the Colombian may seek to leave Selhurst Park this summer.

The Toffees are monitoring the situation, with Moyes keen to bring in a right-back and liking the option of Munoz.

Arsenal have offered Myles Lewis-Skelly to multiple Premier League clubs, including rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.

That’s according to talkSPORT, who say the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes has opened the door for players in midfield positions to leave.

Lewis-Skelly has been operated in both defence and midfield by Mikel Arteta, who is considering letting the Hale End product go.

The England international midfielder, who still has two years left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, has not featured in the Premier League for City since 2023.

But United manager Chris Wilder has moved to bring in Phillips for a second time to give him options in midfield while he faces losing Gustavo Hamer to Coventry City.

Arsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign defensive cover for William Saliba, according to The Guardian.

This comes after Mikel Arteta confirmed Jurrien Timber is still weeks away from a return from his own injury.

Saliba sustained a back injury at the World Cup which will leave him out for months.

Amanda Staveley would explore purchasing the London Stadium if she is successful in buying a significant stake in West Ham, according to The Times.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says he is open to “any discussions” on the matter, with West Ham currently tenants of the ground.

The stadium, built for the 2012 Olympics, could be available for as little as £50m given how much it is paid by the taxpayer.
