Another high-profile transfer target is Morten Hjulmand, a midfielder who has been linked with Manchester United. United remain interested in Hjulmand, who has been in talks with Juventus. However, the fee gap between the two clubs could open the door for United to make a move. Juventus are willing to pay Hjulmand around €35m, while Sporting demand around €50/60m. Hjulmand prefers a move to Juventus, but United could step in if the deal falls through.
The future of Ademola Lookman is still uncertain. Inter and Atletico Madrid are the frontrunners, but Arsenal have rekindled their interest in the Nigerian player. Lookman would be open to a return to the Premier League, but his main target is to leave Atalanta. Inter has already made a €40m offer, which was rejected, while Atletico Madrid has yet to submit a bid. Atalanta are demanding €50m, a non-negotiable price.
Galatasaray have begun talks with Manchester City to sign Ederson, with personal terms already agreed upon. The Turkish club hopes to negotiate a lower transfer fee using Ederson's desire to leave and his contract situation as leverage. Ederson is optimistic about completing the deal soon and is eager to make the switch to Galatasaray.
Everton are preparing to increase their offer for Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, moving from their initial €30m proposal to a new package worth around €35m, including bonuses. Luiz has given priority to Everton, as he considers their sporting project more in line with his ambitions. Juventus are open to a paid loan with an obligation to buy, and negotiations are now focused on reaching the right amount and structure for both sides.
Luiz may soon find his new home, and Everton are currently leading the race. The Toffees are pushing to secure the Brazilian as a key part of their midfield rebuild.
