- Liverpool are continuing talks with Crystal Palace over winger Ismaïla Sarr as the Senegal international pushes for a move to Anfield, according to The Sun. Sarr is reportedly keen on a fresh challenge after two successful seasons at Palace and is open to joining Andoni Iraola's side. Liverpool have made a fresh offer for the 28-year-old, although the exact fee involved has not been disclosed. As things stand, Palace are yet to respond to the offer.

- Lille's versatile forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo is a target for Premier League sides Liverpool and Newcastle United, Nicolò Schira reports. The 21-year-old scored eight goals and assisted another six for the French club last season and made three appearances for Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Lille value Fernandez-Pardo, who can play anywhere across the front line, around the €75 million mark.

- Sunderland are confident of beating Everton to a loan deal for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, Football Insider reports. The Black Cats believe they can cover a significant portion of the 30-year-old's reported £300,000-a-week wages while also offering European football. Grealish enjoyed a successful loan spell at Everton last season, but Sunderland feel their upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign could give them the edge in the race for his signature.

- AC Milan have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign Omari Hutchinson on an initial loan deal with an option to make the move permanent, according to Sky Sports. The option will become an obligation if certain conditions are met, with the two clubs now finalising the transfer. Hutchinson was left out of Forest's squad for Saturday's draw with Liverpool, and is now set to link up with former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim in Milan.

- Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade could leave the club on loan before the transfer window closes, with several Italian clubs showing interest, according to Sky Sports. Napoli are his most serious suitors, although Juventus and RB Leipzig have also been linked with the Germany international in recent days. Newcastle would demand a significant loan fee for any deal, having signed him last summer from VfB Stuttgart. The Magpies are also happy to keep the 24-year-old, who was an unused substitute in their season-opening draw with Liverpool. Woltemade is under contract at St James' Park until June 2031.
