The Euros may have significantly slowed down the transfer window; clubs, on the other hand, are still strengthening and agreeing to terms ahead of potential changes. In the transfer market, we look at a few buzzing moves.
What's going on at Chelsea?
Kiernan Dewsbury Hall was on the verge of joining Brighton, as reported by many outlets on Thursday, but a late Chelsea swoop could turn the young England midfielder into a Stamford Bridge prodigy.
The Blues have been busy in the transfer market, and they are no strangers to football players. Leicester wouldn’t mind a bidding war that helps them get more of their assets, but Chelsea is also willing to part with two players believed to be Casadei and Datro Fofana.
Omari Hutchinson to leave Chelsea
To balance the books, Chelsea is negotiating with Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town on the permanent transfer of Arsenal’s former youth player, Omari Hutchinson.
The young player, who spent last season on loan at the newly promoted side, is interested in a permanent switch, with a fee of £25 million under discussion. If all goes according to plan, Hutchinson will become an Ipswich player permanently this weekend.
Van Nistelrooy and Rene Hake will join Ten Hag.
Go Ahead Eagles head coach Rene Hake is in talks to join Manchester United after verbally agreeing terms with the club's former striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Following an indifferent season, new co-owners INEOS Group seek to strengthen the coaching staff and have already agreed with Nistelrooy to join Ten Hag, but they're not stopping yet; after failing to lure Gary O'Neil to the club, Hake is the new name they're discussing and could be on the bench next season.
Ricardo Calafiori on the move?
After catching the eyes of so many top clubs with his display for Bologna FC, Ricardo Calafiori is now the subject of a mega transfer out of the club.
ESPN reports that Juventus, along with Bologna's former manager in charge, Real Madrid, and an unnamed Premier League side, have all inquired about Calafiori, and, reluctantly, Bologna will have to sell for a fee in the region of €50 million.
Everton sells Ben Godfrey to Atalanta.
Everton defender Ben Godfrey has joined Europa League winners Atalanta permanently for a fee believed to be more than €10 million.
The right-back failed to nail down a first-team shirt last season, forcing him to sit out lots of games and make do with a substitute role in many games. He has now decided to call it quits with the Toffees. The defender will play Champions League football next season.
