Aston Villa have opened talks to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki after the Japan international's anticipated switch to Paris St-Germain fell apart, according to Talksport. The 23-year-old was believed to be closing in on a move to the French champions before that deal broke down, leaving Villa to step in and explore terms with the Serie A club.

Villa's pursuit of Suzuki could have significant knock-on effects at their own club, with Football Italia reporting that Juventus are encouraged by the development in their long-standing interest in Villa's Argentine number one, Emiliano Martinez. The 33-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to Italy, and Villa signing a replacement in Suzuki would smooth the path for any potential departure.

Elsewhere, Arsenal have been given a clear indication of what it will take to land Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, with Football Insider suggesting the Gunners must be prepared to offer in excess of £60m to convince the Turkish side to part with the Nigerian striker, who scored prolifically since his move from Napoli.

In Spain, AS report that Barcelona believe their third bid for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, worth around 70m euros (£59.8m), could finally be enough to prise the Spain international away from the Etihad. The Ballon d'Or winner has been a long-term target for the Catalan club as they look to strengthen their midfield options.

Manchester City, meanwhile, are said to be negotiating a deal for Lille's highly-rated teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. The Telegraph reports that Lille are holding out for at least £85m for the 18-year-old Morocco international, who has emerged as one of European football's most sought-after young talents.

Newcastle United have reignited their interest in Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha, according to the Mail, though the Magyars face competition from both Aston Villa and Benfica for the 31-year-old Portugal midfielder, who struggled for regular game time in Bavaria last season.

Inter Milan are reportedly ready to sanction the sale of Brazilian winger Luis Henrique in order to fund a move for Liverpool's Curtis Jones. Corriere dello Sport claim the 25-year-old England international would cost the Serie A giants in the region of 40m euros (£34m) should a deal progress.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are holding firm on their valuation of Nicolas Jackson, demanding £60m for the Senegal striker. RMC Sport report that Aston Villa, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid are all monitoring the 25-year-old's situation as he seeks regular first-team football away from west London.

Another Chelsea forward, Liam Delap, is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League despite interest from Italian side Como, according to Talksport. Newcastle and Everton are said to be watching developments closely regarding the 23-year-old Englishman.

At Liverpool, Cody Gakpo has reportedly made his desire to leave Anfield clear, with Teamtalk suggesting the Dutch forward wants to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer as he searches for a fresh challenge.

Finally, Benfica have been credited with interest in Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo. Caught Offside report the Portuguese club are monitoring the 28-year-old Englishman, who has found first-team opportunities limited under the current regime at Stamford Bridge.
