Will Depay join Newcastle?

According to Sport, Barcelona forward Memphis Depay has an offer on the table to join Newcastle United.

The Netherlands international has fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou since the arrival of Robert Lewandowski and has been actively looking for a move away from the Spanish giants.

He was linked with Juventus last summer as well as former club Manchester United but Atletico Madrid were seemingly the frontrunners for his signature – especially after they let Joao Felix leave on loan.

The Spanish media outlet says Depay could go to the “highest bidders” so it wouldn’t be surprising if he ends up at St. James’ Park who are backed by the Saudi Arabai Public Investment Fund.

Chelsea interested in Caicedo

Graham Potter could be set for a reunion with Moises Caicedo as Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Brighton midfielder. After a series of talks to seems unlikely that the Blues will be able to finalise a deal for Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez so they’re moving on to other targets with Caicedo near the top of the list.

Brighton are not keen to sell and their strong form under Roberto De Zerbi has put them right in the mix to compete for the European places this season. That means it is the club will be unwilling to let any of their key assets – such as Caicedo – leave midway through the campaign.

There is a further wrinkle for Chelsea as Liverpool are also said to be interested in the 21-year-old.

Arsenal continue push for Mykhailo Mudryk

Arsenal continue to push for Mykhailo Mudryk although Shakhtar Donetsk are holding firm in their valuation of the player so far.

As our Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney reported, “One reason it has been dragging is because Shakhtar have been in little mood to budge on fee due to how much they lost in potential sales after the Fifa ruling that foreign players could leave for free with the invasion. This one of their top assets.

“Player’s choice is Arsenal, though, and he obviously wants to go as soon as possible.”

Atletico Madrid head race for Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat

There are plenty of interesting transfer nuggets following the World Cup, not least around the future of Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat.

A tackle he made in that match went viral after chasing Kylian Mbappe to the byline where he proceeded to crunch through the PSG superstar forward and emerge with the ball.

According to Foot Mercato, Jurgen Klopp had met with Amrabat’s people to discuss a move to Liverpool, but Atletico Madrid are his preferred club.
