Villa begin Suzuki talks - Sunday's gossip

Aston Villa are engaged in talks to sign Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, stemming from the collapse of his proposed transfer to Paris St-Germain. This move has given Juventus renewed hope of landing Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 33, from the Premier League club. Arsenal, however, is bracing for a hefty £60m asking price for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 27, should they hope to secure his signature from Galatasaray this summer.

Barcelona's third offer of 70m euros (£59.8m) for Spain midfielder Rodri appears sufficient to entice Manchester City to sell the 30-year-old. Meanwhile, Manchester City has set its sights on signing Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, who is valued at a minimum of £85m. Newcastle has reignited interest in Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha, 31, with Aston Villa and Benfica also showing a keen interest in the Portuguese midfielder.

Inter Milan is eager to offload Brazilian winger Luis Henrique, 24, in a bid to fund a potential move for Liverpool's England midfielder Curtis Jones, 25, who is expected to cost around 40m euros (£34m). Chelsea is demanding £60m for Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson, with Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Atlético Madrid among the clubs interested in the 25-year-old.

The Newcastle United forward Cody Gakpo, 27, has signaled his desire to depart Liverpool for Tottenham, while Benfica is eyeing English defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, who has become surplus to requirements at Chelsea.
