Villa begin Suzuki talks - Sunday's gossip

Aston Villa is engaged in talks to acquire Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma. The 23-year-old's initial transfer to Paris St-Germain has fallen through, prompting Villa's interest. This move has bolstered Juventus' hopes of signing Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 33, from the Premier League club. Arsenal, however, is being informed that Victor Osimhen, a 27-year-old Nigerian striker from Galatasaray, will require a fee exceeding £60m to consider a move to the English club.

Barcelona is confident that their latest offer of 70m euros (£59.8m) for Spain midfielder Rodri, 30, will be sufficient to secure his transfer from Manchester City. Manchester City is currently engaged in negotiations to bring Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, from Lille, who is demanding a transfer fee of at least £85m. Newcastle has rekindled discussions to sign Bayern Munich's 31-year-old German defender Joao Palhinha, with Aston Villa and Benfica also expressing interest in the Portuguese midfielder.

Inter Milan is eager to sell Brazilian winger Luis Henrique, 24, to facilitate a potential move for Liverpool's English midfielder Curtis Jones, 25, whose transfer fee is projected to be around 40m euros (£34m). Chelsea is requesting £60m for Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson, with Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Atletico Madrid among the clubs showing interest in the 25-year-old.

Chelsea's English forward Liam Delap, 23, is reportedly keen to remain with the Premier League club despite attracting interest from Como, while Newcastle and Everton are monitoring his situation. Meanwhile, Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo, 27, has indicated his desire to leave Liverpool and join Tottenham.
