Manchester City have opened direct club-to-club talks with Chelsea to sign 25-year-old Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, according to Sky Italy. This development comes as the transfer window approaches its close on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are exploring a potential move for 21-year-old Lyon and Belgium winger Malick Fofana, as reported by RMC Sport. The Gunners are also reportedly still interested in signing Atletico Madrid and Argentina forward Julian Alvarez, actively working to facilitate a potential move to London for the 26-year-old.
In other transfer news, Newcastle have agreed a fee with Lille to sign 21-year-old Belgium midfielder Matias Fernandez-Pardo on a five-year deal. Borussia Dortmund are considering offering free agent Jadon Sancho a contract, which would be heavily performance-based and require him to forgo a signing bonus.
Ajax have enquired about Sunderland and Ivory Coast winger Simon Adingra. Fulham have also opened talks with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign 22-year-old Sweden midfielder Hugo Larsson. Sunderland has an agreement in principle with Tottenham for Austria centre-back Kevin Danso, but the deal is unlikely to be completed until Spurs secure a replacement.
