Borussia Dortmund, they are definitely out of the race for Ferdi #Kadioglu! The 24 y/o left-back was high on the list to replace Ian Maatsen. However, the asking price from @Fenerbahce of at least €25-30m is too high, which is why #BVB are stepping back from a transfer.
Understand Manchester City have ruled out a move for Dani Olmo, despite reports. Chelsea also not considering a bid.Olmo's €60m release clause now expires on July 20 (as @FabrizioRomano
called).Barcelona have already discussed bringing Olmo back. They held direct talks with Leipzig before #Euro2024, but would need a generous payment structure to proceed. Priority is Nico Williams for Barca.Bayern and Manchester United ones to watch for Olmo. Suitors feel his release clause won't change much. Leipzig will still be open to business even after it expires, and on similar terms.

· #Wolves are in the market for a new centre-back after the £40m sale of Max Kilman to West Ham. Lyon’s Jake O’Brien is high on the recruitment team’s shortlist but interest cooled for now after being quoted £25m following a recent inquiry #wwfc
Atalanta will bid again for Matt O’Riley after first proposal still not close to Celtic valuation.He’s top priority also because Juventus are prepared to send their first bid for Teun Koopmeiners.Koopmeiners, keen on Juve move.
BVB CEO Watzke on Guirassy deal case: “The current situation is that everyone involved still wants the transfer, but of course we need a sensible statement on how the injury is now”.“We are gonna check again”, told BILD.
Nico Williams remains a serious target for @FCBarcelona this summer! At this stage, Barca need to sell players first. But Hansi Flick would love to sign him as reported. Talks took place. Dani Olmo, he’s also on the list of Barcelona.
