Juventus striker Jonathan David has been linked with a move away from the Italian club this summer. Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing the player, as per Gazzetta dello Sport.

Alejandro Garnacho has joined Aston Villa on loan from Chelsea (Photo: Getty) Roma have reportedly added another Chelsea star to their transfer shortlist after failing to sign Alejandro Garnacho earlier this summer. The Serie A club had been the favourites to land Garnacho after Chelsea put the winger up for sale less than a year after his high-profile transfer from Manchester United. But in the end it was Aston Villa who signed the Argentina international on a loan deal, with the move set to become permanent should ‘certain criteria be met’. Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini is still desperate to sign a left-sided attacker and are looking to get a deal done quickly, with the Italian side kicking-off their season against Fiorentina on August 24.

Reports from Italy, via The Sun, claim that RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa and Lyon’s Malick Fofana are on their shortlist, as is Jamie Gittens. Like Garnacho, Gittens only moved to Stamford Bridge last summer in a deal worth £52million from Borussia Dortmund and like Garnacho, he endured a very difficult debut season. The England youth international scored just one goal and made five assists in 27 appearances across all competitions, before sitting out the second-half of the season with a hamstring injury.

The 22-year-old was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 pre-season win over AC Milan and with no European football this season, Gittens may struggle for game time. Roma do not have much transfer funds to play with, so it is expected they would seek a loan move for the winger but it remains to be seen whether Alonso would sanction his departure. Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini is desperate to sign a new left winger (Photo: Getty) Gittens is not among the 11 players that Chelsea are reportedly trying to sell before the transfer window closes and would be the only back-up option to Rogers should Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk depart. The Blues have two more friendlies to play before they begin the season with a trip to west London rivals Fulham on August 24. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman's departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. A sudden and unexpected twist in Rafael Leao’s destiny has plunged both him and Christian Pulisic into the heart of Milan’s most captivating summer saga. Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman’s departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. For much of the transfer window, Leao appeared destined to leave Milan as interest arrived from Turkiye, while Premier League clubs were also mentioned as possible destinations. At the same time, Pulisic has remained a key figure in the club’s plans under new head coach Ruben Amorim, making the latest developments even more intriguing. Galatasaray has recently intensified its efforts to sign Rafael Leao, opening negotiations with the Italian side and submitting an official bid for the Portugal international. According to Turkish journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu, the Turkish champion offered around $40 million for a permanent transfer, but the proposal was immediately rejected because Milan continues to value the winger at between $58 million and $69 million. Thus, Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia and MilanNews respond that Milan has no intention of accepting a discounted fee and will only consider a permanent transfer if their valuation is met. The club also rejected previous ideas involving loan deals, making it clear they are only interested in a full sale. Rafael Leao of AC Milan looks on Despite the failed opening offer, Galatasaray is said to be preparing an improved proposal that could approach $46 million, although that still falls short of the Rossoneri’s asking price. Turkish media also claim Leao has shown interest in the move, while other reports suggest his position is becoming increasingly complicated. Leao reportedly changes his stance Just weeks ago, Leao openly admitted he wanted a new challenge after spending seven seasons with Milan. His comments appeared to signal the end of his time at San Siro, especially after missing out on Champions League action. However, recent reports suggest the situation has changed dramatically. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Portuguese forward has begun reconsidering his future after returning for pre-season, feeling welcomed once again by teammates and encouraged by the atmosphere under Ruben Amorim. Rafael Leao of AC Milan during the Serie A match. According to the newspaper, the 27-year-old has realized that leaving is no longer his only option. Instead, he is reportedly open to repairing his relationship with the club and continuing his career in Italy if the right transfer proposal never arrives. Further reinforcing that idea, Pietro Mazzara of MilanNews reported that Leao has informed Milan he wants to stay for now, even though the club remains willing to listen to offers that match its valuation. Why Leao staying could directly affect Christian Pulisic The biggest consequence of Leao remaining at Milan concerns Christian Pulisic’s role under Ruben Amorim. Earlier this summer, reports suggested Amorim viewed Pulisic as his first-choice option in the left-sided attacking midfield role within his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, with the American expected to operate between the lines rather than as a traditional winger. During his unveiling, Amorim made his admiration for Pulisic perfectly clear. “Pulisic is truly a very talented player. He got injured at the World Cup, we’ll have to understand. But he’s perfect for the way Italian football is… I have clear ideas about how I want to see him play… I want him between the lines… He’s very important for us.” Rafael Leao of AC Milan interacts with Christian Pulisic Those comments fueled speculation that there might be little room for Leao in the new tactical set
