Transfer Talk: Juve still in for Sancho despite Gonzalez deal

The summer transfer window is open! Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals !

TOP STORY: Juve circling Sancho and Gonzalez

Juventus remain committed to landing a deal for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho , despite closing in on Fiorentina 's Nico Gonzalez , according to Fabrizio Romano .

With Federico Chiesa looking set to depart the Turin outfit for Barcelona , Juventus have been keen to add to their wide options. Argentina international Gonzalez appears to be the first cab off the rank, with a mooted €8 million loan -- and a €25m option to buy -- set to be announced imminently. However, this has not dented their aspirations to strike a deal for Sancho.

Sancho has been on the radar of Juventus this summer and, whilst the 24-year-old had reportedly seen his relationship with United manager Erik ten Hag improve, there is still the potential for him to depart Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window.

Sancho was left out of United's squad for 2-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with Romano suggesting that this was primarily due to the negotiations that are expected to continue over the next few days.

Football Italia have suggested that 21-year-old FC Porto flyer Francisco Conceição is also on Juventus' shortlist.

- Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira is set for a return to Porto, according to The Sun . The report reveals that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta informed the 24-year-old that he does not fit in with his plans, meaning that Vieria will be allowed to depart the Emirates Stadium before the end of the transfer window.

- Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners remains a priority for Juventus, who are keen to strike a deal before the conclusion of the transfer window, suggests Calciomercato . The Dutch midfielder was left out of Atalanta's squad for their clash against Torino , indicating that a move could be edging closer.

The Nigeria international has a release clause of €130m, though it is reported that Napoli are holding out for a figure of roughly €100m. While it is expected that PSG will make their first official approach of the summer for Osimhen in the coming days, it is reportedly unlikely to match Napoli's valuation. This leaves the door ajar for both Arsenal and Chelsea , who lurk in the background, while clubs in Saudi Arabia are also still interested in securing a move for Osimhen.
