Transfer Gossip Summary – August 5, 2025

Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško (22) from RB Leipzig is reportedly using a political approach in his transfer saga by playing Newcastle United and Manchester United against each other to secure the best possible deal.

Newcastle have renewed their interest in signing England center-back Marc Guehi with an offer of around £40 million. However, Crystal Palace are holding out for £50 million for the 25-year-old defender.

Everton manager David Moyes is targeting up to six new signings, including two central midfielders and two wide players. Meanwhile, Tottenham have been told they must pay €30 million (£26 million) to sign Spanish midfielder Marc Casadó (21) from Barcelona.

Brazilian winger Rodrygo (24) is determined to stay at Real Madrid despite interest from Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

Crystal Palace are facing competition from Juventus in the race to sign Spanish right-back Arnau Martinez (22) from Girona.

Napoli and Sweden midfielder Jens Cajuste (25) is said to prefer a move back to Ipswich Town over transfers to Burnley or Saudi Arabia. Stuttgart are reportedly close to securing a deal for Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira (25) from Arsenal.

Polish defender Jakub Kiwior (25) attracted interest from Porto, but the Portuguese side rejected Arsenal’s €30 million (£26 million) valuation.

Tottenham are looking to offload Malian midfielder Yves Bissouma (28) to make room for a move for Conor Gallagher, the 25-year-old England midfielder currently at Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool are monitoring Brentford and Republic of Ireland defender Nathan Collins (24). Meanwhile, West Ham have submitted a fresh £10 million bid to Botafogo for Brazilian goalkeeper John Victor (29).
