Villarreal are still trying to sign Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, who also has interest from French club Marseille and within the Premier League.

Axel Disasi has attracted interest from Italy.

If Disasi ends up in Italy he'll need a helicopter on standby every home game ready to get him out of the stadium alive!  and on away games would be carried out on the shoulders of the home fans.

Manchester United will not accept a deal worth less than £50m for Garnacho. They feel he is at least equal to Madueke and that his stats line up well with Jamie Gittens.

It’s like we hear a different club is in for one of our want away players every week but then none of them actually go as far as to actually bid. And then when someone actually does bid we hear within 24 hours that the move has stalled because all of these buying clubs are so cheap.

I’m going to be pissed off to no end if we actually send £50m on Garnacho before signing Simons and then we get briefed next week that “Chelsea tried hard for Simons but decided he isn’t needed anymore.”

West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Napoli and RB Leipzig, who continue to look for solutions for Carney Chukwuemeka.

Raheem Sterling would prefer to stay in London if possible and is understood to have interest from Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham.

Galatasaray and Bayer Leverkusen have also shown interest in the England international.

From Uli Hoeneß's point of view, there will be no further permanent signings at FC Bayern Munich this summer. "I would strongly advocate filling the squad with a loan player who will be signed until June 30, 2026," the honorary president of the German record champions told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

I detest Bayern, Dortmund, and many of the biggest Italian clubs when it comes to transfers

they always want a 'heads I win, tails you lose' outcome

outrageous prices when they are selling, and then loan with no obligation to buy (and often with clubs paying part of the salary) stances when they are buying, OR ultra low perm tranfers prices, well below remotely fair market value

Why Aston Villa will struggle to complete Nicolas Jackson transfer despite Unai Emery's interest in reunion with unwanted Chelsea striker

Aston Villa will continue to pursue a move for unwanted Chelsea attacker Nicolas Jackson, despite the club facing financial restrictions.

• Emery is a big fan of Jackson
• Chelsea want a fee in region of £60 million ($81m)
• Move unlikely due to financial restrictions

WHAT HAPPENED?
Villa boss Unai Emery remains hopeful of adding attacking options this summer, but will have to create a payment package to work around the limitations. This would be constructed by splitting the fee to be paid over an as yet undecided number of seasons. Emery, who has previously worked with Jackson during their time at Villarreal, faces competition from Newcastle and clubs in Italy, according to The Telegraph.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Jackson was the second top-scorer for Chelsea last season, but now faces stiff competition for his place from new signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Villa have seen Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey leave this summer, but that still doesn’t free up enough cash for them to spend big on Jackson. The one piece of good news for Emery is the wages. Jackson is on £100,000 per week, which would sit within Villa's wage structure.

WHAT EMERY SAID
Last year, Emery said of Jackson: “He was starting the pre-season with the Under 21s and when he was progressively coming to train with us, he was showing his potential. We worked during the one year on his skill, he improved his understanding better, how he could exploit his potential. And playing minutes and getting experiences was the next step.But his attitude as well was fantastic. He was always learning. He was always demanding to train more, to be focused. He was also being a professional every day out of training sessions at home because he was focused on football like the first priority of his life."

WHAT NEXT FOR JACKSON?
It’s decision time for Jackson. He has plenty of admirers, but Chelsea are reluctant to let him go out on loan, so Villa may win the race. And with the World Cup on the horizon, he’ll be keen to have his future wrapped up ASAP.

With that wording it can't be. The translation is something like, " Chelsea are thinking about thinking about attempting to sign a player." 🙁

Aston Villa want a loan with an obligation to buy for Jackson.

Jackson likes the idea. [@edu17burgos]

If we can sign Xavi without any PSR worry wouldn't mind a loan and obligation to buy.

Clubs interested in Nicolas Jackson are being told a loan with obligation may be possible for £10m loan fee.
