Football Gossip: Wirtz, Fernandez, Nmecha, Woltemade, Vuskovic, Diomande

Chelsea are considering a move to bring in Florian Wirtz, while other players such as Felix Nmecha and Nick Woltemade are also in the spotlight in the transfer market. Various clubs are taking steps in the transfer market ahead of the next season.

Chelsea are monitoring Liverpool's Florian Wirtz, who impressed under new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso while at Bayer Leverkusen. However, any potential deal for the 23-year-old German playmaker hinges on the departure of Argentinian midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 25, from Stamford Bridge.

German midfielder Felix Nmecha is open to leaving Borussia Dortmund, with Liverpool and Manchester United showing interest in the 25-year-old. Newcastle may be willing to sell German striker Nick Woltemade, 24, with Aston Villa, Dortmund and Atletico Madrid among the suitors.

Brighton have submitted an improved offer to Tottenham for 19-year-old Croatian centre-back Luka Vuskovic, worth up to £45m, including add-ons. RB Leipzig expect Paris St-Germain to make a bid for Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande, 19, after rejecting Liverpool's initial offer of 100 million euros (£87 million).

If England midfielder Elliot Anderson, 23, joins Manchester City, it could trigger a domino effect, with Nottingham Forest signing 26-year-old Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan, who in turn would try to complete a deal for Liverpool's England midfielder Curtis Jones, 25.

Leeds United have offered a long-term contract to 29-year-old Wales winger Harry Wilson, who is now a free agent after his contract with Fulham expired. Bayern Munich will try to negotiate Michael Olise's contract amid interest from Real Madrid and PSG in the 24-year-old French winger. Real Madrid have denied reports that they have contacted Olise's side.

Juventus are willing to sell Canadian striker Jonathan David, 26, for an asking price of 30 million euros (£26 million). PSG want 40 million euros (£35 million) for Randal Kolo Muani, and the 27-year-old French striker wants to return to Juventus, who are also considering signing Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth, 30, from Atletico Madrid. Manchester City are close to reaching a financial agreement with Chelsea that would allow them to appoint Enzo Maresca as manager.
