At the moment, it’s still very difficult for Newcastle to land Marc Guehi.
The deal is not 100% off yet and Newcastle will try until the end, but Palace are insisting on their valuation being met so it remains complicated.
Palace have always been making it difficult for Newcastle this summer and they’re not changing their position now either.

There has been zero movement for Viktor Gyökeres this summer. Nothing at all.
For Ivan Toney, he remains a strong option for Al Ahli if Osimhen goes to Chelsea… or he can be an option for Chelsea if Osimhen goes to Al Ahli.
As of Thursday night, nothing is clear and we have to be patient and see what happens.
There could be surprises.

I’m told that someone from Brentford called Chelsea for Ben Chilwell. Well, let’s see if they will make a bid on deadline day or not.
For Trevoh Chalobah, we heard about Stuttgart. Fake news. I’m told that Stuttgart are not working on a deal for Chalobah but there are other clubs interested, also from England, so there could be movement.

And then there is Raheem Sterling.
We’ll have to see what happens with Jadon Sancho first because Sancho is another big topic, but as of Thursday night the deal for him to go to Juventus is in total standby. Man United rejected the improved bid from Juventus yesterday.
What about Chelsea? Chelsea are obviously very busy with the Victor Osimhen deal, but they are keeping contacts active in the Sancho story.
Chelsea are working on it, then let’s see what they will get in the next 24 hours.
Nothing is happening with Turkish or Italian clubs, and United are not desperate to sell the player as Ten Hag still appreciates him and he’s very calm.
No movements so far.

I’m receiving many questions from Liverpool fans on Alan Varela.
We always have these kind of stories ahead of headline day so I was checking with my sources on this story, because Varela is a fantastic midfielder. I could spend two hours talking about him.
Many clubs have had an interest in Varela this summer but the answer from Porto has always been the…
