AC Milan submit second offer for Strasbourg's Guela Doué
Milan's first offer was in the region of €15m, and this was swiftly rebuffed by Strasbourg. The second offer has seen an increase of €3m. However, €18m still falls short of the Ligue 1 club's valuation for the former Rennes defender. The second offer is set to be rejected, with BlueCo hoping to receive more for the 22-year-old.

Doué is viewed as an important player by Liam Rosenior. The former Hull City head coach hopes to be able to depend on the Côte d'Ivoire international at the end of August when Strasbourg hope to confirm their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League in the qualifying stages.

Chelsea's Xavi Simons deal in danger! RB Leipzig refusing to take back Blues outcasts in deal as talks continue for Dutch forward
Chelsea's swap deal for Simons hits major roadblock RB Leipzig demand £60m — reject all swap offers Agent Ali Barat working to unlock transfer breakthrough Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? As per The Sun, Chelsea have offered multiple players in exchange for Simons, including Armando Broja and Carney Chukwuemeka. However, RB Leipzig are only interested in a cash deal worth £60m ($79m) for the Dutch international. Agent Ali Barat, who has good relations with Chelsea, is said to be working behind the scenes to try and rescue the transfer. THE BIGGER PICTURE Simons joined RB Leipzig permanently from Paris Saint-Germain in January after a loan stint with the Bundesliga side. His decision to leave comes after Leipzig failed to secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, are making other moves in the market, sending Kendry Paez, Mike Penders, and Marc Guiu out on loan to open up the budget to sign Simons. DID YOU KNOW? RB Leipzig paid a club-record £43m for Simons, with add-ons potentially raising the deal to £70m. As such, Die Roten Bullen are not ready to sell the Dutchman for less than £60m. The Blues still view Simons as a priority target for the summer, despite the recent setback. WHAT NEXT FOR SIMONS? Negotiations are expected to continue as Chelsea weigh up whether to meet RB Leipzig's asking price for Simons. The Blues could return with a fresh offer later in the window if Barat finds a breakthrough. Meanwhile, other midfield options may be explored as a backup plan.

Tottenham 'informed' of negotiations between Son and LAFC
Los Angeles FC are in ongoing discussions with Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-Min Son and Spurs have been informed of the negotiations, as reported by Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg. Son's move to the MLS has been widely reported this summer as LAFC look to sign the South Korean international as one of their Designated Players, with talks ongoing. If finalised, this transfer would mark one of the most high-profile moves in Major League Soccer history. Son, 33, remains one of the most admired and commercially valuable footballers in the world. His move to LAFC would not only boost the club's chances on the pitch but would significantly elevate the league's global profile—especially in the Asian market. LAFC has established itself as a destination for top-tier talent in recent years, but bringing in a player of Son's stature, both as a Premier League star and South Korea's national icon, would be a massive coup. 📸 Eurasia Sport Images - 2025 Getty Images

Son Heung-min asks to leave Tottenham amid talks with LAFC
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has asked to leave the club this summer. Son informed the club and new head coach Thomas Frank earlier this summer that he wanted to leave, having led the side to their first trophy in 17 years at the end of last season. Spurs are currently on their pre-season tour in East Asia and face Newcastle United in a friendly at the 66,000 capacity Seoul World Cup Stadium in the capital of South Korea on Sunday. It could be the South Korea international's final game. The Athletic reported earlier this month that MLS side Los Angeles FC were interested in signing Son. Advertisement Son informed the club and new head coach Thomas Frank earlier this summer that he wanted to leave. They have received interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, who are prepared to offer more money for the forward, but he is keen on a move to LAFC and discussions are ongoing. Spurs want to manage the 33-year-old's exit as smoothly as possible in recognition of what he has achieved throughout his 10 years of service. Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015 and he has scored 173 goals in over 450 appearances. He was appointed as captain in the summer of 2023 by former head coach Ange Postecoglou and helped Spurs to win their first piece of silverware since 2008 when they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. In his first press conference last month, Frank, who succeeded Postecoglou at the start of June, was asked if Son had earned the right to determine his own future. 'It's always tricky, situations like that,' Frank said. 'If that happens. Right now I have a player that is fully committed and training well, and will play tomorrow. If a player has been at a club a long time, then there will always be a decision for the club to take of course. 'The head coach and the guys who are in charge and this case it will be with Daniel (Levy) and Johan (Lange). Because there is something in it if someone wants to leave at a certain stage, then there can be something there. But the club will always decide in the end.' Son and Frank are talking to the media on Saturday morning in Seoul. This has already been a summer of significant change for Spurs with the departure of Postecoglou, but this will hit the fanbase the hardest. Son has evolved into one of the best forwards in the world during his time with Spurs and formed a devastating partnership with Harry Kane. They were the figureheads of the Mauricio Pochettino era when Spurs challenged for the Premier League title and lost the 2019 Champions League final. Advertisement Son was the joint top-scorer in the Premier League with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the 2021-22 season and scored an incredible solo goal against Burnley which won the 2020 FIFA Puskas Award. Son gave Tottenham's supporters countless memories but nothing will top the Europa League final in May. Other fan favourites, including Kane, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, left Spurs to fulfil their ambitions of winning a trophy but Son stayed and etched himself into their history books. A foot injury forced him to be a second-half substitute against Manchester United in Bilbao but he played an important role in their progress throughout the competition. After the final game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion, Son went on a solo lap of honour around the stadium after the rest of the squad and now it feels like he was saying goodbye. He will receive an incredible reception against Newcastle on Sunday when he plays in front of his home fans who greeted him in their hundreds at Incheon Airport on Friday afternoon. This is a bittersweet moment for Spurs and Son – but it might be a blessing in disguise for Frank. Son's performances were underwhelming last season and his output has declined. He only scored seven league goals during the 2024-25 campaign which is the first time he has failed to hit double figures since his debut season in 2015-16. Frank will avoid having a difficult decision to make about whether to strip Son of the captaincy and he can focus on developing Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert. Most importantly, Son will leave on a high and as a hero after winning the Europa League.
