Former Lazio striker Ciro Immobile is reportedly on the verge of returning to Italian football, as Bologna increased their pursuit of a deal to sign the forward from Besiktas. After a potential transfer initially seemed difficult, due to reasons involving his wage demands and current contract with the Turkish club, SkySport are now reporting that the parties are nearing an agreement.

Immobile to return to Serie A Immobile scored 15 goals and assisted four for Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig in 2024-25 but reports in the last week have suggested the player was keen to return to his home country.

Viktor Gyokeres 'officially rejects' Manchester United as Arsenal 'prepare second bid'
Viktor Gyokeres has "officially" rejected Manchester United and a reunion with former Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim, after Arsenal reportedly made their interest clear. That's according to Portuguese outlet Record, who report on Saturday morning that United have been made aware of Gyokeres' decision to snub a move to Old Trafford after talks with the player's agents. Advertisement LIVE BLOG: All the latest transfer news and rumours With Sporting demanding at least €70million (£59.6m) to begin negotiations over a fee, Record express doubts United could afford to sign Gyokeres ahead of the likes of Arsenal. United have already spent £62.5m on Matheus Cunha and hope to also add Bryan Mbeumo, who could cost even more with Tottenham now in the mix. 'The footballer's agents have officially told Ruben Amorim's club that he is no longer an option for the striker,' Record reports. 'United made several contacts over the last week, as we wrote, but with Arsenal's advance, this possibility lost strength and, in the last few hours, it has fallen away completely. (London Standard) 'The Red Devils made an offer to the Swede but did not present arguments capable of convincing him. Gyökeres prefers Arsenal, who are preparing a second offer, after Sporting rejected 55+10. Advertisement 'Although they had not completely ruled out United up until this stage, the player's representatives never considered the Manchester club as a priority option.' Arsenal are now thought to be clear favourites to sign Gyokeres, though the club retain interest in Benjamin Sesko for their vacant striker spot. The Gunners and RB Leipzig have been in talks for some time over a deal before reports of a rejected bid for Gyokeres emerged. A second bid is now reportedly incoming from Arsenal.

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Norgaard and Kepa INCOMING, Lewis-Skelly ‘SIGNS new deal', Rodrygo ‘price DROPPED'
Hard to ig-Nor Christian Norgaard is set for an awkward reunion with an Arsenal star should he make the move from Brentford. The Bees' captain is subject to a £9.3million bid from the Gunners and would be the replacement for Thomas Partey. He has made his mark in the Premier League as a tough-tackling midfielder. And it was this aggressive nature that saw him on the receiving end of a dig from Arsenal ace Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian accused Norgaard of trying to break his leg when the teams faced off in April. Speaking after the game, the forward said: "I didn't see that again but in the moment, if my foot was on the floor, he could break my leg. "He [Norgaard] said he didn't mean it. I believe him but still he could have broke my leg. For me it was red. "I need to see it again to be sure. But for me it was nasty."
