Chelsea on High Alert: £135m Vinícius Júnior Bid Sparks Hope of Summer Transfer
Real Madrid's prized winger Vinícius Júnior is reportedly unhappy with his contract situation, and Chelsea are poised to make a massive £135m move for him this summer. If the Brazilian international agrees an extension that would have kept him in Spain until 2027, Real could be forced to sell him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, Adam Wharton is another English midfielder who could attract significant attention from top clubs. As England's World Cup squad takes shape, Palace fans are holding out hope that their talented youngster will return north of the border in search of first-team opportunities with Manchester City, Liverpool or Manchester United.
With Crystal Palace struggling to find consistency this summer, manager Oliver Glasner has been forced to identify several transfer targets to bolster his squad. The list includes experienced Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey and Wolves midfielder João Gomes, among others. However, it's unclear whether the club will be able to make any major signings in January.
Another player struggling for regular game time is Netherlands centre-back Nathan Aké, who has been linked with a move to Milan and is likely to seek more minutes before the World Cup gets underway.
Manchester City's Omar Marmoush is also facing an uncertain future at the Etihad Stadium. The Egyptian forward is playing second fiddle to Erling Haaland and is reportedly being targeted by Tottenham and Aston Villa in a bid to end his bench misery.
Finally, Newcastle's William Osula has been barely used since joining Eintracht Frankfurt, but talks are underway about a potential move to Germany. The Danish striker had seemingly agreed personal terms on the transfer before anything went further.
In other transfer news, Inter Milan are considering signing Portugal international João Cancelo due to his desire for European competition. However, the right-back's high wages make it a tricky deal to navigate. Luke O'Nien is also looking for a new club, with Sunderland having relegated him since their promotion to the Premier League.

... on one hand, it'd be great to see them strengthen their attack and he's an incredible player 
but at £135m, it's a bit steep for my taste 
. Also, what's going on with Adam Wharton? I remember he was all hype last season and now he's just another transfer target 
. And Palace is struggling again... do they need to break the bank for someone like Sacha Boey or will they stick with their young guns? 
. And £135m? That's just ridiculous 
. Also, Crystal Palace struggling to find consistency this summer is kinda obvious 
️. They've had a pretty rough season so far and Oliver Glasner needs to do some serious soul searching 
.
! I'm low-key hyped about Vinícius Júnior's potential move to Chelsea!!! £135m is insane 
Meanwhile, Adam Wharton is another talented gem who could make a big impact at Manchester City or Liverpool... Palace fans are holding on hope that he'll get more playing time tho 
. And omg, Nathan Aké needs those World Cup minutes ASAP 
! Can't wait to see what the summer transfer window brings 
!
Sacha Boey would be a solid signing for them though 
Nathan Aké needs some more minutes before the World Cup or he'll be out of there 
Omar Marmoush's future at City is looking dodgy atm 
William Osula was hyped when he joined Frankfurt, but it looks like they're done with him 
this could be huge for Blues fans! Imagine having that pace and skill on the pitch 
) they might just have to let him go. Chelsea FC is my dream team btw 
, i mean who can blame them tho, they deserve some respect and first team minutes 
they had such a great squad last year and now its like they're starting from scratch all over again 
i mean id love to see adam wharton get more game time he seems like a top player but im not holding my breath that it happens in january tho maybe chelsea or man city will take him off their hands 
. Crystal Palace needs more talent on the squad or they'll get relegated for sure 
. Nathan Aké struggling for game time in Netherlands, I hope he finds a better team soon 
. William Osula from Newcastle has been like "oh yeah, I exist"
