Sampdoria, Watford and Crystal Palace are all beating to land Inter Milan fullback Davide Santon. In France, AS Monaco have offered to take Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula on loan for the new season, while in Spain, Real Betis is confident in tying up a deal for Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic. Here's a full report of the latest transfer updates circulating in the soccer industry:
Sampdoria, Watford and Crystal Palace leads chase to sign Santon
Davide Santon struggled for first team action last season and only managed to make fourteen appearances in the Series A.
But now, according to Ghana Soccernet, the 26-year-old fullback is considering a move away from San Siro in search of more first team soccer elsewhere. Watford Football Club, Sampdoria and Crystal Palace are all said to be interested in him. It is suggested the trio have been “alerted” to the Italy international present situation, and they're ready to offer the fullback a route out of Inter Milan. Davide Santon is into the final year of his current deal with Inter Milan and hasn't been offered a contract extension yet. The Italian club is willing to let the defender go if he wishes and could be signed for as little as $6.5million.
The Italy international is expected to hold discussions with the trio of clubs in the coming days but a move to the English Premier League could probably be his preferred destination.
AS Monaco keen on signing Giannelli Imbula
Giannelli Imbula has been linked with a move to OGC Nice and Galatasaray, but he reportedly turned it down. However, according to the Sun, French Ligue 1 champions AS Monaco have now offered to sign the 24-year-old midfielder on loan for the new season. Monaco is also said to be willing to sign Giannelli Imbula permanently next summer for $17 million as part of the loan deal.
After joining Stoke City Football Club from Portuguese club Porto for a record fee in 2016, Giannelli Imbula has struggled in the Premier League, and he's set to move on elsewhere.
Real Betis confident of signing Mario Pasalic
According to Goal, Spanish La Liga club Real Betis is set to sign Mario Pasalic on loan for the new season in the coming days.
Pasalic is said to have verbally agreed to join Real Betis and a deal is reportedly close to being rubber-stamped. After joining Chelsea Football Club from Hadjuk Split for $3.9 million in 2014, Mario Pasalic has been loaned out to AC Milan, AS Monaco and Elche, and he's now on the move once again this summer.
