Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Besiktas have set their sights on Leicester City out of favor player Yohan Benalouane. Elsewhere, Italian champions Juventus are reportedly interested in taking Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham target Andre Gomes on loan. In England, Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has re-emerged as a target for Italian giants Inter Milan, who're readying a late swoop for the Belgium international. Here are the full details of these transfer headlines.
Trabzonspor and Besiktas lead chase to sign Benalouane
According to Leicester Mercury, Leicester's Yohan Benalouane has been linked with a move to Trabzonspor and Besiktas.
Turkish champions Besiktas are said to be in the transfer market for a new center back to partner with Pepe, and they're ready to take on Trabzonspor in the fight for Benalouane's signature. Recent arrivals at Leicester City suggest the Foxes do not see the Tunisian defender as part of their regular first team plans this season and a move away from King Power Stadium looks certain. Yohan Benalouane made just a “handful” of appearances for Leicester City during the last term and has been rumored to leave the club this summer.
Andre Gomes want to leave Barcelona
Italian champions Juventus are leading the chase to sign Andre Gomes amid interest from the Premier League, according to Football Espana.
It is suggested that a loan deal looks the most “feasible” option with the Italian champions “readying” a move for the Portugal international. Premier League trio Liverpool, Chelsea and West Ham United have all been linked with the 24-year-old this summer but as yet there are no formal bids on the table for the Portuguese. Andre Gomes joined Barca from Valencia last year.
Gomes is said to be unhappy with his bit part role at Barcelona and is now eyeing a move away from the club
Inter Milan keen on signing Toby Alderweireld
According to 90min, Toby Alderweireld's contract talks with Tottenham Hotspurs have “stalled” in recent days, with the center back said to have demanded wages which stand alongside some club's highest paid players.
With his contract talks seemingly at a “standstill,” the Belgium international's future at the White Hart Lane has been thrown into serious doubt and now Italian giants Inter Milan are ready to take on this uncertainty. The Italian club is “alive” to Alderweireld's situation at Tottenham, and they're said to be keeping close tabs on the defender with a view to making a last minute move.
