Real Madrid are reportedly prioritising a move for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen and are expected to submit an offer of over $92.5 million (\u20ac80 million, \u00a369.1 million).<\/p>\n<p>Napoli are seeking a reduction on the $50.9 million (\u20ac44 million, \u00a338 million) option to sign Rasmus H\u00f8jlund permanently from Man Utd, with that clause becoming an obligation if Antonio Conte\u2019s side qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United continue to explore defensive cover and have targeted Nottingham Forest centre back Murillo as back-up for Lisandro Mart\u00ednez. Inter have indicated Alessandro Bastoni is not untouchable amid interest from Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>In midfield activity, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a bid for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez, but the Blues have been warned a fee of $173.5 million (\u20ac150 million, \u00a3129.5 million) would be required to convince them to sell.
