Inter Milan have enquired about the 28-year-old, Real Madrid and Barcelona have held discussions regarding the defender and Atlético Madrid have tracked him for years and remain attentive to his situation. Spurs have already signed center backs Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi this summer, while they are preparing fresh talks with Micky van de Ven. - Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland are all looking at Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun, Mundo Deportivo reports. The indication is that he will leave the Ligue 1 club, with Juventus best placed to secure the 25-year-old's signature. The Bianconeri already have Jonathan David and Loïs Openda in addition to new signing Jeff Ekhator, but they are equally interested in Balogun. Dortmund and Sunderland are both keeping an eye on him but are considered a step down from Juventus. - AC Milan are dreaming of signing Manchester City attacking midfielder Phil Foden but would have to offload Rafael Leão first, according to Tuttosport. City could be willing to let Foden leave for between €50 million and €60 million, which is the figure that the Rossoneri are expecting to make from Leão's possible departure. There aren't any negotiations that are openly underway yet, but there is a positive relationship between the clubs following Tijjani Reijnders' move to the Etihad last summer. - Free agent Mohamed Salah is on the verge of joining Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas, according to Footmercato. The 34-year-old has already reached an agreement with Besiktas, where he is expected to soon sign a contract that would see him earn €10 million a year as well as a possible €2 million in bonuses. The contract would be one year with the option for another year. The former Liverpool forward has previously been linked with MLS club Sporting Kansas City. - Arsenal are likely to sign a defender and keep Ben White to ensure they have cover for William Saliba while he is injured, according to TEAMtalk. They have monitored several right-backs in recent months, who would have been a replacement for White, including Roma's Wesley, Sporting CP's Iván Fresneda, Eintracht Frankfurt's Nnamdi Collins and Newcastle United's Tino Livramento. Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa is now being considered as a serious option due to his ability to play at center back and right-back.
