Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe. Transfers home page | Men's summer grades | Women's grades Trending rumors - Nottingham Forest have made a £70 million offer to Brentford for striker Igor Thiago, according to transfer reporter Rudy Galetti. It's unclear how the Bees have responded to the move, though the Brazil forward has a long-term contract until 2031 in West London. It's claimed that a late departure cannot be ruled out for the 25-year-old, who was the second-best goalscorer (22) in the Premier League last season, behind only Erling Haaland. - Tottenham are in talks with Galatasaray over a transfer switch for midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, reports Sacha Tavolieri. The 23-year-old has reportedly been told by Spurs that he is free to leave, five years on from joining the club. Sarr didn't feature in Tottenham's defeat to Brentford over the weekend, amid those transfer exit discussions. - Lautaro Martínez won't be leaving Inter Milan this summer, with the club deeming the star to be untouchable in the remaining days of the transfer window. That's according to Gazzetta dello Sport, which claims that the Nerazzurri won't consider an exit for the 29-year-old, amid links with a switch to Barcelona. Martinez has three years left on his deal at San Siro, having racked up 377 appearances for the club and 175 goals. - With that in mind, TEAMtalk claims that Barcelona has pivoted towards a potential deal for Victor Osimhen. The Galatasaray striker is claimed to be another alternative to Julián Álvarez, with a summer-long pursuit for the Atletico Madrid star not progressing. A move for Osimhen could still prove challenging, with Arsenal also linked with a switch for the Nigeria international. - Chelsea have rejected an offer from AS Roma for winger Jamie Gittens, reports Sky Sports. It's claimed that the offer was an initial loan with the option of a permanent switch to Italy at the end of the season. The 22-year-old moved to Chelsea last season from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of £48 million, where he has since made 27 appearances, with one goal and five assists to his name. Gittens is unlikely to depart Stamford Bridge, following the exit of Alejandro Garnacho and a potential move for Pedro Neto.
