By Jordan Harris

To kick off our latest transfer update, Newcastle United have seen a £40 million bid for James Maddison rejected by Leicester City. The Magpies are weighing up making a fresh offer. Meanwhile, the Foxes want closer to £60 million, according to Sky Sports.

Charles De Ketelaere will fly to Italy today to complete his move to AC Milan. The striker was heavily linked with a Leeds United switch. But he only wanted to join the Rossoneri. The deal will cost the Serie A side around £30.2 million, Fabrizio Romano claims.

Leeds may switch their attention to Che Adams. The Whites wanted the Southampton striker back in 2020. And they may now make a fresh offer of around £10 million. The Saints want more, but there is optimism that a deal can get done, The Sun reports.

Tottenham Hotspur could make a bid to sign Nikola Milenkovic in August. The defender has an agreement in place with Fiorentina that he can leave if a good offer comes in this summer, according to Fiorentina.It.

Transfer latest: Newcastle make contact over Cornet; Crystal Palace eye Loftus-Cheek

Newcastle have been in contact with Burnley over a move for Maxwel Cornet. The Magpies are yet to make an offer despite the forward’s £17.5 million release clause. In fact, they would be prepared to pay more if the fee could be paid in instalments. And the Clarets are open to that idea, 90min reports.

Arsenal may get the chance to offload Pablo Mari to Monza. The defender spent the second-half of last season on loan with Udinese. And Monza are ready to offer him the chance to return to Serie A, Calciomercato claims.

Crystal Palace are eyeing a move for Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Eagles have been pursuing Morgan Gibbs-White, but are now looking elsewhere. And they could target the Chelsea man on another loan, The Sun reports.

And finally, Arsenal have confirmed that Nuno Tavares has joined Marseille on a season-long loan.
