Not even close

Arsenal have not yet come close to Palace’s £80m valuation and they have tried to include a loan for teenage attacker Reiss Nelson in the deal. Their opening offer of £40m was knocked back by Palace, who feel in a strong position with Zaha contracted to the south London club until 2023. The 26-year-old has made no secret of wanting to leave Selhurst Park to play at a higher level. Arsenal have not yet had competition from other clubs for Zaha.

Woah

La Repubblica claims Manchester United are on the verge of signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio for €75m plus bonuses. It’s significantly lower than the €120m President Claudio Lotito claims to have rejected last season, but by his own admission, there were fewer resources to keep the Serbian this time around.

Delayed start

Ismael Bennacer has all-but-completed his transfer to Milan but is not expected to start work with his new club until August 10. Bennacer has spent the day at Milan’s offices finishing his medical and signing his contract after agreeing to a €16m move from Empoli. However, Radio Rossonera reports the midfielder will be given an extended break by the Diavolo after recently helping Algeria win the Africa Cup of Nations.

Switched targets

Benfica have reportedly switched their attentions to Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen after passing up Juventus’ Mattia Perin. Benfica are no longer expected to sign Perin after giving a different assessment of his shoulder injury. With that in mind, A Bola writes they are now targeting Olsen.
