The football world is awash with gossip! Transfer Talk is monitoring the whispers ahead of all the summer moves. Check out the latest deals and potential deals here.

TOP STORY: Barkley names price for Spurs

Ross Barkley could price himself out of a move to Tottenham by demanding wages in excess of top earners Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris, reports the Mirror.

The Everton star has just one year remaining on his contract at Goodison Park and Ronald Koeman has made him dispensable by landing Davy Klaassen and Wayne Rooney, as well as pushing for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The 23-year-old would want £150,000-per-week to swap Merseyside for north London, despite Spurs' wage ceiling set at £120,000-per-week.

The move has been further complicated by Everton's insistence on that Spurs meet the lofty price tag of £50m.

Conte weighing wing-back options

Antonio Conte is targeting a left wing-back after signing new terms on a two-year contract with Chelsea, according to the Standard.

Former Blue Ryan Bertrand and Monaco powerhouse Benjamin Mendy are possible options as the Italian bids to provide competition for Marcos Alonso.

Extra depth on the right, for Victor Moses, appears set to come in the form of Real Madrid's Danilo.

Juventus have blocked the Premier League champions' efforts to sign Alex Sandro, though reuniting with compatriot and former Porto colleague Danilo is likely to appeal.

Pep Guardiola is also pushing hard for a second right-back though, reports Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio, with Danilo next on the list of targets after missing out on Dani Alves.

And the report states that the former Porto star is actually closer to swapping the Bernabeu for the Etihad than Stamford Bridge at this stage.

Saints eye Man City wonder kid

Southampton are lining up a loan move for Patrick Roberts after the Manchester City starlet enjoyed a fine season at Celtic last term, claims the Sun.

Saints and their footballing philosophy would be an attractive option for City as they search for the perfect option in the 20-year-old's next stage of his development.

The English youth international struck 11 goals and made 19 assists under Brendan Rodgers last season to prove himself as one of the finest young talents emerging in British football.

Mauricio Pellegrino will be rivalled by French club Nice, who can offer Roberts Champions League football, which could prove tough to resist.

- Inter Milan are closing in on Fiorentina midfielder Matias Vecino, reports Tuttosport.

The Uruguayan midfielder is a priority for manager Luciano Spalletti, who has already upgraded the position by bringing in the 25-year-old's former team-mate Borja Valero.

- AC Milan will move for Fiorentina striker Nikola Kalinic, according to Corriere dello Sport, to compliment a strike force including Andre Silva and Carlos Bacca.

The Croatia striker enjoyed a phenomenal season with the Viola last term, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, and the 29-year-old is seen as a priority after Borussia Dortmund reportedly ruled out selling Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to rivals missing the deadline.

The Rossoneri also want Fluminense sensation Richarlison, with Gianluca Di Marzio revealing the Brazilian giants will demand €15m for the 20-year-old.
