Latest transfer news today: Mo Salah saga update as Bayern Munich are linked with PL striker

We are now less than three weeks away from the beginning of the new Premier League season, and all 20 clubs are now involved in a race against time to sign players in time for those opening fixtures.

Transfers are now expected to be completed far more quickly than they were in July, and the rumour mill has hit overdrive.

Below, we run through the biggest transfer stories from the last 24 hours.

Mo Salah considers shock Trabzonspor switch

Mo Salah is reportedly considering signing for Trabzonspor this summer, with the former Liverpool man still without a club as the new European football season approaches.

The Egyptian winger has been linked with moves to the USA and Saudi Arabia for much of the summer, but Trabzonspor have now reportedly offered him a chance to remain in European football.

According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoglu, Salah has been offered a two-year deal worth €325,000 a week from Trabzonspor, and he is seriously considering giving them the green light.

If Salah is to remain in Europe this summer, Trabzonspor would be an interesting choice, but for that kind of money at his age, you could hardly blame him for accepting.

Bayern Munich linked with Benjamin Sesko

Bayern Munich are said to be preparing for life after Harry Kane, and Benjamin Sesko is a name of interest for the club's hierarchy.

The Manchester United striker had a mixed debut season at Old Trafford, but he is expected to kick on in the coming years. Bayern are said to be keen on the Slovenian after being impressed by his performances for RB Leipzig when he was playing in Germany.

According to the reliable CFBayern on X, Sesko is on Bayern's shortlist for their Kane replacement and will make a move for the forward if he fails to establish himself in the Premier League next season.

Kane's current deal in Munich expires in 2027, and he is yet to sign a new deal at the Allianz Arena, meaning he could walk away for free next summer.

Arsenal to make a move for Ezri Konsa

Mikel Arteta's love affair with central defenders is set to continue this summer with the Gunners back in the market for defensive reinforcements in light of William Saliba's injury.

According to Sportsboomcom on X, Arteta is keen on signing Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa, with the England international a proven option to strengthen their defence.

Arsenal are said to be preparing a £65m bid for the 28-year-old, but Aston Villa will do everything they can to keep hold of him.

Given that Villa have already lost Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers this summer, the last thing they need ahead of another season in the Champions League is another major departure.
