Napoli have reportedly joined the long list of clubs interested in a move for Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
The Albania international is on the radar of several teams after scoring six Premier League goals during a productive loan spell with Southampton last season.
Chelsea are on the lookout for a new number nine to fill the void left by Romelu Lukaku's loan exit for Inter Milan, but it remains to be seen if Broja has a future at the club under Thomas Tuchel.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are interested in signing Broja if Arsenal and Manchester United-linked Victor Osimhen leaves the club this summer.
However, Luciano Spalletti's side may have to battle West Ham United and Newcastle United for the signature of the 20-year-old, who has four years left to run on his deal at Stamford Bridge.
Broja is not the only Albania international who may be on the move this summer, as Barcelona could soon be about to part ways with Rey Manaj.
The 25-year-old has failed to break into the squad under Xavi and is widely expected to depart after entering the final year of his contract with the Catalan giants.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Watford have agreed a deal to sign the striker from Barcelona, and he is set to join the Hornets on a three-year contract.
Manaj is expected to finalise his transfer to the Championship club this afternoon, ending a largely forgettable two-and-a-half year spell at Camp Nou.
The Albanian leaves Barcelona without making a single first-team appearance, but he managed five goals from 30 Serie A appearances on loan at Spezia last season.
Another relegated side set to bolster their attacking ranks for the 2022-23 season is Norwich City, who are closing in on the capture of Sao Paulo's Gabriel Sara.
The 23-year-old has risen through the youth ranks with the Brasileiro side to make 113 appearances in all tournaments, scoring 17 goals and setting up nine more.
According to Goal, Norwich are now poised to sign Sara on a five-year deal until the summer of 2027, and the Canaries will fork out a £12m fee for his services.
The report adds that Sara has also given the green light to the transfer and is hopeful of achieving promotion to the Premier League with Norwich for the 2023-24 campaign.
Over in the Netherlands, the protracted saga surrounding the future of Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico is seemingly set to come to an end with a switch to Ligue 1.
The 29-year-old saw a move to Barcelona fall through last summer, but he has been strongly tipped to complete a move to Camp Nou this time around ahead of his imminent Ajax departure.
However, French outlet L'Equipe now claims that Lyon have reached an agreement with Ajax to sign Tagliafico and will pay the Eredivisie champions an upfront fee of €4m (£3.4m).
The report adds that Tagliafico is yet to give the green light to the transfer, though, and Peter Bosz's side have lined up alternatives in the forms of Adrien Truffert, Alex Grimaldo and Pervis Estupinan.
Tagliafico is due to become a free agent at the end of next season and has also been linked with a move to Brighton & Hove Albion, who could lose Marc Cucurella to Manchester City. body check tags ::
