The Guardian are reporting that Romelu Lukaku could be on his way back to Stamford Bridge if a deal for Alvaro Morata does not materialise. Conte is looking to sure up his attacking options with Diego Costa seemingly on the way out.
Keeping with the theme of players returning to former clubs, Sky in Germany are reporting that Mario Gotze is set to rejoin his former club Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth around €22m. Gotze may not be welcomed back with open arms but at least he may actually get some playing time.
Pep Guardiola has confirmed what everyone already knows by revealing that he is chasing Leroy Sane. The former Munich boss stated "I do not know what is going to happen, but right now he is with Schalke." He isn't lying, Sane is at Schalke and it will take an eye-watering £42m to prize the 20-year-old away.
Guardiola is also looking to sign Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos. According to The Guardian, Pep is looking to reunite with the German in a bid to add some much needed guile and craft to the City midfield.
Stoke have made a £20m offer for Saido Berahino according to BBC. It seems as if Berahino has been trying to force a move away from West Brom since the beginning of time and Mark Hughes may be the man to step in and finally make it happen. Crystal Palace and Watford are also reportedly interested.
