LIVE Transfer Talk: Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern circle for Juventus' Federico Chiesa

The summer transfer window is closed for the top leagues in Europe! After a summer full of international football, countless clubs waited until the last minute to pull off their transfers. See all the major deals here and check out how we graded the biggest signings. But just because the window is shut until January, that doesn't mean the rumours won't keep coming.

TOP STORY: Juve's Chiesa attracting attention from top clubs

Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are keen on Juventus winger Federico Chiesa but the Italian club view the 23-year-old as untouchable, according to Calciomercato.

It has been reported that Chelsea offered €100 million to sign the Italy international in the summer, but Juventus turned down the proposal and don't fear holding onto the player in the future. They signed the winger on loan from Fiorentina in 2020 for a €10m fee over two years, with a €40m option to permanently secure his services in 2022.

The Blues are set to make a move for him again but are closely followed by Liverpool and Bayern Munich. However, it doesn't change the plans for Juventus, who aren't worried about losing him.

Chiesa was a key player for Italy in their victory at Euro 2020, helping turn the tide against England in the final. His seven appearances and two goals at the tournament has attracted interest but his season so far with Juventus has been stop-start, suffering with injuries and only managing 184 minutes so far in four appearances with one goal in a key 3-2 win over Spezia midweek.

20.30 BST: Paul Pogba may be Juventus' first choice to strengthen their midfield this summer, but Calciomercato writes that AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is a target the Bianconeri are seriously considering after attempting to sign the 21-year-old France international before this most recent transfer window closed. The club from the Principality are said to be willing to sanction Tchouameni's exit for a transfer fee of €40m, and that Chelsea are also working to complete a deal.

18.00 BST: FC Porto winger Luis Diaz is on the radar of Barcelona, according to Marca.

16.00 BST: Real Madrid are looking to sign Kylian Mbappe in January as they hope he will continue to reject contract offers from PSG, says AS.

Mbappe, 22, earns around €15m per year at PSG and is available on a free transfer in July 2022.

L'Equipe reports that PSG have made four attempts to get Mbappe to sign a new contract, the most recent of which was a five-year deal at €25m per year which was rebuffed, before PSG went back with the same salary increase for two years... again rebuffed.

AS reports that Real Madrid are looking to take advantage and "their plan is to hand Mbappe a bumper signing-on fee and a six-year contract."

Given he won't be out of contract, Madrid will have to part with some cash to make the deal happen. They offered over €200m in the summer, but can expect that figure to be greatly reduced as he's only six months away from a free transfer.

09.00 BST: Manchester United's scouts have been instructed to identify alternative options to Declan Rice in the club's search for a defensive midfielder next summer, sources told ESPN, amid concerns over West Ham's valuation of the player and contrasting opinions within Old Trafford over his ability to significantly improve the team.

Rice, 22, emerged from England's Euro 2020 campaign as one of the key figures in Gareth Southgate's team as the Three Lions reached their first major tournament final since the 1966 World Cup. His performances for England have been followed by an impressive start to this season for David Moyes' team, who have faced United in their last two senior fixtures in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.

Though United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains an admirer of Rice, sources told ESPN the club's recruitment team is yet to be convinced the former Republic of Ireland youth international possesses the qualities to take the team to another level.
