Should a transfer to Spain fail to materialise, Grealish could target a second loan spell at Everton following a productive temporary stay on Merseyside, while a return to Aston Villa remains an alternative route.
The Sun writes: "Atletico Madrid are considering a surprise move for Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish.
”SunSport understands the £100 million winger has admirers at the Wanda Metropolitano due to his workrate on and off the ball.
”And should a move to Atletico not work out, he could target a return to Everton after a decent loan spell saw him score twice and provide six assists.
”The Toffees are keen to take Grealish on another loan and see it as a realistic and risk-free move.
”A return to boyhood club Aston Villa is also a possibility, five years after he left Villa Park."
Spurs target Osimhen after initial proposal
Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as potential suitors for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, who remains eager to secure a move to the Premier League.
Spurs have reportedly submitted an opening proposal valued between £50m and £55m, though Galatasaray are holding out for a fee nearer to £65m for the 27-year-old forward.
Standard Sport writes: "Victor Osimhen is open to joining Tottenham, according to reports. It has been claimed that Osimhen is a new name on Spurs' transfer wishlist.
”Now at Galatasaray, Osimhen is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League and Caught Offside report that personal terms would not be an issue with the player open to join Spurs.
”Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur claims Tottenham have made their first move to sign Osimhen by making an opening offer worth between £50 million and £55m.
”Galatasaray want closer to £65m to sell the 27-year-old."
Bayindir edges closer to Celta Vigo transfer
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is finalising a departure to La Liga outfit Celta Vigo.
The 28-year-old Turkey international, who was restricted to 17 appearances across three years at Old Trafford, saw his status in the squad further diminished following the arrivals of Senne Lammens and Karl Darlow.
The Mirror writes: "Altay Bayindir is getting closer to completing a move away from Manchester United this summer. La Liga club Celta Vigo are set to sign the Turkey international.
”United signed Bayindir from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, but the shot-stopper has made just 17 appearances during his three years at Old Trafford. Bayindir joined United to serve as the understudy to Andre Onana, which was the case for his first two years at the club.
”That changed last summer when Senne Lammens signed for the Red Devils and went on to become the club’s new No.1 goalkeeper. Bayindir's prospects at United have been shrouded in doubt for quite some time, particularly following the club's decision to bring in Karl Darlow on a free transfer earlier this summer."

In addition to pursuing the Norway youth captain, Hull City are advancing negotiations for 18-year-old Colorado Rapids centre-back Lucas Herrington and Nice winger Mohamed-Ali Cho.
MailSport writes: "Hull City are ready to fend off interest from Rangers and Cardiff City to sign highly-rated Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl.
”Cardiff had offered a club record fee for the 20-year-old from Tromso but Hull are offering him the chance to play in the Premier League.
”The 6ft 4ins defensive midfielder has captained Norway at youth level and is an U21 international.
”Hull are also advancing in talks for 18-year-old centre back Lucas Herrington from Colorado Rapids and winger Mohamed-Ali Cho from Nice."
