Chelsea were ready to offer €100 million (£86m/$117m) for Paris Saint-Germain star Marquinhos in the summer transfer window - according to <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-en-direct-les-infos-et-rumeurs-du-20-septembre_LN-202109200114.html#article_53397" target="_blank">RMC Sport</a>.

Jose Mourinho wants to bring Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot to Roma, writes <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/roma-allarme-terzini-a-destra-manca-l-alternativa-e-spunta-dalot-67691" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>. The manager has been keen on Dalot since he was in charge at Old Trafford and sees an opportunity to add the player on a discount given the defender's fringe status with the Red Devils. Dalot spent last season on loan at AC Milan, so he already carries Serie A experience.

Liverpool should "buy Raheem Sterling tomorrow" but Manchester United would also take him, insists Rio Ferdinand, who believes the Manchester City star is now in "the wilderness" at the Etihad Stadium.
