This comes as EPL champions’ forward Eden Hazard overturned a possible move to Real Madrid as he is said to have called the European side coach Zinedine Zidane informing him that it was not possible this summer.
Everton, West Ham, Marseille and AC Milan have expressed seeking Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud who Dortmund are also eyeing before the close of the transfer window.
Chelsea reached an agreement with Monaco on a move that could see midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, 22, join the Antonio Conte side for £40m on a five-year deal.
Conte is said to be gearing up to release midfielder Nemanja Matic, 28, for a £40m deal and it is rumored that Matic wants to join Manchester United.
