Ruben Amorim is now the leading contender for the Milan job, as @JamesHorncastle called.
Amorim was never a serious contender for Benfica as he was never open to returning to Portugal.๐ต๐น

Cody Gakpo hasnโt told Liverpool directly he wants to leave.
However, there has been recent interest in Gakpo from Italy, and Bayern from last summer.
Liverpool not actively looking to sell and have noted the fee on Anthony Gordonโs ยฃ70m Barcelona move, which would inform their valuation. Gakpo is well contracted until 2030.
Liverpool also have no plans to keep Mo Salah despite comments from Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy that โthings could changeโ.๐ด

Luka Vuskovic is open to leaving Spurs following a ยฃ30m bid from Brighton, as @David_Ornstein called.
Spurs not inclined to sell, but Brighton hoping that stance softens given Vuskovic keen to join.
Spurs also still actively in talks with Brighton over Jan Paul van Hecke.
Vuskovic is on the radar of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter and Juventus, but Brighton is viewed as a strong sporting option.๐ญ๐ท
