Arsenal are reportedly looking into a potential transfer for Vinicius Jr, provided the 26-year-old Brazilian winger declines to renew his current agreement with Real Madrid. However, incoming manager Jose Mourinho is pushing to keep his core squad together, standing against any potential departure for the star. Meanwhile, the Gunners are also considering a record-breaking bid for 26-year-old Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez.
Elsewhere, Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, 28, is attracting interest from Inter Milan. Real Madrid saw their £85.4m offer for 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande turned down, as the youngster remains on the radar for both Liverpool and Manchester City. At the same time, AS Roma is growing impatient with Manchester United over their hesitation to finalize a move for Manu Kone.
Juventus has entered discussions with the representatives of 31-year-old Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes regarding a possible move. Chelsea continues to hold firm on their valuation, rejecting a third proposal from Como for 27-year-old defender Trevoh Chalobah, while Napoli is eyeing a transfer for Chelsea’s 25-year-old center-back Benoit Badiashile. Additionally, free agent Julian Brandt has received interest from Leeds United and Ajax, Nottingham Forest has boosted their offer for Givairo Read to £17.5m, and West Ham maintains that 21-year-old El Hadji Malick Diouf is not available for transfer despite interest from Brentford.
