Trending rumors
– Arsenal are going all out to sign Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior and manager Mikel Arteta has stepped in to help make the transfer happen, according to Spanish newspaper AS. The Spanish coach has reportedly told the 26-year-old how important he would be for Arsenal. Vinícius is aware that Arsenal’s project would largely revolve around him — something Madrid have not clearly offered. The Brazil international has not been training amid the transfer saga. It is unknown whether he will inform Madrid whether he wishes to sign a new contract or not.
– Atlético Madrid are considering a move for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, who spent time on loan at Everton, according to The Sun. The Spanish club are admirers of his work rate on and off the ball, and he is seen as a good tactical fit for longtime manager Diego Simeone. Even so, Grealish might have to accept a rotation role should he move, given the competition among Atleti’s squad. He could also look to return to Everton if a move to Atleti doesn’t come off.
– Internazionale are negotiating with Tottenham Hotspur for a deal to sign Cristian Romero for around €40 million, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. Inter still need to overcome a gap in valuations with Romero’s agent regarding the commission and salary involved, while the move is likely to be followed by defender Benjamin Pavard‘s departure. Inter are also trying to persuade Liverpool to lower their demands of around €40 million for midfielder Curtis Jones.
– Barcelona are calm about signing Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid and could even decide not to add a striker if they can’t bring in the Argentina international, report Spanish newspaper Diario Sport. Having lost striker Robert Lewandowski, Barça added Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi to an attacking line that already features the likes of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Atlético have been upset with Barça since the club made a €100 million offer for Alvarez, but the forward wants them to negotiate.
– Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are both refusing to re-engage with the race to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande after being approached by intermediaries, as they believe he remains fully committed to joining Real Madrid, according to TEAMtalk. Madrid reached an agreement with the 19-year-old on personal terms but the transfer has been delayed by negotiations between them and Leipzig, with the structure of the add-ons package being the main issue.
