Manchester United have their two new midfielders in the form of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, but want to continue their overhaul by signing Manu Kone. Crysencio Summerville remains a target, but Marcus Rashford’s future will play a part. Chelsea could also move for Kone, and are lining up a third bid for Pep Chavarria and are still interested in Maxence Lacroix. Manchester City like Malo Gusto, but his £75m asking price is considered too high.

Tottenham are plotting a bid for Eli Junior Kroupi, and are interested in Neco Williams, but both Cristian Romero and Djed Spence could be on their way out. Liverpool have been linked with Spence, and remain interested in Bradley Barcola after Paris Saint-Germain decided to sell. Follow the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below!

Everton eye Lewis

Everton are stepping up their interest in Manchester City man Rico Lewis, Teamtalk claims.

David Moyes is a big admirer of the 21-year-old's versatility, with the defender able to play on both sides of defence and in midfield. City are open to a sale for the right price, with a fee of around £30million expected to be enough.

Liverpool hold fresh talks over Barcola

Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola.

The France forward has emerged as a key transfer target for the start of the Andoni Iraola era at Anfield after it became clear that RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande only had eyes for PSG.

Arsenal have also been linked with Barcola, but TEAMtalk claim that Liverpool - who are seeking to replace Mohamed Salah having already signed Spain winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna - have now made fresh contact over a deal for the 23-year-old.

PSG are said to be eager to offload Barcola, who is keen on a switch to Merseyside.

Julian Alvarez rejects Arsenal move

Julian Alvarez has rejected the chance to join Arsenal, Spanish outlet Sport reports.

The Gunners had believed they had the edge on Barcelona to sign the Argentina attacker, but Alvarez has his heart set on a move to the Camp Nou side.

He moved from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid in 2024 for £81.8m (€95m) and has scored 25 La Liga goals in two seasons.

He is currently preparing to face England in tonight’s World Cup semi-final, after scoring a spectacular goal against Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

Olise wants Madrid move

According to Footmercato, Michael Olise is intent on securing a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Olise, 24, has just finished his World Cup campaign following France’s 2-0 loss to Spain in the semi-final last night (Tuesday).

He moved to Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in 2024 for £50.9m (€60m) on a contract until 2029 and has contributed 27 goals and 34 assists in 66 Bundesliga appearances for the Bavarian behemoths.

But now Florentino Perez has made it his mission to secure the former Chelsea and Manchester City academy player Real Madrid’s record signing.

The fee would likely exceed £150m.

Rico Lewis on Everton's radar as Moyes looks to strengthen

Manchester City utility man Rico Lewis is on David Moyes’ Everton shortlist, according to TEAMTalk.

Lewis, 21, is a City academy graduate, but fell out of favour under Pep Guardiola last season.

Now, reports suggest the club are ready to allow the England U-21 international to move on if the Toffees meet their evaluation for him - rumoured to be around £30m.

Everton are also interested in Man City’s Jack Grealish, who was on loan with Moyes’ side last season, but are only willing to spend up to £10m on him, despite City wanting five times that.

He signed for the Sky Blues for £100m in 2021 - a then-British transfer record.

Saudi clubs want Martinelli transfer

Arsenal and Brazil forward Gabriel Martinelli could follow Leandro Trossard through the exit door amid reported interest from several Saudi Pro League clubs.

TEAMTalk report Martinelli, 25, is the subject of interest from Al Nassr, among other Saudi clubs.

Leandro Trossard is expected to complete a £17m move to Besiktas in the coming days, after being pictured arriving in Turkey, meaning Martinelli’s potential departure will leave Arsenal very light at left-wing.

Mikel Arteta is trying to resolve this by signing Club Brugge and Greece forward Christos Tzolis, according to rumours from several sources.

Martinelli scored a last-gasp winner against South Korea in the round of 32 to put Brazil through, before they were eliminated in the last 16 by Norway and an Erling Haaland double in a 2-1 loss.
