Transfer rumour roundup: Real Madrid ready to smash world record for Olise; Arsenal shut door on Gyokeres exit | OneFootball

Thursday's transfer rumours feature Real Madrid's readiness to break the world transfer record, and Arsenal's stance on Viktor Gyokeres's future.

Florentino Perez wants to celebrate his re-election at Real Madrid with a trademark Galactico signing. The dream target remains Michael Olise, despite Bayern Munich's insistence that the Frenchman is not for sale. According to Látigo Serrano, Real are ready to test their luck with an opening offer of €180M (£155m), and are prepared to break the €222m world transfer record if needed.

One player who will not be heading to Madrid isViktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has been linked with Atletico Madrid, as part of a potential makeweight in an Arsenal deal for Julian Alvarez. Gyokeres scored 21 goals during his debut campaign in North London, but has been suggested as a potential sweetener. Caught Offside have poured cold water on those claims.

However, teammateGabriel Martinelli could be heading for the Emirates exit door. The Times are reporting that the Brazilian winger is weighing up his future, as Arsenal continue to prioritise signing a new left winger. He has just 12 months to run on his current deal.

Manchester United are planning a goalkeeper clear-out. Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir and Radek Vitik could all leave Old Trafford this summer, with promoted trio Hull, Coventry and Ipswich all chasing the latter.

Fresh from securingChampions League football, Aston Villa are eyeing a deal for Jarrod Bowen. The club captain could leave West Ham after relegation to the Championship, and could swap the second tier for the bright lights of Europe's elite. Sky Sports say Villa are weighing up an offer, though the Irons are seeking £50m.

Over atChelsea, the West Londoners are on the lookout for central defenders. Talks have started with Crystal Palace over Maxence Lacroix, while Como defender Jacobo Ramon is also on the radar. Xabi Alonso is eyeing an overhaul of his Blues' backline, with Marco Palestra already on route to the capital.
