Trending Rumors
– Manchester United has made direct contact with Lyon regarding midfielder Corentin Tolisso, according to L’Equipe. The 30-year-old may not be eager to leave the Ligue 1 side, but his dropped form last season and Lyon’s financial struggles could push a deal. While Lyon hopes Tolisso will remain captain following Alexandre Lacazette’s exit, he’s also attracting interest from Saudi club Neom and Atlético Madrid. After turning down an offer from Turkey, he seems more open to a move to England, having experienced Old Trafford during United’s thrilling 5-4 Europa League win in April.
– Bayern Munich is reportedly pursuing Arsenal and Crystal Palace for midfielder Back seat, according to The Sun. Arsenal is keen to sign the 27-year-old, but Bayern coach Vincent Kompany aims to bring back former Palace star Michael Ollis. Bayern seeks to enhance their offense to support Champions League ambitions, particularly after Jamal Musiala suffered significant injuries during the Club World Cup. Furthermore, Bayern is eyeing a contract with Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku.
– Barcelona is reportedly in discussions with Marcus Rashford’s representatives to finalize a deal for the Manchester United forward, according to TeamTalk. The 28-year-old is not included in Reuben Amorim’s plans upon returning from his loan at Aston Villa. However, negotiations could be tricky, with Barcelona aiming for a loan with an option for a permanent transfer, while Manchester United desires a full transfer to reinvest in their squad.
– Arsenal’s potential trade with Sporting CP for Viktor might collapse due to disagreements over bonuses. Initial negotiations seemed successful, with Arsenal offering €63 million plus €10 million in bonuses, but Sporting demands that the bonuses be easily attainable, while Arsenal is resisting this stipulation. All possibilities remain on the table, and intervention from agent Hasan Cetinkaya might be necessary.
– VFB Stuttgart is set to discuss internally if Bayern Munich places a €65 million offer for striker Nick Urtimayd, based on reports. The outcome of these discussions remains uncertain, but a meeting of club executives is planned. Stuttgart has previously denied holding talks with Bayern and is looking to move away from a €40 million initial and €5 million bonus offer.
Expert Opinions
James Olley of ESPN reflects on Arsenal’s interest in Burnley’s player.
Arsenal hopes to add Chelsea’s Sports CP and Viktor Gyökeres from Noni Madueke before departing for a preseason tour to Singapore and Hong Kong on Saturday, but remains open to further attacking reinforcements if opportunities arise.
They are still interested in Eberechi Eze and are willing to explore terms with Crystal Palace. Eze’s release clause is reportedly around £70 million, with interest from multiple clubs. Palace might be tempted to negotiate below that figure, but Arsenal is nearing a position where they may need to offload players before adding new ones—especially as they look to integrate Gyökeres and Madueke along with Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga as new signings. Defender Christian Mosquera is also approaching a deal with Valencia.
