With the summer transfer window now gaining momentum, European clubs are rebuilding their teams, with Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, and the rest of them dominating the headlines.
Pre-seasons having commenced, a few of the best stars of the world could be in line for a transfer in the near future.
Arsenal’s Pursuit of Bernabéu Star
Arsenal’s pursuit of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo has accelerated, with it reported that the Gunners are optimistic of signing the Brazilian. A £70m signing, the Brazilian is reportedly unsure of his role in Madrid’s team with new manager Xabi Alonso and has put himself in the shop window. Mikel Arteta would like to introduce a bit of class into attacking line and feels Rodrygo would be the perfect player to fill his attack-hinging plan.
Atletico Madrid Go Big for Romero
They are also to the fore in Spain to sign Tottenham no-nonsense centre-half Cristian Romero. Argentine centre-half Romero has made a huge impression since he arrived at the Spurs and Atletico are also reported to be making a £61 million bid to play him at the Wanda Metropolitano.
London Battle for Kudus
And in transfer rumor, Tottenham’s bid of £50m for Mohammed Kudus was turned down by West Ham. The 24-year-old Ghanaian midfielder, who had a decent first Premier League season, remains an Ange Postecoglou number one target priority. But the Hammers don’t want to lose the 24-year-old unless they get a much improved offer.
Man United Shaping Their Attack
Manchester United will auction Jadon Sancho for £25 million, and Juventus remains in the hunt. Sancho is also said to be agreeable to a salary reduction in a bid to complete a Turin transfer. Red Devils are also on the verge of signing Aston Villa winger Ollie Watkins, with talks having already begun. Villa is said to be asking for £60 million.
Conte Wants Lookman, Newcastle Chase Trafford
Napoli new boss Antonio Conte is targeting Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman at Atalanta, who has caught his eye with his display in Serie A. Newcastle are meanwhile preparing to seal the signing of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford and negotiate further with Nottingham Forest for a switch on Swedish winger Anthony Elanga.
