Arsenal are reportedly making a breakthrough in their pursuit of Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr, with a transfer now considered possible after his contract talks in Spain stalled. The Gunners are also targeting Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, though an initial bid has been rejected as the clubs negotiate over a fee.
Both potential deals would require fees near or exceeding £100m. To facilitate such significant transfers, Arsenal may need to sell players, with Christian Norgaard reportedly set for an exit to Everton. Myles Lewis-Skelly could also be a notable sale, as Manchester United are exploring options to bring in the defender.
Manchester United are also aiming for a left-back, with Lewis Hall from Newcastle in contention. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford could be leaving Old Trafford, with Fenerbahce emerging as a surprise suitor for the England international.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United have signed Czech international goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Braga for a reported fee of €30.6m (£26.2m) on a five-year deal. Jordan Henderson has joined Chelsea on a two-year free transfer after his contract with Brentford was mutually terminated.
