Liverpool are reportedly hoping to secure a deal for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola after reaching an agreement over personal terms. The Reds are currently in talks with PSG regarding a transfer fee, though the European champions are seeking £145m for the winger. This follows Liverpool's loan signing of Ronald Araujo, who passed a medical on Monday and is available immediately.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are reportedly nearing the signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille for £85m. This move is expected to prepare for the potential departure of Rodri, who is in the final year of his contract and reportedly favours a move to Barcelona. Barcelona's initial £38m offer for Rodri was rejected, but they are considering a second bid.
In other transfer news, Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven has signed a new five-year contract. Van de Ven expressed his delight, stating, “It’s a special moment to sign a new deal and a proud moment for me and my family.”
Arsenal are also active, with Julian Alvarez and Barcola on their list of forward targets. They are also rumoured to be interested in Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. Additionally, Martin Zubimendi, who joined Arsenal last year, could reportedly leave if a suitor matches their £77m asking price.
