With the summer transfer window set to close on 1 September, clubs across Europe are pushing to finalise their squads for the 2026/27 season. Several Premier League teams, including Liverpool and Arsenal, are hoping to make late additions in the coming days.
Liverpool's long-standing interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola remains a key story. While no formal bid has been submitted, negotiations are ongoing, with PSG reportedly seeking £145m and Liverpool hoping to secure a deal closer to £120m. Barcola was notably absent from PSG's French Super Cup squad last week, and reports suggest a deal could be completed before the end of August.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, after their pursuit of Vinicius Jr ended, have reportedly turned their attention to Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz. The Turkiye international is valued at over £60m, and negotiations are expected, with a potential player exchange involving Gabriel Martinelli also mentioned. The Gunners are aiming to sign a left-sided forward before the window closes.
Elsewhere, Manchester City are reportedly close to securing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for around £85m, following the departures of Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Tijjani Reijnders. Manchester United have made a £60m offer for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, with a deal potentially being agreed before the deadline. Tottenham are also looking to add Omar Marmoush from Manchester City for around £75m, following an agreed deal for Savinho.
