Manchester City are reportedly exploring a move for Chelsea's Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 25. This comes as Spain midfielder Rodri, 30, is expected to join Barcelona.
Elsewhere, Arsenal could face competition from Manchester United for 21-year-old Italy striker Pio Esposito, who Inter Milan value at £73m. Liverpool have also held preliminary talks with Paris St-Germain for France forward Bradley Barcola, 23, but a significant gap remains in their valuations.
After missing out on Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr, Arsenal are reportedly targeting Barcola, Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, 26, and Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, 26. Newcastle have also rejected an initial enquiry from Manchester United for 21-year-old England full-back Lewis Hall, stating he is not for sale this summer.
