Stay updated with all the latest transfer developments, speculation and rumours as the summer window gathers momentum.
The transfer market is in full swing, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all pushing to strengthen their squads before the new season. Arsenal’s pursuit of Morgan Rogers looks to be the headline move, though that transfer is unlikely to progress until after the World Cup. In the meantime, the Gunners are keeping tabs on Bradley Barcola and Ayyoub Bouaddi, have opened discussions for Christos Tzolis, and are aiming to finalise deals for Andria Bartishvili and Jeremy Monga.
Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Mateus Fernandes and are now targeting his West Ham team-mate Crysencio Summerville. However, their key target Sandro Tonali appears to be edging closer to a £90 million-plus move to Tottenham. Spurs, meanwhile, could see the departures of Lucas Bergvall and Luka Vuskovic, even as they pursue Fernandes, Savinho, and are now being linked with Marcus Rashford.
Julian Alvarez has publicly expressed his wish to leave Atletico Madrid amid interest from Barcelona, but the Spanish club have firmly ruled out such a move. Liverpool have launched a renewed bid for Yan Diomande but face strong competition from Paris Saint-Germain, while Chelsea are pushing to sign Adam Wharton as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez, who is said to be eager to join Real Madrid.
Aston Villa are reportedly interested in West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, with manager Unai Emery a known admirer. However, The Athletic reports that no formal negotiations have taken place and that any move would depend on Villa generating funds through player sales. Bowen, who still has four years left on his contract, has yet to decide on his future, with a £50 million valuation being suggested.
Atletico Madrid have reiterated that Julian Alvarez will not be sold to Barcelona, calling such a transfer a matter of honour. Instead, they are exploring a possible deal with Arsenal, which could involve a player-plus-cash arrangement featuring Viktor Gyökeres and up to £51 million for the Argentine forward, according to Spanish outlet COPE.
Paris Saint-Germain are also in the mix for £100 million-rated Yan Diomande and will compete with Liverpool for his signature, according to reports from Bild. Liverpool’s £86 million offer was recently rejected, and PSG’s financial strength and status as European champions could give them the edge. With Andoni Iraola searching for a replacement for Mo Salah and Bradley Barcola linked with a move to Arsenal, Luis Enrique may also need to bring in reinforcements.
Chelsea are said to be working on a deal to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton amid growing expectations that Enzo Fernandez will depart for Real Madrid. Reports suggest Fernandez has already reached an agreement in principle with the Spanish giants, prompting Chelsea to move swiftly for Wharton in a deal worth around £75 million, with the England international reportedly open to the switch.
Despite interest earlier in the year, Chelsea are not expected to revive their pursuit of Tottenham youngster Lucas Bergvall, according to journalist Dom Smith. The 2026 World Cup-bound Swedish midfielder has reportedly informed manager Roberto De Zerbi of his desire to leave Spurs due to concerns over limited playing time. Spurs have set a £45 million asking price, but Chelsea, who explored a deal in January, are understood to have ruled out returning for him this summer. There is also no interest from Chelsea in signing Manchester City’s departing defender John Stones or Arsenal’s teenage prospect Ethan Nwaneri.
Declan Rice could play a pivotal role in Arsenal’s efforts to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa this summer. The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal are intensifying their interest in Rogers, with Rice leading a 'charm offensive' during England’s World Cup campaign in the United States, alongside Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze. Both Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly believe that Villa may be persuaded to sell for around £85 million.
Tottenham are said to be plotting a surprise move for Marcus Rashford. The England international’s future remains uncertain, with Barcelona choosing not to activate the clause in his loan deal that would have made his move permanent for approximately £26 million. Rashford is thus expected to return to Manchester United after the World Cup, though it is unclear whether Michael Carrick will reintegrate him into the first-team squad. According to The I, Spurs are assessing a potential offer below United’s £40 million valuation.
Atletico Madrid continue to insist that Julian Alvarez will not be leaving this summer, despite the player’s public request earlier in the day. The club told AS, “There is no amount of money for which Barcelona can buy Julian Alvarez. He will not be transferred to Barcelona. Either they pay the €500 million (£431 million) release clause, or there is no deal.”
Italian journalist Nico Schira reports that Tottenham are preparing a second offer for Sandro Tonali after seeing their initial £75 million bid rejected by Newcastle. Spurs are expected to return with a proposal worth around £86 million. The Italian midfielder is said to be open to a new challenge, with both Manchester clubs and Arsenal also expressing interest.
