European Champions Paris Saint-Germain have joined Arsenal and Al-Nassr in the transfer race to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid this summer. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Brazilian for a long time as they look to bolster their attack before the start of the 2025-26 campaign. However, they are now likely to be dragged into a bidding war for the winger.
Chelsea must reportedly raise over £60 million ($82m) in player sales to register their new signings for next season's Champions League, with UEFA's financial regulations forcing the club into a balancing act. Despite a lucrative Club World Cup run, the Blues face a race against time to offload stars or risk being unable to field their summer recruits in European competitions.
Rangers boss Russell Martin has kept the door open for a potential move to bring Jamie Vardy to Ibrox following the veteran striker's Leicester City departure.

Birmingham City have completed the eye-catching signing of Kyogo Furuhashi from Rennes, with the Japan forward returning to football in the British Isles just six months after a £10 million move to Ligue 1. The ex-Celtic star joins the Tom Brady-backed Blues on a three-year deal as their ambitious summer recruitment drive continues to prepare for the Championship.
Juventus have reportedly informed Douglas Luiz that he is free to leave the club this summer after just one underwhelming season at the Allianz Stadium. The Brazilian midfielder has already attracted interest from Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and even Manchester United amid talk of a potential swap deal with Jadon Sancho.
Newcastle United's hopes of landing Italian star Giorgio Scalvini have taken a big hit, with Atalanta firmly declaring the 21-year-old as "unsellable" this summer.

Arsenal are closing in on signing Sporting CP's star forward Viktor Gyokeres after agreeing personal terms with the player. The Gunners are now negotiating a deal for the 27-year-old and are reportedly in advanced talks with the Portuguese champions. The Gunners have been linked with a move for Gyokeres since the start of the summer and it now seems that the club will get their desired player.
Tottenham Hotspur tabled a bid worth £50million ($68m) for Mohammed Kudus but West Ham have reportedly rejected it.

Kudus wants to join the North London side this summer despite interest from Chelsea.
Manchester United are reportedly contemplating making a shock move to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer after his departure from Everton.
