1. Division Overview

Arsenal have intensified their pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez as Mikel Arteta reportedly looks to secure his primary attacking target before the start of pre-season. The Gunners are hoping to capitalise on Atletico taking a firm stance against selling the Argentina international to Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP in a €40 million deal. The Denmark international has signed a contract until June 2031 after completing his medical, becoming Diego Simeone's latest midfield addition ahead of the new season.

Barcelona forward Ferran Torres is open to a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain, with advanced negotiations already underway between the two European powerhouses. The 26-year-old winger could be set for a reunion with former Spain manager Luis Enrique in the French capital. Barcelona are prepared to sanction a sale to balance their books.

Xavi has recalled the moment he first realised Lamine Yamal was a once-in-a-generation talent, revealing how the Barcelona teenager immediately reminded him of Lionel Messi. The former Blaugrana boss also explained why he believes the Spain international has the mentality and ability to dominate world football for years to come.
