Barcelona president Joan Laporta has sent a firm warning to Atletico Madrid regarding the club's pursuit of Julian Alvarez, insisting that the Catalan giants will not be held to ransom over a timeline. The Blaugrana have identified the Argentina international as a priority target to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

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.

Mason Greenwood appears to be entering the final hours of his stay at Marseille as a high-stakes transfer battle reaches its conclusion. While the forward reported for pre-season training this week, negotiations have intensified with two major European heavyweights personalising the race for his signature.
