Atletico Madrid are planning to launch a fresh bid for Cristian Romero as the Argentine is set to reject Tottenham's contract offer. Spurs chief Daniel Levy has reportedly decided to offer the defender a new contract, although the player will reject it. Diego Simeone is determined to sign a new defender and is prioritising the former Atalanta star.
Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has opened up on how Liverpool beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City to secure the transfer for German sensation Florian Wirtz this summer. Wirtz opted to move to Anfield for a British record transfer fee of £116 million ($159m) despite strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern and the Cityzens.
Chelsea could consider signing Marc Casado from Barcelona this summer as the Catalan side are reportedly open to listening to offers for the midfielder. Casado is well settled at Barcelona but could still consider moving due to a lack of regular first-team opportunities. Hansi Flick's current squad has too many midfield options which would certainly limit Casado's game time.
Manchester United are working behind the scenes to resolve the future of Alejandro Garnacho, with reports suggesting the club has reached out to intermediaries to determine whether Chelsea still harbour interest in signing the 21-year-old winger. The forward has already been told by manager Ruben Amorim that he has no future at Old Trafford and must seek a fresh challenge elsewhere.
Arsenal are actively exploring their options to bolster the attacking unit ahead of the upcoming season, with high-profile names such as Rodrygo and Anthony Gordon emerging as potential recruits. The Gunners’ pursuit of reinforcements, however, is intrinsically linked to the future of Gabriel Martinelli.
