Transfer news | Real Madrid make Michael Olise deal conditional, and Liverpool reject Vinicius offer

  • Vozinha to Colo-Colo

    Vozinha's World Cup heroics have earned him a fresh start. The Cape Verde goalkeeper has signed the papers for his free transfer from Portuguese side Chaves to Chile's Colo-Colo after a string of eye-catching displays at the 2026 finals.

    Fabrizio Romano reports that the shot-stopper will fly into Chile next Friday to complete his medical and put pen to paper on the deal.

  • Juventus confirm their interest in Emiliano Martínez

    Luciano Spalletti has confirmed Juventus want Emiliano Martínez, with the Argentine goalkeeper keen to leave Aston Villa this summer.

    "He wants to leave and we are looking to compete for titles, so we want him with us, even if we already have two other goalkeepers," Spalletti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.


  • Real Madrid stakes Michael Olise deal

    Michael Olise fancies a move to Real Madrid, according to reports, and the Spanish giants have now told Bayern Munich they are determined to sign the French winger. Just not this summer.

    Fabrizio Romano reports that Madrid have made their position clear to their German counterparts: they are ready to buy Olise the moment Bayern decide to sell. With Bayern intent on keeping him, that will not be happening this summer.

    Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, put it bluntly to journalist Maximilian Koch. "Olise's departure to Real Madrid is not a topic for discussion at all for us. We are looking forward to his return from holiday, and he will play an important role in the team next season as he did last season."

  • Contradictory statements about Palhinha at Bayern Munich

    German journalist Maximilian Koch has reported a clear contradiction between Bayern Munich's João Palhinha and the club's sporting director, Christoph Freund.

    Freund confirmed that Palhinha and Sacha Boey both fall outside Bayern's plans for next season. The pair have already been told the club is seeking offers for them.

    Palhinha sees it differently. Speaking just minutes after Freund's remarks, according to Koch, the midfielder insisted he plans to stay at Bayern next season.


  • Liverpool reject Vinicius offer, Al-Ahly and Arsenal wait

    Vinicius Junior's agents have offered the Brazilian to Liverpool, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, with just one season left on the winger's Real Madrid contract.

    Liverpool weren't interested, Jacobs added. Their focus lies on strengthening the right wing.

    Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia are the ones chasing him. They tabled an offer of one billion euros last year and are now waiting for a signal from the player to close the deal.

    Arsenal are treading the same path. They want the Brazilian too, but they're handling things with caution given Real Madrid's repeated insistence that his contract renewal will be sorted. That leaves the Gunners waiting on a signal from Vini before they make an official approach.
