Liverpool have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Bradley Barcola after Paris Saint-Germain signed Mika Godts from Ajax. Speculation suggested the Ligue 1 champions would be willing to trim their £145million valuation of the 23-year-old, but only if they secured a solid replacement on the left. Having done so, it is now a waiting game to see whether the rumour mill has churned truth regarding a potential cut-price deal for Barcola, who has been a priority target for Liverpool for most of the summer as Andoni Iraola looks for further attacking firepower for the 2026/27 season.
Arsenal face £60m price for Osimhen
Arsenal may have to fork out at least £60m if they hope to sign Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen before next month's transfer deadline, according to sources speaking with Football Insider. The Gunners are also seeking attacking reinforcement this summer after missing out on Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior following a long transfer saga. They could now turn their attention to the 27-year-old Osimhen, who has been linked with a Premier League move for the past couple of years without a deal coming to fruition.
Tottenham's double swoop for Gakpo and Savinho
On the other side of North London, Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing moves for Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and Manchester City's Savinho amid a summer of massive spending. Reports from the Netherlands suggest Gakpo has reached an agreement in principle on personal terms, with a £70m price tag touted for his transfer. Savinho, meanwhile, has reportedly shared an interest in working under Roberto De Zerbi this season, with Spurs looking to wrap up an £85m move for the Brazilian.
City close in on Bouaddi
At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City are on the brink of securing Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille in an £85m swoop of their own as Rodri closes in on a move to Barcelona. Having already welcomed Elliot Anderson in a £116m transfer from Nottingham Forest, City have turned their attention to finding a suitable playing partner for the 23-year-old. Bouaddi, 18, could be just that following a formidable World Cup campaign with Morocco, where he drew significant attention.
