Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Jr has suffered a blow after Real Madrid offered him an improved contract, while Liverpool have reportedly agreed personal terms with Bradley Barcola and Manchester United are readying a £60m bid for Lewis Hall.
Vinicius Jr transfer update
Real Madrid have offered Vinicius Jr an improved new contract following a meeting between his agents and club chiefs on Wednesday morning. According to The Athletic, the Spanish club raised terms for an extension to reflect his importance. Head coach Jose Mourinho was involved in the discussions.
Arsenal still hold some hope as their financial proposal remains higher, but the Brazilian has yet to make a decision.
Barcola agrees personal terms with Liverpool
Liverpool and Bradley Barcola have already reached an agreement on personal terms, according to L'Equipe. However, Paris Saint-Germain are holding firm on their €150million (£128.7m) asking price, and Liverpool have no intention of meeting that fee.
Arsenal have been linked to Barcola following the Vinicius Jr setback, but it is claimed the player would still prefer a move to Anfield.
Man Utd ready £60m bid for Lewis Hall
Manchester United are prepared to bid £60million for Newcastle United's Lewis Hall, according to TalkSPORT. However, the Magpies have no plans to sell and want to keep him. The departure of Eddie Howe has increased Hall's chances of staying, especially with Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon all leaving.
Fulham's Antonee Robinson has been suggested as a much cheaper alternative for United.
