The summer transfer window is heating up as Premier League clubs intensify their efforts to strengthen squads. Arsenal have been informed of the £86million fee required to sign Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who impressed with 13 goals in his debut season. The Gunners are also monitoring Julian Alvarez, but Real Madrid's £130m bid for the Argentine has been rejected.
Arsenal Learn Kroupi Fee
Arsenal are targeting Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi, with Foot Mercato reporting that the Cherries have set a £86million price tag for the 19-year-old French striker. Kroupi scored 13 goals in 33 Premier League appearances, including a goal against Arsenal.
Alvarez Bid Rejected
Real Madrid have seen a £130m offer for Julian Alvarez turned down by Atletico Madrid. The Argentina international has a €500m release clause, but a lower bid of around €150m could be acceptable. Alvarez is reportedly favoring a move to Barcelona.
Chelsea Eye Vlahovic
Chelsea are in advanced talks to sign Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer after the Serbian striker failed to agree a new deal with Juventus. The Blues face competition from Tottenham, Manchester United, and clubs in Turkey and Spain.
Man Utd Quoted Wharton Price
Manchester United have been told that Crystal Palace will demand around £100million for midfielder Adam Wharton. The England international helped Palace win the Conference League, and the Eagles are keen to retain him.
Liverpool Make Diomande Approach
Liverpool have made an approach for RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, with the 19-year-old Ivorian identified as a top priority. Paris Saint-Germain are also interested, but Leipzig have warned off potential suitors.
Tottenham Ready Van Hecke Bid
Tottenham are preparing another bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke after having two offers rejected. Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi, formerly of Brighton, is keen to reunite with the Dutch centre-back.
Other Developments
Newcastle are set to confirm the £18.5million signing of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen from Reims, while Real Madrid are expected to appoint Jose Mourinho as head coach after paying €15million to Benfica. The summer window promises more twists and turns as clubs jostle for top talent.
