Premier League clubs are pushing for big-money transfers ahead of the new season, with several high-profile moves already completed this summer, including Elliot Anderson, Morgan Rogers, and Bruno Guimaraes. The spending is expected to continue until the September deadline, with top sides seeking reinforcements.
Barcola saga takes twist
Liverpool's proposed move for Bradley Barcola has taken a twist, with reports the Reds could walk away. Liverpool had emerged as the most likely destination for the Frenchman, with talk of a five-year deal agreed. However, the issue surrounds Paris Saint-Germain's asking price, and neither side appears willing to budge.
The Athletic reports Liverpool could opt to walk away as a result. This would be good news for Arsenal, who are also tracking the attacker. Whether Arsenal face the same issue remains to be seen, but it would give the Gunners a clear shot at a deal.
Other transfer developments
Enzo Fernandez could swap Chelsea for Manchester City, with City said to have him as their number one Rodri replacement. Manchester United still want a left-back, with Myles Lewis-Skelly emerging as a potential option. Tottenham have issues to fix in attack.
With three weeks of the window left, clubs are looking to get as much business done as possible before the deadline.
