Real Madrid have asked for information on Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori, as per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

However, any potential deal is complicated by his importance to the Gunners with Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol as one alternative.

It has been a turbulent few months for Real Madrid with uncertainty surrounding their head coach role and president.

Yan Diomande's Paris Saint-Germain comments could hand Liverpool a transfer boost for Bradley Barcola.

Having been linked to both attackers, Liverpool will hope to sign at least one especially with PSG interested in Diomande and Barcola currently contracted to the European champions.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been linked to the latter but Ismael Saibari looks set to be the Bundesliga champions' chosen attacking addition after Anthony Gordon joined Barcelona.

Iliman Ndiaye has been added to Manchester United's transfer shortlist with plans being weighed up to sign a left-winger this summer, as per the Manchester Evening News.

He has three years left on his contract at Hill Dickinson Stadium but a departure this summer is possible.

It is worth noting the eagerness to sign a left-sided forward has lessened somewhat following the signing of Matheus Cunha and Michael Carrick's preference to play Patrick Dorgu further forward.

Liverpool transfer target Yan Diomande has made a clear Paris Saint-Germain admission with the winger expected to leave RB Leipzig in the summer.

Talk of a surprise transfer to Arsenal for Marcus Rashford emerged over the last few days as his future remains in the balance following Anthony Gordon's move to Barcelona.

Tottenham and Bayern Munich have also been linked alongside the Gunners but it seems as though Rashford has given a clear response to joining the latter.

According to Spanish outlet SPORT, he has rejected interest from Arsenal and other clubs in order to continue waiting on Barca.

Their report states that a return to the Camp Nou for Rashford is not completely off the table but it would require several first-team players to be sold. Barcelona are also currently focused on signing a centre-forward with Julian Alvarez the most likely addition.

While Manchester United appear to have opted against getting involved in the Elliot Anderson transfer battle, funds on a new midfielder are prepared to be dished out.

Ever since he missed Atalanta's final game of the season and it was confirmed afterwards that he was in talks to join another club, the expectation was that Ederson would be heading to United.

And that scenario has since transpired with a £38million deal agreed between the two parties. United are expected to sign at least one other midfielder this summer.

Mateus Fernandes currently appears the most likely addition given West Ham's relegation and Manchester City's focus on Anderson.

We will start off with the biggest news with it emerging late on Wednesday evening that Nottingham Forest had rejected an opening bid from Manchester City for Elliot Anderson.

The Athletic's report included a number of interesting pieces of information including the expected stance from Forest that they are holding out for more than the £105million Arsenal paid West Ham for Declan Rice.

Manchester United, who have also been linked, are of the belief that is too much. The report also stated that talks are set to continue between Forest and City.

The Athletic understand Forest have already turned down City's first offer, but have not reported what the figure was.

Ibrahima Konate is set to be unveiled as a Real Madrid manager. The Frenchman's move to the Bernabeu is anticipated to be confirmed by club president Florentino Perez.

Konate left Liverpool at the end of the campaign after negotiations on a new contract collapsed. He will move to Real Madrid as a free agent, in similar circumstances to former Reds' team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has warned Morgan Rogers against joining Arsenal. Heskey, said to the Metro: "Would it be difficult to say no to Arsenal? Yes and no.

"You have to look at who is ahead of you in both teams. He’s top of the pile at Villa, he is the main man. If he goes to Arsenal, where would he be in that pecking order and does it suit the way he plays?’

"He is a very intelligent player so I’m sure it would. But he has to figure out what he wants from his career."

Bernado Silva will go into the 2026 World Cup as a free agent. The Portuguese midfielder left Manchester City at the end of the campaign, when his contract expires.

He had been linked with many clubs around Europe. However, the Portugal international has decided he will not choose his next club until the World Cup is over, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Michael Carrick wants to bolster his Manchester United squad with five new transfers. He guided the Red Devils to third place in the Premier League and now he wants more.

According to The Times he is keen on signing three central midfielders - and is close to signing Atalanta star Ederson - a new left-back and a striker. Carrick does, however, want to ensure there are opportunities for the club's young players to break into the team.

Arsenal have moved ahead of Bayern Munich in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt star Nathaniel Brown. According to German outlet BILD, Eintracht's purported price tag of €65million is too much for Bayern.

However, it may not prove to be too much for Arsenal, who are reportedly looking to strengthen their left-flank. The fact that he is an attacking full-back is understood to have piqued Mikel Arteta's interest.

In 42 appearances, Brown contributed four goals and six assists for the Bundesliga heavyweights.

Arsenal believe they will be in pole position if Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers becomes available this summer

Mirror Sport revealed on Sunday that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to make Rogers a key part of his summer transfer plans.

But Arsenal are facing major competition from the likes of Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain, Bayern Munich and Chelsea with Rogers likely to be the hottest property on the market.

Senne Lammens has been named as last season's Premier League transfer of the season. Lammens arrived from Royal Antwerp and joined Manchester United last season.

Not too much was known about the 23-year-old when he moved to Old Trafford. However, he has proven to be a reliably strong presence for the Reds, who had struggled with goalkeepers for the last few seasons.

Manchester United are no longer expected to make a move for Middlesbrough star Hayden Hackney. The youngtser enjoyed an impressive campaign in the Championship for Boro.

But according to The Athletic, Hackney is not considered to be a high priority on United's list. They are in the market for central midfielders, with Atalanta star Ederson believed to be close to a move to Old Trafford.

Man United have shelved contract talks with Bruno Fernandes, the Mirror exclusively reports.

United chiefs have been assured Fernandes will remain at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future and club bosses remain relaxed about the situation - and plan toopen negotiations with the Portuguese midfielder before the end of 2026 about a new and improved deal.

However, it’s understood co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has now prioritised making new signings instead - and has put the future of Fernandes on the back burner.

Fernandes is about to enter the final year of his current £250,000-a-week contract, but has an option to extend it by 12 months.

Looks like we have yet another development in Marcus Rashford's ongoing transfer saga.

Reports from Diario Sport suggest Manchester United are willing to cede some ground and accept terms for a permanent deal which are more suitable to Barcelona. The report claims Rashford is prioritising a permanent move to Camp Nou over anything else, at personal cost, and is willing to to negotiate terms with that consideration as Barcelona themselves carefully manager their wage bill.

It seems United have accepted they won't get they were intially looking for and will compromise on a deal.

Arsenal do not have the financial flexibility to spend close to the £268million they parted ways with last summer.

That is according to The Athletic, who have also stated that player sales could play a huge role in potential signings.

Everton look to be leading the race for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

Tottenham, Manchester United and Crystal Palace have been linked but the Toffees are pursuing his services with the player also keen on a move that would cost £10million, according to The Telegraph.

Marcus Rashford looks unlikely to join Bayern Munich with the German club close to sign PSV attacker Ismael Saibari.

Anthony Gordon was Bayern's no.1 target before he ultimately joined Barcelona from Newcastle United. It looked as though their attention would turn to Rashford, now he was unlikely to sign permanently for the Spanish club, but they have instead focused on Saibari with only the final details to sort, as per Foot Mercato.

Dusan Vlahovic is leaving Juventus as a free agent this summer after failing to agree on a new deal, according to various outlets in Italy.

Chelsea have been told that Mile Svilar is not for sale, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Blues would reportedly be willing to spend £42million on signing the goalkeeper, who is among the best in Serie A. Svilar, however, is said to be untouchable this summer, something Roma have made known.
