Trending Transfer Rumors
– Arsenal has reportedly reached a €90 million agreement in principle for Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United, as per L’Equipe. The reigning Premier League champions have shown long-term interest in the Brazilian midfielder but had to navigate Newcastle’s demands, who were aiming for close to €100 million for their captain. Arsenal’s previous bids of €70 million and €80 million were both turned down before the clubs settled on the €90 million fee, although discussions about bonuses and agent fees are still ongoing.
– In other news, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Gio Reyna is being eyed by Strasbourg, according to The Athletic. Ongoing talks are happening between the 23-year-old’s representatives amidst speculation that the Bundesliga club is open to transferring Reyna, who impressed with a memorable goal during the U.S. team’s 4-1 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup. His future at the club seems uncertain after making only four league starts last season, alongside compatriot Joe Scally, as Mönchengladbach looks to revamp their squad following a disappointing 12th-place finish.
– Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Juventus winger Francisco Conceição, according to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira. It is said that United has made an inquiry about the 23-year-old Portuguese international, who Juventus might be willing to let go this summer. As reported by Tuttosport, a fee of at least €50 million would be needed to secure his services, although interest from other Premier League clubs may complicate matters. Schira also mentioned that United is monitoring AC Milan winger Rafael Leão as another option to strengthen their attacking lineup.
– Both Arsenal and Liverpool are considering a move for Sporting CP left back Maxi Araújo, as noted by The Sun. Reportedly, both clubs have been reached out to by representatives of the 26-year-old Uruguayan international regarding a potential deal, but both teams want to assess his fit in their respective squads before moving forward. Sporting is believed to be seeking at least £51.5 million for Araújo, and they are already scouting replacements. Despite Uruguay’s lackluster World Cup performance, Araújo stood out by scoring two goals in three appearances.
– Real Madrid winger Franco Mastantuono has attracted interest from AS Roma and Fiorentina, as reported by Diario AS. Madrid is prioritizing a loan move for the 18-year-old within Europe to allow him more playing time, with Serie A clubs leading the interest. Mastantuono appeared in 23 LaLiga matches last season and has also drawn attention from Fulham, although the London club is focusing on other transfers, including striker Gonzalo García, for whom they have reportedly agreed to a £34 million deal.
– Arsenal has been approached by AC Milan regarding a potential transfer for attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, according to transfer reporter Matteo Moretto. Milan is believed to be interested in the 19-year-old, but he also has offers from other clubs, including Premier League side Everton. Nwaneri scored two goals in nine appearances while on loan at Marseille last season, starting only three matches.
