Arsenal have struck a deal with Atletico Madrid for Julian Alvarez, with the Gunners paying €50m and sending Viktor Gyokeres to the Metropolitano Stadium, according to El Chiringuito TV. The move comes as the summer transfer window gathers pace alongside the 2026 World Cup, where England face Croatia in Dallas tonight.
Newcastle United have placed a £100m valuation on Sandro Tonali, the Times reports, after Tottenham Hotspur held talks with the midfielder. The Italian international, long linked with Arsenal, will not come cheap as the Magpies set a staggering asking price.
“Arsenal agree €50m-plus-Gyokeres deal for Alvarez; Newcastle set £100m Tonali price; Tottenham close on Van Hecke.”
Tottenham are also closing in on Brighton & Hove Albion's Jan Paul van Hecke, with a fixed fee of £52m agreed and no add-ons. The Netherlands international is expected to move to north London.
Manchester United have made it clear to West Ham that they will not be held to ransom over Mateus Fernandes, having identified the 21-year-old as their top transfer priority this summer. Real Madrid are also reportedly interested in the midfielder.
Liverpool continue their pursuit of RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, with Andoni Iraola emerging as the driving force behind the potential blockbuster transfer, according to claims.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford could yet secure a permanent move to Barcelona, with Raphinha potentially on his way out. GE Globo reports that Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal are pursuing the Brazilian winger in a financially significant move, and Raphinha is said to be open to negotiations, though any discussions will wait until after the World Cup.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid have confirmed an agreement for Bernardo Silva, while West Ham have sent a transfer message to Manchester United and Tottenham regarding Crysencio Summerville. The window is already delivering major moves as clubs reshuffle their squads.
