Manchester United and Arsenal are set to go head-to-head for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with the 22-year-old England international valued at around £60m. The two Premier League giants have been tracking Scott, but any successful move could cost a significant fee, according to reports.
Arsenal are also in contact with Leicester City over a deal for Jeremy Monga, a 16-year-old England Under-19 winger, with the Gunners planning to pay a fair fee to avoid a tribunal. Meanwhile, the north London club are continuing talks over a potential move for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez.
“Manchester United and Arsenal compete for £60m midfielder Alex Scott, while Real Madrid target Enzo Fernandez.”
Real Madrid, however, are set to open talks with Chelsea over a transfer for Enzo Fernandez. The La Liga side have made the 25-year-old Argentina international their top midfield target this summer.
Aston Villa have expressed strong interest in West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, 29, but an agreement could be difficult until Villa make player sales. The club have also made it clear they do not want to sell midfielder Morgan Rogers, 23, this summer. In addition, Aston Villa are in talks with Flamengo over Brazilian defender Emerson Royal, 27.
Newcastle United are showing interest in Cologne winger Said El Mala, 19, and are in contact over Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, 21. But Liverpool are waiting in the wings if they fail to land RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande or Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola.
Bayern Munich are planning to double France midfielder Michael Olise's wages as part of a deal to keep the 24-year-old at the club until 2031. Real Madrid are interested in Manchester City striker Erling Haaland should Vinicius Jr leave the Bernabeu.
Manchester United are expected to launch an official approach for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, 21, in the coming days. Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi, 29, is open to a move to Leeds United.
