Atletico Madrid may consider including Victor Gokeres in a deal with Arsenal for striker Julián Álvarez, as the Turkish Super League seems poised to welcome Mohamed Salah.
Stay updated on the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.
Top Transfer Rumors
Arsenal has positioned itself as the only club willing to facilitate Julián Álvarez’s exit from the Spanish capital this summer, as reported by Spanish broadcaster Cadena SER. Atletico Madrid is hesitant to strengthen Barcelona, their La Liga rivals, regardless of the financial package involved. However, they are open to engaging in negotiations with Arsenal, particularly if Victor Gokeres is included as a direct replacement. Álvarez’s future remains a significant topic as the summer transfer window progresses, with Atletico prioritizing a decision on his status before finalizing any transfer.
Real Madrid has turned down a €100 million bid for Yann Diomande from RB Leipzig, according to Sky Germany. The offer, which consists of €90 million upfront plus €10 million in additional fees, aligns with Liverpool’s earlier proposal but falls short of Leipzig’s valuation. Although Diomande has reportedly agreed to personal terms until 2031, Paris Saint-Germain has not yet made a formal offer. Real Madrid’s growing interest could complicate PSG’s pursuit, with Leipzig determined to retain the highly-rated forward unless a compelling offer materializes.
Former Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is nearing a move to Turkish club Besiktas on a free transfer, as reported by transfer journalist Nicolo Sila. Both parties have reached an initial agreement, incorporating a 12-month contract with an option for an additional year. Besiktas coach Vincenzo Italiano is spearheading the efforts to secure Salah, who departed Liverpool last month after an impressive nine-year trophy-laden tenure.
Real Madrid is optimistic about signing Manchester City midfielder Rodri, despite yet to enter formal negotiations. Madrid is keen on acquiring Rodri, whose contract is in its final year. The player has not committed to a renewal with City, even as talks remain ongoing. Following his standout performances during Spain’s World Cup triumph, interest from Madrid has surged. Rodri previously expressed a desire to return to Spain, fueling speculation that this transfer could be a significant one.
Aston Villa has initiated discussions with Chelsea regarding a permanent deal for Nicolas Jackson. Manager Unai Emery is eager to reunite with the Senegalese international, who is viewed as a key target to replace Olly Watkins, amidst rumors of the latter moving to Fenerbahce later in the window. Villa aims for a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal, although negotiations may prove challenging, with Chelsea reportedly valuing Jackson at £65 million.
