Speculation continues regarding several football players, with reports linking them to various clubs and potential transfers. Among the players mentioned are Bradley Barcola, Tyrique George, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Kaishu Sano, Sandro Tonali, and Samuel Chukwueze.
Transfer market activity
Paris Saint-Germain has set a valuation for France winger Bradley Barcola. The 23-year-old, who scored 13 goals in all competitions as PSG won Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season, is attracting interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal. PSG reportedly values Barcola at more than a certain amount, and they maintain that the player does not need to be sold. Despite this, reports suggest that Arsenal is prepared to increase their interest after receiving encouragement that PSG might consider an offer for Barcola. Arsenal reportedly plans to scout Barcola during France’s World Cup last-32 game against Sweden.
In other transfer news, Everton is reportedly confident about securing Chelsea winger Tyrique George on a permanent basis. George, 20, was on loan with Everton last season. Chelsea, meanwhile, is said to be looking to strengthen their attack by signing Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi. The 20-year-old France Under-21s international had a productive season, scoring 13 times in the Premier League.
Midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, is drawing interest from several major clubs including Manchester City, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich, in addition to Arsenal. His current club, Lille, reportedly seeks a significant fee for him and aims to keep him on loan for the next season. Liverpool’s search for a winger has also seen them linked with Belgium attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo, 21, who also plays for Lille. Additionally, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in 25-year-old Mainz midfielder Kaishu Sano, who scored for Japan in their World Cup last-32 defeat by Brazil.
Player movements and contract situations
Tottenham has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, 26. The club is said to be prepared to pay a substantial amount for the Italian player. Meanwhile, AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze, 27, who spent last season on loan at Fulham, has reportedly declined an offer from Turkish club Trabzonspor. The Nigeria international is said to prefer remaining in Milan after Fulham chose not to sign him permanently.
There are also reports concerning Brentford, who are in discussions to sign 34-year-old England striker Callum Wilson on a free transfer. Wilson’s contract with West Ham expired at the end of last season. PSG is also reportedly keen to extend Barcola’s contract, even with the potential arrival of Yan Diomande. This decision is seen as more sensible given that Kang-in Lee and Goncalo Ramos are expected to depart in the coming days.
Barcola, who is part of France’s World Cup squad, primarily operates on PSG’s left flank, an area Arsenal is looking to strengthen. However, he is also capable of playing on the right. Arsenal has also identified Morgan Rogers as a key target to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options, though Aston Villa is reportedly demanding a significant transfer fee for the 23-year-old, who scored 10 goals and provided six assists in the Premier League last season.
