Paris Saint‑Germain have placed a £116m tag on 23‑year‑old winger Bradley Barcola, insisting the Frenchman is not for sale despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool’s chase has also linked the club with Lille’s 21‑year‑old Belgian attacker Matias Fernandez‑Pardo. Meanwhile Lille are demanding at least £70m for 18‑year‑old Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, who remains on loan next season. The valuation reflects PSG’s desire to retain a key asset as they rebuild after their Champions League triumph.

Everton are confident they can secure Chelsea winger Tyrique George permanently after his loan spell, while the Blues target Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi. The 20‑year‑old France U‑21 international netted 13 Premier League goals last season, prompting Chelsea to add firepower. Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have all expressed interest in Bouaddi, intensifying the bidding war. Chelsea hope Kroupi will provide a goal threat alongside their existing forwards.

Midfielder Kaishu Sano, who scored for Japan at the World Cup, has attracted bids from Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund. Tottenham have agreed personal terms with Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali and are prepared to meet a £100m valuation. AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze rejected a move to Trabzonspor, opting to stay, while Brentford negotiate a free signing of veteran striker Callum Wilson. The flurry of moves underscores a market where clubs prioritize proven talent ahead of the new season.
