Real Madrid eyes Arsenal full‑back Riccardo Calafiori amid a presidential election. The 24‑year‑old, who helped the Gunners lift the Premier League, has a contract until 2029. Mourinho, who coached him at Roma, reportedly wants a reunion. Madrid’s inquiry came after Calafiori started 22 of 26 games last season.

Bayern Munich turn eyes to PSV Eindhoven full‑back Sergiño Dest, who last season logged 25 appearances for the Dutch side. The German champions reportedly target a €25 million bid, with Barcelona demanding a 20 % sell‑on clause. A second target is teammate Ismael Saibari, also 25, with Bayern tightening offers in pursuit of a defensive core for the 2026‑27 campaign.

Paris Saint‑Germain lead the chase for Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Alexey Batrakov, who netted 13 goals and added 10 assists last season. Russian sanctions limit Premier League bids, leaving Manchester United, Chelsea and City out. Meanwhile, European giants eye 18‑year‑old AIK winger Zadok Yohanna, who tallied nine goals in 12 games. Clubs may meet a £20 million valuation to secure a talent before the deadline.
