Arsenal are looking into the possibility of signing Kenan Yildiz from Juventus, according to reports. The 21‑year‑old is high on a list of targets to reinforce the left flank after missing out on Vinicius Junior, with Juventus setting a valuation of over €70 million for the Türkiye international. The Gunners have also made a pre‑contract offer for 17‑year‑old winger Andria Bartishvili, who has been compared to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have added Gabriel Martinelli to their shortlist of options.

Manchester United have spoken with the camp of Barcelona left back Alejandro Balde as a potential left‑back option, and the 22‑year‑old Spain international remains happy at Blaugrana for now. Barcelona continue to assess attacking options, with Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martínez emerging as a target, and Atletico Madrid reportedly open to an exit for Julián Álvarez only if he joins Arsenal. Manchester City have enquired about Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, and AC Milan have Manchester City’s Rúben Dias on their centre‑back shortlist.

Other rumours include Tottenham agreeing a deal worth up to £85 million for Manchester City winger Savinho, Liverpool’s £50 million bid for Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh being rejected, and Benfica reaching a full agreement with Bayern Munich for the permanent signing of midfielder Joao Palhinha. Numerous other links involving players such as Omar Marmoush, Edmond Tapsoba, Nicolas Jackson, and Ethan Nwaneri continue to circulate across European clubs.
