Barcelona are intensifying their pursuit of Atalanta right back Marco Palestra, with the 21-year-old attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, Juventus, and Inter Milan. Palestra has spent the season on loan at Cagliari, making 32 Serie A appearances and earning a place in the Italian national team squad in March. Mundo Deportivo reports Barcelona view him as a versatile option for their full back ranks.

Arsenal remain firmly interested in Julián Álvarez but face a challenge in beating Barcelona to his signature. The striker prefers Barcelona if he leaves Atlético Madrid this summer. Manchester United are monitoring Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu, with recent scouting activity, though Juventus plan to open contract talks with the 25-year-old who has three years remaining.

Andreas Christensen has rejected a contract extension at Barcelona, with his current deal expiring at season's end. Clubs from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga are circling the defender as a potential free transfer, though the former Chelsea man wants to remain at Barcelona. Meanwhile, Bournemouth would consider selling 19-year-old forward Junior Kroupi for around £60 million, with Manchester United encouraged by that asking price.
