Barcelona are gearing up for a second bid on Rodri, the 30‑year‑old midfielder who has said he only wants to join the Blaugrana, according to Fabrizio Romano. The club is confident a deal will be struck soon, even as rumors of a move to Real Madrid have faded.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero is reportedly open to a move to Arsenal, though Spurs have no intention of selling him toinitialize their bitter rivals. The 28‑year‑old is set to leave Spurs this summer amid interest from Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan.

Other transfer chatter includes Liverpool’s interest in Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid, and discussions over Endrick and Lamine Camara by clubs across England and France. Barcelona are also exploring a move for Julián Álvarez in private talks with Atlético.

The summer transfer window is heating up, with clubs eager to shuffle their squads and secure high‑profile players before the deadline.
