Arsenal and Barcelona are both pursuing Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt as the 29-year-old midfielder nears the end of his contract. According to Sky Sports Deutschland, both Premier League and La Liga clubs are monitoring Brandt's situation, with the German international seeking a move abroad this summer after reportedly rejecting Premier League approaches in January.

Real Madrid have reignited interest in Manchester City's Rodri, with transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Spanish giants are tracking the 29-year-old's contract situation. Madrid, looking to strengthen their midfield following Luka Modric's departure to AC Milan, could intensify their pursuit if Rodri decides against extending his deal at the Etihad, where he enters the final year of his contract.

Barcelona appears confident in securing Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni, with TEAMtalk reporting the Blaugrana lead the race for the 26-year-old defender. Liverpool have identified Bastoni as a potential successor to Virgil van Dijk, but Inter plans to offer him a new contract extending through 2030 to fend off interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
