The World Cup is over but more than six weeks remain in the transfer window. Julian Alvarez wants to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona, though a £426m release clause complicates matters, while Arsenal monitor. Manchester United target Brighton's Carlos Baleba, and Monaco's Folarin Balogun could move after his World Cup exit. PSG's Bradley Barcola may depart with two years left on his deal, while Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall attracts Forest and Newcastle interest.

Midfield targets include Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi (wanted by City and United), free agent Julian Brandt (Leeds pursuit), and Liverpool's Curtis Jones (Inter's top target). Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez desires a move but would cost over £100m, with Real Madrid ruled out. Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes wants Arsenal, but Magpies refuse to sell.

Attacking options feature Yan Diomande (PSG talks with Leipzig after Liverpool's £86m bid failed), Cody Gakpo (uncertain Liverpool future under new boss), and Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea open to £42m sale to Roma). Gabriel Jesus is available for £18-20m as Arsenal accept offers. Defensively, Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea-Como valuation gap), Pervis Estupinan (Villa-Milan talks), and Lewis Hall (United vs Newcastle battle) are in play.

Vinicius Junior enters his final Real Madrid year, pressuring the club to sell or extend.
