Today’s rumours are back with a vengeance
L
ike baggy trousers, small sunglasses and leopard print, transfer rumours are back in a big way. And there can be no doubting the transfer ambition of Premier League champions Arsenal, who are eyeing up either Vinícius Júnior or Bradley Barcola as a deluxe Leandro Trossard replacement.
One sticking point for the Gunners is the former’s apparent desire to stay put at Real Madrid, while Liverpool appear to be favourites for Barcola if they can muster up the £145m Paris Saint-Germain are demanding for their fourth-best forward. The path may become clear for Vinícius to leave the Bernabéu, however, with the club closing in on a deal for Ivorian World Cup sensation Yan Diomande. Perennial prospect Endrick has also been touted for a move away from Madrid this summer.
Staying with wingers and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye is coveted by Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, while a potential fight for the signature of Pedro Neto could be upon us, with a few Saudi clubs in the mix with Liverpool and Manchester City. Why on earth Chelsea would want to sell such a talent is a good question, but balancing the books at Stamford Bridge is imperative after the £117m splurge on Morgan Rogers. Forgotten City wide man Savinho could be heading to Tottenham to make room for any new arrival at the Etihad.
