In England, Liverpool are said to be preparing a move for Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni, a player valued at up to €70 million, while Manchester City consider Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson for a record‑breaking fee.
Cross‑Channel Ambitions
Manchester United have set their sights on West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes and Lens’ Mamdou Sangaré, hoping to reinforce both midfield and attack, while Arsenal weigh a potential swoop for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
Galatasaray have offered a significant salary to AC Milan’s Rafael Leão, and Paris Saint‑Germain are preparing a €180 million proposal for Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise, a figure that would rank among the most expensive transfers ever.
Real Madrid also plan to offload several squad members, including Gonzalo García, Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Díaz, Eduardo Camavinga and Fran García, as part of a broader reshaping of the roster.
Speculation around Endrick’s future has linked the youngster with a possible move to Barcelona, while Barcelona’s interest in Chelsea’s João Pedro — who has reportedly agreed personal terms — adds another layer of intrigue.
