Liverpool is closing in on PSG’s Bradley Barcola after agreeing personal terms with the 23-year-old winger, according to L’Equipe. The Frenchman wants out of Paris and won’t sign a new deal, but Liverpool still needs to hammer out a fee with the European champions. That price tag could top £100 million, which would make Barcola one of the most expensive signings in club history. Arsenal had been linked with him earlier this summer, so this one stings a bit for the Gunners.
Everton’s summer just got more complicated. The Mirror reports that Manchester United has been weighing a move for Iliman Ndiaye, the Senegalese forward who’d cost around £70 million. But United isn’t alone. The Athletic says Saudi club Al Hilal is also considering a bid. Losing Ndiaye would be a gut punch for Everton, especially after he carried their attack last season. The club hasn’t commented on the rumors yet.
Real Madrid has reportedly started talks with Manchester City over Rodri, per Fabrizio Romano. The Ballon d’Or winner and Spain’s World Cup-winning captain wants to return home in the coming years, but City doesn’t want to sell. Here’s the kicker: Rodri has just one year left on his current deal. That changes the math a bit. City could either cash in now or risk losing him for nothing next summer. Madrid knows this and is pushing.
Another City player might be heading out. Brazilian winger Savinho is reportedly top of Tottenham’s transfer shortlist, according to the Standard. The 22-year-old was close to moving to London 12 months ago, but that deal fell apart. Now he’s pushing for the move again. Spurs need a spark on the wing, and Savinho fits the profile.
Nottingham Forest is closing in on Sporting Lisbon’s Ousmane Diomande for £34 million, per A Bola. The 22-year-old center-back played for Ivory Coast at the World Cup and is highly rated across Europe. Forest has been busy this window, and Diomande would be another solid piece for their back line.
Premier League newcomers Coventry City are set to break their transfer record. The Telegraph reports that Frank Lampard’s side has agreed on a £22.5 million fee with Brighton for goalkeeper Carl Rushworth. The 25-year-old impressed on loan with Coventry last season, and Lampard clearly wants him as the foundation for their top-flight return.
