– Real Madrid are keeping an eye on AS Roma<\/a> midfielder Manu Kon\u00e9<\/a> and are considering him an option for future transfer windows, says AS<\/a>. Los Blancos have been closely monitoring the 25-year-old’s performances and scouted him live on various occasions, but they consider their business in this window completed — even if they have a big-name departure, with Eduardo Camavinga<\/a> and Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni<\/a> being watched by Manchester United<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a> and Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Arsenal have renewed interest in signing Real Madrid forward Endrick, says TEAMtalk<\/a>. Endrick, 20, moved to Madrid from Palmeiras in 2024 for a fee of \u20ac72 million but spent last season on loan at Lyon<\/a> where he scored eight goals in 21 games. The Brazil<\/a> international’s representatives are open to a move, and a host of Premier League<\/a> clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City<\/a> and Manchester United have been linked with him, though Madrid aren’t thought to be ready to let him leave. The Gunners are keen to bring in a new left winger after the impending exit of Gabriel Martinelli<\/a> to Al Hilal<\/a> and have Endrick, Malick Fofana<\/a> (Lyon), Igor Paix\u00e3o<\/a> (Marseille<\/a>) and Marcus Rashford<\/a> (Man United) on their shortlist.<\/p>\n

– Liverpool<\/a> are still trying to sign Crystal Palace<\/a> winger Isma\u00efla Sarr<\/a>, despite seeing an initial \u00a350 million offer rejected, reports The Independent<\/a>. New boss Andoni Iraola wants to bring in three players before the deadline including two wingers — as Cody Gakpo<\/a> could leave amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> — with one of those to be Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola<\/a> after a transfer that could reach up to \u20ac140 million was agreed. The Reds have moved on from Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a>‘s Yankuba Minteh<\/a> after being priced out of a deal, but aren’t giving up on Sarr yet.<\/p>\n

The Turkish Super Lig side are offering the Portugal<\/a> international an annual salary worth around \u20ac12 million, but Leao is yet to decide his future. The report claims that the 27-year-old’s preference is to join Villa, but Milan would prefer a permanent deal this summer.<\/p>\n
