Football transfer rumours: Real Madrid want 'generational' Leverkusen star; Arsenal make Kimmich approach
Real Madrid scouts have urged the club to press forward with a move to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz, believing he is a 'generational' talent. ()
However, Liverpool and Manchester City believe Wirtz is more likely to stay at Leverkusen this summer after head coach Xabi Alonso confirmed he will remain at the club next season. ()
In addition to Wirtz, Real Madrid are also monitoring the development of Leeds United sensation Archie Gray. Bayern Munich too have scouted the midfielder. ()
Manchester United are prepared to pay over £86m in order to sign in-demand midfielder Joao Neves from Benfica. ()
Chelsea are also interested in Neves and had scouts at Benfica's 2-2 draw with Sporting CP on Tuesday night to watch over him, Viktor Gyokeres and Antonio Silva. ()
Barcelona are hoping to convince Xavi to change his mind and stay on as head coach by planning a bid for Erling Haaland in the summer of 2025. ()
Arsenal have made contact with Bayern Munich over the potential signing of Joshua Kimmich, whose contract at the Allianz Arena expires in 2025. ()
Reece James does not want to leave Chelsea having been linked with an exit in recent days, with the club in need of selling players to meet the Premier League's PSR threshold. ()
Tottenham will demand only £15m to part ways with Giovani Lo Celso this summer. A number of La Liga sides are interested in the Argentina international. ()
