Five transfer stories to look out for today after Arsenal miss out on Vinicius Jr

  • Manchester City's captain Rodri is expected to leave and is favouring a move to Barcelona over Real Madrid, with negotiations underway for a fee reportedly exceeding €45m.
  • Arsenal's pursuit of Vinicius Jr ended as he signed a contract extension with Real Madrid, leading the Gunners to reignite interest in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez and consider PSG's Bradley Barcola as alternative attacking targets.
  • Liverpool are reportedly keen on a double swoop for Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, with PSG's recent signing of Maghnes Akliouche potentially paving the way for Barcola's departure.
  • Arsenal have agreed a £75m deal to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United, with the midfielder completing his medical ahead of an imminent announcement as a key signing for their title defence.
  • Manchester United have bolstered their midfield by signing 18-year-old Cristian Orozco from Fortaleza and are exploring left-back options, with Lewis Hall linked despite Newcastle's reluctance to sell.
