In a surprise twist, Arsenal<\/a>\u2019s star summer signing Mart\u00edn Zubimendi is considering a move back to Spain after just one season in London. To combat this potential departure, the Gunners are supposedly \u201cmaking moves\u201d to hijack Manchester United<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a>\u2019s negotiations for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is rated at $93.6 million (\u00a370 million).

Should Man Utd lose out in the race for Anderson, they could turn to his Forest teammate Ibrahim Sangar\u00e9 who has wowed Red Devils scouts. The Ivory Coast international is expected to command a more affordable $58 million (\u00a343.4 million, \u20ac50 million). (Source: CaughtOffside<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Man Utd could also miss out on Newcastle United\u2019s Sandro Tonali this summer. Real Madrid<\/a> and Arsenal are credited with rival interest in the Italy international who has been priced up by his current club at more than $116 million (\u20ac100 million, \u00a386.7 million).

Aston Villa and Man Utd are among the clubs eagerly eyeing up a move for Fulham\u2019s USMNT international Antonee Robinson. The industrious left back is expected to cost $33.4 million (\u00a325 million). (Source: Sports Boom<\/a>)<\/p>\n

However, Liverpool<\/a> are believed to be Robinson\u2019s preferred destination. The Reds could be in need of another left back if Andy Robertson\u2019s contract is allowed to expire this summer. (Source: TEAMtalk<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Arsenal are billed as the team to be leading the race for Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who is expected to become a free agent this summer. (Source: CF Bayern Insider<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> are plotting a move for Bayern Munich<\/a>\u2019s talented midfielder Aleksandr Pavlovi\u0107 but the Bavarian giants are set to demand as much as $116 million (\u20ac100 million, \u00a386.7 million). (Source: Fichajes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Midfield is not the only area of concern for the Blues. Chelsea are thought to be \u201caccelerating\u201d their attempts to sign Sunderland\u2019s impressive shot-stopper Robin Roefs. (Source: Football Insider<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s first signing of the 2026 summer transfer window has \u201cnever been in doubt.\u201d The club are fully expected to make Piero Hincapi\u00e9\u2019s loan spell permanent from Bayer Leverkusen for the princely sum of $60.3 million (\u00a345.1 million, \u20ac52 million).

Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are the three Premier League clubs sniffing around former Aston Villa winger Moussa Diaby. The France international failed to join Inter during the January transfer window but is still thought to be keen on leaving Al Ittihad. (Source: Fussball Daten<\/a>)<\/p>\n

After going so close to securing his signature during the January transfer window, Fulham are expected to accelerate negotiations ahead of this summer in the push for the arrival of PSV Eindhoven\u2019s USMNT international, Ricardo Pepi. (Source: Fabrizio Romano<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Bournemouth center back Marcos Senesi is set to become a free agent this summer and has wriggled his way onto Barcelona\u2019s shortlist. (Source: Fichajes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Barcelona<\/a>\u2019s quest for young talent has led them to RB Salzburg\u2019s highly rated center back Joane Gadou. The 19-year-old Frenchman will cost Bar\u00e7a $34.8 million (\u20ac30 million). (Source: Fichajes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> are one of many suitors circling around Manchester City Bernardo Silva, who can agree a pre-contract agreement with a non-Premier League club before the end of the season. (Source: TEAMtalk<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Manchester United are preparing an offer worth $46.4 million (\u00a334.7 million, \u20ac40 million) for Barcelona left back Alejandro Balde. (Source: Fichajes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez is willing to break club protocol and table an offer worth $58 million (\u00a343.4 million, \u20ac50 million) for Manchester City\u2019s talisman Rodri, who will turn 30 before the start of next season. Normally, Madrid refrain from veering above \u20ac10 million for players of this age. (Source: DefensaCentral<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In the face of mounting Premier League interest, Real Madrid are demanding at least $81.2 million (\u20ac70 million) for Eduardo Camavinga. (Source: Fichajes<\/a>)<\/p>\n
