✍️ Vinicius Junior signs new Real Madrid deal to 2032
Vinicius Junior has committed his future to Real Madrid, signing a contract extension through 2032 — ending Arsenal's hopes of landing the Brazil forward.
The Gunners had been linked with Vinicius, who had entered the final year of his previous deal. Real Madrid announced the agreement on Thursday, securing one of the world's best players for another six years.
Real Madrid are set to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Yan Diomande after the 19-year-old left the German club's pre-season camp in Austria to travel to Spain and complete the move.
The two clubs have reportedly reached total agreement on a deal worth up to £120m, with a guaranteed fee of £107m. Add-ons are said to be included in the package, though full details of the clauses have not been confirmed.
✍️ Arsenal close in on Bruno Guimarães in £75m Newcastle deal
Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United for £75 million, with the deal reportedly agreed. Mikel Arteta gave a notably blunt response when pressed on the Brazilian midfielder's arrival, declining to be drawn on the details ahead of an official announcement.
The move comes after Arsenal suffered a friendly defeat to Real Betis, but the Guimarães signing would represent a major addition to Arteta's midfield ahead of the new season.
✍️ Atlético Madrid enter race to sign Cristian Romero from Spurs
Atlético Madrid are preparing to challenge Inter Milan for Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, according to Fabrizio Romano. Diego Simeone's side are set to enter the race for the Argentine international in a significant way.
Romero has emerged as one of the most in-demand defenders on the market, and Spurs are reportedly already working on potential replacements — suggesting the club would be open to a sale.
✍️ PSG and Man City both eyeing Chelsea's Malo Gusto
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has reportedly approved a move for Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, with the France international valued at around £75m by the Blues. PSG are said to be among the clubs interested in the defender this summer.
Manchester City have also been linked with Gusto, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge. A second deal involving Chelsea is also said to be close to completion, though details remain unconfirmed.
✍️ Man City make contact with Chelsea over Pedro Neto
Manchester City have opened direct talks with Chelsea over a potential move for winger Pedro Neto, according to reports. The approach comes as City prepare for the possible departure of Savinho to Tottenham.
The Portugal international would offer Enzo Maresca — who worked with Neto at Chelsea — a versatile attacker capable of operating on either flank, carrying the ball at pace and creating chances on the counter. Tottenham and Liverpool have also been linked with the Blues winger this summer, making this a competitive pursuit.
No fee or contract details have been confirmed at this stage.
Arsenal have reportedly given Christian Norgaard permission to undergo a medical at Everton, with a deal said to have been agreed between the clubs for the Danish midfielder.
