Real Madrid Plot Bold Haaland Swoop as Man United Issue Garnacho Ultimatum

Sports Illustrated compiles the most recent transfer speculation and rumors from across the globe.

Premier League

Chelsea have rejected an offer exceeding €170 million (£148.4 million, $199.6 million) for star midfielder Cole Palmer from Manchester City, according to Fichajes. The Blues would only consider selling for a record-breaking £250 million (€286.3 million, $336.1 million).

Bayern Munich are nearing the acquisition of Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, Santi Aouna reports. An agreement could be reached for approximately €75 million (£65.5 million, $88.1 million).

Should Liverpool need to find a replacement for Díaz, ESPN indicates Real Madrid winger Rodrygo is among their top targets. Sporting director Richard Hughes has interest in Bradley Barcola but understands Paris Saint-Germain will decline negotiations.

Manchester United aim to secure a purchaser for Alejandro Garnacho before month's end, GIVEMESPORT reports. The winger is being encouraged to decide on his preferred destination soon, with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all showing interest.

Flamengo are negotiating with Arsenal regarding a loan deal for striker Gabriel Jesus, RTI Esporte reports. The Brazilian has given his approval for the transfer as he seeks consistent playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Leandro Trossard and Oleksandr Zinchenko will both continue with Arsenal this summer, as reported by FootballTransfers. Zinchenko had previously requested a departure but has been persuaded to remain by manager Mikel Arteta.

Newcastle United are prepared to abandon negotiations with Brentford regarding striker Yoane Wissa, according to Sky Sports News. Although they're willing to raise their initial £25 million ($33.6 million) offer, Brentford's expectations have made them doubt a deal is achievable.

Among Newcastle's potential signings is RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško, and Florian Plettenberg reports discussions are underway to reach terms on personal conditions. The striker is valued at up to €100 million (£87.3 million, $117.4 million).

Tottenham Hotspur are willing to lower Son Heung-min's asking price should he request a move to Major League Soccer club LAFC, GIVEMESPORT states. Understanding that substantial transfer fees are uncommon in MLS, Spurs would seek only £20 million ($26.9 million) to sanction his departure.

West Ham United are working to outpace Nottingham Forest and Everton in securing Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, who TBR Football reports is also being monitored by Tottenham.

Everton are in detailed discussions regarding a move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana, Fabrizio Romano confirms.

La Liga

Real Madrid are willing to part ways with Vinícius Júnior next summer should he refuse to lower his salary expectations during contract renewal discussions, Cadena SER reports. The funds generated could be directed toward acquiring Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, whom president Florentino Pérez envisions partnering with Kylian Mbappé.

Another Man City player has caught Real Madrid's attention as well. CaughtOffside reports the La Liga giants are prepared to offer Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga and €40 million (£34.9 million, $47 million) in exchange for midfielder Rodri, though City are declining to consider proposals.

Barcelona wish to offload goalkeeper Iñaki Peña but, per Mundo Deportivo, have been compelled to delay his departure since neither Joan García nor Wojciech Szczęsny is registered with La Liga and Marc-André ter Stegen remains injured, making Peña the sole available senior goalkeeper.

Atlético Madrid have entered the competition to acquire Man Utd winger Alejandro Garnacho, Fichajes reports. Diego Simeone recognizes Garnacho's desire to stay in the Premier League but remains prepared to submit an ambitious offer.

Departing Atlético is Thomas Lemar. Ivan Quirós reports an arrangement has been finalized for the French winger to join Girona on loan for the coming season.
