Arsenal have reportedly begun talks with De Cuyper's agent, per Tuttosport in February, in an effort to reach a contract agreement. The Gunners are eager to secure a deal with the Belgium international before other top clubs get involved.
The report also mentions that AC Milan have reached out to De Cuyper's representative, while West Ham United and Juventus have scouted him multiple times this season.
Moreover, the Belgian club is asking for €25 million (£20.6m / $25.9m) to sell De Cuyper, a fee well within Arsenal's budget.

PSG See £40M-Rated Aston Villa Target as Ideal Replacement for Man Utd-Linked Star
PSG are dealing with increasing uncertainty in goal, and LOSC Lille's Lucas Chevalier has emerged as a possible long-term solution. The 23-year-old French goalkeeper is drawing strong interest with the summer transfer window in full swing. Gianluigi Donnarumma is still under contract through 2026, but a series of high-profile errors has cast doubt on his future. While he's delivered in big moments—particularly in Champions League clashes with Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal—his overall consistency remains a concern. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, ESPN FC reported that Donnarumma wants to remain in Paris, though Manchester United and Inter Milan are closely monitoring his situation. Will Gianluigi Donnarumma leave PSG?According to L'Équipe, Chevalier could be an option for PSG if Donnarumma doesn't sign a new deal. PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos sees the French goalkeeper as an ideal replacement should the Italian move on. That said, Chevalier is happy at Lille and isn't in a hurry to leave, with a contract extension also still on the table. ESPN recently reported that Aston Villa have reached out to LOSC Lille about a potential move for Chevalier. The Frenchman is considered a possible replacement for Emiliano Martínez, who is exploring a move away from the club. The young goalkeeper impressed last season, particularly in the Champions League, and has been with Lille since the age of 10. Lille are said to be asking for around £40 million. PSG are also keeping an eye on Chevalier and view him as a backup option if they're unable to agree to a contract extension with Donnarumma.

Louis Munteanu transfer cover broken as Celtic told Balikwisha's private feelings amid 'ridiculous' left back offer
Cluj boss Dan Petrescu has branded Louis Munteanu "irreplaceable" following reports of a £6.9million bid from Celtic The Scottish Premiership champions are keen to sign a striker despite the incoming arrivals of Shin Yamada - but Brendan Rodgers' declared the club would like to add even more firepower. The Hoops have lost both Nicolas Kuhn to Como and Kyogo Furuhashi in the last six months - and Rodgers insists he needs to replaced the goals that have been lost since January. READ MORE: Kasper Schmeichel tells Celtic fans what he's really thinking about fairytale Parkhead ending READ MORE: Benjamin Nygren blows Brendan Rodgers away as Celtic boss reveals real 'value' dwarves £2.2m transfer fee And reports in Romania claim that the the Hoops have seen an offer of just under £6.9million booted out by the Transylvania based club - with the club holding out for a £15.5million. Cluj owner Nelutu Varga told Sport Pesurse : "I have clearly said that Louis Munteanu will only leave if someone pays 18 million euros. I am not discussing anything else." And Petrescu is keen to keep the frontman who netted 25 goals last term. He said: "Louis Munteanu will be almost irreplaceable. If we get a player who scores that many goals, it means we won the lottery." Royal Antwerp wide man Michel-Ange Balikwisha is top of Celtic's list to replace the Kuhn after his move to Como Sporting director Marc Overmars has declared that he will only sell the winger for the right price - but reports suggest that a deal could be done with the Belgian outfit in dire need of a financial boost. Speaking to Off the Underside, Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph claimed that the wide man has given Celtic an "indication" he would like to join the club this summer after long-standing interest. Celtic have also been credited with an interest in Manchester United misfit Tyrell Malacia as they search for a new left-back. After Greg Taylor's departure, the boss is looking to add competition for Kieran Tierney. Celtic had shown interest in taking the Netherlands international on loan in January, Reports suggest that after United need to sell him for £3.22million to avoid a loss under the profit and sustainability rules (PSR). It is claimed the club willing to accept that lowball bid due to the lack of interest so far this summer - and former United striker Teddy Sheringham has branded the situation "ridiculous." He told Sky Bet: 'It's very easy to spend money on players, but it's hard to recoup it. 'It seems quiet, but I bet there's lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester United. Other clubs know United's position. 'They've made it known that they're looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers. 'I would assume that's what football clubs are doing around Europe, and Manchester United are turning them down at the moment. 'The longer that goes on, I reckon those offers might be a little less ridiculous, but United want these players off the books – they've made their bed and they've got to lie in it. 'They'll probably take anything from a quarter to a fifth of their asking price for some of them.'

Arne Engels in powerful Celtic response to direct question about the future of dazzling Daizen Maeda
Arne Engels is hoping Celtic can keep Daizen Maeda under lock and key until the transfer window slams shut. The Hoops have kicked off contract extension talks with the speed merchant who is being tracked by Brentford and several other clubs in England and across the continent. Maeda was at his blistering best in Saturday's 4-0 demolition job on EPL Newcastle United as Brendan Rodgers' men went up the pre-season gears. The Parkhead boss snapped up rapid hitman Shin Yamada at the weekend but is looking to add more firepower in the coming weeks. Engels admitted keeping hold of player-of-the-year Maeda would be huge. READ MORE: Michel Ange Balikwisha to Celtic is now 'possible' as next transfer on the brink with two mega exits vetoed READ MORE: Be Afraid Rangers, Be Very Afraid as arrogant English sent Celtic wake up call after £20m dig on the Hotline When asked if Celtic can lock him up until September 1, the Belgian said: Hopefully! He's an amazing player and also really good for us and in the dressing room too. "He's a lovely guy, so hopefully he will stay. We never know what is going on. 'He would be fantastic for us next year and like Saturday also. He's just an amazing person that is really helping us in every kind of aspect of the game.' Celts are chasing two new wide men and a striker for starters, while winger Marco Tilio is set for a loan more to Rapid Vienna - ahead of a £1.3m permanent switch next summer. Engels insisted the Hoops are already in strong shape – even before more recruits check in. He said: "We have a really good squad. And there will be always rumours about players coming in, going. It's up to us to keep this all inside and to work on the players that are here. You see that on Saturday also, that we have a lot of quality already. "We'll see what's going in and going out, we never know, but the squad that is now here is fantastic. All the boys are doing really well. "It's always nice to get a lot of quality players in and it's up to us then to show ourselves to the manager and to everybody else in the stadium and outside. "But it's always going to be competition everywhere where you go, so it's then just keeping doing the right things that you always do good. There will be always competition.' Engels enjoyed an impressive first season at Celtic despite arriving with a hefty £11m price tag. The Belgian cap was linked with a quick-fire move toSerie A Atalanta but the midfield powerhouse has shrugged off departure speculation and insisted his sights are set on a blockbuster second term. Engels said: "I'm trying to do my best here and to get ready for the new season. There will always be rumours and it's up to me to just show on the field what I'm up to. "I'm here at Celtic and I really want to do great for this club and to reach a lot of things, so I'm not really thinking about something else.' Celtic will head to Italy in the ext 48 hours to compete in the Como Cup, where they'll square up with Ajax on Thursday and then the winner of Como's clash with Al-Ahili at the weekend. Club chiefs will be working in the background at brining in new faces and while the manager has been pleased with the progress, he insisted the Hoops are just getting warmed up. Rodgers said: 'It's been building for us, but there is more to come. There's more to come in as well. But you can see the progression with this group at the moment. Preparation will be about continuing our fitness levels and tactical ideas. We want to get some more players to come in and support the guys here so we will be ready for a long, and hopefully exciting, season.'
