According to The same report claims the Blues remain interested in the left-back despite the recent pause. Arsenal are said to have held positive talks with the Netherlands international's representatives with discussions over a six-year contract. Copy link Copied By Barcelona star targets Barcelona are targeting four top wingers ahead of the summer transfer window. Barca saw their attack explode last season with Ballon d'Or candidates Lamine Yamal and Raphinha contributing 102 goals. However, manager Hansi Flick wants to add even more firepower to his ranks in a bid to retain the Spanish league title and better last season's semi-final appearance in the Champions League. And Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford is among the Blaugrana's top targets… As are the below: Luis Diaz (Liverpool) Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) Ivan Perisic Copy link Copied By Inside Gyokeres saga Viktor Gyokeres has been embroiled in a heated fall-out with Sporting Lisbon amid a turbulent transfer saga. And Gyokeres' agent has come in claiming he has proof of an alleged agreement that can allow the Manchester United and Arsenal target to leave for less than his astronomical release clause. The 27-year-old has come to blows with club bosses after trying to force through a dream move to the Premier League. The striker is furious with Sporting for going back on their word over a promise to lower his £84million asking price and reportedly plans not to play for the club again. The Sweden international believes he had a gentleman's agreement to leave the Portuguese champions for £50m with a further £8m in add-ons. But that claim has been denied by club president Frederico Varandas, who insisted he will not be bullied into letting Gyokeres move to the Premier League on the cheap this summer. Copy link Copied By 'Back for Watkins' Arsenal have put their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres on hold and reignited their interest in Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins. The Gunners held talks with Gyokeres' agent over a summer move to the Emirates earlier this week.

Copy link Copied By Zirkzee stays, Hojlund leaves Manchester United have made a major decision regarding the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee at Old Trafford. According to Corriere dello Sport, United have decided to hold on to Zirkzee. This comes amid intense interest from Inter Milan for Hojlund, whom Man Utd are open to selling this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are so keen on the striker they are set to go "full speed ahead" for his signature. The two Italian sources claim the Red Devils are much more interested in a permanent deal. And Amorim's side value the striker at around £34-38million this summer. Inter prefer a loan deal with a purchase clause which is almost an obligation to buy in 2026. The Nerazzurri's offer would also include a hefty loan fee for the initial year. Copy link Copied By New transfer rule Massive transfer fees could soon become a thing of the past with players' chiefs wanting stars to have freedom to break their contracts for a fixed compensation payment. The international players' union FifPro has accused Fifa of dragging its feet over new transfer rules after the European Court agreed that ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Lassana Diarra was illegally "handcuffed" by Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow a decade ago. Major agents claimed the October ruling was the first step towards a US-style 'free agency' for players, with fees becoming a thing of the past and stars only liable to pay the balance of their contracts when they switch clubs. Top clubs and Fifa are battling to resist such a move, while this summer Prem clubs already splashed out £375million before the full market officially opens on Monday. But now FifPro has told stars and their lawyers to be ready to test Fifa's failure to react and use European law to push for freedom of movement. Copy link Copied By Chelsea target reunion Chelsea wants to reunite with Marc Guehi for a low-cost summer contract. According to a recent source, the Blues seek to sign Guehi "for a reduced fee" in order to bolster their centre-back options for their Champions League comeback. Chelsea "are eyeing a good value deal and are aiming to use his contract situation to their advantage," according to GiveMeSport, as Guehi enters the last year of his contract with Crystal Palace. In 2021, Chelsea paid £18 million to Palace for Guehi. Since then, he has made a name for himself as a regular for England, and this season, he led Palace to FA triumph. Copy link Copied By Milan target Reijnders replacement AC Milan have made contact with Valencia over a move for 22-year-old midfielder Javi Guerra, Calciomercato reports. The expected fee is €25 million. The expectation is that the Spaniard would replace the departed Tijjani Reijnders and linked-away Yunus Musah, who is on the radar of Serie A champions Napoli. Guerra is currently representing his nation at the U-21 European Championships. Copy link Copied By PSG Ballon d'Or propaganda in full effect As the Club Wolrd Cup gets underway, so does the Ballon d'Or propaganda. Favourites such as Lamine Yamal and Mohamed Salah will miss out on the major summer club tournament, but fellow contender Ousmane Dembélé will be in America hoping to sway the masses. Luis Enrique: 'The Ballon d'Or should be Ousmane Dembélé. He deserves it. No doubts at all'. Whilst Ousmane Dembele said to L'Équipe: "Being one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or is already a great victory." Copy link Copied By PSG agree Zabarny personal terms Staying on the south coast... Paris Saint-Germain and Ilya Zabarny have agreed personal terms on five year contract, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano states. Discussions continue with Bournemouth on transfer fee as talks are underway but no agreement sealed yet. The Cherries have already had one of their star centre-backs picked off them earlier in the window in the form of Dean Huijsen. Copy link Copied By Dibling on Porto radar The mecarto of Dibling continues to be of much interest for many clubs, with domestic interest stalling. FC Porto intends to secure the signing of Tyler Dibling, reveals Portuguese outlet Record.

The 19-year-old winger has scored four goals and provided two assists in 38 appearances for Southampton in 2024/25 season. The England under-21 international has a market value of €25 million, but Saints value him at a MUCH higher price.

The Blues have been widely reported to be trying to seal a deal for Gittens. However, no deal has been agreed and that paves the way for the Gunners to swoop in for the winger. According to TEAMtalk, the North Londoners are very keen on the England Under-21 international. Copy link Copied By Anthony Gordon reminder Liverpool are weighing up a £100million move for Newcastle star Anthony Gordon ahead of the summer transfer window's restart on Monday. Talks were held last summer over an Anfield switch as the Magpies looked to bring in cash to satisfy the Premier League's financial rules. The Toon are now in much better shape with the balance sheets but could have to fend off more interest from the Reds for the Scouse winger. Boyhood Liverpool fan Gordon moved to St James' Park from Everton for £45million in January 2024 and even signed a new contract last October. Paris Saint-Germain ace Bradley Barcola is a target for the Merseysiders but the European champions do not want to lose the Frenchman. That means Liverpool could revive a move for Everton academy graduate Gordon.

Talk of beating Derby's record 'embarrassing' - Harwood-Bellis
Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis says that talk of trying to not be the worst Premier League side ever is "embarrassing." Derby County hold the record for the lowest tally in Premier League history, finishing bottom on 11 points in Wednesday night, the Saints edged closer to getting over that unwanted record with a draw against Crystal Palace, that takes their total for the season to 10 points."We just wanna get over it," Harwood-Bellis told BBC Radio Solent. "It pains us to even say that is the case. It's not somewhere we expected to be and it's embarrassing - we're not gonna shy away from that."We will look to rack up the points and try to put an uplift going into next season, that has to be the main focus. "That's down to our mentality and we'll see who the real characters are going into the final games of the season."Supporters found plenty to be encouraged about at St Mary's on Wednesday night. Despite the late equaliser by Palace, at the full-time whistle most fans were on their feet applauding the team for their efforts. Saints produced some moments of quality in the match and a brilliant move to take the lead in the first half. Ivan Juric's side will hope to build on this and carry elements of the performance into their final eight league matches. They face Tottenham away on Sunday, the reverse fixture earlier in the season was Russell Martin's last before being sacked - they lost that game 5-0.
