A new week and a fresh set of rumors and completed deals over the weekend to bring you here on thefootballchronicle.com's Daily Transfer Roundup.
Let's not delay.
Let's dive in.
And we'll start with Yann Diamande, someone who has been very much linked with some huge clubs across Europe, including, but not limited to, Arsenal, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain.
But now it looks as though he's going to head over to the Spanish capital because he has agreed a deal with Real Madrid.
He's heading to the Santiago Bernabu, and that confirmation is expected in the coming days.
Liverpool, of course, previously bid for him 69 million, but that ended up being not very nice for the Ivorian services.
He's heading to Madrid instead.
Juventus, they are working on a deal to sign Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United during this window.
We gave Liverpool a little mention before.
Let's talk about one of their former players, Mohamed Salah, of course, a star for Egypt, a star for Liverpool back in the day as well, but where is he going to go?
He has been heavily linked with the likes of Saudi Arabia this summer, but he could instead be heading over to Turkey because Istanbul giants Besiktas are waiting on a decision from Salah after submitting their final offer for the Egyptian forward's services.
And of course, he would come on a free transfer.
His contract at Liverpool expired a few weeks ago.
But from Liverpool's past to Liverpool's future, Federico Chiesa wants to be a part of it, but he has said that he wants to have a new chapter at Anfield.
What that means isn't exactly clear, but I would wager that probably means he wants to get more game time under their new manager Andoni Iraola.
And if he doesn't, the Italian will probably arrivederci at that point.
On the potential ins, though, for Liverpool and also Arsenal, PSG wants 145 million for Bradley Barcola.
That could well price him out of a deal of any Premier League side at this point.
That would make him comfortably the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League.
But will Liverpool pay up?
Will Arsenal pay up?
I have my doubts personally for that price.
But PSG, could they be persuaded to let him leave for less?
Again, I doubt it, but we'll see how that all evolves.
Now that's an ambitious rumor for Arsenal, but an even more ambitious one is Vinicius Jr. Vini Jr. Has been linked over to Arsenal over the past few days, and I just do not see this, to be honest.
Real Madrid reportedly have set a minimum price of 160 million, which to be honest with you, I'm surprised they've gone that low.
He's an incredible player.
He's a key player in that side.
And yeah, even though the likes of Diamande's coming in, he's still gonna be one of the stars there.
He's still gonna be a first team regular player every single week at the Santiago Bernabu.
So I do not see this in a month of Sundays.
But I've been wrong before and I could be wrong again, but it's still 160 million, 137 million that works out to.
I don't see Arsenal paying that much for him, and I also don't see Vini Jr. Angling to try and get a move away from Spain just to go to Arsenal.
No disrespect to Arsenal, but I think he's very happy over in Spain.
The one bit of credence you could say with this deal, though, is that he is in his final year of his contract, so maybe Real Madrid don't want to lose him on a free, but again, I'd, I'd be shocked if he goes personally.
A much more credible rumor with Arsenal is that around Bruno Guimares, of course, the captain for Newcastle United.
He has been heavily linked with a move down to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal reportedly having several bids rejected via intermediaries.
They are looking at a bid potentially seventy, eighty million pounds for his services.
Will Newcastle accept?
We'll have to wait and see.
This has been dragging on for some time now.
I do think he's gonna move, but we're not quite there yet.
From North London to South West London, Fulham specifically.
But not to talk about Fulham, we're gonna talk about Chelsea.
They are demanding a significant fee for their Portuguese winger Pedro Neto amid interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester City and also several Saudi Arabian clubs as well.
But then going back to North London and talking about Tottenham, they are the favorites to sign Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City.
That has been a rumor that's been doing the rounds for at least the past year, but he's not signed yet.
Will this be the window when that happens?
Well, Spurs have not been shy when it comes to splashing the cash.
Al-Hilal have opened talks over signing Senegalese winger Iliman Ndiaye from Everton this window.
Bournemouth are reportedly not looking to sell their twenty-year-old French striker Junior Eduoard, despite interest from Barcelona.
Fulham are the leading option for eighteen-year-old Argentine midfielder Franco Mastantuono.
I've not said that right.
There's his name on the screen.
There you go.
Good luck.
If Real Madrid send him on loan next season, if Real Madrid want to send him on loan, this is not a permanent transfer.
And the final rumor for you guys, Portuguese midfielder Joo Palhinha wants to fight for his place at Bayern Munich, but Bayern don't want to see him in the squad.
They want to get rid of him, so it could be auf wiedersehen to him on a permanent basis.
Couple of done deals for you guys over the weekend that were completed in the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League as it was as well.
Ipswich Town have confirmed the signing of Denzel Maeda from Celtic on a three-year contract.
The deal is reported to be in the ballpark of ten million pounds.
And West Ham United have confirmed the sale of their winger, Crescentio Summerville, to Al-Hilal over in the Saudi Pro League.
The deal is reported to be at a minimum of sixty million pounds, riding-- The deal is reported to be in the region of sixty million pounds, rising to sixty-five million pounds if certain add-ons are reached.
So yeah, guys, some huge deals there potentially happening this week.
