Real Madrid are working on a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

At this stage club-to-club talks have yet to take place, but Madrid are confident an agreement can be reached and are operating on the basis that Rodri will be joining the club this summer.

I could see him leaving City this summer, especially now Pep is gone.

Real Madrid has officially entered the race to sign young talent Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.

While Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has shown interest in Diomande, they have yet to present an offer that would sway Leipzig into considering a sale. This situation opens the door for Real Madrid as they continue to build a team to challenge Barcelona in La Liga under the guidance of Jose Mourinho.

Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa expressed his happiness at the club, even as rumours swirl about his future. Chiesa, who has made a significant impact since joining Liverpool, seems to be enjoying his time on the pitch and the camaraderie with his teammates. However, he also hinted at a desire for a new chapter in his career, suggesting that he is open to exploring fresh opportunities.

Manchester United and Arsenal are both vying for the talented French midfielder, Manu Kone. This competition between two of the Premier League's giants is sure to heat up as both clubs look to bolster their squads. Additionally, there are whispers that Nico Williams, the promising young talent, could be making a move to the Premier League champions.

Arsenal is also reportedly setting its sights on Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr. Arsenal's potential move for Vinicius Jr could be a game-changer for the club, especially considering their ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad. The Gunners have been actively looking to enhance their attacking options, and bringing in a player of Vinicius Jr's calibre would certainly make a statement.

In other transfer news, Inter Milan is showing interest in Cristian Romero, which could lead to a significant shake-up in the defensive line for both clubs.

The 35-year-old striker has 12 months left on his contract and Brighton are aware of the interest.

As a player and a leader, Welbeck appeals to Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso and - although the situation remains at an early stage - there is optimism on all sides that a deal could be done.

Leeds United is reportedly close to finalising a £40 million deal to bring goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City. This potential signing marks a significant step for Leeds, as Trafford would become their third addition of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson.

Manchester City is gearing up for a potential bid from Real Madrid for their star midfielder, Rodri. This could be a significant move, considering Rodri's impact on City's midfield.

England defender John Stones is reportedly in advanced discussions with Inter Milan regarding a potential move to the Italian club on a free transfer. Stones, known for his solid defensive skills and ability to play out from the back, could bring a wealth of experience to Inter Milan. As a key player for the England national team, his addition could significantly bolster Inter's defensive lineup as they aim for success in both domestic and European competitions.

Chelsea are not only interested in Danny Welbeck, the club is also in talks to sign Jordan Henderson from Brentford. Yes, you read that right.

Guimaraes' former club Lyon are entitled to 20 per cent of Newcastle's profit on the midfielder, and will earn £7-8m from the deal.
