Overview
- Arsenal are on the brink of a €63.5 million agreement with Sporting CP for striker Viktor Gyökeres, with only performance-based add-ons left to settle.
- Manchester United have booked a medical for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo after their third bid was accepted and have lodged a matching offer to challenge Arsenal for Gyökeres.
- Liverpool have scheduled a medical to complete a potential club-record €82 million transfer for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike.
- Marcus Rashford is set to join Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United, including a €35 million option to make the move permanent.
- Financial Fair Play limits and lost Champions League revenue are driving clubs to combine high-fee arrivals with loan-to-buy exits.
