A consolidated look at the latest reported transfer activity, based only on published reports.<\/p>\n
Man Utd could lose midfielder Manuel Ugarte as the Red Devils are now reportedly open to doing a deal after previously rejecting loan offers from both Aston Villa and Newcastle (Source: El Pais).<\/p>\n
Liverpool face multiple issues on the market. The club are frustrated with Ibrahima Konat\u00e9\u2019s continued delays over his contract decision and have issued a deadline for a final verdict. Chelsea and Manchester City have both explored moves for the Frenchman, while there is also interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich (Source: TEAMtalk). Liverpool are also involved in high-profile recruitment battles with Tottenham Hotspur for Al Hilal striker Marcos Leonardo, who is valued at $73.2 million (\u00a355 million) (Source: Fichajes). The same two clubs are set to compete for Juventus centre back Bremer, with Liverpool currently leading Tottenham (Source: Tuttomercatoweb). Liverpool are also considering a move to re-sign former academy winger Harry Wilson on a free transfer (Source: TEAMtalk).<\/p>\n
Chelsea are said to need to raise money after posting the biggest losses in Premier League history. The Blues have contacted Barcelona to offer left back Marc Cucurella in a deal worth $46.4 million (\u20ac40 million, \u00a334.9 million) (Source: El Nacional).<\/p>\n
Several younger targets and defensive profiles are attracting interest across Europe. Palmeiras have rejected bids of over $29 million (\u00a321.8 million) for 16-year-old winger Eduardo Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, after enquiries from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle (Source: UOL). Newcastle are reportedly looking to sign 19-year-old Real Madrid centre back Diego Aguado (Source: AS). Udinese centre back Thomas Kristensen is being tracked by Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, while AC Milan, Bologna and Juventus are also keen (Source: Tuttomercatoweb). Barcelona want a left-sided defender capable of playing centrally and out wide, with Arsenal\u2019s Riccardo Calafiori emerging as a target (Source: Fichajes).<\/p>\n
In midfield market moves, Real Madrid expect a discount over Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez from Chelsea amid tension after the player\u2019s recent comments. Fern\u00e1ndez\u2019s price is cited at over $160 million (\u20ac140 million, \u00a3122 million) (Source: Defensa Central). Chelsea would now be prepared to negotiate with Real Madrid for closer to $116 million (\u20ac100 million, \u00a387.2 million) (Source: SPORT). Real Madrid have concerns about paying that figure and would prefer Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Vitinha at that price point, with a deal only possible if the Portugal international requests a transfer (Source: AS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
