Liverpool are reported ready to move on four players this summer: Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez and Federico Chiesa. Chiesa is said to be a candidate to return to Serie A and has been suggested as a potential makeweight in a swap for Inter midfielder Nicol\u00f2 Barella, who is valued at $69.2 million (\u00a352.4 million, \u20ac60 million).<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle have reportedly placed a $109.5 million (\u00a382.9 million, \u20ac95 million) valuation on Anthony Gordon as they resist interest from Arsenal. Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson is attracting attention from Liverpool and Manchester United as he approaches free agency, and Roberto De Zerbi has publicly highlighted him as an ideal signing for Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n<p>RB Leipzig have been linked with Arsenal\u2019s Gabriel Martinelli, who appears likely to leave this summer. Arsenal are meanwhile expected to make a formal offer for Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane, whose agent has publicly valued him at $115.3 million (\u00a387.3 million, \u20ac100 million).<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United are reported to be planning a summer sale to raise as much as $132.1 million (\u00a3100 million) by moving Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, Andr\u00e9 Onana, Rasmus H\u00f8jlund and Marcus Rashford. Newcastle are among clubs reportedly pursuing Ugarte, with Juventus thought to be leading the race for a player also admired by Aston Villa and Galatasaray; Ugarte is valued at $46.1 million (\u00a334.9 million, \u20ac40 million).<\/p>\n<p>Inter are preparing for the possible departure of Alessandro Bastoni and have identified Riccardo Calafiori as a replacement, with Juventus also showing interest. Barcelona are also considering Calafiori, who can operate at left back, centrally or in midfield. Inter have been linked with Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, viewed as a value option at $23.1 million (\u00a317.5 million, \u20ac20 million).<\/p>\n<p>Vinicius Junior\u2019s representatives have reportedly contacted Manchester United and several Premier League clubs amid stalled contract talks at Real Madrid, with Chelsea also alerted. Barcelona have set a ceiling of \u20ac50 million for Juli\u00e1n Alvarez while Atl\u00e9tico Madrid are thought to be demanding more than twice that sum. Diogo Dalot is on Real Madrid\u2019s shortlist to replace Dani Carvajal, and Ronald Ara\u00fajo\u2019s future at Barcelona appears likely to be away from the club as they await concrete offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer transfer roundup: Liverpool sales, Man Utd summer clearout and Vinicius Jr interest.
