Liverpool value Luis D\u00edaz highly, with internal estimates ranging from \u20ac80 million to \u20ac100 million. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have expressed interest in Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, although the player prefers to stay in the Premier League, where Aston Villa and Chelsea are monitoring him.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea recently made an offer around \u20ac65 million for Juventus\u2019 Kenan Y\u0131ld\u0131z, but the Italian club is adamant about retaining the young winger. Arsenal\u2019s Mikel Arteta is pushing for a move for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, who is also in talks with Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City has approached Newcastle regarding a \u00a350 million bid for right back Tino Livramento, but Newcastle aims to renew his contract. To offset potential departures, Newcastle may pursue Wolverhampton&#8217;s J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen as a striker replacement. <\/p>\n<p>In midfield, Juventus\u2019 Douglas Luiz is attracting attention from Everton, Liverpool, and West Ham \u2013 Luiz has delayed preseason return to prompt a transfer. Tottenham Hotspur, despite wishing to keep him, may loan young winger Mikey Moore after his request. Liverpool face transfer pressure from Real Madrid and Barcelona for center back Ibrahima Konat\u00e9, with Liverpool priced at \u00a340 million to avoid losing him on a free next summer.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid&#8217;s new coach Xabi Alonso has concerns about adapting Trent Alexander-Arnold defensively to his style. Barcelona are targeting Man City&#8217;s Erling Haaland as a future replacement for Robert Lewandowski; Haaland is reportedly dissatisfied in Manchester and open to leaving the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid also prepare to negotiate with Vinicius Junior regarding his contract amid concerns over his current form versus salary demands. Villarreal are close to signing Inter\u2019s Tajon Buchanan for \u20ac9 million.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Como\u2019s manager Cesc F\u00e0bregas aims to sign Inter Miami\u2019s Lionel Messi, who is uncertain about staying in MLS and may consider returning to Europe, having ruled out Saudi Arabia.
