Arsenal eye Juventus star Kenan Yildiz after missing out on Vinicius at Real Madrid
The Gunners are looking to strengthen the left flank after Vinicius Jr. signed a new deal with Madrid, while also keeping tabs on promising 17-year-old Georgian winger Andria Bartishvili.

The European market never slows down, and one name is turning heads simply because of his age: 17. That's Andria Bartishvili, the Georgian winger already drawing comparisons to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for the way he takes on defenders. Arsenal has put a pre-contract offer on the table, and the club isn't alone in the chase: Liverpool and Juventus are also tracking him closely. The teenager's contract with FC Kolkheti runs out at the end of the year, meaning any of these clubs could land him for next to nothing.
But Arsenal isn't just banking on the future. According to The Independent, the Gunners are now exploring a move for Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz to bolster their left side after missing out on Vinicius Junior, who ended up signing a new contract with Real Madrid. The 21-year-old Turkish international scored 11 goals last season across all competitions, and Juventus has no intention of letting him go cheaply: the Italian club is asking more than 70 million euros for him. Meanwhile, Saudi side Al Hilal has added Gabriel Martinelli to its list of targets, according to Fabrizio Romano, after previously being strongly linked with Pedro Neto.
Over at Old Trafford, there's a different priority: left back. Manchester United has been in contact with Alejandro Balde's camp in recent days, though the 22-year-old is comfortable at Barcelona for now. He's not the only name on United's list for that position: the English club also likes Jorge Salinas of Racing de Santander, Lewis Hall of Newcastle, and David Raum of RB Leipzig.
Barcelona looks to Italy as Julian Alvarez deal cools
With a move for Julian Alvarez growing more difficult by the day, Barcelona has started looking toward Milan. According to Florian Plettenberg, Lautaro Martinez has become a target for the Catalan club. Inter's captain has spent eight seasons at the club, racking up 175 goals and 56 assists in 376 appearances, numbers that speak for themselves. Alvarez himself has already made his stance on his future clear:
I'd rather leave Atletico than sign for Arsenal. I'd like to go to Barcelona.Julian Alvarez
Atletico, for its part, has no intention of making things easy for him unless it's a move to London.
On the completed deals front, Arsenal has brought in Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for a fee close to 51 million pounds, plus 4 million in add-ons. Aston Villa, in turn, strengthened its squad with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, on loan from West Ham with a mandatory purchase option, while Thomas Partey has headed to Saudi Arabia to sign with Al Shabab.
Tottenham, meanwhile, has finalized a deal worth up to 85 million pounds for Manchester City's Savinho: 75 million guaranteed plus 10 million in variables, capping months of negotiations that stretched back to last summer. The Spurs are also separately negotiating for another City player, Omar Marmoush.
On the defensive front, AC Milan has its sights set on Ruben Dias to reunite him with Ruben Amorim at San Siro, though the Portuguese defender's contract through 2029 complicates any potential deal. And Atletico Madrid is working to beat Aston Villa to a loan deal for Nicolas Jackson, with Mateu Alemany traveling to London to try to seal the move, amid interest from Napoli as well in the Senegalese striker.
