The football transfer window has seen major moves by top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and PSG. Bayern Munich’s decision not to sign Declan Rice has allegedly opened up opportunities for Manchester United and Chelsea, who have shown interest in the midfielder.

Arsenal is reportedly preparing for Nicolas Pepe’s potential departure and is open to offers. West Ham United is eyeing Yunus Musah as a replacement for Rice. Paris Saint-Germain is in talks to acquire Kang-In Lee, while Chelsea is considering a £50 million deal for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly made a joint offer to Leicester City for James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, but Leicester is likely to reject the bid. Bayern Munich’s interest in Moises Caicedo has allegedly ended, leaving Chelsea in contention for his signature. Bayern Munich has taken the lead in the race to sign Kim Min-jae, despite initial links with Manchester United. Negotiations are underway to finalize the transfer as per reports.

Arsenal’s bid for Kai Havertz

According to reports, Arsenal is optimistic that a £60 million offer for Kai Havertz will convince Chelsea to sell the player. The Gunners are reportedly planning to make a second bid, considering that Chelsea’s need to offload players this summer might lead them to lower their initial asking price of £70 million. Although reports suggest that Bayern Munich has also shown interest in signing Havertz, Chelsea hopes this competition will drive up the price. However, Arsenal is reportedly seen as the frontrunner to secure Havertz’s services.

West Ham closing in on Edson Alvarez

Reports suggest that Borussia Dortmund has moved ahead of West Ham in the race to sign the star midfielder, Edson Alvarez. However, Dortmund is reportedly facing difficulties in reaching an agreement on personal terms with Alvarez, giving rays of hope to West Ham. This situation may provide West Ham a chance to make a move for their preferred choice to replace Declan Rice, who is allegedly nearing a transfer to Arsenal.

Barcelona looking at Lo Celso

Barcelona has reportedly set their sights on Giovani Lo Celso as they plan for the upcoming summer transfer window. The talented midfielder, currently on loan at Villarreal from Tottenham, seems to be on the verge of making another move to Spain. Xavi, the Barcelona club’s manager, holds a strong admiration for Lo Celso’s skills and is allegedly keen on adding him to their squad. With Barcelona’s interest in Lo Celso, the discussions and negotiations between the clubs are reportedly expected to intensify as they are eager to bring the Argentine playmaker to the Nou Camp.
