As reported, Liverpool’s pursuit of Federico Valverde has reportedly received a boost as Real Madrid is now open to accepting a €90 million offer for the Uruguayan midfielder. Real Madrid’s willingness to sell Valverde may be linked to their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe for a blockbuster move this summer. Meanwhile, Chelsea is reportedly in advanced talks to sign Santos winger Angelo Gabriel in a deal worth around £15 million. The highly regarded 18-year-old Brazilian talent is reportedly set to join Stamford Bridge, though it remains uncertain whether he will be part of Chelsea’s first team, their under-21 squad, or be loaned to affiliated club Strasbourg.
Chelsea has secured the signing of Nicolas Jackson on an eight-year contract. In order to obtain more favorable payment terms, the Blues have paid Villarreal a sum slightly higher than the player’s £30.1 million release clause. This acquisition makes Jackson Chelsea’s second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Christopher Nkunku for £52 million. The 22-year-old forward has agreed to the long-term deal and will join Stamford Bridge as part of Chelsea’s squad.
Manchester United are reportedly set to hold a formal meeting with Inter Milan regarding the potential signing of Andre Onana. The club’s goalkeeper situation has undergone significant developments in recent weeks, with current number one David De Gea now expected to leave after his contract expires. Previously, it was reported that De Gea would stay for another season due to the need for reinforcements in other positions, but manager Erik Ten Hag has had a change of heart. He now desires a new first-choice goalkeeper, and Onana is seen as a primary target. Ten Hag has a high regard for Onana, having previously worked with him during their time at Ajax Amsterdam.
Arsenal is nearing the signing of Jurrien Timber from Ajax for the upcoming summer, as per reports. The two clubs are reportedly in advanced talks and are close to reaching an agreement on the transfer fee. Reports suggest that Arsenal has agreed to an initial payment of £36 million, with an additional £4 million in potential add-ons. Both clubs are eager to finalize the deal, and negotiations are expected to progress quickly over the weekend. Timber, who has previously attracted interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich, is allegedly enthusiastic about the opportunity to join Arsenal. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem. The 22-year-old Dutch international is likely to be deployed as a right-back, but he can also play as a central defender if needed.
