– Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise wants to make a move to Real Madrid this summer, according to Footmercato. The France forward was heavily linked with a move to the Bernabeu after Los Blancos president Florentino Perez claimed he would submit a €150 million offer for a player this summer. While that turned out to be for Atletico Madrid’s Julián Álvarez, there were plenty of rumors surrounding a deal for Olise as well. And Madrid are set to accelerate talks over a club-record transfer, with the player now seemingly open to a switch.

– Liverpool are ready to move for AFC Bournemouth winger Rayan, says TEAMtalk. Rayan, 19, has only been in the Premier League since January when he signed for around £25 million from Vasco da Gama, but the Brazil forward quickly impressed and his club could take advantage of his decent World Cup showing to make a profit. New Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola is reported to be interested in Rayan, though would not pay his release clause of £130 million, despite competition from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

– Manchester United are ready to make a €60 million offer to sign AS Roma midfielder Manu Koné as the third addition in their central ranks this summer. Tuttosport claims that a bid is being considered, with the 25-year-old France international set to join Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos as part of a midfield shuffle at Old Trafford, following Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury.

– Arsenal have no intention of allowing captain Martin Ødegaard to leave this summer, despite links surrounding his exit. TEAMtalk claims that the Gunners still view the Norway midfielder as central to the team’s plans moving forward but manager Mikel Arteta is looking to add some new arrivals in the middle of the park. Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães has been heavily linked with a switch to North London, while Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi is another on the shortlist.

– Barcelona have been linked with a potential move to sign Spain defender Aymeric Laporte, according to Mundo Deportivo. A left-footed center back is high up on the club’s priority list for this summer, with the 32-year-old among those being assessed. The former Manchester City man currently plays for Athletic Club, where he has a deal until 2028. A deal may be viewed as challenging, as the relationship between the two clubs appears to be strained after previous transfer sagas. Laporte has spent this World Cup partnered with young Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí for Spain, with the pair helping the national team reach the final.

– Inter Milan remain in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal to sign versatile full back Djed Spence, reports Fabrizio Romano. It comes after an impressive World Cup campaign for the England defender, where he played a key role in the team making the semifinals. The 25-year-old’s transfer valuation is currently higher than Inter Milan are willing to pay, but talks continue to find a potential resolution. Spence is reported to be open to a possible switch, which would see him return to Italy after a stint with Genoa in 2024.
