PSG want £145m for Barcola - Monday's gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Monday transfer gossip roundup said Paris St-Germain would seek £145m for France forward Bradley Barcola, with Arsenal and Liverpool listed as interested clubs. The item was attributed to The Times. Barcola, 23, is presented as one of the leading attacking names in a market where several major European clubs are being linked with wide forwards.

The roundup also focused on Arsenal’s possible attacking plans. Citing Sport, BBC said Real Madrid have put a 160m euro (£137m) valuation on Vinicius Jr, although Arsenal have not started talks for the Brazil forward. The Mirror was cited as saying Arsenal would be prepared to make Vinicius the highest-paid player in the club’s history, while AS reported that the 26-year-old’s preference is to extend his stay at Real Madrid, with one year remaining on his contract.

In midfield, BBC cited TalkSport as reporting that Arsenal are expected to step up discussions for Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes. TeamTalk was cited as saying the 28-year-old Brazil international wants clarity on his future within the next week, before he returns for Newcastle’s pre-season camp.

Other reported lines in the BBC digest included Tottenham being described by The Sun as favourites for Manchester City winger Savinho, Real Madrid agreeing personal terms with RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande according to Sky Sports, and Al-Hilal opening talks for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye via Fabrizio Romano.
