Gunners expected to return with fresh bid for KonsaArteta says existing players need to step up for nowArsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign defensive cover for William Saliba after Mikel Arteta revealed that Jurriën Timber is still “weeks away” from returning to competitive action.Saliba is set to be sidelined for an extended period after breaking down during the World Cup with a back injury that has been affecting him since last season. After seeing Arsenal lose a second successive friendly as Borussia Dortmund won 3-2 on Sunday to lift the Emirates Cup in a performance that featured several defensive mistakes, Arteta would not be drawn on when the France defender is expected to return but admitted that it would take “some time to heal”.

Today’s fluff is counting the penniesA sense of excitement is what Aston Villa need at the moment after selling off key players. What better way to create it than signing a prodigious talent from Real Madrid? The Villans have inquired about the Brazilian Endrick, who impressed on loan at Lyon last season, and may make a similar temporary move to the Premier League.Manchester City are not particularly keen to sell Rodri but, with a year left on his contract money may well talk, especially if the midfielder wants to leave. Barcelona’s first bid was rejected but they are readying another. One idea is to offer Frenkie de Jong as part of the deal, so at least Enzo Maresca would have a shiny new midfielder to play with.

With FC Barcelona still looking for the striker's signing with a final offer, Julian Alvarez and Diego Simeone are reportedly set to have a face-to-face meeting to define his future at Atletico Madrid. Julian Alvarez‘s future has evolved into one of the marquee storylines of the 2026 summer transfer window following the striker’s public admission of his desire to depart Atletico Madrid. With FC Barcelona still actively pursuing his signature, Alvarez and head coach Diego “Cholo” Simeone are reportedly scheduled to hold a crucial face-to-face meeting to resolve the forward’s status. Simeone has maintained a clear public stance, aligning with club leadership’s decision to retain Alvarez as a foundational piece for Atletico’s 2026-27 campaign. Following his participation in the 2026 World Cup, where he reiterated his intent to seek an exit to pursue a new challenge, Alvarez will return from vacation on Monday, August10, when the pivotal sit-down will take place. According to TyC Sports journalist and Argentina insider Gaston Edul, Julian Alvarez and Simeone will meet face-to-face on Monday to directly address the player’s future. However, the positions held by both parties remain firmly entrenched. Per Edul, after consulting those in the striker’s inner circle, Alvarez considers his tenure at Atletico to be complete and no longer wishes to remain with the club. Conversely, Atletico executives maintain an unyielding position, refusing to negotiate a departure unless an interested club triggers his €500 million (roughly $578 million USD) release clause. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone interacts with Julian Alvarez after being subbed off. (Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images) Simeone will attempt to persuade Alvarez to remain at the Metropolitano and commit to the club’s long-term vision. On the other hand, the forward aims to de-escalate tensions, which grew uncomfortable for him following the media reaction generated by the club’s public social media responses during the World Cup. With triggering the full release clause ruled out by all suitors, Barcelona‘s reported strategy is to present a formal offer worth €120 million (roughly $138 million USD), which would represent the highest proposal submitted for the Argentine star. Whether Atletico considers the bid will depend heavily on the outcome of the discussions between player and coach, mirroring the process when Alvarez met with Pep Guardiola to facilitate his exit from Manchester City. Barcelona remains preferred destination despite Arsenal and PSG interest Alvarez has drawn interest not only from Barcelona, his preferred destination, but also from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, two clubs capable of financing a transfer of this magnitude. Nevertheless, the Blaugrana remains the top choice for the Argentine international. According to Edul, even though Arsenal and PSG have submitted formal inquiries, moving outside of Spain remains a secondary option for the player. Alvarez chose to depart Manchester primarily for family reasons, making a return to England, more specific to London, an undesirable outcome for his personal situation.
