It has never been a straightforward journey for Myles Lewis-Skelly into the Arsenal first team. The 19-year-old's development has been rapid since his breakthrough in the 2024-25 season - he took his chance when injury was rife in the Arsenal squad to become one of the best young full-backs in the Premier League. It is important to note that the Gunners are moving closer to completing the signing of Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes for a fee which could be up to £80m - an arrival of that quality could put a barrier in front of Lewis-Skelly's route into the first team.
Crystal Palace manager, Pierre Sage, sat down with Palace TV to discuss his goals for this season and the challenge of European football. The Frenchman took over at the Eagles this summer following the departure of Oliver Glasner, and will be leading the team into the Europa League after the qualified through their Conference League win. "We want to do better in the Premier League because it's the main objective for the club," Sage said.
Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman's departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. A sudden and unexpected twist in Rafael Leao’s destiny has plunged both him and Christian Pulisic into the heart of Milan’s most captivating summer saga. Though whispers of the Portuguese talisman’s departure have echoed across Europe for weeks, a new revelation threatens to send shockwaves through the squad, promising profound consequences for the American star. For much of the transfer window, Leao appeared destined to leave Milan as interest arrived from Turkiye, while Premier League clubs were also mentioned as possible destinations. At the same time, Pulisic has remained a key figure in the club’s plans under new head coach Ruben Amorim, making the latest developments even more intriguing. Galatasaray has recently intensified its efforts to sign Rafael Leao, opening negotiations with the Italian side and submitting an official bid for the Portugal international. According to Turkish journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu, the Turkish champion offered around $40 million for a permanent transfer, but the proposal was immediately rejected because Milan continues to value the winger at between $58 million and $69 million. Thus, Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia and MilanNews respond that Milan has no intention of accepting a discounted fee and will only consider a permanent transfer if their valuation is met. The club also rejected previous ideas involving loan deals, making it clear they are only interested in a full sale. Rafael Leao of AC Milan looks on Despite the failed opening offer, Galatasaray is said to be preparing an improved proposal that could approach $46 million, although that still falls short of the Rossoneri’s asking price. Turkish media also claim Leao has shown interest in the move, while other reports suggest his position is becoming increasingly complicated. Leao reportedly changes his stance Just weeks ago, Leao openly admitted he wanted a new challenge after spending seven seasons with Milan. His comments appeared to signal the end of his time at San Siro, especially after missing out on Champions League action. However, recent reports suggest the situation has changed dramatically. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Portuguese forward has begun reconsidering his future after returning for pre-season, feeling welcomed once again by teammates and encouraged by the atmosphere under Ruben Amorim. Rafael Leao of AC Milan during the Serie A match. According to the newspaper, the 27-year-old has realized that leaving is no longer his only option. Instead, he is reportedly open to repairing his relationship with the club and continuing his career in Italy if the right transfer proposal never arrives. Further reinforcing that idea, Pietro Mazzara of MilanNews reported that Leao has informed Milan he wants to stay for now, even though the club remains willing to listen to offers that match its valuation. Why Leao staying could directly affect Christian Pulisic The biggest consequence of Leao remaining at Milan concerns Christian Pulisic’s role under Ruben Amorim. Earlier this summer, reports suggested Amorim viewed Pulisic as his first-choice option in the left-sided attacking midfield role within his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, with the American expected to operate between the lines rather than as a traditional winger. During his unveiling, Amorim made his admiration for Pulisic perfectly clear. “Pulisic is truly a very talented player. He got injured at the World Cup, we’ll have to understand. But he’s perfect for the way Italian football is… I have clear ideas about how I want to see him play… I want him between the lines… He’s very important for us.” Rafael Leao of AC Milan interacts with Christian Pulisic Those comments fueled speculation that there might be little room for Leao in the new tactical set
Matthias Jaissle has quite an act to follow at Newcastle United. Just like Newcastle's moves to sign young players from the continent, there is an element of risk with this appointment as the club bring in a manager who has never coached in the Premier League before. Jaissle delivered success in Saudi Arabia and Austria - with Al-Ahli and Red Bull Salzburg respectively - but this will be the first time he has sampled life in one of Europe's top five leagues.
With Arsenal interested on pursuing his signing, Real Madrid have reportedly made a final salary offer to Vinicius Junior that falls below the current deal with Kylian Mbappe. Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid are actively negotiating an extension to secure the Brazilian winger’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu, with his current contract set to expire in less than a year. While Arsenal remains attentive to his situation, Real Madrid has reportedly presented a final salary offer that falls below Kylian Mbappe‘s compensation package. After months without reaching a breakthrough, Real Madrid‘s front office has intensified efforts to finalize Vinicius’ extension. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that recent discussions between the club and Roc Nation (the agency representing the player) were described as “very positive” by both sides. However, the team’s proposal remains well below the winger’s original asking price. According to Spanish outlet Cadena SER, Vinicius sought a net annual salary of €30 million (around $33 million USD), a figure turned down by Real Madrid. The club’s counteroffer stands at €22 million (around $24 million USD) annually through 2031 on a five-year extension, which the player’s camp has rejected. Under his previous contract, Vinicius earned a net salary of €18 million per season, scaled up from an initial €10 million base over time. The latest terms offered by the Spanish giants sit at €22 million, with performance incentives that could push the total to €24 million based on milestones such as winning the UEFA Champions League, the Ballon d’Or, and La Liga titles. Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid. A €24 million total package would place Vinicius among the club’s highest earners, yet it still trails Mbappe’s full earnings. The French forward commands a net base salary of approximately €15 million per season (translating to a gross fixed base of around €31.25 million annually or €600,000 per week). The true financial distinction lies in Mbappe’s signing bonus, which ranges between €100 million and €125 million linked to performance clauses after arriving on a free transfer. Divided into annual installments over his five-year deal, that bonus brings Real Madrid’s total outlay for Mbappe to roughly €35 million net (around $38.5 million USD) per year. Arsenal willing to meet Vinicius’ wage demands The possibility of Vinicius entering the final year of his deal has opened the door for rival European clubs to launch ambitious bids. Arsenal has emerged as the most aggressive suitor, with Cadena SER reporting that the Gunners are prepared to offer a transfer package worth €100 million plus €20 million in performance add-ons. Crucially, Arsenal are reportedly willing to grant Vinicius the exact salary increase he requested from Real Madrid. With manager Mikel Arteta eager to make the Brazilian the focal point of his attack, contract talks remain ongoing between Real Madrid and the player while the Premier League club continues to monitor the situation.
