Liverpool to rival PSG for Victor Osimhen

Liverpool are set to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to secure the signature of Victor Osimhen from Napoli, as reported by Corriere Dello Sport. PSG have reportedly tabled a staggering offer of €90 million upfront, with an additional €40 million in add-ons, making the total package worth €130 million. The misfiring performances of Darwin Núñez in the final stages of the season have further highlighted the need for Liverpool to reinforce their attacking lineup. Osimhen's prolific goal-scoring record and versatile playing style make him an appealing target for the Merseyside club.

Arsenal favourites to sign Zirkzee

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are front-runners in the race for the signature of Bologna attacking sensation Joshua Zirkzee. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, Arsenal are keen on adding a new number nine to their squad in the summer and they have their eyes set on Joshua Zirkzee. The Bologna forward has made quite a name for himself and there is no shortage of interest in his services.

Lopetegui could return to PL with West Ham

West Ham United are on the brink of securing Julen Lopetegui as their new manager, signalling a potential departure for current boss David Moyes, according to The Guardian. Previously, West Ham explored the possibility of appointing Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon. However, his contract includes a hefty €15 million (£12.8 million) release clause which the Hammers might not be prepared to meet.

Barcelona make Man City's Silva a priority target

Barcelona are reportedly intensifying efforts to secure the signing of Manchester City's versatile midfielder, Bernardo Silva, as per Sport. City remain open to negotiating Silva's departure for a fee in the region of £50 million. A transfer to Barcelona would not only fulfill Silva's desire but also reunite him with his former City teammate, Ilkay Gundogan.
