Barcelona may be looking to part ways with centre-back Ronald Araujo this summer. Talks of a contract extension have reportedly hit a standstill, with the club not showing any intention of improving their previous offer. This could mean that Araujo is on the list of players that Barcelona aims to offload in order to make room for new acquisitions. There are rumors that Manchester United may have already made a substantial offer for the 25-year-old, with a proposed fee of at least £75 million. Araujo’s impressive performances for Uruguay in the Copa America have certainly caught the attention of top clubs.
A Possible Move for De Bruyne
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is said to be in talks with a negotiator from the Saudi Pro League. Clubs like Al Ittihad and Al Nassr are reportedly interested in the 33-year-old Belgian, whose contract with Manchester City is set to expire soon. While De Bruyne has not made a decision about his future yet, there is speculation that he is open to the idea of a move to Saudi Arabia.
West Ham United’s Pursuit
West Ham United could be making a fresh approach for Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo. Despite having a previous bid of around €35m rejected, the Hammers remain interested in securing the 24-year-old’s services. Todibo, who has represented the French national team twice, could be a valuable addition to West Ham’s squad.
Inter Milan’s Potential Signing
Internazionale are reportedly close to signing USMNT and Venezia midfielder Tanner Tessmann. The deal is said to involve Tessmann returning to Venezia on loan for one season before fully joining Inter. The 22-year-old has been with Venezia since 2021, having transferred from FC Dallas.
Tottenham Hotspur is eyeing a move for Stade Rennais midfielder Desire Doue. The London club, having already secured a deal for Archie Gray, is looking to strengthen its squad further. However, Rennais could demand a fee of around £50 million for the 19-year-old, who had an impressive season with contributions to eight goals in 31 league appearances.
Leeds United have turned down a £30 million offer from Brighton & Hove Albion for attacking midfielder Georginio Rutter. Manager Daniel Farke reportedly sees Rutter as a key player for the upcoming season, with Leeds aiming for promotion from the EFL Championship. The club is preparing for potential offers for their top players, given their current financial situation.
Through the ongoing summer transfer window, these clubs and players are actively involved in negotiations, potential moves, and rejected offers. It remains to be seen how these transfer deals will unfold in the coming weeks as the window progresses.
