Arsenal initially saw two offers, worth €70m and €80m, rejected before the clubs agreed on a €90m fee. However, bonuses and agent fees have yet to be finalized.

- Borussia Mönchengladbach and USMNT attacking midfielder Gio Reyna is attracting interest from Strasbourg, The Athletic reports. Negotiations are reportedly ongoing with the 23-year-old's representatives amid belief that the Bundesliga club is willing to part ways with Reyna, who scored a memorable goal in the United States' 4-1 win over Paraguay at the World Cup. He has been linked with an exit from the club along with compatriot Joe Scally after making just four league starts last season, as the Foals look to rebuild their squad following a 12th-placed finish.

- Manchester United are interested in Juventus winger Francisco Conceição, according to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira. It is said that United have made an inquiry for the 23-year-old Portugal international, whom Juve could be willing to part ways with this summer. Tuttosport reports that an offer worth at least €50m would be required to land him, but there could be competition from the several Premier League clubs contacted by his agent, Jorge Mendes. Schira also reports that United have been tracking AC Milan winger Rafael Leão, 27, as a potential alternative option to reinforce their forward line.

Araújo was a standout player for Uruguay despite their disappointing World Cup campaign, scoring two goals in three games.

- Real Madrid winger Franco Mastantuono is on the radar of AS Roma and Fiorentina, Diario AS reports. Madrid are believed to be prioritizing a seasonlong loan move in Europe for the 18-year-old to garner more playing time, with clubs in Serie A leading the race for him.
