Arsenal are reportedly preparing to increase their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who has become a priority target. The Brazil international remains a key figure on Tyneside, so any potential move would require Arsenal to turn interest into a formal approach.
The midfielder’s profile makes him a natural focus for a side seeking greater control and defensive security in the centre of the pitch. For Newcastle, the challenge will be keeping a player now attracting attention from one of the Premier League’s leading clubs.
Manchester United are reportedly considering a €60m (£51m) bid for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. The Frenchman is viewed as one of Europe’s most promising young midfielders, and United’s interest points to a desire to add energy and long-term potential.
United have also reportedly made an enquiry for Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr. The club are expected to hand JJ Gabriel a first-team debut against Rosenborg, adding an academy storyline to an already busy recruitment picture.
Another report says Liverpool want to keep Alexis Mac Allister and Alisson as Andoni Iraola begins his first season as head coach. The squad may still need strengthening, with Hugo Ekitiké and Conor Bradley expected to remain unavailable for several more months.
In Scotland, Celtic have reportedly enquired about former Hearts player James Penrice, while Rangers remain linked with Troyes defender Sankhoun Diawara. AC Milan have reportedly attempted to disrupt that deal.
The next major storyline will be whether Arsenal and United convert reported interest into concrete bids, while Rangers and Celtic continue shaping their squads.
