Arsenal plot raid for Real Madrid frontman after top target chooses Barcelona

Arsenal have been among the clubs who were tracking Nico Williams for the past few weeks. But everything suggests the player could be on his way to Barcelona this summer. This is why Arsenal have shifted their priorities in the market and may instead go for a Real Madrid frontman. Arsenal eye move for Rodrygo According to AS, Arsena's search for a new attacker has led them towards Rodrygo. Advertisement The Brazilian international is one of the few Real Madrid players who are in contention to leave the club after a disappointing season and a poor performance in the opening Club World Cup match. Rodrygo has found himself in a precarious position this summer, where if he fails to convince Xabi Alonso, he might be in for a reduced role in the Real Madrid setup. Arsenal have set their sights on Rodrygo (Photo by) That has put Arsenal on red alert, with Mikel Arteta reportedly keen on bringing in players that can offer versatility in the final third. Rodrygo, to that end, could be a perfect bet. Arsenal expect many hurdles However, Arsenal have accepted the signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid won't be as straightforward. Advertisement The Premier League giants are having difficulties meeting the high salary demand of key attackers. This was the problem in the Nico Williams deal and there is no reason why Rodrygo, too, will not also demand a similar package. The report adds that Arsenal are not necessary the top choice for top players across Europe and even though the Gunners are playing in the Champions League, Rodrygo might want to weigh his options. For now, though, the Brazilian remains focused on the Club World Cup, where he will have an opportunity to impress Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool's secret WEAPON in unlocking deals for Isak and Gordon

Liverpool's summer transfer plans could end up being seriously entwined with those of Newcastle United. First off, the Reds are known to be interested in Alexander Isak. The 25-year-old forward hit 23 goals for the Magpies in the Premier League last season. That helped propel the North East club back to the Champions League and establish Isak as one of the finest strikers around. Advertisement He is in many ways the dream forward for Arne Slot but it is not going to be easy to arrange a transfer. Newcastle would want over £120m for the Swede, who is out of contract in 2028. And Liverpool have also got their eye on the £75m-rated winger Anthony Gordon. The club were close to doing a deal for the England international last summer but the move hit a last-minute hitch owing to Newcastle requesting Jarell Quansah to be part of the deal. Liverpool looking at Newcastle for Isak and Gordon 24-year-old Gordon is well-known to several Liverpool squad members from England duty and last summer was reported to be keen on a return to Merseyside. And Newcastle have got a few Liverpool players in their sights. Advertisement It will be too late to add Quansah - with the defender now close to Bayer Leverkusen - but there are others in the squad they have been looking at. Diogo Jota is now reported to be of interest to the Geordies, with the Reds willing to cash in on their Portuguese talisman. Harvey Elliott's name has come up, meanwhile, as a potential Magpies target. Then there's Joe Gomez. The long-serving defender could be available for the right price this summer and if the right offer appeals to him. But Newcastle are in some off-field turmoil currently, which could make negotiations difficult. Paul Mitchell has just stood down from his post as sporting director, according to a new report in the Daily Mail. Advertisement The club are now setting about interviewing various candidates for the prestigious role and there is a very familiar name among the potential appointments. © IMAGO Julian Ward on Newcastle's wishlist 'Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell has stood down from his sporting director role with immediate effect - and Andy Howe has been asked to step up to work alongside head of recruitment Steve Nickson,' a report reads. 'Nottingham Forest chief Ross Wilson is among the candidates and former Arsenal assistant sporting director Jason Ayto will be spoken to by Nolan [recruiters]. We can also reveal that Julian Ward, Liverpool's technical director, is another name in the frame.' Advertisement Julian Ward first joined Liverpool back in 2012 after leaving Manchester City. He became European scouting manager for Spain and Portugal before a promotion to loan pathways and partnership manager. He was anointed as assistant sporting director to Michael Edwards in 2020 before taking on the sporting director role in 2022. Ward walked away from the club a year later but was convinced to return as technical director when Edwards rejoined FSG as CEO of Football. He now has a broad remit across FSG, including player development as well as the academy and loans.

Florian Wirtz taking Liverpool medical ahead of £116m move

Florian Wirtz has landed in England and is taking his Liverpool medical ahead of a British record £116m move to the club. Liverpool came to a verbal agreement with Bayer Levekusen last week after seeing three bids turned down, with a fourth and final offer worth an initial £100m plus add-ons being accepted. Advertisement He landed at Manchester Airport on Thursday afternoon, from where he travelled to Merseyside to finalise a deal. He completed the first part of his medical last night and is expected to complete it today. Wirtz also attracted attention from Bayern Munich but told the German champions he wanted to go to Liverpool and agreed personal terms with the club two weeks ago. The new English champions are believed to have impressed him with their plan while Manchester City, who also showed an interest, switched their focus to Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan and Lyon's Rayan Cherki. Wirtz smashes Liverpool's transfer record as well as edging the wider British record, which is currently held by Moises Caicedo's £115m switch to Chelsea. The Reds have previously paid £75m for Virgil van Dijk and £64m, rising to £85m, for Darwin Nunez. Advertisement Wirtz has scored 34 goals in the last two seasons for Leverkusen, helping them win a first league title in 2023/24 across an unbeaten domestic season, when he was named the Bundesliga Player of the Year. Florian Wirtz touching down at Manchester Airport (X/Marlon Irlbacher) Wirtz's expected arrival will boost Liverpool's attacking options (PA) Having always been touted as one of Germany's next big things, his supersonic rise to prominence over the past couple seasons comes after a suffering a detrimental ACL injury in 2022, which saw him out of action for 266 days. Liverpool have already signed his Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong for £29m as they begin life after Trent Alexander-Arnold. They are also in talks with Bournemouth, who want £45m for left-back Milos Kerkez, and could commit almost £200m to new signings within a few weeks. Watch every Fifa Club World Cup game free on DAZN.
