European Football Transfer Update: Bayern Targets Barcola, Leão, Williams; Liverpool Eyes Guéhi

European Football Transfer Window Update

As the European football transfer window heats up, several clubs are actively pursuing new talent.

Clubs Pursuing Wingers

Bayern Munich is currently evaluating a trio of wingers: Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola, Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, and AC Milan’s Rafael Leão. Their search, led by sporting director Max Eberl, includes close monitoring of Barcelona’s dealings with Williams, while conversations with agents are ongoing at their training camp in Florida.

Premier League Moves

In the Premier League, Liverpool is set to make a move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi once they finalize the departure of defender Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen. The expected £30 million from Quansah’s transfer will significantly bolster Liverpool’s bid for the 24-year-old Guéhi, who is attracting attention from multiple clubs.

Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen is negotiating with Liverpool over Quansah, indicating an active summer for both clubs. Meanwhile, Arsenal may witness the departure of midfielder Thomas Partey, who is likely to leave on a free transfer since contract negotiations have stalled.

Goalkeeper Transfers

Further insights reveal that Napoli is closing in on Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić for a fee of around €18 million, with the keeper having previously attracted interest from Manchester United and AC Milan.

Interest in Noni Madueke

Meanwhile, the transfer spotlight is also on Chelsea’s Noni Madueke, with Arsenal joining the ranks of clubs keeping tabs on the winger’s availability this summer. It’s reported that Madueke is not considered untouchable at Stamford Bridge, allowing several Premier League teams the chance to negotiate for his services.

Barcelona and Juventus Transfers

In other news, Barcelona has initiated discussions regarding Roony Bardghji, a winger from Copenhagen, as they continue their efforts to strengthen their squad, distinctly separate from their pursuits of Nico Williams. Additionally, Juventus‘ versatile winger Timothy Weah has caught the eye of four European clubs, including Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, as well as RB Leipzig.

Ongoing Conversations

Finally, AC Milan has expressed interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka, starting talks about the 32-year-old midfielder who is open to a new challenge after a two-year stint in the Bundesliga. The ongoing transfer gossip reflects a busy and potentially transformative summer for many clubs in Europe.
