Real Madrid are increasing pressure to sign Rodri and Yan Diomande, while Juventus are close to agreeing a loan deal for striker Joshua Zirkzee from Man Utd.
The summer transfer market continues to heat up as European giants frantically activate important personnel plans. Attention is focused on Real Madrid with their ambitions to revamp their midfield and upgrade their attack, while Juventus are actively seeking solutions to strengthen their squad for the new season.
Real Madrid are ambitious to activate blockbuster deals for Rodri and Yan Diomande.
Real Madrid are preparing to send an official offer to Manchester City to acquire midfielder Rodri. The 30-year-old Spanish international has long played a key role in Man City's tactical system, and the Etihad Stadium club is still trying to persuade him to sign a contract extension. Notably, Paris St-Germain have officially withdrawn from the race, opening up a more favorable opportunity for Real Madrid.
Besides the midfield, Real Madrid are also ready to spend big on wingers. The Bernabeu club has just submitted a second offer worth between £94 and £98 million to buy Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig. The 19-year-old Ivorian talent is becoming a hot commodity on the market thanks to his explosive performances, forcing Real Madrid to fiercely compete with Liverpool to get the green light from the German club.
Keep Vinicius Jr and crush Arsenal's ambitions.
Alongside their transfer dealings, Real Madrid's management is also urgently negotiating a contract extension with Vinicius Jr. The 26-year-old Brazilian striker continues to play a key role in the head coach's attack. The move to secure Vinicius Jr.'s future is being expedited as Arsenal are closely monitoring his contract situation.
Juventus are in advanced talks to rescue Joshua Zirkzee.
In Italy, Juventus are accelerating negotiations with Manchester United regarding striker Joshua Zirkzee. The Turin club wants to loan the 25-year-old Dutch international for one season, with an option to buy for £30 million.
After a disappointing spell at Old Trafford, a move to Serie A was seen as a good opportunity for Zirkzee to regain his form and a regular starting spot.
