The transfer window madness continues in the Premier League as Arsenal and Liverpool jostle for midfield deals while Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle United battle it out for the signature of Declan Rice. With just a few weeks left until the transfer window shuts, the stakes are higher than ever, and rumors and speculations are rife. In this article, we dive deep into the latest transfer gossip, revealing how two top sources have put Liverpool in their place and how Declan Rice is choosing between his options. Let’s get into it.
A potential Liverpool deal for Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch might be derailed as both Bayern Munich and Arsenal are in the mix, according to reports. Liverpool’s back-up midfield plans have been in motion since abandoning their pursuit for Jude Bellingham. They are now looking at several names, including Bayern’s Dutch international, Ryan Gravenberch. Liverpool made a “strong pitch” to the player’s camp which was warmly received. However, two trusted sources in Germany have confirmed that Bayern are insisting that Gravenberch is not for sale. Even if a sale is sanctioned, Arsenal have already expressed their interest in the player. Gravenberch has been on Liverpool’s radar dating back to last summer, but Bayern refused to loan the player out just six months after his arrival.
The Athletic previously reported that West Ham are resigned to losing midfielder Declan Rice this summer, as Rice has reportedly rejected three offers to extend his contract. The clubs heavily linked with Rice are Arsenal and Chelsea, with Newcastle also showing interest. TalkSPORT recently reported that Arsenal were the player’s most likely destination owing to his favour of remaining in London if he does leave West Ham. Furthermore, only Arsenal of the three interested clubs will be able to satisfy Rice’s demand to play in the Champion’s League.
Finally, Arsenal is at risk of losing winger Reiss Nelson. While the club has offered him a new deal that includes a raise in his £35,000-a-week wages, Nelson remains out of contract at the end of the season. Currently, the player is prone to injury, and it will be tough to displace Bukayo Saka on his favoured right wing. Reportedly, Aston Villa, Fulham, West Ham and Brighton, as well as AC Milan, have expressed interest in him.
Transfer gossip is always an exciting topic for football fans, and this article has certainly provided us with some interesting updates. With Arsenal potentially sabotaging a deal for Liverpool’s midfield target and Declan Rice weighing his options between Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle, it’s clear that the transfer window is in full swing. As always, it’s important to take these rumours with a grain of salt until confirmed, but it’s certainly fun to speculate and imagine what could be in store for our favourite clubs. Let’s stay tuned for more transfer gossip and see how these potential deals unfold.
