Premier League transfer round-up
Liverpool are hoping to swiftly add to the loan signing of Ronald Araujo by hashing out a deal for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola after reaching a reported agreement over personal terms. Barcola leads Liverpool’s list of transfer targets and the Reds are in talks with PSG over a fee, though the European champions are demanding £145m to sell the winger.
Arsenal have offered Myles Lewis-Skelly to multiple Premier League clubs, including rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, but both clubs have reportedly turned down the chance to sign the teenager, who is believed to want to fight for his place despite increased competition. As reported by The Independent last week, there was a chance Arsenal would reconsider their position on Lewis-Skelly after completing the signing of Bruno Guimaraes.
Meanwhile, Ferran Torres appears set to swap Barcelona for PSG, while Rodri looks set to leave Manchester City amid interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid. The World Cup winning captain is into the final year of his contract and favours a move to Barca – who are considering a second bid after an initial offer of £38m was rejected. City seem to be making preparations for that outcome as they close in on the signing of World Cup breakout star Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille.
