Arsenal's Price Tag for Jesus and City’s Transfer Priorities Heat Up
Arsenal has set a hefty price tag of up to £20m for their Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, 29, as the summer transfer window heats up. This demand signals the club's intent to generate funds while parting with a key player. Meanwhile, Manchester City is prioritising a move for Elliot Anderson, 23, of Nottingham Forest. This strategy reflects their plans to transition effectively into the post-Pep Guardiola era, though they have no interest in pursuing Enzo Fernandez, 25, from Chelsea. In a firm stance, RB Leipzig has declared that their Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande, 19, who is sought after by Liverpool, will not be leaving this summer, especially after the club secured a spot in next season's Champions League. On the managerial front, Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly hoping to lure outgoing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola to take over as their new manager. Arsenal is also preparing to make a move for Morgan Rogers, 23, from Aston Villa, as they look to bolster their midfield options. In goalkeeping news, Liverpool aims to retain Alisson Becker, 33, for another season, casting doubt on his potential move to Juventus. Additionally, discussions have taken place between officials from Liverpool and Inter Milan regarding a possible transfer for Curtis Jones, 25. Lastly, Savinho, 22, from Manchester City, is reportedly open to leaving amid interest from Tottenham, adding another layer of intrigue to this summer's transfer activities.
