Bradley Barcola's omission from Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for the French Super Cup signals a potential boost for Liverpool and Arsenal in their pursuit of the France international winger. Barcola remained an unused substitute in PSG’s Super Cup victory over Aston Villa. Initially, the European champions were seeking £145m for the 23-year-old, but Liverpool is willing to negotiate a more favorable price as manager Andoni Iraola targets a new winger.

In a significant development, Manchester City has agreed to sell Rodri to Barcelona for a deal worth up to £65m. This transfer marks a pivotal moment for City, who will now intensify their search for Ayyoub Bouaddi, the promising 18-year-old Moroccan talent, as they enter discussions to finalize a fee with Lille for the midfielder. Moreover, City may still pursue Enzo Fernandez, despite missing the offer deadline set by Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Arsenal aims to finalize their squad ahead of the Premier League season. Both Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri were left out of Sunday’s Community Shield match. Martinelli, who declined a move to Galatasaray on Friday, remains a key figure in Arsenal's plans. Following an injury to William Saliba, the club is also keen on signing a defender, with Jarell Quansah, a former Liverpool player, identified as a versatile option capable of filling both centre-back and right-back roles.
