Valverde, Camavinga available

Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga, as per Miguel Serrano (via Foot Mercato).

The Spanish giants are in for a major summer overhaul following Florentino Perez’s re-election as president and Jose Mourinho’s appointment as manager, which is expected to be made official next move.

In order to fund incoming business, Real Madrid have made Valverde and Camavinga available for transfer in the hope of receiving suitable offers from the Premier League. Camavinga could be had for around €50m, while Valverde is valued at €100m.

Fernandes wants Man Utd

West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is prioritising Man Utd over his other suitors, Shaun Connolly writes.

The Portugal international is being chased by numerous clubs following the Hammers’ relegation, with Real Madrid recently described as among his strongest admirers. However, it is now claimed that he is not a priority for Los Blancos.

Instead, his future could lie at Old Trafford, with Fernandes keen to make the move. Man Utd remain in talks over a suitable fee below West Ham’s reported asking price of over €90 million.

Williams to move?

Arsenal remain “firmly in the hunt” to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, TEAMtalk claims.

The Spain international is said to be interested in a post-World Cup transfer, despite signing a new 10-year contract with Athletic Club last year. He currently has a €90m release clause.

Williams is a long-standing target for Arsenal, having been strongly linked with a move over the past two years. It is now asserted that he remains a concrete target for the Gunners as they look for a marquee left-winger.

Davies available

Bayern Munich are willing to listen to suitable offers for Alphonso Davies, BILD reports.

The Bavarians are keen to sign Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown and already have an agreement on personal terms with the Germany international. Talks are currently taking place over a transfer fee, with Frankfurt demanding €60m.

Because of Davies’ hefty wages, Bayern could look to offload the Canadian if an agreement for Brown is reached. An unnamed Saudi club is said to have already made an approach for Davies.

Gvardiol could choose Real Madrid

Man City defender Josko Gvardiol could opt to pursue a transfer to Real Madrid this summer, Sky Germany understands.

The Croatian is a key target for Los Blancos, who are keen to sign a versatile, left-sided defender. Gvardiol has also been linked with Bayern, but they currently consider him too expensive.

As a result, there are only two realistic options for Gvardiol: sign a lucrative new deal at Man City or push for a move to Real Madrid. City have already made a formal contract offer.
