FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 3 July, including the latest updates on Crysencio Summerville, Vinicius Junior and Eli Kroupi Junior.
Arsenal want Konsa
Arsenal have registered a ‘tentative interest’ in Ezri Konsa, the Aston Villa teammate of their top target Morgan Rogers.
Villa value Rogers at more than €150 million and do not want to sell their star man but they could now face interest in Konsa from Arsenal, according to The Telegraph.
It is claimed that Mikel Arteta is the driving force behind Arsenal’s interest as he seeks an upgrade on Ben White, with Konsa also able to play right-back as well as centre-back.
Konsa has two years remaining on his contract and Villa are thought to value him at £60m (€70m), which is more than the Gunners would like to pay, although the 28-year-old’s sale may be considered in order to raise funds and keep hold of Rogers instead.
Man Utd open Summerville talks
Manchester United have opened talks to sign Crysencio Summerville, according to Ben Jacobs.
United are said to have initiated club-to-club contact with West Ham, although the purpose is said to be purely ‘exploratory’ at this stage.
Summerville is high in United’s thoughts but a deal could be contingent on Marcus Rashford being sold, with the Red Devils likely to be focused on signing midfielders until then.
West Ham are believed to value Summerville at around €50 million, although they may choose to raise their price after the 24-year-old grabbed two goals and two assists at the 2026 World Cup with the Netherlands.
Tottenham eye Kroupi signing
Tottenham are hoping to beat Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of Bournemouth wonderkid Eli Kroupi Junior after he emerged as one of their top targets this summer.
Having signed Mateus Fernandes and agreed a deal with Newcastle for Sandro Tonali, Spurs are continuing to look for ways to revamp their squad and splash the cash, leading to interest in Kroupi.
Accoridng to the Independent, Spurs are willing to spend big again to sign Kroupi in time for their return to pre-season training and are open to meeting Bournemouth’s price tag of around €100m.
Spurs have also considered moves for Savinho, Rafael Leao and James Trafford this summer as they pursue one of the biggest windows of spending in Premier League history.
Bayern Munich explore Vinicius Junior deal
Bayern Munich could explore a move to sign Vinicius Junior this summer with the Real Madrid star still yet to sign a new contract despite entering the final year of his deal.
According to transfer reporter Ekrem Konur, contract talks have stalled with Vini Jr and Madrid are now open to selling the Brazilian to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer.
Vinicius is said to want a contract with a salary equal to or higher than Kylian Mbappe – something which Real Madrid have rejected.
Discussions are expected to be held after Vinicius’ participation at the 2026 World Cup, although a new contract could still be agreed with Real Madrid, with president Florentino Perez ‘unhappy’ at the situation.
