Manchester City are exploring a potential move for Chelsea's Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 25, as reports indicate that Spain midfielder Rodri, 30, is expected to leave the club for Barcelona.

In the striking department, Arsenal and Manchester United could find themselves in a bidding war for Pio Esposito. The 21-year-old Italy international is valued at £73 million by Inter Milan, according to The Sun.

Barcola at the centre of Premier League interest

Liverpool have opened preliminary discussions with Paris St-Germain over a deal for France forward Bradley Barcola, 23, though a considerable gap remains between what the clubs believe the winger is worth.

Barcola is also among three alternative targets for Arsenal, who failed to land Real Madrid's Brazil forward Vinicius Jr, 26. The Gunners are additionally monitoring Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, 26, and Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, 26 — the Senegal winger who has impressed in the Premier League.

Hall stays, Konsa saga deepens

Newcastle have rebuffed an initial approach from Manchester United for left-back Lewis Hall, making clear that the 21-year-old England international is not available for transfer this summer.

At Aston Villa, teammates of defender Ezri Konsa are growing increasingly resigned to losing the 28-year-old England international, with Arsenal understood to be leading the chase for his signature.

More moves across the Premier League

Arsenal have registered interest in Tottenham's Argentina centre-back Cristian Romero, 28, though Spurs are firmly opposed to selling him to their north London rivals.

Newcastle are monitoring Marseille's Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, 31, as manager Matthias Jaissle looks to reshape his squad. Jaissle is also weighing up the future of winger Jacob Murphy, 31, with Everton reportedly keen on the Englishman.

In Italy, Napoli are exploring a loan deal for Chelsea's France centre-back Benoit Badiashile, 25, while also targeting Arsenal's Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus, 29, to strengthen their attack.
