Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool eye cut-price Barcola deal, Arsenal blow, bid rejected for Man Utd target

Latest update in the Bradley Barcola saga: GiveMeSport’s Ben Jacobs reports that if PSG sign one or more new attackers this window, Liverpool expect them to be willing to sell the Frenchman for under €170m (£145m).

Jacobs reports the Reds are yet to put in a formal bid as they wait out in hope of a better price, while Arsenal have yet to make formal contact over the striker despite their interest.

Former Manchester United and Barcelona striker Memphis Depay has accused Corinthians of “unacceptable behaviour” after the club decided not to renew his contract.

The Netherlands international, who joined Corinthians on a two-year deal in 2024, said the Brazilian club had withdrawn a previously agreed contract extension.

He wrote on social media: “This renewal was explicitly agreed upon by the president as well as the sporting, legal and financial department. Some people decided however to breach this engagement.

“I didn’t want this situation and always respected the club throughout the process, but now I am forced to react strongly in order to preserve my interests.

“In the upcoming days I will speak publicly but rest assured that I will not leave this unacceptable behaviour unsanctioned.”

A club statement said that “taking on a new commitment of this magnitude would not be compatible with the financial balance we need to preserve to ensure the institution’s sustainability”, while admitting it was a “difficult decision”.

Speaking of Pep Chavarria… that signing has been confirmed this morning, with the left-back joining from Rayo Vallecano on a five-year deal.

He told the club: “I’m so excited to get started. This is a dream for me as Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world. It is a big opportunity but I am prepared and will work hard to help the team achieve success.

“There are a lot of people who have helped me get to this moment and I have to thank my family. They have always supported me and today is only possible because of them.”

Pete O’Rourke reports that Monaco have rejected a €50m offer from Crystal Palace for Lamine Camara.

The Senegal international is also a target for Man Utd and Chelsea.

The 22-year-old, who joined Monaco in 2024, would add extra depth to the United midfield as the hierarchy look for reinforcements in that area after the departure of Casemiro.

Spanish left-back Pep Chavarria is set to join Chelsea, with the club finally reaching an agreement with La Liga side Rayo Vallecano.

An initial £16.2m deal plus £1.7m in add-ons has been agreed, with the 28-year-old set for his medical.

Chelsea were keen for a left-sided defender to replace Marc Cucurella, with Chavarria their ninth signing of the summer.

Chelsea have confirmed the season-long loan of keeper Filip Jorgensen to sister club Strasbourg, in yet another move between the two sides.

The Dane’s opportunities have been limited in his two years at Stamford Bridge.

A club statement read: “Jorgensen was a key member of the Chelsea side that lifted the UEFA Conference League in May 2025, starting all but one game in the competition. The Denmark international became a Club World Cup winner later that summer.

“Jorgensen featured 12 times last season across four different competitions, playing his part as we reached the semi-finals of both domestic cups.

“We look forward to supporting Filip throughout his time in France.”

Spain star Ferran Torres is set to swap Barcelona for PSG, according to Fabrizio Romano.

He reports talks are in ‘final stages’ and that the winger is not scheduled to turn up for Barca training, with a deal expected to be finalised after PSG’s Super Cup meeting with Aston Villa tonight.

The Telegraph has reported both Chelsea and Man Utd have turned down moves for Arsenal teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly, who faces increased competition both in defence and midfield.

Lewis-Skelly is reportedly keen to fight for his place, while the Gunners value him in the region of £45m, which the Blues and Utd are not prepared to pay.
