Latest transfer news today: Arsenal eye record-breaking signing as Liverpool learn Bradley Barcola price

A new week brings fresh rumours as Premier League clubs continue shaping their squads, and the transfer mill shows no sign of slowing down.

With that in mind, Football Whispers takes a look at the standout stories dominating today’s backpages.

Liverpool learn Bradley Barcola asking price

Liverpool have received a boost in their pursuit of Bradley Barcola in recent days, and they now have a clearer idea of his asking price.

The 23-year-old is believed to have turned down a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain, opening the door to a possible summer exit, though the Ligue 1 champions are unwilling to let him leave for a modest fee.

Reports suggest they are seeking around £145 million for his signature, with Premier League rivals Arsenal also interested in the France international.

Able to operate on either flank, Barcola is one of the standout wingers potentially available this window, but it remains to be seen whether any club will meet such a hefty valuation.

Arsenal plot record-breaking Vinicius Jr deal

One of the biggest shocks of the window could come in north London, with Arsenal pushing ahead on a move for Vinicius Jr.

According to reports, the Gunners are prepared to make the Brazil star the highest‑paid player in the club’s history in an effort to lure him to the Emirates Stadium.

Although the Premier League champions have yet to submit an official bid, it’s understood Real Madrid would demand at least £135 million for his signature.

Vinicius is thought to earn around £400,000-per-week, meaning Arsenal would be willing – and able – to offer an improved package this summer.

Tottenham favourites to sign Savinho

Tottenham Hotspur remain at the front of the queue to sign Manchester City winger Savinho.

The north London club are in advanced negotiations for the 22‑year‑old, with Roberto De Zerbi said to be drawn to his pace and creativity, per emerging reports.

It’s also claimed that Serie A giants AC Milan are in the race for the Brazilian as a potential replacement for Rafael Leao.

City are yet to receive a formal offer from Spurs, but it would be a surprise if Savinho hadn’t completed a move before the window closes on September 1st.
