Latest transfer news today: Man City plot £100m Spurs hijack as Liverpool handed winger boost

As the 2026 World Cup knockout drama continues across North America, Premier League clubs are wasting no time in driving their summer business forward.

With another wave of significant updates emerging, Football Whispers brings you the latest.

Man City could hijack Spurs move for Sandro Tonali

Manchester City clearly mean business this summer, targeting another major midfield arrival after the record signing of Elliot Anderson.

Reports suggest that the Citizens, now officially led by new boss Enzo Maresca, are ‘ready' to hijack Tottenham Hotspur's move for Sandro Tonali.

Anderson will become the most expensive English player ever once his transfer to the Etihad is confirmed, and City are thought to be prepared to spend another £100 million‑plus on the Italian.

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United will sanction an exit this off‑season, especially given the growing interest across their squad.

Arsenal told to pay record fee for Morgan Rogers

That aforementioned move for Anderson has impacted Arsenal and their plans to bolster Mikel Arteta’s title‑winning squad.

The Telegraph reveal a new twist, with Aston Villa now raising their asking price for Gunners' top target Morgan Rogers this summer.

It’s believed the Midlands outfit will demand a fee in the region of £130 million, reflecting the 23‑year‑old’s rise and growing stature as a fellow England regular under Thomas Tuchel.

With Arteta thought to be personally pushing to sign the versatile attacking midfielder, it may be a price the north Londoners ultimately pay, but only time will tell.

Liverpool handed Bradley Barcola boost

Meanwhile, on Merseyside, the news hasn’t been encouraging, with priority target Yan Diomande set to snub Liverpool for Paris Saint‑Germain after the World Cup.

But that could now work in their favour, with reports suggesting the Reds have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of an alternative.

Bradley Barcola is expected to leave PSG and tops a new six‑man shortlist at Anfield; moreover, the club have spoken to the 23‑year‑old’s agents in recent days and learned of his desire to move on.

The Ligue 1 champions value the France international at around £100 million, so he will not come cheap, though FSG are said to be prepared to back Andoni Iraola this summer.
