Latest transfer news today: Man Utd eye £35m star as Arsenal ‘explore’ shock Gabriel Martinelli swap deal

The summer transfer window is showing zero signs of calming down, with deals continuing to move at pace, whispers are growing louder, and several Premier League clubs are right in the thick of it.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest stories today.

Man Utd want Newcastle's defender Lewis Hall

Manchester United are interested in signing Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall this summer.

That's according to new reports, which claim the Red Devils are lining up a ‘surprise' move for the 21‑year‑old and believe his omission from the World Cup squad has strengthened their chances.

Thomas Tuchel opted against selecting the Magpies defender despite a strong season at St James’ Park, leaving Hall frustrated and increasingly open to a switch to Old Trafford.

It remains unclear what fee he would command or whether Newcastle would sanction a sale just three years after signing him from Chelsea for £35 million.

Man City's Josko Gvardiol emerges as Real Madrid target

Real Madrid have officially appointed Jose Mourinho as their next manager and are already pushing ahead with a move for Bernardo Silva on a free transfer.

He may not be the only Manchester City player heading to the Bernabeu, with fresh reports suggesting Josko Gvardiol sits high on the Portuguese's shortlist.

Mourinho is keen to bring in the versatile 24‑year‑old to reinforce his defence, and Gvardiol is believed to be preferred over Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori.

Madrid also view the Croatian as attainable, though far from cheap, having cost City £78 million when he arrived in 2023.

Arsenal explore Marcus Rashford swap deal

In what would be one of the shocks of the summer, Arsenal are reportedly ‘exploring' a swap deal involving Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford.

The England forward’s future is uncertain after Barcelona opted against triggering their option to sign him permanently, opening the door for Mikel Arteta and the Gunners.

Reports suggest the Premier League champions could consider including Gabriel Martinelli in a deal for the 28‑year‑old, with the Brazilian also facing an unclear future at the Emirates.

Whether such a swap is realistic remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt it’s a move that could appeal to both clubs, surprising as it may be.
