Real Madrid’s loss to be Arsenal’s gain
Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the current status of Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler, with the Gunners considering making a move for the 20-year-old.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Mikel Arteta’s men are set to be handed a major transfer boost, with Guler expected to drop to the Real Madrid bench following the return of Bellingham.
The Englishman has been gradually returning to the pitch following his injury, while Guler marked his arrival on the global stage by performing brilliantly for Los Blancos over recent weeks.
The report suggests that Guler may be tempted to move away from the Spanish capital should he return to the substitutes' bench in order to make room for Bellingham. Manager Xabi Alonso has a difficult situation on his hands, while Arsenal keep close tabs on a forward who is currently valued at just under £40m by Transfermarkt.
Liverpool linked with Dayot Upamecano
Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano is the latest player to be linked with a move to Liverpool, with Spanish outlet Fichajes reporting that the player is on the radar of the Anfield club.
Despite making a host of changes over the summer transfer window, the club remain a little short in the defensive department, with Giovanni Leoni ruled out for up to a year with an ACL problem.
🚨 Bayern director Max Eberl: “I'm not surprised that many clubs are interested in Dayot Upamecano… and we are also interested in extending his contract”.

On top of that, Ibrahima Konate has been linked with a shock Anfield exit, while the transfer of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi fell through on the final day of the window.
Upamecano has made over 150 appearances for Bayern Munich since joining the club from RB Leipzig in 2021. The defender also boasts 32 international caps, helping France to UEFA Nations League gold and the World Cup final in 2022.
Chelsea looking to ruin Real Madrid’s plans
Chelsea are ready to table a £70m offer for Real Madrid target and Como playmaker Nico Paz, according to a report by CaughtOffside.
The Blues are hoping to snatch the Argentine prospect away from Los Blancos, with the 21-year-old impressing in his first Serie A season.
However, Paz previously played for Real Madrid, and the Spanish outfit have matching rights for the playmaker after allowing him to join Como last year for €6m.
On top of this, the La Liga giants have a 50% sell-on clause, and, more importantly, they have a buy-back clause for just under £9m. This complicates the situation for Chelsea, who will need to play their cards right if they are to get their hands on a potential future ‘Galactico’.
