Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid eye a cluster of market names

Arsenal, Real Madrid and Chelsea are linked to several moves, according to BBC Sport’s market roundup.

Arsenal: interest and a no-sale

The main thread for the Gunners is Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth). Football London reports Arsenal are keen on the 20-year-old France Under-21 forward, though Bournemouth would expect a hefty fee.

At the same time, BBC Sport adds that Arsenal have no intention of selling Martin Zubimendi in January, per Football Insider.

Real Madrid’s shopping list

For Real Madrid, Goal says the club are weighing up a move for Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), 24. The defender is also on the radar of multiple Premier League sides.

BBC Sport also points to Atlético’s case: Julián Álvarez is said to be considering leaving his long-time agent after a summer packed with transfer speculation, according to Mundo Deportivo, with Arsenal and Barcelona among the suitors.

Chelsea and the rest of the rumours

On the Chelsea front, Fichajes (in Spanish) claims the club want to explore a £69m deal for Nico Williams, the 24-year-old winger from Athletic Club.

Elsewhere, ESPN Brazil (via Caught Offside) states Liverpool would need to pay the full £130m release clause to sign Rayan (Bournemouth), even though manager Andoni Iraola knows the midfielder from his time at the club.

Finally, Teamtalk says both Real Madrid and Barcelona have made fresh enquiries about Cavan Sullivan, 16, who is set to join Manchester City when he turns 18, and Football Insider reports Everton are unlikely to pursue Richarlison despite links over the summer.
