Arsenal look to hijack Liverpool's pursuit of Barcola from PSG

Arsenal could jump into the race for Bradley Barcola after losing out on Vinicius Jr to Real Madrid, according to *The Sun*. With the Brazilian's contract extension now sealed, Mikel Arteta has three left-wing targets in his sights: the PSG star, Julián Álvarez and Iliman Ndiaye, as reported by *The Independent*.

As we reported yesterday, talks between Liverpool and PSG over Barcola remain ongoing but the clubs are far apart on valuation — the Reds are offering around £115m while PSG demand £145m. Should Arsenal enter the bidding war, negotiations would become even more complicated for all parties involved.

Elsewhere in the market, Barcelona have lodged a £38.5m bid for Rodri at Manchester City, who are refusing to entertain any offer below £60m. The City boss Pep Guardiola's side, meanwhile, are exploring a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, per *The Independent*.
