Arsenal is exploring new transfer options after Morgan Rogers committed to Chelsea. The Gunners are now reportedly interested in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, who has attracted attention from Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Atletico remains firm on keeping him. Additionally, Arsenal aims to secure Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, facing competition from Manchester City, though Lille prefers to retain the teenager for another season. Meanwhile, Tottenham's Cristian Romero, Djed Spence, and Richarlison are targets for Inter Milan and Juventus, who are pursuing a joint deal for the trio. Rafael Leao seeks to leave AC Milan, as Aston Villa considers a move for him alongside other targets like Jonathan Rowe from Bologna, valued at €40m.
