Multiple Premier League Clubs Increase Transfer Interest in European Stars

Several Premier League and European clubs are actively pursuing new signings ahead of the transfer window. Liverpool are interested in Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen and are also monitoring Bayer Leverkusen's target, their £40 million-rated centre-back Jarell Quansah. PSG have firmly stated that 22-year-old forward Bradley Barcola will not be leaving despite interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich. Manchester United are planning a potential £85 million move for French forward Hugo Ekitike, while Arsenal are exploring transfers for Nico Williams and Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, although Williams may join Bayern Munich after his release clause was met. Additional moves include Newcastle's interest in Brighton's Joao Pedro, Tottenham's plans to recruit Brentford players Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, and Galatasaray's approach to Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan. Meanwhile, veteran Luka Modric has postponed a move to AC Milan to participate in the Club World Cup with Real Madrid.
