If Real Madrid wants to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, it is likely too late, with Arsenal in pole position to sign the Spanish international. With Xabi Alonso incoming, there is a slight chance of a hijack if he wants the player, but it looks unlikely. - Ben Jacobs

Newcastle United are the latest club to be interested in signing Rodrygo. The Magpies, who secured Champions League football again, are reportedly ready to offer $91 million (€80 million) for the Brazilian forward, who is said to be unhappy in Spain. - Fichajes
