Barcelona lead Monday’s transfer buzz with Thomas Partey talks
Barcelona are in talks to sign Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey on a free transfer when his contract ends this June 2025. Liverpool plans to bid for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, who is valued at over £40m and has already agreed to join.
Liverpool also failed in two offers for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and may offer Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah in return. Chelsea are close to signing striker Liam Delap from Ipswich for £30m, with part of his medical already done. Everton are showing interest in Brighton’s Matt O'Riley but are unsure if the club will sell him.
Bayer Leverkusen agreed to sign Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken for £8.43m. Brentford will replace him with Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher for a fee starting at £12.5m. Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi will decide if he will join Al-Hilal.
