Reliability: 4

Fenerbahce have opened talks with representatives of Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan regarding a possible transfer. The contacts reportedly began at the request of Fenerbahçe head coach Jose Mourinho. Barcelona expect that the Turkish team will offer a large sum for the move of the 33-year-old footballer, whose agreement with the Catalans is valid until the summer of 2025 with the possibility of extension for one more year. It is unlikely that the Yellow Canaries will offer Barcelona the desired amount, as the German’s high salary could also be an obstacle.

Reliability: 4.5

Mundo Deportivo have reported that Deco recently put the wheels in motion for Barcelona to sign N’Golo Kanté on loan, but the operation was stopped by Hansi Flick. Flick prefers a younger profile to Kante, and he’s also betting on the players he already has at his disposal – including Marc Casado and Marc Bernal – for the time being. Kante could have been a smart signing for Barcelona, especially if he were to arrive on a favourable financial package.

Arsenal are continuing to progress in talks for Merino. As Matteo Moretto wrote on Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing, Merino has given his approval for a move to Arsenal, and personal terms have been agreed. In addition, Arsenal continue to make progress in their talks with the Txuri-Urdin too.

RB Leipzig are reportedly ready to let Dani Olmo go this month to rejoin Barcelona. The 26-year-old is now putting pressure on RB Leipzig to get a deal done with Barcelona and the Bundesliga side resigning to losing him. However, as talks continue to progress, the two clubs are no closer to agreeing a transfer package with RB Leipzig holding out for €60m. Barcelona are in the process of putting forward a structured deal but Olmo’s preference could push RB Leipzig towards a compromise.
Nico Williams transfer: update
Football España
Reliability: 4
The future of Nico Williams has been a major preseason focus for Athletic Club. On the back of scoring in the final of Spain’s Euro 2024 final win over England, speculation has risen on the 22-year-old, with Barcelona pushing hard to sign him. However, despite constant rumours of the Catalans closing in on a deal, the trail has gone cold for La Blaugrana. The date of August 12 is key for any lingering chance of Barcelona making a move as Williams returns to preseason training in Bilbao.
