- Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is emerging as a viable alternative for Barcelona if a move for Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez falls through, as reported by Sport. A €65 million release clause in the England international's contract has run out, but Bayern would be open to starting negotiations at €80 million. The 32-year-old would reportedly be interested in a move to Camp Nou and there have been inquiries with his representatives after Robert Lewandowski left as a free agent this summer.

- Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs keeping an eye on developments regarding Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, as reported by The Mirror. The 28-year-old's future is uncertain due to a breakdown in communication between the Red Devils and Barcelona, who have an option to sign him for €30 million after his loan, but now want to re-negotiate after signing Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon for an initial €70 million. However, Man United won't accept any change to the deal and are considering turning their backs on the Blaugrana.

- Manchester United and Arsenal have asked for information on AC Milan winger Rafael Leão, as reported by Nicolo Schira. The 26-year-old is ready to leave the Rossoneri during the summer transfer window, despite his contract running until 2028 and a release clause of €175 million, and he would like to play in the Premier League. Even so, no offers have been made to sign the Portugal international yet.

- Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have both reached out about a possible move for Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella, as reported by The Athletic. Real Madrid are also looking for a left back and like the 27-year-old, but it is unclear if they will make a move or have the finances to. Any Barca transfer would depend on another defender leaving Camp Nou, while Cucurella is high on Atlético's wishlist. The Spain international is willing to leave Stamford Bridge after a frustrating season where Chelsea finished 10th, but the Blues are relaxed because he has three years left on his contract.

- Real Madrid want to sign a right back this summer with Internazionale's Denzel Dumfries, Tottenham's Pedro Porro and Sporting CP's Iván Fresneda among those being looked at, reports Fabrizio Romano. Elsewhere, Sport has suggested that Dumfries, who has a €25 million release clause that activates in July, was also mentioned informally during a meeting between Barcelona and his agent Ali Barat, although the 30-year-old isn't a priority for the Blaugrana and a move would only be possible if Jules Koundé leaves. That is the case for any defensive signings due to Eric García's versatility.
