Arsenal transfer news LIVE with Calafiori latest and Neto ‘talks’

According to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Arsenal don’t want to offload Aaron Ramsdale this summer. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has faced an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium for a while now following the arrival of David Raya.

The report states that ‘all options remain open’, with Ramsdale eager to play regular first-team football. It’s said that a loan ‘cannot be ruled out’. He sees his contract with the Gunners expire in two years, plus the option for a further year…

Arsenal could face a battle to keep William Saliba at the club – but not until next year, according to latest reports.

GIVEMESPORT claim that Real Madrid are showing an interest in the French international, but won’t make their move until the end of the upcoming season.

This summer, Madrid are expected to concentrate on seucring the services of Lille defender Leny Yoro.

Saliba is currently in Germany representing France in Euro 2024. He has been a standout performer for Les Bleus as they booked their spot in the semi-final on Friday night.

Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Barcelona over a potential deal involving Eddie Nketiah.

Reports in Spain, via TEAMtalk, claim that Edu has been in contact with Barcelona with a cash-plus-player bid for Raphina. The bid is claimed to be worth around €35 million (£30m) plus Nketiah.

Barcelona value Raphina at around €80 million (£67.8m). It is added that Arteta has become ‘obsessed’ with the idea of signing the player this season, making him one of the club’s top targets.
