Here is your Arsenal transfer roundup on Saturday, July 8.
Kylian Mbappe ‘secret agreement’
Ligue 1 champions PSG believe that forward Kylian Mbappe has a “secret agreement” with Real Madrid over a potential transfer in the coming year. That’s according to Sky Sports, which reports that the Frenchman could make the switch to Los Blancos in 2024 on a free deal.
Mbappe has been given an ultimatum by PSG to sign a new contract or leave this summer though, having rejected the chance to trigger a one-year contract extension on his deal, leaving just 12-months remaining. Arsenal have also been linked with a potential switch for the World Cup winner, with other claims that his preference is the Gunners.
Arsenal have completed the medical of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber ahead of a huge switch to north London this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Dutch international is readying a move to the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth up to roughly £40million as the second deal of the summer.
Declan Rice also looks set to follow the versatile defender, with his medical at London Colney also booked, with an announcement expected soon.
Manchester City set Aymeric Laporte price
Manchester City have set an asking price of €30million (£25.5million) on defender Aymeric Laporte this summer, according to TuttoJuve. The Spanish international has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Tottenham and Juventus in the transfer window, having struggled for game time last season.
