Newcastle signing wanted by Premier League giants

Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Bazoumana Toure just months after the young winger joined Newcastle.

Toure signed for the Magpies in the summer for a fee of €50 million but he has yet to make his first Premier League start for the club, having only played 127 minutes in all competitions.

Despite his lack of game time, the 20-year-old has scored twice and proven lively in his limited minutes, leading CaughtOffside to claim that United and Arsenal, who were monitoring Toure before he joined Newcastle, to still have an interest in the Ivorian.

Tottenham and Aston Villa have also been credited with an interest but Newcastle still see Toure as an important long-term part of their project, having tied him to a contract until 2031.

Liverpool 'serious contenders' for Mora

Liverpool are now regarded as ‘serious contenders’ to sign Gilberto Mora after stepping up their pursuit of the Mexican wonderkid.

Mora has emerged as a target for some of Europe’s elite sides after an impressive rise to stardom which saw the midfielder feature regularly for Mexico at the 2026 World Cup.

Having turned 18 this week, Mora is able to join Premier League sides ans TEAMtalk report that Liverpool have made fresh contact for the Club Tijuana youngster, although they face competition from the likes of Arsenal, Dortmund and Benfica.

Tijuana are hoping to command a fee in excess of €30m for Mora and the team that puts in the best offer will likely win the race for the teenager, with Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and others all still in the picture.

Bayern Munich hold Wirtz talks

Bayern Munich have had internal discussions over the realistic prospects of signing Florian Wirtz after the midfielder’s tough start to life at Liverpool.

Wirtz has yet to find form for the Reds since joining them last summer for a €125m fee and this has led to Bayern maintaining close tabs on the situation, according to TEAMtalk, although conversations are currently just exploratory rather than official.

Bayern are said to be assessing squad balance, wage structures and the financial commitment required, given the size of the fee Liverpool paid.

There is an acknowledgement that any approach would face significant obstacles, particularly with Liverpool determined to see Wirtz succeed and no discussions being held at Anfield over his departure.

Arsenal and Chelsea battle for Messi-approved wonderkid

Arsenal and Chelsea are among the sides interested in signing Boca Juniors wonderkid Tomas Aranda, who has an appealing release clause in his contract.

Aranda has been a breakout star for Boca and recently was praised by Lionel Messi to be one of the best young players in the world, leading to interest from the Premier League duo along with Napoli.

According to El Intransigente, Aranda has a release clause of around €20m and Boca are desperate to keep hold of the 19-year-old unless that buyout is met.

Aranda made his debut for the Argentina national team in June and the midfielder has played 32 official matches in various competitions, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
