   Xavi Hernández, the manager of Barcelona, met with midfielder Frenkie De Jong on Sunday in Las Vegas to talk about the player's future with the team, according to a report from Diario AS.

  According to the transfer guru himself, Fabrizio Romano, one of the most unpredictable tales of the summer transfer window has taken yet another unexpected turn as Barcelona are suddenly planning an official proposal to Sevilla to attempt to hijack their agreement with Chelsea for French center-back Jules Koundé.

After the financially troubled Spanish club sold another piece of their future television rights to the American investment company Sixth Street, Barcelona pulled their second "economic lever" of the summer.

  With the arrival of Djed Spence, Tottenham's success throughout the summer transfer window has continued. In order to bolster his squad in preparation for the 2022–23 season, Antonio Conte has already brought in Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, and Clement Lenglet.

  Armando Broja has received an upgraded offer from West Ham of £30 million plus add-ons, and the two parties are nearly in agreement on personal conditions.

  Bayern Munich and Juventus have verbally agreed that Matthijs de Ligt would cost €80 million (£68 million) to be their player. The German side will contribute an initial €70 million but may contribute an additional €10 million.

After departing Juventus earlier this summer, Paulo Dybala is scheduled to have a physical with Roma, according to The Athletic. To meet up with the group, the 28-year-old has travelled to Albufeira, Portugal, where Roma are on a preseason tour

  Robert Lewandowski's transfer from Bayern Munich to Barcelona is moving forward. The Athletic is aware that nothing has been finalised, but there is hope in the air over the possibility of the transfer.

  By signing a new, long-term deal with Bayern Munich, Serge Gnabry has put a stop to rumours about his future, according to The Athletic. Some of the top teams in Europe expressed interest in Gnabry, 27, but he chose to stay with Bayern. The signing of Gnabry's new contract is anticipated soon. His prior deal was set to end the following summer.

  Oleksandr Zinchenko's transfer from Manchester City to Arsenal is reportedly being negotiated, according to The Attic. This summer, the North London club signed Gabriel Jesus from the Premier League winners, and they are now working to sign his former teammate to the Emirates Stadium. The two organisations are in communication over a prospective transfer, and it is thought that City would approve the sale of the 25-year-old if their valuation was satisfied.

  Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea's head coach, has said that the club's objective this summer is not to add another forward. The purchase of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City on a five-year deal was finalised, the Blues announced on Wednesday night. But since Romelu Lukaku has already left Stamford Bridge and other offensively-minded players are rumoured to be leaving, the West Londoners have understandably been connected to prospective replacements.

Raheem Sterling has declared that he will leave Manchester City this summer in preparation for his rumoured transfer to Chelsea. Following a £50 million transfer price agreement between the Blues and the Citizens last weekend, the 27-year-old is reportedly ready to join Thomas Tuchel's team for their preseason tour of the United States. After spending seven trophy-filled years at the Etihad Stadium, Sterling has recently resorted to social media to say a tearful farewell to Man City fans.  

 Raphinha, a Leeds United forward, is allegedly scheduled to have his physical with Barcelona on Wednesday before finalising his €58 million (£49.2 million) transfer to Camp Nou. The 25-year-transfer old's to the Catalan giants is said to have been agreed upon at a sum with the Premier League team that may increase to €68 million (£57.7 million) with add-ons. Although Leeds accepted a proposal from Chelsea for Raphinha as well, Barca appears to have won the race for the Brazilian, who is now getting closer to completing his dream move to Catalonia.

Midfielder Rodri has extended his contract with Manchester City by three years, keeping him with the team through June 2027, according to the club's announcement. Since joining Pep Guardiola's squad from Atletico Madrid for £62.5 million in the summer of 2019, the 26-year-old Spain international has consistently been one of the first names on the team roster. For the Citizens, Rodri has made 151 games, starting 134 of them. He has won five trophies, including back-to-back Premier League championships. Rodri gave the following explanations for his decision to extend his contract in an interview with the club's official website: "The finest career choice I ever made was to join City in 2019. Here to stay! 🙌 We are delighted to confirm that Rodrigo has extended his contract until 2027! ✍️ #ManCity pic.twitter.com/aIuKzDD4sY — Manchester City (@ManCity) July 12, 2022 "I have enjoyed every minute. The love I've received from the supporters has been incredible...

  According to reports, Leeds United will accept Barcelona's offer to recruit Raphinha, an attacker, which may total €68 million (£57.7 million) with add-ons.   The 25-year-old has not travelled with the Whites on their preseason tour of Australia, and Chelsea, who purportedly accepted a £55 million deal at the end of last month, has been heavily connected with him. Raphinha, though, has been stalling for a transfer to Camp Nou all summer, and it now appears that Barcelona has made a bid for the Brazil international.
