Welcome to Mirror Football's transfer news live blog on Sunday, July 26.

Arsenal are exploring a move for Vinicius Junior after receiving approval from the club's hierarchy, as first reported by The Athletic. Talks with Real Madrid have yet to take place, but The Telegraph claims that their new head coach, Jose Mourinho, would oppose the move.

Madrid, meanwhile, have verbally agreed on personal terms with Yan Diomande, according to Sky Germany. Paris Saint-Germain also reportedly reached a deal with him last month, but the Spanish side are now said to be in pole position.

Over in Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Manchester United are offering Marcus Rashford to Roma in an attempt to reduce the transfer fee for Manu Kone. However, the sports newspaper describes any deal as unlikely due to the player's £325,000-a-week wages.

Inter sporting director confirms Cristian Romero transfer interest

Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has confirmed that the club are interested in Cristian Romero.

Their long-time transfer chief told Sky Italia:

There is certainly an interest that we are showing in the player and the club. These are long things, but there is certainly interest; let's see.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to have held talks with the Serie A side about their player this summer. They did so during discussions over Djed Spence, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Barcelona are also credited with an interest in the Argentina international. However, they will apparently only be in the market for a defender if one leaves.

Bruno Guimaraes update on Arsenal and Newcastle contact plan

Arsenal are set to contact Newcastle United about Bruno Guimaraes next week, according to Fabrizio Romano.

It is anticipated that a new approach will proceed, with the expectation that a £70million proposal will be improved upon. Romano describes next week as an important one of new contact and a crucial moment for their negotiations.

The Gunners have already agreed personal terms with the Brazil international, who is keen on joining the Premier League champions. Mikel Arteta is said to consider Guimaraes a perfect midfielder to improve the Gunners this summer, and would assumedly partner Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Juventus boss claims Emiliano Martinez 'wants to change teams'

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti claims that Emiliano Martinez wants to leave Aston Villa.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Italian told them:

Dibu Martinez? He is a goalkeeper who wants to change teams, and we are looking for competitiveness, but at the moment, we have two goalkeepers.

Spaletti refers to Mattia Perin and Michele Di Gregorio, but the Serie A side continue to be credited with several Premier League shot-stoppers. Liverpool's Alisson and Guglielmo Vicario have been linked with a transfer to Turin this summer, with Villa's goalkeeper the latest name mentioned as potentially being on the move.

Florentino Perez sets Real Madrid asking price for Vinicius Junior

Real Madrid will only begin negotiations to sell Vinicius Junior if they receive an offer worth at least £136million, according to SPORT.

That amount is said to be non-negotiable, with club president Florentino Perez not even willing to begin talks for anything less. Their asking price, however, reportedly could include any add-ons, so the initial outlay this summer could be lower and offset over the coming years.

They have seemingly set his valuation so high to put off any opportunistic approaches for a player in the final 12 months of his contract. It is acknowledged that Madrid may be open to offers if talks over a renewal do not progress before the start of August.

Arsenal agree deal after medical already completed for transfer

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Axel Donczew, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 16-year-old is said to have already completed a medical. The Telegraph's Sam Dean first reported their strong interest earlier this month, saying at the time that Cardiff City's youngest-ever player would initially join Arsenal's academy setup.

Fulham have also been credited with an interest in Donczew, who is already a Wales under-19 international. A right-footed winger, who can also play in a central attacking midfield role, is also eligible to play for Poland, but the Dragons' head coach Craig Bellamy is said to really like him.

Yan Diomande deal as a second club have agreed personal terms

Real Madrid have become the second club to reach a verbal agreement with Yan Diomande, according to Sky Germany.

Paris Saint-Germain are also said to have agreed personal terms with the Ivory Coast international last month. However, they have yet to make an offer verbally to RB Leipzig for Diomande, unlike Madrid, who had a £85million bid turned down last week.

Liverpool also did likewise weeks ago, with Manchester City also making their interest known more recently. Madrid, meanwhile, appear to be the frontrunners and are reportedly working intensively to reach an agreement with Diomande's club after making new contact.

Manu Kone move as United offer Marcus Rashford to Roma

Manchester United have offered Marcus Rashford to Roma in their pursuit of Manu Kone, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

United are reportedly trying to reduce the £50million asking price by proposing that the England international moves to Italy's capital. It is said that his inclusion could be key to a deal, but it appears a loan move would be necessary for Roma financially.

The sports newspaper claims that United would have to cover a large part of his £325,000-a-week wages as part of the deal. As such, they describe the inclusion of Rashford in Kone's transfer as quite unlikely.

Vinicius Junior to Arsenal latest as Real Madrid stance clear

Jose Mourinho would oppose Vinicius Junior leaving Real Madrid this summer, according to The Telegraph.

Arsenal are exploring a deal for the Brazil international, as first reported by The Athletic. The Gunners are said to have approval from their hierarchy to pursue a move, but club-to-club talks have yet to take place.

Mourinho, however, has reportedly made clear after returning to the Spanish capital that he wants them to keep Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius for this coming season. Madrid are also credited with an interest in signing Rodri and Yan Diomande, the latter of whom could replace the Brazilian.
