Bayern Munich lodges second £69m bid as Luis Díaz nears Liverpool exit

Bayern Munich has reignited its pursuit of Liverpool winger Luis Díaz with a second bid worth around £69 million ($93 million), according to Sky Sports. After rejecting an initial $79 million approach on July 2, Liverpool have softened their stance and are now in direct, advanced talks with the German champions over Díaz’s sale.

Key points:

Liverpool omitted Díaz from their friendly against AC Milan amid transfer speculation.

The 28-year-old has two years remaining on his contract and was internally valued at $117 million.

Sale proceeds could help fund moves for Alexander Isak and others.

Chelsea Seal £44m João Félix Transfer to Al Nassr

Chelsea have struck a deal to offload João Félix to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in a move that could see the Blues recover up to £44 million. Fabrizio Romano reports an initial payment (around £26.2 million) plus add-ons and a heavy sell-on clause will meet the valuation.

• Félix joined Chelsea last summer from Atlético Madrid for £45 million but struggled under Enzo Maresca.
• A loan spell at AC Milan yielded £5 million but no permanent move.

This exit clears room in the squad and is expected to accelerate Chelsea’s pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons.

Stubborn Ambition Poises Gyökeres for Arsenal Impact

Viktor Gyökeres has inked a deal with Arsenal after netting 97 goals in 102 outings for Sporting CP. The Sweden international’s journey from Brighton prospect—where he pushed for loan moves rather than settle as a fourth-choice striker—to Championship star and two-time Portuguese champion underscores his relentless drive.

Key points:

Loan spells at Swansea (1 goal/12 apps) and Coventry (3 goals in half-season) saw him fight for game time.

Became one of the Championship’s most feared finishers with 43 goals in 116 Coventry matches.

At Sporting, added two league titles, 26 assists and Champions League goals to his CV.

Former coach Bjorn Hamberg cites Gyökeres’ “stubborn” work ethic, physicality and directness as traits that should translate seamlessly to the Premier League.

Arsenal and Newcastle Set for Singapore Showdown Without Key Strikers

Arsenal and Newcastle United meet at Singapore’s National Stadium on Sunday as part of their summer tours, with kick-off at 7:30 p.m. local time. Arsenal arrive on the back of a 1-0 win over AC Milan, while Newcastle are looking to bounce back from a 4-0 loss to Celtic.

Both sides will be missing headline forwards: new signing Viktor Gyökeres, still completing his move from Sporting CP, will not play for Arsenal, and Alexander Isak is sidelined with a thigh issue amid transfer speculation. Managers Mikel Arteta and Eddie Howe will use the fixture to blood summer recruits and sharpen their lineups ahead of the 2025–26 Premier League campaign.

Chelsea Demand Record £250m for Cole Palmer After Rejecting Man City’s £149m Bid
