Real Madrid will need to make a decision between Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo this summer, according to recent reports. The Spanish giants may be forced to choose between their Brazilian stars as questions arise about whether all their big-name players can operate together effectively.
According to Diario Sport, numerous Premier League clubs are eager to make Rodrygo their standout player, a status he hasn't fully achieved at Madrid. Meanwhile, Vinícius Júnior is reportedly seeking a contract in line with Kylian Mbappé's amid continued interest from the Saudi Pro League.
This potential shake-up at Real Madrid comes amid other significant transfer developments across European football. Juventus, following their decision to sack Thiago Motta and hire Igor Tudor as interim head coach, are hoping the new manager can showcase striker Dusan Vlahovic to potential buyers. Calciomercato reports that Manchester United and Arsenal are among those interested in the 25-year-old Serbian forward.
The Italian giants are also eyeing potential replacements, with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli looking to make Randal Kolo Muani's loan from Paris Saint-Germain permanent and potentially sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms Juventus' interest in Osimhen, who continues to impress during his loan spell at Galatasaray.
In other news, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly interested in AFC Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old recently helped Spain beat the Netherlands on penalties in the UEFA Nations League after choosing to represent La Roja over the Dutch national team.
Liverpool are reportedly targeting Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni as a long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk, though they'll need to spend over £60 million to secure the 25-year-old Italian international. Inter are reluctant to let go of their defensive stalwart.
Manchester United appear to be leading the race for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres despite competition from Arsenal and Liverpool. Football Insider claims that the Swedish forward's close relationship with head coach Ruben Amorim from their time together at Sporting could be a decisive factor, even with the Red Devils unlikely to offer European football next season.
Atlético Madrid are showing interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, having made initial contact with the Uruguay international's representatives according to Relevo. However, these discussions are still in early stages with no formal negotiations yet underway for the 27-year-old.
As the summer transfer window approaches, these developing stories highlight the potential for significant movement among Europe's top clubs and players.
