insider Transfer News: Barcola to Arsenal truth, Liverpool agreement, Alvarez latest
Football news expert insider has provided an update on several major transfer stories, including the latest on Bradley Barcola, and .
Arsenal working on Christos Tzolis transfer
have already signed Piero Hincapie and Illan Meslier so far this summer and a deal is now in place for Christos Tzolis to become their next addition ahead of the 2026-27 season, as confirmed by Romano.
He told his YouTube channel: “Don't forget that Arsenal and Mikel Arteta are negotiating a new contract. The contract extension for Arteta, with a new deal, is expected to become a reality over the next few months. At the same time, Arsenal are working to bring in new players.
“Leandro Trossard has left to join Besiktas for €18 million plus €2 million in add-ons and I told you that with Trossard leaving, Tzolis was the player Arsenal wanted. It is now a ‘here we go’. The agreement is done on a €40m deal. This is the transfer fee Arsenal will pay to Club Brugge.
“Basically, there was almost no negotiation because the asking price was always €40m. Club Brugge did not want to negotiate, and Arsenal decided to pay the full asking price. This was also because two clubs, one in Italy and one in Germany, tried to enter the race over the last two or three weeks. They wanted to understand whether Arsenal were moving too slowly for Tzolis and whether they could sign the player instead.
“The final decision, however, was always very clear. The player told every interested club, ‘I'm sorry, thank you, but I only want to go to Arsenal.’ Now the deal is in place. He will sign a long-term contract in the coming days, with his medical and contract signing already scheduled. Arsenal have their new winger from Club Brugge.”
Bradley Barcola and Morgan Rogers to Arsenal truth
Despite finalising an agreement for Tzolis, Arsenal remain interested in additional attacking reinforcements and they have been heavily linked with Bradley Barcola and Morgan Rogers in recent weeks.
“Arsenal are not finished at all,” Romano confirmed. “They will continue to be very busy in the market. We have to see what happens with William Saliba because the injury appears to be quite serious. In midfield, we already know they want to strengthen, and it is also important to mention the situation regarding another winger.
“I maintain my information. I know there have been many reports linking Arsenal with Bradley Barcola. It is a strange situation because, for several weeks, the reports suggested Barcola was not available. Then suddenly the reports switched to Barcola and Arsenal, while nobody was mentioning Barcola and . Liverpool remain very interested in Bradley Barcola.
“At the moment, Arsenal are not negotiating for Bradley Barcola. There are no active talks. From my information, the player Arsenal still want to add as their new winger is Morgan Rogers.
“Discussions with the player are already at an advanced stage. There are no significant issues regarding the contract, and the personal terms are almost fully agreed. Only a few details remain to be clarified before Arsenal are ready to move and begin club-to-club negotiations for Morgan Rogers.
“After completing the deal for Christos Tzolis, Morgan Rogers is expected to become Arsenal's next major target.”
Bradley Barcola future
While Arsenal aren’t in talks over a deal for Barcola, he could still be set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, although an extended spell at the Parc des Princes may also be on the cards.
“I told you in the last video that now the World Cup is over, Bradley Barcola's situation will become one to watch,” Romano said. “From next week, Barcola will meet with his representatives. His agents will also speak with PSG, but Barcola is not currently negotiating a new contract with the French club.
“An exit is possible, but only if a very significant offer arrives. It has to be a major proposal. So yes, a transfer is possible, but it is not guaranteed unless a club comes forward with serious money. Liverpool are fully aware of the situation and remain interested in the player. We will have to see how this develops over the coming weeks.”
Dominik Szoboszlai signs new Liverpool contract
Liverpool have signed Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet so far this summer, but their best piece of business may prove to be tying Dominik Szoboszlai down to a new long-term deal.
