insider Transfer News: Gyokeres to Barcelona, Man Utd 'fake news', Leao update Make us your Google favourite Football news expert insider has provided an update on several major transfer stories, including the latest on Viktor Gyokeres, Gavi and Rafael Leao. Viktor Gyokeres to Barcelona? Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a sensational move to Barcelona in recent days, but Romano has poured cold water on such rumours in his latest YouTube video . “There were many reports in Spain in the last 24 hours that Viktor Gyokeres might be the right man for Barcelona if they can't get Julian Alvarez. “There is no confirmation of any operation for Gyokeres starting. There is nothing really concrete ongoing, no conversations, no negotiations, no discussions. “Then, should anything change, I will let you know. But at the moment, the feeling at Arsenal is that Viktor Gyokeres is going to stay, that Mikel Arteta is happy with Viktor Gyokeres. Arteta believes Arsenal need a player like Viktor Gyokeres in the squad for his skills. “Last season, he was still scoring a lot of goals. And also, not just in terms of numbers, in terms of contribution, Arsenal are convinced that the second season in the Premier League is going to be different. So Arsenal are very optimistic about Gyokeres. “Then, if Barcelona arrive and the click happens, I will let you know, but that's not the case for today. So at the moment, the situation of Viktor Gyokeres is absolutely, absolutely quiet.” Harry Kane contract talks Harry Kane has been tipped to leave Bayern Munich on several occasions in recent months, but the England captain has now initiated contract extension talks with Vincent Kompany’s side. “The conversation between Bayern Munich and Harry Kane's camp over a new contract has already started behind the scenes,” Romano said. “Remember that Kane is represented by his brother Charlie, who is taking care of these conversations, and my understanding is that Bayern have started the process. “There are negotiations ongoing. There are discussions ongoing. There is optimism to reach an agreement for Kane to stay at the club, to extend his stay at the club. The current contract is expiring in 2027. They still have to discuss details of this new contract in terms of the length of the contract, in terms of the existence of an exit clause, for example. There was a clause to be activated in January, not in the summer, a specific clause in the previous contract and in the current contract of Kane at Bayern. “So they have to discuss what to do with that clause. There were some kind of matching rights for Tottenham. We have to understand what's going to happen there, if Bayern will maintain that kind of option or not. So there are several things to discuss in order to get the deal done, but the conversation is ongoing between Bayern and Kane. Now the player is back from holidays, and so the conversation can be easier and faster.” Gavi to Man Utd ‘fake news’ Manchester United have been linked with a shock move for Barcelona midfielder Gavi, however Romano has branded such claims as ‘fake news’. “Many of you sent me Gavi to Man Utd. Absolutely fake news. I don't know where this is coming from. Many of you sent me on Twitter, but Gavi is not leaving Barcelona. Absolutely impossible,” Romano revealed. “Barcelona are more than happy with Gavi. I would not be surprised if in the next months Gavi and Barcelona start discussing a new contract. It's not something imminent, so I don't want to throw out things that are not happening today, tomorrow or in a few days. But, I mean, in the next few months, I would not be surprised to see a conversation between Gavi and Barca over a new contract. “But in general, Barca are super happy with Gavi. Gavi is super happy with Barca. Rodri joining Barca is only good news for Gavi. Gavi and Rodri have an excellent relationship, and so it doesn't mean that Rodri is going to Barca and so Gavi wants to go. It's not true at all, and Gavi is staying.” Man Utd want new left-back While Man Utd aren’t in talks to sign Gavi, they are eager to land a new left-back and Lewis Hall remains their top target. “Man Utd are currently very focused on a new left-back,” Romano confirmed. “Conversations are happening behind the scenes on several profiles. We know that one of the favourites was Lewis Hall at Newcastle, but Newcastle don't want to sell the player. There are more candidates on the list at M
