Transfer Rumours: Arsenal cause Nico Paz problem as contract agreement reached

Transfer Rumours: Arsenal cause Nico Paz problem as contract agreement reached Make us your Google favourite sources runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 9 September, including the latest updates on Nico Paz , Lewis Hall and Fermin Lopez . Real Madrid worried about Arsenal Arsenal 's interest in Como star Nico Paz could cause Real Madrid a headache, writes. The Gunners are long-standing admirers of the Argentina international and could make a move for him next year. Real Madrid, however, included an €80 million buy-back clause when they sold Paz to Como this summer. Real Madrid therefore have the final say on the youngster's future and want to be the main financial beneficiary from his next move. However, re-signing him and selling him for a profit within a 16-week period would make this an illegal "bridge transfer," significantly complicating the matter. Hall agrees new contract Lewis Hall has agreed a new contract with Newcastle , according to Ben Jacobs . The 22-year-old will sign a two-year extension to his existing terms, meaning that he will be tied to Newcastle until 2031 after a summer of heavy speculation over his future. Hall was Man Utd 's top target for the left-back position. It has been suggested that the Red Devils will return for the England star next year. This new contract does not necessarily preclude a transfer in 2027, but it does put Newcastle in a significantly more advantageous negotiating position. Fermin worth €150m Barcelona attacker Fermin Lopez is now worth "at least €150 million," journalist David Sanchez insists. When fully fit, the Spain international has been devastating for the Catalans, and he has started this new season like a house on fire, scoring four goals in four games. Last year, the 23-year-old was a target for Chelsea . However, any potential move in the future would likely require an astronomical fee, such has been the attacking midfielder's development. In fact, Sanchez suggests that Barcelona should have taken offence that Chelsea only offered €40m for Fermin in 2025. Liverpool still keen on Wharton Liverpool remain interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton , claims. The 22-year-old was thought to be a key target for the Reds this summer, but Crystal Palace refused to entertain bids for Wharton. The young midfielder ultimately remained at Selhurst Park. However, there is a firm expectation that he will be on the move in 2027, and Liverpool are likely to be at the front of the queue for him amid the uncertain future of Alexis Mac Allister . Gyokeres sale possible in 2027 Arsenal will listen to offers for Viktor Gyokeres next year, Ben Jacobs understands. The Sweden international is not being actively forced out of Arsenal, but he is far from untouchable and could leave the Gunners next summer should a suitable offer arrive. Arsenal would have been prepared to include Gyokeres in a swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Julian Alvarez , and he was "touted to the Saudi market as well," illustrating that he is not considered unsellable.
