New developments in the football transfer market reveal that several top European players are being eyed by major clubs, while others are likely to stay put.
Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, for instance, is expected to remain with the Magpies, despite ongoing interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
The 25-year-old Swedish striker reportedly wishes to sign a new contract that would extend his stay at Newcastle until 2028. Given that Isak still has three years left on his current deal, the club doesn’t feel any urgency to start negotiations just yet, according to reports from *I Sport* and *The Mail*.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland, the prolific 24-year-old Manchester City forward, has expressed a desire to move to Real Madrid once his contract with City expires in 2027.
The Norwegian star has been a standout performer since joining City, and his interest in joining the La Liga giants has been noted by *Mundo Deportivo*. Should Haaland eventually head to Madrid, it would fulfill a longstanding ambition to play for one of Spain’s biggest clubs, a desire he has hinted at previously.
On Arsenal’s radar is another striker, Victor Gyokeres, the 26-year-old Swedish forward who currently plays for Sporting CP in Portugal. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly considering Gyokeres as an option to strengthen his attack, as the club aims to increase their goal-scoring capabilities. This report from *GiveMeSport* aligns with Arteta’s recent emphasis on reinforcing offensive power in the squad.
Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa is another name circulating in transfer discussions, as he is rumored to be contemplating a temporary move away from the club.
The 26-year-old Italian winger, who has struggled with form and playing time, is reportedly on the radar of several Serie A clubs, including AC Milan, Roma, and Inter Milan. According to *Calciomercato.it*, Chiesa is eager to regain his form, and a loan spell in Italy could offer him a fresh start and more consistent game time.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s 19-year-old midfielder Arda Guler is reportedly drawing interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool.
The young Turkey international has found playing time limited at Madrid this season, and both Premier League clubs are exploring the possibility of bringing him into their squads to provide more midfield options, as per *Caught Offside*.
Joshua Zirkzee, a young Dutch forward currently playing for Manchester United, is also considering his options as he has struggled to make a strong impact with just one goal in 11 appearances.
Reports from *Tuttosport* suggest that Zirkzee could return to Italy on loan, with Juventus being the most likely destination. This potential move could help the 23-year-old striker gain more experience and improve his form.
Besiktas, one of Turkey’s prominent clubs, has shown interest in Everton’s striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The English striker has attracted attention from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle as well, but Besiktas seems particularly keen on bringing him to the Turkish league.
This update, coming from *FotoMac*, indicates a competitive race for Calvert-Lewin, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons but remains a talented and sought-after player.
The ongoing speculation around these players highlights the shifting dynamics in European football, with clubs looking to strategically strengthen their squads either by signing top talents or retaining valuable assets.
