The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.

Arsenal plot to hijack Chelsea move for Premier League star

The Gunners could bid for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after Chelsea’s failed transfer offer.

Despite links with West Ham star Declan Rice, Arsenal are searching for alternatives. Everton ace Amadou Onana is one on the name, as is Caicedo. Chelsea are keen on the latter. However, with Brighton rejecting two offers of above £55 million, the Blues have accepted a January deal looks increasingly unlikely. [Evening Standard]

Barcelona eye several stars in Juve raid

The Blaugrana are plotting a transfer raid at Juventus after the Italian club’s 15-point deduction in the ‘capital gains case’.

The penalty has dropped Juventus down to 10th in the Serie A table, 14 points outside the top four. They won’t play Champions League football next season as things stand. Should it stay that way, Barcelona may pursue moves for some of Juve’s star players, including Manuel Locatelli, Federico Chiesa, and Dusan Vlahovic. [Diario Sport]
