Mason Greenwood’s proposed move from Marseille to Roma has stalled because Roma must raise funds before committing. Marseille reportedly value the forward around €50 million to €55 million and want cash before a financial watchdog hearing.

Roma are said to need about €50 million in capital gains and may sell Manu Kone to unlock the deal. Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG interest in Kone is now indirectly affecting Greenwood’s route to Serie A.

Anthony Martial has agreed to terminate his Monterrey contract and is looking for a return to Ligue 1. The former Manchester United forward struggled in Mexico, managing only one goal and three assists in 20 appearances.

Martial’s representatives are offering him to French clubs, but salary demands and recent form are major obstacles. Nice are reportedly among the few sides not to have ruled out a move, pending wage and squad trimming.

Barcelona have reportedly sounded out Harry Kane’s camp as they assess striker options after Robert Lewandowski’s departure. The Bayern Munich forward is admired by the club, but early feedback suggests the move is currently cold.

Kane is happy in Munich, although talks over a contract extension have not produced agreement on length. Barcelona still view Julian Alvarez as the preferred profile because of his pressing, mobility and interest in joining.

Real Madrid have enquired about Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie this summer as Jose Mourinho looks for another left-footed centre-back. The Spanish club have already signed Ibrahima Konate but may add another defender if players leave.

A deal would be complicated because Arsenal only signed Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen last summer on a loan with obligation to buy. Madrid are also monitoring other defenders, but Nico Schlotterbeck’s injury has reduced that option.

Julian Alvarez has told ESPN that he wants to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, saying a transfer would be best for everyone. Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal and Real Madrid have all been linked with the Argentina forward.

Alvarez did not name his preferred destination publicly, but ESPN reports Barcelona are his favoured option. Atletico have pushed back strongly against interest from their LaLiga rivals, including after Real Madrid’s reported €150 million bid.

West Ham United have signed Switzerland defender Nadine Riesen on a three-year contract after her Eintracht Frankfurt exit. The 26-year-old becomes Rita Guarino’s fourth summer signing as the club continues rebuilding for the new WSL season.

England goalkeeper Khiara Keating has turned down Manchester City’s offer of a new contract and is uncertain over her next move. Her current deal runs until next year, but other WSL clubs are interested this summer.

The 21-year-old wants more regular minutes after starting only four WSL games last season behind Ayaka Yamashita. A move could help her rebuild England prospects before the next Women’s World Cup cycle under Sarina Wiegman.

This week

Alexia Putellas is expected to choose her next club this week after leaving Barcelona. London City Lionesses remain strongly linked, but Boston Legacy and Gotham are pushing from the NWSL as transfer deadlines approach quickly.

The NWSL’s restart and pre-season timetable have increased pressure for a quick answer, while European interest also remains. Putellas must balance sporting ambition, family distance and the risk of facing Barcelona in future Champions League campaigns.
