Arsenal’s pursuit of Nico Paz has reportedly suffered a setback after the Argentine playmaker held talks with Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho. The discussion points toward Paz spending another season in Italy rather than returning immediately to Madrid.

Mourinho is open to evaluating Paz in pre-season but cannot guarantee regular minutes, which leaves another Italian spell likely. Arsenal had monitored the 21-year-old, but his development path now appears tied to playing time.

Casemiro’s proposed Inter Miami move has been delayed by an MLS discovery rights dispute involving LA Galaxy. The departing Manchester United midfielder reportedly prefers Miami and the chance to link up with Lionel Messi in Florida.

LA Galaxy registered interest first and are seeking compensation before Miami can finalise the deal, according to reports. Similar MLS disputes are often solved through allocation money, leaving Casemiro’s destination dependent on club-to-club agreement this summer.

Antonio Rudiger has signed a one-year Real Madrid contract extension, keeping him at the club until June 2027. The 33-year-old Germany defender had been nearing the end of his previous deal and wanted longer-term security.

Madrid stuck to their policy of short extensions for older players, but still wanted Rudiger’s experience during Jose Mourinho’s rebuild. The deal follows Marc Cucurella’s arrival and expected defensive changes involving Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.

Tottenham have entered the race for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali as Roberto De Zerbi pushes for a major rebuild. Spurs are reportedly ready to rival Arsenal and Manchester City, while Manchester United are no longer actively pursuing him.

De Zerbi sees Tonali as a statement midfield signing after Tottenham’s difficult season, but Newcastle’s valuation remains a major barrier. The player has also attracted interest because Newcastle missed European qualification, increasing speculation around high-value exits.

Barcelona have declined their option to sign Marcus Rashford permanently from Manchester United, sending the England forward back to Old Trafford after the World Cup. The clause was worth about £26m, but Barcelona chose not to activate it.

United still expect Rashford to leave, but his £325,000-a-week contract and two years remaining complicate any deal. A strong World Cup could widen his market, while Aston Villa and Bayern Munich remain possible destinations.
