Barcola‚ 23‚ has been a long-term target of Liverpool this summer but this week they made checks on Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr and also held discussions for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh. The deal will be the biggest of the summer transfer window so far‚ eclipsing Chelsea's £117m move for Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.
Bruno Fernandes has been named the PFA Players' Player of the Year after a landmark 2025-26 campaign in which the Manchester United captain broke the Premier League record for most assists in a single season.

Fernandes has already won the Premier League Player of the Season and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year accolades‚ and completed the hat-trick by collecting the prestigious‚ player-voted award at Manchester's Opera House on Tuesday evening.

Unai Emery hinted heavily that Ollie Watkins had been reluctant to play for Aston Villa as they were hammered by Brighton amid interest in the striker from Al-Hilal. Villa say they have rejected four offers from the Saudi Pro League club for Watkins‚ who was not included in the squad for Villa's 4-0 defeat even though the club's only other forwards‚ Brian Madjo and Tammy Abraham‚ are out injured. As far as Villa are concerned‚ it is understood Watkins is neither ill nor injured. However‚ he is not thought to have trained fully last week. Watkins representative has been contacted for comment.

Liverpool are expected to make an improved offer for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh after having a £50m bid rejected. The Gambian is out until October after undergoing surgery on his right leg. Liverpool reverted to the 22-year-old after considering Ibrahim Mbaye of Paris St Germain too expensive. They are continuing discussions for Bradley Barcola.
Manchester United are closing on a £65million deal for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. Talks resumed for the Cameroon international in recent weeks after it became apparent his ankle ligament injury was not as serious as first feared. He is expected to be fit towards the end of September.
TOM COLLOMOSSE IN SALZBURG: The UEFA Super Cup belongs to Paris Saint-Germain but Aston Villa left Salzburg with something far more precious than a piece of pre-season silverware. Between them‚ teenagers Brian Madjo and George Hemmings have made just six competitive appearances for Villa. Yet both frightened the life out of the back-to-back Champions League winners and on this evidence‚ they will be given plenty more opportunities by Unai Emery. They may have sold £150million worth of talent in Morgan Rogers‚ Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne since winning the Europa League and have doubts over the future of other key players. There is nothing quite like teenagers stepping up to the mark‚ though‚ and their performances will give Villa plenty of encouragement ahead of their Premier League opener at Brighton on August 23.
