Man Utd, Arsenal target Porto defender Costa; City to keep Haaland; Liverpool eye Tchouameni

Arsenal and Manchester United have both turned their attention to Porto’s centre‑back Alberto Costa, a player who has been linked with a move to the Premier League after a solid season in the Portuguese top flight. The two clubs are reportedly in talks with the Portuguese side to secure the defender’s services before the summer window closes.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are determined to keep Erling Haaland in their ranks. Even if the club were to face relegation, City’s management has signalled that they will not allow the Norwegian striker to leave on a cheap deal, ensuring the club retains a key attacking asset.

In the south of England, Liverpool are keeping an eye on Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. The Frenchman’s performances for the Spanish giants have drawn interest from the Mersey side, who are looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the next season.

These developments add to the growing buzz in the transfer market, as clubs look to bolster their squads in preparation for the upcoming season. The interest in Costa, Haaland, and Tchouameni underscores the competitive nature of the Premier League and the desire of top clubs to secure top talent.

With the transfer window still open, negotiations are likely to intensify. Clubs will need to balance their financial constraints with the ambition to remain competitive, while players and agents will weigh the prospects of new challenges and career progression.
