Liverpool is keen on signing Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich and preparing to offer a new long-term contract to Ryan Gravenberch, while also facing challenges in signing Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton. Manchester United is interested in Cristiano Orozco and Frenkie de Jong, with a separate pursuit of Harry Kane from Bayern Munich, while Aston Villa seeks a permanent deal for Jadon Sancho. Tottenham aims to permanently sign Joao Palhinha after a successful loan, and Arsenal is targeting Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo and Lucien Agoume.
