Manchester City are reportedly exploring a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez as Rodri is expected to join Barcelona, while Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are also linked with several high-profile transfer targets. The reports underline the potential scale of summer squad rebuilding among leading Premier League clubs, though the claims remain speculative and originate from various media outlets.

Inter Milan striker Pio Esposito, 21, is valued at £73m amid interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, while Liverpool have held initial talks over Paris St-Germain forward Bradley Barcola but reportedly differ significantly on valuation. Arsenal are also considering Barcola, Julian Alvarez and Iliman Ndiaye after missing out on Vinicius Jr, while Newcastle have rejected a Manchester United enquiry for Lewis Hall and may pursue Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
