Villa interested in Endrick loan – Monday’s gossip
BBC Sport's Monday football gossip column rounds up transfer speculation across the Premier League and Europe, with Aston Villa and Roma reportedly interested in taking Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Endrick on loan. Other notable strands include Harry Kane expected to sign a contract extension at Bayern Munich and Arsenal attempting to hijack Liverpool's pursuit of Paris St-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, reflecting the busy state of the summer transfer window as clubs finalise squads before the season begins.
The column also covers Marcus Rashford's stated commitment to Manchester United following his loan spell at Barcelona, and Liverpool potentially allowing Cody Gakpo to join Tottenham. Confirmed or advanced deals include Fulham agreeing a deal worth up to £30m for Southampton's Shea Charles, Sheffield United improving their offer to £8m for Leicester's Harry Souttar, and Scottish striker Robbie Ure set to join Sevilla from IK Sirius for £7.7m. As is standard for these round-ups, all claims are sourced from other outlets and remain unconfirmed.
