Arsenal’s first reported bid for Jeremy Monga is rejected by Leicester, according to Friday’s transfer gossip round-up. The reports also say Arsenal are preparing a separate approach for Bradley Barcola. Elsewhere in the same coverage, Liverpool are described as being ready to submit an offer worth close to £86m for Yan Diomande, indicating that multiple clubs are active in the market for different targets.
In addition, the gossip roundup includes a claim that RB Leipzig makes contact with Everton regarding Barry, showing that talks are extending beyond England’s top clubs. Taken together, the items point to ongoing negotiations involving several players, with Arsenal specifically facing a setback after their opening offer for Monga is turned down. The reports present these developments as preliminary and do not confirm completed deals or final bids beyond the initial steps described.
