🔥 Trending Transfer Rumors – July 4, 2025

⚡ Rodrygo to Arsenal? Real Madrid Open the Door

In a move that could shock the Premier League, Rodrygo Goes may be on his way out of Real Madrid.

Top sources, including The Guardian and ESPN, report that Madrid are open to selling the Brazilian winger this summer. The expected fee? Around €90 million (£76m).

🚨 Arsenal are leading the race, with Mikel Arteta keen on adding explosive width and goals to his front three.


Why It Makes Sense

  • Arsenal may lose Gabriel Martinelli, who is being chased by Al Nassr for £73m.
  • Rodrygo offers versatility—he can play left, right, or even centrally.
  • Real Madrid need to offload to balance their books after Endrick’s arrival.

🔍 Watch this space: Arsenal could go all in to seal the deal before their U.S. preseason tour.


🔵 Jamie Gittens to Chelsea – Deal Almost Done!

Borussia Dortmund have officially confirmed that an agreement is in place to sell Jamie Gittens to Chelsea.

The fee? Around €60 million (~£52m).

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is building for the future—and Gittens fits the profile. Young, English, and fast with an eye for goal. The Blues are serious about returning to Champions League contention.

📌 Maresca said in a presser: “No official update yet—but we’re working.”



🔁 Jadon Sancho to Juventus? A Cut-Price Exit

Juventus are reportedly interested in a £25m deal for Jadon Sancho, who continues to struggle for form and starts at Manchester United.

Sources say Sancho is open to a move—especially if it means reviving his career in Italy.

United want to free up wages and re-invest in a striker. This one feels like it could be done before the next friendly match.



🔴 Arsenal’s Big Summer – Gyökeres, Martinelli & Rodrygo

If you’re an Arsenal fan, you’re living through one of the most active windows in years.

Here’s what’s going down:

  • Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP is very close to signing.
  • Rodrygo is now Arsenal’s top target.
  • Gabriel Martinelli may be heading to Al Nassr for a Saudi mega-deal.
  • Nico Williams is off the table—he’s staying with Athletic Club.

Arsenal want a wide player and a true No. 9, and Edu is making big moves to back Arteta’s title challenge.

✍️ Reliable Football’s Take

This week shows how aggressive Premier League clubs are getting. Arsenal, Chelsea, and United are not sitting back they’re spending, negotiating, and reshaping their squads.

But this window isn’t just about splashing cash. Clubs are:

  • Targeting youth and value: Gittens, García, and Gyökeres are all under 25.
  • Responding to Saudi interest: Al Nassr’s bid for Martinelli could set off a domino effect.
  • Shifting power: Rodrygo leaving Madrid? That’s a big deal.

And there’s still nearly two months to go. Brace yourself
