Last Word on Football’s Football Transfer News<\/a> focuses on the latest transfer rumours from the Premier League<\/a>.

Latest Premier League Transfer Rumours<\/h2>\n

Manchester City Swoop for Rodri<\/h2>\n

Manchester City are reportedly ready to trigger Rodri’s release clause, Simon Stone of BBC Sport<\/a> reports. City will pay \u00a363 million for the 22-year-old Spanish international, a club-record deal, beating Riyad Mahrez<\/a>‘s \u00a360 million move.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions were eyeing a defensive midfielder to bolster their ranks; Rodri has been a target since his move to Madrid from Villarreal last summer. Many see him as a perfect replacement for the ageing Fernandinho<\/a>. No deal is confirmed yet, and Bayern Munich<\/a> still register interest. He is someone with the potential to spray the ball like Kevin de Bruyne while protecting the back-line like Fernandinho<\/a>. Thus, he seems a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola’s system.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Braced for Real Madrid Offer<\/h2>\n

Hassan Rashed of The Mirror<\/a> claims that Real Madrid will offer Tottenham a player-plus-cash deal for Christian Eriksen<\/a>. The Spanish giants will offer \u00a345 million plus Dani Ceballos<\/a> in a bid to land the Danish superstar. Eriksen, 27, has a year left on his contract and has admitted he is seeking a new challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zinedine Zidane’s rebuild project at Real Madrid<\/a> is in full swing. The club have already spent near \u00a3300 million to improve upon last year’s disappointment. Eden Hazard<\/a>, Ferland Mendy<\/a> and Luka Jovic<\/a> have all come in, now Zidane is seeking a creative midfielder. Dani Ceballos<\/a>‘ desire to leave Madrid is evident, and ‘Zizou’ is hoping to use the midfielder to lower Spurs’ \u00a3100 million asking price for Eriksen.<\/p>\n

Everton Close on Gomes<\/h2>\n

Everton will complete the signing of Andr\u00e9 Gomes<\/a> from Barcelona<\/a>, according to Simon Jones of Mail Online<\/a>. The Toffees have agreed a \u00a322 million fee with the La Liga<\/a> Champions, and personal terms should not be a stumbling block.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old joined Everton on loan last summer and impressed in his 29 appearances for the Merseyside club. The Portugal international attracted interest from West Ham United<\/a>, but the London side were unable to agree a fee with Barcelona. Gomes is the first victim of Barcelona’s summer clear-out and will become Everton’s second signing.<\/p>\n

Watford Make Contact With Uruguay International<\/h2>\n

Ryan Gray of the Watford Observer<\/a> writes that Gino Pozzo has been in contact with the agent of Gast\u00f3n Pereira. His agent Paco Casal reportedly offered the Uruguayan winger to AC Milan earlier this summer. Now, Watford are eyeing up the Uruguay international, who is currently at the Copa Am\u00e9rica with the national squad.<\/p>\n

Pereiro, who has a year remaining on his contract, would reportedly be available for \u00a318 million. Since his move to PSV in 2015, he has scored 47 goals in 146 games. He was part of the squad that finished runners-up to Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie<\/a>. With initial contact made, a more concrete offer could yet follow.<\/p>\n
