The Premier League club is reportedly seeking over £60 million for the 30-year-old, as negotiations between the two clubs continue. Elsewhere, Barcelona is set to lose their Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who is moving to Al-Qadsiah for £52 million. Tottenham's England defender Djed Spence will undergo a medical in Italy on Friday ahead of a £25.6 million move to Inter Milan, with additional 5 million euros in add-ons. Arsenal's pursuit of Spain defender Marc Pubill has been rejected by Atletico Madrid, who stated that the 23-year-old is not for sale. Meanwhile, Hull City is on the verge of finalizing the signing of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath from Red Bull Salzburg for 4 million euros (£3.4 million).",
