European sports outlets have published the latest batch of key transfer news and rumours for the week.

Arsenal tracking Nico Pas, but Real Madrid hold the cards

Arsenal are keeping a close eye on 22-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder Nico Pas from Italian side Como. According to Spanish outlet ElDesmarque, the main hurdle for the Gunners in pursuing Pas is Real Madrid, who retain the first right of refusal to buy the player back for €80 million (approximately £68.7 million).

Monaco demand €70 million for Lamina Kamara

French club Monaco are looking to cash in on 22-year-old Senegalese midfielder Lamina Kamara, setting a price of no less than €70 million (around £60.1 million). Kamara is on the radar of both Chelsea and Liverpool. For context, a move to Stamford Bridge fell through at the very last moment on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Barcelona preparing new deals for Raphinha and Abdelkarim

Spanish giants Barcelona are aiming to extend contracts for two of their forwards:

29-year-old Brazilian winger Raphinha currently has a contract until 2028, but the Blaugrana are preparing to offer an extension until 2030 (AS).

Additionally, Barcelona have agreed to prolong the deal of 18-year-old Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarim until 2030, with a buyout clause set at €150 million (Sport).
