– Arsenal’s David Raya and Brighton & Hove Albion’s Bart Verbruggen have emerged as shock targets for Real Madrid, according to The Sun.

Brighton have already lined up several possible candidates to replace Verbruggen should his head get turned by Los Blancos this summer, including Burnley’s James Trafford and Liverpool backup Caoimhín Kelleher. Raya, meanwhile, is regarded by Real Madrid as a trickier deal to pull off, as the 29-year-old is under contract at the Emirates until June 2028.

According to Moretto, Osimhen has a €75 million release clause, which several European clubs are seemingly willing to trigger.
