‘Spectating,’ said El Mala’s agent, his mother Sabrina El Mala. chelsea‘ to make a bid for the 19-year-old this summer.

Sport Bild Report That ‘El Mama’ is rejecting offers from other clubs while she waits for Chelsea to enter the picture.

chelsea hope

The newspaper reports that Sabrina El Mala became concerned earlier this year following reports that the Brighton forward had pulled out of talks.

She wanted to know if the Premier League team had indeed withdrawn their offer because it did not match the plan. Brighton confirmed that they have not withdrawn their offer, but everything with FC Cologne is on hold.

The German side had blocked the negotiations. Brighton were not allowed to submit their €35 million offer. Fabian Herzeler’s side do not want to go anywhere near the €50m asking price. The plan was to wait for the price to drop and then move up.

Meanwhile, Brentford have made a move and offered Cologne €50m. It looked like the deal was moving forward, but then a report on Thursday said Sabrina El Mala drops a transfer bomb on Thursday and blocked the move.

chelsea finance problem

Sport Bild report the possibility that he is ‘betting on Chelsea.’ According to their information, Chelsea have hinted in talks with Said El Mala’s representatives that they could pursue a move to Brighton.

They would then send the young star back to Cologne on loan for a year. Such an arrangement would be a ‘dream come true’ for the family. El Mala’s future will be settled, and he can spend another year in his homeland. Cologne will be happy too

The problem is that Chelsea are unlikely to do such a deal. Their financial situation will not allow a €50 million deal this summer, not without a sale first. Reportedly, the Blues are avoiding any expensive deal that does not ‘provide an immediate boost’.

Meanwhile, Brighton have no interest in a loan-back deal. But it seems Sabrina El Mala is holding out hope, perhaps explaining the recent Brentford rejection.

Aston VillaAndres Garcia has rarely featured since joining the Premier League side from Levante in January 2025.

The right-back played 83 minutes in six Premier League matches this season as Unai Emery backed Matty Cash.

He had opportunities to leave Aston Villa in January but decided to finish the season at Villa Park. This helped him win the Europa League with the Villans last month.

On Tuesday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain That Emery has given him approval to leave this summer.

His preference is to join Valencia, having not made official contact with the English club.

Aston Villa player carefully evaluates next step

zero wave Also report that the Spaniard will leave the Birmingham club and several clubs are keen to sign him.

Valencia and Elche CF showed interest in January and both are still interested in him. Both clubs will have to be wary of competition from Italy and elsewhere.

Wednesday edition of InformationA local newspaper from Elche CF, covering the latest news of interest to them.

Andres Garcia is on their agenda and it is in their favor to open the door to Aston Villa after failing in the winter market.

The Europa League winner and fullback agrees it is best for him to play elsewhere next season.

He has several options, including Valencia, but his agent will not rush into making a final decision. However, the representative intends to secure an exit from Aston Villa by July.

The La Liga team must appoint a manager following the sudden exit of Eder Sarabia last week. They cannot proceed to sign a fullback until his successor is appointed.

If Elche makes Buba Sangare’s stay permanent it will have to compete with Buba Sangare. These are both problems for the Spanish club in moving forward to sign Garcia.

Aston Villa and the defender are both clear that he will leave this summer. The destination will have to be decided on the basis of formal proposals.

Villains likely to get loan approval

There is no clarity on whether Andres Garcia will move on loan or a permanent transfer this summer.

His contract is till 2029 and transfer market He is worth €7 million. A temporary move would likely allow the player to enjoy more minutes next season, which in turn could improve his value.

Tottenham Hotspur Striker Manor Solomon’s agent Gilad Katzav says he has not made any decisions on his future.

The forward spent last season on loan at Leeds United and Spurs allowed him to join Villarreal last summer.

He struggled in La Liga and Tottenham cut his loan stay short in January, only to approve another loan move to Fiorentina.

Israel International in February the representative said The Serie A side have a €10m purchase option in the deal. He insisted that a permanent transfer depended on La Viola remaining in the top flight. They finished 15th in the table and have not yet made their place permanent.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy That the 26-year-old tried to convince Fiorentina to buy him. The attacker scored two goals and two assists in 19 appearances for the Italian club.

two days ago he took to instagram To thank Fiorentina and their fans for their support this year. This was considered as a farewell post.

Tottenham man’s agent issues clarification

Gilad Katzav speaking to 103 FM Maariv Has released his comments. The representative wastes no time in issuing a clarification regarding his client’s latest social media post.

“The post is definitely not a farewell post; he simply posted about the past year and said a big thank you,” He said.

“The explanation was that he wouldn’t be there; that’s not true. He has a contract with Tottenham; he has finished his loan, and the transfer window is just starting.”

Should Fiorentina decide not to buy Manor Solomon then he would have to return to Tottenham Hotspur.

Roberto De Zerbi joined the north London club in March and was successful in helping them avoid relegation.

The Israeli has not held talks with the Spurs boss, and his agent prefers him to remain at the Premier League team next season.

“There have been no negotiations yet between Roberto De Zerbi and Manor,” Katjav explained.

“Everything is open. I want Manor Solomon to be at Tottenham; that’s my wish. There’s Pini Zahavi, Shlomi Ben Ezra and me.”

De Zerbi key to Tottenham stay

The agent’s comments suggest that Fiorentina are unlikely to buy Manor Solomon. Therefore, he is pressurizing him to remain with the English club.

However, this will mainly depend on Roberto De Zerbi, who will have a major role on frontman.

Solomon has two years remaining on his contract. According to its value transfer marketIs €8m. He and his agent will be waiting for a final decision from the English club.

armory Manager Mikel Arteta has added Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carneschi to his agenda for the summer.

In February, Sports Witness Covered claims from Italy Arsenal pursued the 25-year-old.

The stopper graduated from the Serie A side’s academy and has been their No. 1 from the 2023/24 season.

He scored 135 goals and kept 45 clean sheets in 126 matches for La Dea. This season, he kept 17 clean sheets and conceded 57 goals in 50 matches.

The stopper’s performances may have convinced the Premier League team to include him on their shortlist.

Why are Arsenal keen?

all atalanta Report Marco Carnesecchi is vocal and has the ability to create play from the back. These are some of the qualities that make him an ‘ideal fit’ for Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal scouts have followed the Italian closely for over a year and a half and they are keen to acquire his services this summer.

The Gunners maintain a good relationship with their agent, Alessandro Lucci, whose client list also includes Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori. The representative brokered the left-back’s move from Bologna to the Emirates in 2024.

Lucious ‘completely understands Arteta’s needs’ and has Arsenal’s trust thanks to the Calafiori deal.

The English champions will have to step up their efforts and La Dea will open the door to progress. Atalanta have set a price tag of €40 million for the Italian and are refusing to offer any discounts.

Arsenal are interested in Carneschi and the player, his agent and Atalanta are all aware of it.

It is unclear whether the north London club is willing to meet the price. His close relationship with his agent could make a potential deal this summer easier.

Our view: Backup role at Arsenal

David Raya has been the No. 1 at the Emirates in recent years. He will start for Arsenal in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain today.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has been the Spaniard’s backup. If Marco Carneschi arrives in London, he will have to compete with the former Chelsea man for the number 2 spot.

transfer market The Atalanta player is valued at €30 million with a contract until 2028.

Jhon Lukumi has emerged as a target tottenham This week and the player’s agent has now spoken about his future.

Sunderland made a move for the defender last summer. They made a formal offer but Bologna managed to hold on to the centre-back, who had impressed during the previous campaign.

However, despite their best efforts, the Rossoblu failed to qualify for European football. due to this sports witness Covering the high possibility of Lukumi’s exit, Tottenham are now monitoring the situation with the Colombia international.

Lucmi’s agent has now spoken about his client’s future, indicating that he is ready to leave Bologna.

Proceed in PL functions

Spoke to Agent Simone Rondanini tutomercatoweb About the 28-year-old, when he addressed Lucumi’s last possible season with Bologna.

He clarified that the player is disappointed at not being able to qualify for Europe. Despite this, he has developed and improved.

“Obviously, there is a bit of disappointment, because since he has been in Bologna, the team has consistently scored important goals. However, personally, I think he is continuing to grow, and I think that has been particularly evident in the final games of the season.”

The agent was also questioned about a possible move to England. He clarified that the Bologna chapter is now probably closed.

Confirming Sunderland’s vision for 2025, he said: “Bologna is his home. As we know, there were already some important opportunities last year, but ultimately no deal was reached. I believe the boy is now ready for a new challenge, so we will carefully analyze the market and see if the conditions are right for everyone this summer.”

England’s sales efforts

The centre-back’s agent tried to force Sunderland into a sale last year. While that did not happen, Bologna have been selling their best players to English teams from 2024 onwards. The way the Italian press is promoting lucumi clearly suggests that something similar could be happening.

Tottenham are about to sign Marcos Senesi and this would make a move for Lukumi less likely. The two are similar players and of the same age, with the Argentinian set to arrive at Spurs on a free.

That’s why those around Lukumi may soon need to turn to other English clubs. This time, their exit will be more amicable. The player’s contract expires in 2027 and Bologna would be more open to a sale.

If he performs well in the World Cup, more English clubs may come calling.

Marvin Daksh wants to leave birmingham city He has already visited Berlin with his agents ahead of a further potential move this summer.

BILD, in their Berlin-Brandenburg editionReport the striker is already preparing to leave Birmingham after just one year at the club.

birmingham exit

The newspaper reports that Hertha BSC made an inquiry about the 32-year-old striker three weeks ago. He was already on their wishlist in the 2025 summer window.

They have now revived that interest as it is understood he wants to leave Birmingham following their failure to gain promotion to the Premier League.

Marvin Dakash has also visited Berlin in the last few days. He visited the Berlin Olympic Stadium with representatives from his agency EMG Mundial. He was present for the DFB Cup final between Bayern Munich and Stuttgart.

The Birmingham striker used the trip to ‘get a feel for the city’. Hertha are looking for a striker and Daksh is an option on their list.

german lover

An unnamed Bundesliga club and relegated VfL Wolfsburg are also interested in him. Dakash wants to explore all his options before more intensive talks begin with Hertha Berlin.

The striker still has a year left on his deal in Birmingham. But the contract includes a €1m release clause. A recent report indicates that Germany has shown interest.

But Hertha Berlin could not afford such a fee. They are focusing on free transfers and they need to sell players before they buy anyone. The German side need to raise €15m. Of this, €12 million will come from young player Kennett Eichhorn, who is wanted by all the big clubs in Europe.

The team’s other stars would then be introduced as sales candidates. If and when they depart, this could save money for Dakash. Meanwhile, he is considering his options as a move away from Birmingham looks likely.

Luka Vuckovic’s agent left wondering amid reports of talks over a potential new contract Tottenham Hotspur.

MOPO reports thisAccording to his knowledge, a recent report about the Tottenham youngster was widespread.

The tottenham report is wrong

The newspaper reports that a recent paragraph in a British newspaper had caused excitement at HSV Hamburg. In an article about the team’s plans at Tottenham, it was claimed that the 19-year-old player was expected to sign a new contract with Tottenham.

He would then be loaned out once again to Hamburg. This would be a dream scenario for HSV. He has almost resigned himself to making up for Tottenham losing the defender this summer.

But, according to MOPO, the part given in the report is not true. Their information is that there have currently been no talks between Luka Vuckovic’s representatives and Tottenham regarding a new contract.

And, as a result, there is no need to speculate about any potential contractual agreement between HSV and Vuckovic. The England report has caused ‘some surprise’ even in Vuckovic’s camp.

world cup focus

The 19-year-old player is not currently focused on his future. The World Cup is the main focus for them. He recently joined the Croatian national team in Rijeka to prepare for the tournament.

Croatia are set to face England, Panama and Ghana in the group stage of the competition next month. Talks with Tottenham will only take place once Croatia’s participation in the tournament ends.

It’s likely that Luka Vuckovic will play a big role in Tottenham’s plans for next season. This is especially the case if Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Veen were to depart in the coming months. Reports have linked both to the exit.

This has also been indicated in the reports. Vuckovic wants to leave Spurs this summer. Either way, the second loan remains ‘unreal’. This is despite what has been said in the English report.

tottenham’s The final home game of the season brought plenty of tension, relief and some notable faces to North London.

One of the more unexpected guests, however, was Benfica midfielder Heorhi Sudakov – who attended Spurs’ 1-0 win over Everton with his agent Vadim Shabali.

The result saved Tottenham’s Premier League status after a disastrous domestic campaign. While there were many guests around the stadium for such a decisive afternoon, the presence of a Benfica player accompanied by his agent naturally raised eyebrows.

Who is Sudakov?

Heori Sudakov is considered one of Ukraine’s greatest talents. The attacking midfielder finished the season with four goals and four assists in 36 appearances for Benfica in all competitions.

Benfica signed him from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer for around €20m (£16.9m). His idea was to become the main creative reference of the side after years of acting in Ukraine.

His adaptation has not been perfect so far, especially given the tactical and physical demands of Portuguese football. Nevertheless, glimpses of quality have been evident throughout the season.

When he played, Sudakov was highly active centrally and moving into wide areas – particularly towards the right flank – averaging 2.28 key passes and 6.96 crosses per game, numbers that underline how much Benfica trusted his creativity and delivery.

that was a goal bournemouth And armory In recent years.

Tottenham’s visit explained

According to Portuguese outlet to ballHeori Sudakov used his holidays to visit London ahead of Ukraine’s June friendlies. After the final whistle, he posted a video showing the bonding between the Tottenham players and supporters after the survival.

Later he uploaded a picture from the stands with Shabli.

Undoubtedly, there would be a reasonable explanation for the trip. Everton defender Vitaly Mykolenko is Sudakov’s international teammate and was involved in the match.

Why are questions raised about this?

Having Heori Sudakov there with his agent makes this trip more interesting than a simple football trip.

Tottenham have struggled badly for creativity and squad depth this season. Injuries exposed his lack of technical options in attacking midfield areas, especially as games became more compact.

Sudakov is not a finished product yet. However, he is exactly the type of technical midfielder that Premier League clubs monitor closely ahead of a potential breakout year.

Of course, his Champions League pedigree and record of over 100 goals and 29 assists in 16 matches in the Ukrainian League may tell a slightly different story.

For now, it can only be a football trip between Ukrainian international players. But with an agent next to her in the stands, there’s enough here to wonder whether a summer story might be beginning to form.

liverpool Inter Milan remain interested in Denzel Dumfries after failing to sign him in the winter market.

On April 8th, we broadcast news The Premier League side are keen to sign the right-back.

Later that month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy The player’s father Boris was unhappy with the failed move to Liverpool in January. He is managing the 30-year-old and working to help his son achieve a ‘dream’ move to the Premier League.

The representative has asked agents and intermediaries to help the Inter Milan star move to England. The Reds could help the 30-year-old fulfill his dream summer.

Dumfries was part of the Nerazzurri team that won the title this season. He played 28 matches and scored five goals and two assists.

Liverpool working on summer deal

The Netherlands international will soon join the national team for the World Cup. Behind the scenes, the Anfield club are trying to secure his services.

is according to fcinternewsAnd their title states ‘Two important expressions of interest from abroad’.

In the report, they have mentioned Liverpool and Barcelona as their suitors and both clubs are interested in signing Denzel Dumfries.

Arne Slot’s side and the La Liga winners contacted his representatives to inform him of their desire to sign him. Barcelona could make a move if Jules Kounde were to move elsewhere for a big fee.

The Dutchman’s future will likely be decided after the World Cup, which will also give him an opportunity to showcase his qualities.

He is happy at San Siro, but his €25m release clause makes him an attractive prospect in the transfer market. This clause will come into effect in July and hence, Dumfries changing clubs after the World Cup cannot be ruled out.

Contract, price and agent information

Denzel Dumfries is under contract until 2028 and his value, as per transfer marketIs €25m.

The Inter Milan star’s father Boris Dumfries is now looking after his interest and future.

His agent is keen to take him to England and that would give Liverpool an edge over Barcelona in the transfer battle. Unlike the Spanish giants, the Reds have no prerequisites to sign him.

armory Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are battling for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez in the summer.

Last month, we broadcast news Both Arsenal and PSG are convincing him to ignore the La Liga winners.

On 7 May, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain The striker is ‘fully aware’ of the interest from Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona.

The source said the Argentina international aims to gain clarity on his future ahead of the World Cup.

This report came out a few days later Diego Simon said Premier League sides and other clubs are keen, “This is normal.”

Incentive for Arsenal and other contenders

The Madrid club finished the season with a 5–1 defeat to Villarreal. After the match Diego Simeone said that Julián Álvarez must make a decision on his future.

to be a chain Relay the manager’s quote and provide an update from their journalist, Pedro Fulana, on the 26-year-old’s situation.

He says Atletico Madrid is aware of developments related to his possible summer exit. Their CEO, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, wants to collect a large fee if the sale goes through without any figures being mentioned.

Barcelona have made contact with Ferran Torres and cash in return for the World Cup winner, but the Spaniard does not want to join Los Rojiblancos.

As well as Hansi Flick’s side, the journalist also covers the Gunners and the Ligue 1 winners’ interest in the South American.

“There are some intermediaries linked to PSG and Arsenal who have also made inquiries to Atletico.” He said.

“It is clear that the club knows that when all this is happening, it is because Julian’s agents and therefore Julian himself have given the green light to discussions about his future away from Atletico Madrid.”

Journalists say the Madrid club have changed their stance on selling the frontman and explain why. This is meant as a boost for Mikel Arteta’s side and their other supporters.

“There is one name that stands out above the rest. That is Matteo Alemany, who knows that Apollo will invest very little, if anything. Therefore, the financial activity in the transfer market will be similar to that of recent seasons,” Fulana explained.

The sale of Alvarez for a big fee could allow Los Rojiblancos to use those funds to reshape their squad in the upcoming window.

Julián Álvarez has scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in 49 matches and is under contract until 2030.

He is estimated to be worth €90m transfer marketAnd agent Fernando Hidalgo represents the former Manchester City star.

dream of signing atlético madrid chelseaMark Cucurella in the summer.

On March 31, Khel Witness Covered claims from Spain Atletico’s strong desire to sign the left-back. The same source said that Chelsea are refusing to sell him after this season.

This seems to have not disappointed the La Liga side, who continue to show interest in the 27-year-old.

Matteo Ruggeri is Diego Simeone’s only recognized left-back. He has used the Italian, centre-back David Hanco and young Julio Diaz on the left side of the defense this season.

Los Rojiblancos are focused on improving that situation in the upcoming window.

chelsea star priority target

Spanish media are covering Atletico Madrid’s interest in Mark Cucurella.

Mark Focus on that and reveal that the Chelsea player is a ‘top target’ for the La Liga side to strengthen the defence.

This will be the Madrid club’s third attempt to sign the 28-year-old in the summer. The first was in 2021, before his transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion. The deal could not go through due to his refusal to pay €18m.

Cucurella had confirmed Atlético’s interest in 2021. At that time, he said: “I’m a good player and they like my profile. I think these teams lacked a little confidence in me or what I was capable of doing.”

Last December, his agent Alex Pique also confirmed Los Rojiblancos’ desire to sign him uncheck Broadcast your comments.

“And it’s true that in the same year that we went to Brighton, there were also options to go to Atletico Madrid, but in different circumstances,” Piqué explained.

The second opportunity came in 2022, when the Spain international was at Chelsea. Atlético was offered a loan to him, but he turned it down.

Marca say their left-back position has been the weakest link since the departures of Lucas Hernandez and Filipe Luis in 2019. Therefore, the Spanish giants are making a third attempt to sign Cucurella to ‘fill the void’.

The former Barcelona player’s contract at Chelsea will expire in 2028 transfer market He is worth €50 million. If he impresses for Spain in the World Cup, his price could increase.

Atletico Madrid will have to spend big to convince the Blues to consider selling their defender.

Despite firing their full-time general manager and working with interim GM Rob Brzezinski, the Minnesota Vikings managed to make several bargain free agency signings.

Nothing could be more impressive than adding potential starting quarterback Kyler Murray for just $1.3 million. Still, the recent signing of Jaun Jennings could be a suitable replacement for Jalen Naylor who would help boost the rushing attack and give another reliable weapon to a QB not named Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison or TJ Hockenson.

Nevertheless, one of the first moves the Vikings made was to sign nickelback James Pierre to a two-year, $8.5 million contract. Clearly, this was a cornerback that the Vikings and defensive coordinator Brian Flores preferred.

recently, athleticRobert Maze called Pierre’s signing “sensible”.

Pierre’s role in Minnesota is clearly defined. Byron Murphy Jr. and Isaiah Rodgers are the starting cornerbacks in Minnesota, but Pierre will play a key role in covering the slot as the Vikings’ third corner.

Additionally, without the addition of Pierre, the Vikings would likely have prioritized drafting a cornerback much earlier, potentially taking prospects like Caleb Banks, Jake Gould, or Domonique Orange out of the picture, but each is likely to have a unique role in coach Flores’ defense as a rookie.

The Detroit Red Wings are looking to make big moves during the 2026 NHL offseason that will get them back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As of 2026, the Red Wings have the NHL’s longest playoff drought, so Detroit will have to make the playoffs next season. In fact, one NHL insider has labeled one of the NHL’s best free agents as a potential fit in Detroit.

The Athletic’s Max Bultmann named Seattle Kraken forward Bobby McMann as the free agent Detroit should sign this offseason. McMann, who was traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Kraken at the NHL trade deadline, scored 29 goals and 46 points in 78 games between the two organizations.

The 29-year-old forward would bring much-needed five-on-five attack to Detroit on a potentially big payday. However, who else did Bultmann suggest for the Red Wings?

Other potential NHL free agent targets for the Detroit Red Wings

While McMann was the top selection, Bultmann also suggested other players, including Buffalo Sabers forward Alex Tuch. The 30-year-old forward may be the top NHL free agent on the market, but will Buffalo really let him walk? Tuch has scored more than 30 goals in three of the last four seasons.

Meanwhile, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Mason Marchment was another option. Marchement doesn’t provide as much offense as Tuch or McMann, but he could be a cheaper option. However, if Detroit wants to add one of the top free agents, it will have to make a big move or go home.

This leads us to Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin. The Pittsburgh legend is nearing the end of his career, but he has become a Red Wings fan. Malkin can still score around 20 goals per season, and there’s a possibility he’ll get a hometown discount for his favorite team as he grows up.

At the end of the day, McMann, along with Tuch, appears to be one of the top options for Detroit. The latter will be a larger pickup; However, there are doubts that it will reach the market. In this case, McMann appears to be one of the top options left.

Either way, the Red Wings need to take a big step forward this offseason to make the 2027 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In the time of Dan Ndoye nottingham forest So far it has been disappointing. The winger is in line for an early exit from the club.

last summer, sports witness Covered how the Midlands club beat Napoli to the winger. Taking advantage of Partenopei’s financial issues, they paid €40m, but the deal did not fall through.

Ndoye scored on his Nottingham Forest debut, providing an assist in his second Premier League game. Since then, he fell victim to the club’s instability and did not contribute a single goal throughout the campaign.

As Ndoye’s condition is desperate, efforts are underway to help him out.

The agent is trying to find a solution

IT migration market Note that the Switzerland international’s last appearance in the Premier League was on April 12 against Aston Villa. This is causing concern among the player’s entourage, who are already trying to find him a new club.

While there has been interest from Italian clubs, those around the player also want to explore other opportunities. Another English club could come forward for him and Nottingham Forest could also change their plans.

A huge fee is being demanded from Vitor Perera. They are refusing to get out of the loan and will only accept a fee of €42m to let him leave.

This, in itself, is likely to create a barrier to returning to Italy. There has already been interest from Inter Milan and Roma but ideally he would prefer a loan move.

Certainly, the New Jersey Devils won’t be able to upgrade their top-six with impact free agent acquisitions given the lack of free agents this summer.

Juventus’ Teun Koopminers has been a shadow of himself in Turin this season of liverpool Interest has emerged as an escape route.

bianconeri paid €51m to sign the Netherlands international in 2024. This came after a successful spell at Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini, also becoming a reliable outlet for goals.

Things did not go according to plan at Juventus. His goal contribution has declined significantly but performances have never been good. This led to Luciano Spalletti using him in a centre-back role, which led to a slight revival at the start of the season.

He was then returned to the midfield role but still failed to meet his previous standards.

sports witness Manchester United’s interest in the midfielder was covered a few weeks ago. Galatasaray’s interest also did not go away, Juve were interested in a separation.

Now, it is Liverpool who is in the picture for him.

The team is working to find a new club

tuttosport Juventus are reportedly considering the sale of the Dutchman. He is not worth the money and it is believed that there would be no point in keeping him for much longer.

they value him €30 million, which would be enough to earn them capital gains in the summer.

It seems this message has reached the Koopminers’ contingent as well. They are exploring the market and have spoken to several Premier League clubs. This has sparked interest from Liverpool and the Reds have been ‘attracted’ to a potential deal.

The newspaper clarified that the English club had tried to sign the 28-year-old player two years ago.

With Liverpool facing competition from Roma, Gasperini is interested in a reunion. Galatasaray remain in the mix and have been keeping an eye on the player since January.

the deal will be risky

There has never been any doubt about the general competence of the Koopminers. During his time at AZ Alkmaar, he was the club captain, played in several positions and also contributed goals regularly.

At Atalanta, he could express that individual potential because of Gasperini’s man-to-man system. There has been instability in Turin and Koopmeiners’ individual ability has never shined. He performed well at centre-back as he had the ability to dictate and control play.

All of this would make a move risky for Liverpool. There are a lot of considerations to make before signing on coupeminers, which makes the deal largely avoidable.

Tottenham Hotspur Goalkeeper Nicolo Fagioli has recently changed his agents, hinting that a transfer could be on the cards this summer.

Firenze Viola report that the 25-year-old Agents have been swapped ahead of the busy summer transfer window.

tottenham and other lovers

The website states that it was ‘quite predictable’ that many foreign clubs began to notice and monitor Nicolo Fagioli’s rise this year. He has impressed despite a disastrous season for Fiorentina.

Now he seems to be in the sights of Tottenham. Reports have made it clear that Roberto De Zerbi is an admirer of his compatriot and would be keen on a move in the summer. It is up to Spurs to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

It looks like Tottenham could be the first in a long line of teams ready to knock on the Viola’s door this summer. And it appears the midfielder is preparing himself for offers.

He recently announced that he has switched agencies, from CAA Stellar Agency to Giovanni Branchini & Associates. This would indicate that possible steps are likely to be taken this summer.

tottenham line up

The ball will be in Fiorentina’s court. It remains to be seen whether Fabio Paratici will approve an exit or decide to block any exit and make Fiorentina a team to move forward.

Either way, if Tottenham avoid relegation this summer it appears they are set to make a move. Sport Witness covered a report earlier today that seems to indicate this.

That report made it clear that Tottenham are getting serious about Nicolo Fagioli. The Italian midfielder is seen as a player who can help solve their midfield problems going forward.

However, they may also have to face a fight. Another report on this matter indicated that Fabio Paratici is ready to fight his former club To make sure they can’t get fagioli this summer. But the change of agents suggests the player is at least considering his options.

fulham TARGET Ricardo Pepi has admitted he has put transfer talks on hold until after the World Cup after a roller coaster of emotions earlier this year.

football news reports comments the PSV Eindhoven star said in an interview with ESPN Netherlands today.

Transfer proposals ignored

The striker has revealed that he wants nothing to do with the transfer at the moment. This is a point he has clearly conveyed to his agent.

He was close to joining Fulham earlier this year, as they initially tried to bring him in in the January transfer window.

Marco Silva’s team returned after the window closed and were close to a deal with PSV Eindhoven. Riccardo Pepi also traveled to Craven Cottage for a medical.

However, the deal could not be completed, as Fulham and PSV could not agree on certain transfer terms. Reportedly, Pepi was extremely disappointed. Now he does not want to discuss any step in the near future.

“Being so close to a transfer that doesn’t have to go through is a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s about staying steady and maintaining balance in your life.” He said.

“To be honest, I always try to focus on what’s next. I just have to play one more match here and hopefully I get a chance at the World Cup.”

“I’m not worried about everything that happens before that. I’m just focused on finishing the season strong. I’m looking forward to getting the chance.”

Fulham will have to wait

Since the Fulham deal collapsed, the striker has made an agreement with his agent not to discuss a potential transfer for the time being. That could change if he shines in the World Cup.

“Yes, 100%, 100%,” He also said about ignoring the proposals.

“Of course, then it may change a little bit, but I still tell him: at the end of the World Cup, at the end of the season, we will have the right time to talk about these types of things. Just let me stay focused and let me finish the season strong.”

It looks like Fulham will have to wait if they are to revive their efforts. Nevertheless, Pepi may keep them away until he is ready to discuss the matter again.

newcastle united Dusan has stepped in for Vlahovic, whose situation at Juventus is becoming increasingly uncertain.

As things stand, the Serbian’s contract in Turin expires in the summer. He has had a season hampered by injuries, most recently coming back from a groin problem and a calf problem.

The striker scored a fine goal against Lecce at the weekend, giving Juve a 1–0 win.

This comes just days after he scored a vital equalizer against Hellas Verona. Despite problems throughout the campaign, his impact has been clearly seen in the Champions League race. Juve currently find themselves in the top four and Vlahovic’s contribution has come at the right time.

sports witness English interest in him has already been covered, with Tottenham being mentioned as potential suitors. Time is running out for a new deal and Newcastle United are attempting to make a move.

Vlahovic sets conditions for transfer

today’s tuttosport The Serbia international pays attention to the situation, marking his possible options in the summer. There is no dearth of clubs who could sign him but things have not gone in the right direction yet.

Juve are also hesitant about whether they can afford to pay him a huge salary, sign-on bonus and commission to his agent.

There remains interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona but there has been no concrete result. The German side made inquiries but Vlahovic does not want to play second fiddle to Harry Kane.

Recently, Atletico Madrid have also stepped forward. He may not even be able to offer regular first-team minutes until Alexander Sörloth leaves.

Meanwhile, interest from Newcastle United has emerged. He has inquired about the terms of the deal and tried to understand the financial situation involved.

The Magpies cannot attract the striker. Even if they can hand him regular football, he is still keen to play in the Champions League. Eddie Howe’s team will not play any European football next season, making them less attractive.

As a result, the forward could seriously consider staying in Turin.

Deal is risky for Newcastle United

Dusan Vlahovic’s goalscoring abilities can never be doubted. His performance against Lecce was brilliant. Even when Juve struggled to serve under Max Allegri, he still managed to score goals.

His fitness has not been that good. Muscle injuries have increased – as is evident from the ongoing campaign. Therefore Newcastle United should think carefully.

Even if Vlahovic is available for free, he is still in a position to command a high salary. Their group will demand large commissions, as well as player sign-on bonuses.

newcastle united FC Porto have been linked with interest in winger Oscar Pietuszewski in recent weeks, but the player’s camp now appear keen to calm expectations surrounding a summer transfer.

The 17-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable start to life in Portugal since arriving from Jagiellonia in January. Pietuszewski already has 15 appearances, three goals and two assists for Porto, helping the club win the Portuguese title before he was even 18 years old.

Those performances immediately put him on the radar of several European clubs. Newcastle United were recently nominated Between the sides monitoring the winger, with manchester united, liverpool, manchester city And chelsea.

However, according to the player’s agent, an immediate move away from Porto would not make sense.

“Complete madness”

As relayed to ball In Portugal, agent Mariusz Piekarski insisted that Pietuszewski planned to stay at Porto next season despite the increased attention.

“I think he will stay at Porto for another season,” Piekarski said. “There remains a lot of interest, but we have no plans to change clubs. That would be complete madness.”

The agent made it clear that the current priority is development rather than a quick transfer to one of the richest clubs in Europe.

“Oscar feels very good in Porto. He is happy and gaining experience.” he explained.

“Maybe in a year, after another season in the Portuguese league and playing in the UEFA Champions League, there will be a re-evaluation and he can think about what to do next.”

Piekarski also stressed that there is no specific time frame for the departure.

“Still, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’ll have to go in a year. Maybe in two years.”

Porto is seen as the ideal next step

Reports in Portugal have already stated that the club are preparing a new contract for Oscar Pietuszewski when he turns 18 on May 20. The deal is expected to extend his stay until 2031 and could also include an increase to his current €60m (£52m) release clause.

From the player’s camp, there seems to be complete agreement with that viewpoint.

Pietuszewski has quickly become a key player under manager Francesco Farioli, his aggressive dribbling and direct style making him one of the breakout stories in Portugal during the second half of the season.

The winger puts up strong attacking numbers on average, while also showing impressive intensity on the ball. That combination has helped to increase interest from clubs like Newcastle.

School exams after graduation ceremony

Piekarski also revealed an unusual detail from the player’s recent program after Porto secured the league title.

The young player went back to Poland immediately after the ceremony to complete his secondary school exams.

“There were fears about how school, final exams and the Oscars would combine everything with FC Porto, but everything worked out well,” The agent said.

“They played at 9:30 pm on a Sunday and had final exams in the morning. I booked a jet to Modlin airport and had a driver waiting there so he could take a quick shower and go straight to the exam.”

At the moment, despite interest from Newcastle and increasing attention from across Europe, both Porto and the player’s representatives are convinced that staying where he is is the next wise move.

We’ve reached the slow part of the offseason, where the remaining veterans are still hoping to land one of the 90 roster spots on one of the 32 NFL teams. One team that has undergone significant change after hiring a new head coach, the New York Giants, has been a popular destination for some.

We’ve seen past greats come out and say they would love to play for new coach John Harbaugh. It also stars Jason Pierre-Paul. But it turns out, he’s not the only former Giants franchise icon who wants to re-join Big Blue for the 2026 season.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has also been vocal about returning to the NFL after spending 2025 out of the game. But OBJ doesn’t want to join just any team; He wants to play for the Giants.

Still, like Sports IllustratedIn Albert Breer’s opinion, the idea of ​​adding Beckham to the team may actually be better than not actually adding him to the team.

“Do I think this could be a really good story about a guy who wants to play football again? I do. And I’m willing to be that. But let’s not turn it into something it’s not.”

Breyer reveals several truths about where the 33-year-old receiver is in his career. Not only did Beckham not play football last season, but he also hasn’t had a 1,000-yard season since 2019, the year before he was traded to the Giants.

it gets worse.

Beckham hasn’t played a game since 2023 where he topped 20 yards. In other words, it’s hard to imagine that a young player who may be more equipped to help on special teams wouldn’t be a more ideal long-term fit for a veteran team that already has its top four receivers on the roster.

There are many links connecting Danny Rohl ranger people With a move for Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson in recent weeks.

The Scotland international has not always been a regular in Serie A this season. Despite being club captain throughout the campaign, the Rangers target played 24 times. Manager Vincenzo Italiano used him as a regular player in the Europa League, where the midfielder played every single game.

The former Aberdeen man remains an important team player for the Rossoblu, who rely on him especially during big games.

Now, it is becoming clear that Rangers may not be on Ferguson’s transfer agenda.

Agent Ferguson talks transfer

Lewis Ferguson’s agent Bill McMurdo has spoken tutomercatoweb Regarding the 26-year-old’s situation at Bologna and his plans, and it appears they don’t involve Ibrox and Rangers.

The outlet asked McMurdo about the possibility of a renewal at the Italian side. he replied: “Lewis has two years left on his contract. We will be meeting with the club soon to assess whether they want to offer him a contract extension or let it expire.”

Speaking about a possible transfer from Bologna, the agent discouraged suggestions of a transfer to Rangers. He made it clear that Ferguson wants to play at the highest level and is ready for the Premier League

“Luis is ready to play for one of the so-called big Italian clubs if they show interest in him and Bologna is ready to let him leave. He wants to play at the highest level and continue developing his career.”

McMurdo revealed that his client would only play in the top five European leagues.

“He will consider offers from any of the top five football countries, with Italy and England being his first choices. Lewis is very happy to stay in Bologna, but he is equally ready to take on any new challenges to further his career.”

“However, any move must be beneficial to all parties.”

Rangers transfer always a long shot

Lewis Ferguson is easily capable of playing in the Premier League. Their stature has grown to the point where they pay more than Rangers and perhaps offer an even bigger platform than Danny Rohl’s team.

The Rossoblu have developed a habit of selling their best players to England. Dan Ndoye finished at Nottingham Forest last year, a year after Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori also finished in the Premier League.

It is natural for there to be constant discussion about a Scottish player in his country. This will continue to be the case even if the Bologna star ends up in England.

But Ferguson ending up at Rangers soon appears to be a dream inspired by his uncle Barry Ferguson, who has spoken up about the Scotland international in recent weeks.

chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur And Manchester United Sporting Clube de Portugal have held exploratory talks with the agents of star Maxi Araújo about a move.

A Bola report said that the 26-year-old’s talent This season of the Champions League has generated a high level of interest.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United call

The newspaper states that Maxi Araújo’s impressive performances in the Champions League this season, where he has shown ‘quality in transition and defensive solidity’, have elevated the winger’s status.

Atlético de Madrid is at the forefront of pursuing him. He has been given ‘priority option’ status for Diego Simeone’s side. But the Spaniards know there is strong interest in him.

chelseaTottenham and Manchester United are keen on the Premier League. Juventus is also in contact. All concerned parties have held ‘exploratory talks’ with the player’s agents.

All interested parties want to secure priority status with Sporting president Frederico Varandas and want to ‘avoid price inflation’. The growing concern is that there will be an auction and it will be ‘frantic’ during the summer.

€80m asking price

Sporting will start the summer by asking to meet the release clause of Maxi Araújo. It is currently set at €80m. Its purpose is to warn interested parties that they will not sell it cheap.

The Portuguese side want to keep the left-back but know interest will be ‘intense’. They are almost accepting that they will have to sell. Whatever the price, they will make a huge profit on a player who will cost them €13.7m in 2024.

Atlético de Madrid are currently the front-runners in the race for his signature. He has a clear desire for Diego Simeone. But there is competition from the Premier League. Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United are already in contact with his agents.

Whether any of those three will pay Sporting’s wishes remains to be seen. But talks with his agents in Portugal are being seen as a sign of his increasing interest.

tottenham Defender Luka Vuckovic wants to move on this summer even if Spurs manage to stay in the Premier League.

Sport reports that his agentPini Zahawi is already working to drum up interest. They are currently trying to talk Barcelona to a move for the 19-year-old.

tottenham’s future uncertain

The newspaper reports that Luka Vuckovic’s future will be decided in the coming weeks. He is currently a man in demand after an impressive season on loan at HSV Hamburg from Tottenham.

He has become one of the breakout stars of the Bundesliga and is one of the ‘most sought-after defenders’ on the market.

His agent, Pini Zahavi, was in Barcelona this week and met with the club on Friday to discuss various business. He is ‘putting pressure’ on the Catalans to sign the Tottenham defender. For now, Barcelona’s focus is elsewhere.

He will also face resistance from Tottenham, who do not want to sell the youngster this summer. Whether they will have any say or not is another matter.

€15m to €60m

Luka Vuckovic is an in-demand figure and his value has increased from €15m to €60m this season. Spurs paid €11 million, so be prepared to make a huge profit in any sale.

His future will likely depend on what happens with Tottenham this season. If they are removed, there is a possibility of mass migration. Vuckovic will be among those thinking of leaving.

In fact, Sport reports that no matter what happens with Tottenham, he wants to leave. That’s why their representatives are working and putting pressure on Barcelona to make a bid. For now, the Catalans are protesting. They would prefer to spend big money on a more experienced defender if the need arises.

However, this is an opinion that may change. and together Pini Zahawi is at his best Behind the scenes, there’s a good chance they suddenly decide Vuckovic is the guy they want to move on.

liverpoolAlexis McAllister has not had his best campaign with the Premier League this season.

The Reds began their title defense with five consecutive wins. Since then, they have won 12 of their last 30 league matches.

Liverpool are now fourth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Aston Villa and will finish trophy-less this season.

Last month, Paris Saint-Germain ousted the English club from the Champions League. After abolition, the Argentina international said He is unhappy because he was expecting a successful campaign for Liverpool.

McAllister has been one of the players to come under criticism and it has led to suggestions that his future at Anfield is uncertain.

Agent sends message to Liverpool fans

winwin Alexis met with McAllister’s father Carlos, who is also the Liverpool man’s agent.

The representative says there have been no talks with any other club over a possible transfer of the 27-year-old player. He also revealed that Arne Slot’s side have not contacted him to talk about a new contract.

He said: “Alexis’s contract runs until June 2028, and so far, we have not been in public talks with any other club.

“We believe the club’s fans deserve that level of respect from the player. To date, the club has not negotiated with us regarding a contract renewal.”

The World Cup winner graduated from Boca Juniors’ youth system. He spent three years with them before joining Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2019.

two months ago, The Reds player said He would “love” to return to River Plate at some point in the future.

What next for Mac Allister and Liverpool?

The English club’s immediate focus is securing Champions League qualification and then working on rebuilding their squad over the summer.

Alexis McAllister will be looking to finish with a stellar performance and then join the Argentina squad for the World Cup.

His contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is worth €80 million. If the Reds plan to extend his contract, it is unlikely to be discussed until after the World Cup.

The South American has played 52 matches this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.

crystal Palace Fenerbahce are keen to sign goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who is now on loan at Dinamo Zagreb.

Earlier this week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Croatia That Crystal Palace can ‘satisfy’ both Fenerbahçe’s €5m price tag and the stopper’s wage demands.

The same source also said the 31-year-old could move to England to join the Eagles in the summer.

Livakovic lost prominence at Fenerbahçe following Ederson’s arrival last summer and joined the Croatian club on loan in January. The move has helped him enjoy regular minutes again and is now attracting interest.

Crystal Palace’s interest backed

The Croatian international’s performances may have convinced Dinamo Zagreb to keep him while there are other clubs in the picture.

is according to sports newsJoe supports Crystal Palace’s interest and says the Eagles ‘want him’. He could earn more by switching to Selhurst Park rather than extending his stay.

The stopper’s permanent exit will net Fenerbahçe around €5 million and save on wages [€5m until 2028]. In case of a new loan, the Yellow Canaries want the club to cover his entire salary.

Oliver Glasner’s side can meet the demands set by both Fenner and the player. On the other hand, the Croatian club wants to sign him without compensation.

Sportske Novosti also spoke to the player’s agent Andy Barra and discussed his future plans. He confirmed an upcoming visit to Istanbul to conduct transfer talks with the Turkish club.

“Livakovic is ready to make concessions to Dinamo, as he has already done. But he cannot persuade Fener to let him go without a fee. Or for little money, when they have much bigger offers for him,” He said.

“To be honest, many clubs are calling, they are interested in Dominic; he is a goalkeeper at his peak. He is going to the World Cup, he is playing great for Dinamo… But to be honest, we have not talked about anything concrete yet.”

“He himself told me to wait until the league is over, so that Dinamo can also try to win the cup. Then he and I will get on the plane and go to Istanbul for talks with the Turks. After that meeting, we will be in a better position with respect to Dinamo. Because Dinamo is also in the running.”

Eagles can meet fee demand

The representative says the Istanbul club will not let him go by terminating his contract.

He also insists that Dinamo Zagreb cannot keep him without paying compensation. This could come as an incentive for Crystal Palace to meet the fee demanded.

Bara explained: “Of course, he won’t stay! The Turks will never accept it. He can’t do it. It’s impossible to do business with Fenerbahçe without compensation. But no one from Dinamo has called me yet and said they won’t give compensation.

“I think it’s still a bit early. I think Maksimir is also waiting for the end of the season, he wants to see who he will sell. Maybe if they earn €15m, Modri ​​will sell to Belje.

“Then they can have compensation for Livakovic, maybe they say they are willing to pay €2.5m, let’s try to complete the transfer. Of course, even this should not be enough, if a club offers Fenerbahçe €4, 5 or 6m.”

Contracts, prices and statistics

Dominik Livakovic has kept five clean sheets and conceded 16 goals in 14 matches for Dinamo Zagreb.

His contract at Fenerbahçe expires in 2028 and is worth €4m transfer market.

Crystal Palace and the Croatian club will have to wait until he returns from talks with his parent club.

Arne Slott’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has hinted that there will be ‘a lot of changes’ liverpool After admitting that signing the deal with the Reds this summer was the biggest moment of his career.

ESPN Netherlands has an interview Today with the Brazilian agent. She discusses a variety of topics including the slot situation at Liverpool.

liverpool summer changes

The Dutch coach is facing an interesting summer, with a large portion of Liverpool fans wanting to see him replaced at the helm.

It has been a difficult year for the Liverpool manager, with Liverpool currently 18 points behind leaders Arsenal after offering a non-existent defense of the title last season.

This comes despite a massive summer in which the Reds spent a record amount of money to reshape the squad with major additions. However, reports from England have indicated that Slott retains the confidence of the club hierarchy. Unless there is a major change, he will remain at Anfield.

This is despite connecting to Ajax. Recent reports have indicated that the Dutch giants have made an offer to the Liverpool manager.

Pimenta would not comment on that. But he hinted that ‘there will definitely be a lot of changes’ at Liverpool and Ajax.

“Ajax is an important club, although it is certainly not a big club like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.” He said.

“But for Brazil, Ajax is a very important club because it is a buying club. And we (Brazil) are an exporting country.”

Arne Slott contract negotiations

Instead, Pimenta preferred to focus on Arne Slot’s initial move to Liverpool in the summer of 2024. According to him, this move was the biggest and most important step in his career so far.

“It was really incredible,” He added.

“Imagine: I grew up in Brazil, where I followed Liverpool from a distance, during a season when you thought: Wow, look at Liverpool! And suddenly you’re sitting there negotiating the manager’s contract. I think it was one of the most influential moments of my career, yes.”

The focus now is on whether further contract negotiations are to take place. With only one year left on his deal, Slott finds himself in a precarious situation.

Whether he gets an extension or not will certainly depend on how next season goes. At the moment, there certainly aren’t many Liverpool fans who would hand it over.

Barcelona has the opportunity to sign chelseaWesley Fofana in the summer.

The La Liga side are looking to sign a new centre-back and the Chelsea player could be an option.

Over the past few weeks, the Spanish media have talked about Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni as Barcelona’s main target.

today’s sports world Bastoni has been left disappointed by reports that the Catalan club have cooled on this option. The newspaper also said that other centre-backs are also on their list.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Romero is an alternative to Bastoni.

Chelsea players in Barcelona’s list

Hansi Flick’s side may also consider signing Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana. Journalist Sascha Tavolieri is reporting this in his column sky sport ch.

He added that the 25-year-old’s agent has offered him to Barcelona, ​​who are studying the possibility of signing him.

Barça are looking for a left-footed centre-back, while also exploring options for a right-footed defender, and the France international fits into the latter category. His representative has already held talks with the Blaugrana.

The Camp Nou side prefer to sign the former Leicester City man on loan with an option to buy, in order to ease the immediate financial burden.

The Premier League side are ‘not opposed’ to the idea of ​​parting ways with him. However, the Blues are considering a permanent transfer and want at least €30m.

Despite Fofana’s agent offering him to Barcelona, ​​the difference in what both clubs want could jeopardize the deal.

Contract, price and agent information

transfer market Wesley Fofana is valued at €28m, with a contract until 2029. His highest value in 2022 was €58m, a month after his transfer to Stamford Bridge.

Agency deal with my agent [DWMA] Representing the French and also representing Belgian players such as Benfica’s Dodi Lueckebakio and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Arthur Theeter.

Fofana has been out of action for 696 days due to injuries since joining the Club World Cup in August 2022. This could be one reason why Chelsea is looking to remove him.

near barcelona Tottenham HotspurLuka Vuckovic is on their target list for the summer.

The Premier League side allowed the centre-back to join Hamburg SV on loan in August, and he has starred for them this season.

In fact, the Tottenham man has been a standout player for the Bundesliga side, where he has made 26 appearances.

The centre-back made 25 of those starts before suffering a setback in April. He regained full fitness and came off the bench in his team’s 2–1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hamburg lost three matches and conceded nine goals in the 19-year-old’s absence. This will give an idea of ​​his importance for the German club. His performances have attracted the attention of several European sides, including Barcelona.

Barcelona approach for Tottenham man

sky germany The La Liga winners have set their sights on Luka Vuckovic in their efforts to improve the defence, according to reports.

Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni is the main target for the centre-back position and last week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Romero is their plan B.

It is unclear where the Croatia international stands in the pecking order, but the Catalan club have held first talks with his representatives. Agent Pini Zahavi, who also represents both Robert Lewandowski and Hansi Flick, manages the defender.

Hamburg SV have a desire to extend their stay after this season. he has talked about his dream Of playing with his brother Mario, who is in the Bundesliga team.

He is serving a doping ban until November and extending Luka’s loan stay could help him achieve his dream next season. However, this will not be easy given the interest from top clubs.

Sorting out Spurs’ future needs

As things stand, Luka Vuckovic’s future after this season remains uncertain and is unlikely to be at Hamburg SV.

last month, the guard said When asked about his future plans, he said he has a contract at Tottenham Hotspur until 2030.

Vuskovic’s Agent Pini Zahavi insisted A decision on his future will be made at the end of the season. Roberto De Zerbi could push for a transfer if his side are relegated.

Spurs have the opportunity to make money from his sale, but it is not yet clear what their plans are for him. There should be more clarity in the coming weeks and months.

Interim Minnesota Vikings general manager Rob Brzezinski spent four of the team’s top five selections in the 2026 NFL Draft on defensive prospects. This comes after the Vikings had the seventh-best defense in points allowed last season.

Their heavy defensive emphasis, spending five of the team’s nine picks on guards, suggests that Minnesota is satisfied with its offense. Although the team has since indicated that it was not their intention to make the top half of the draft so defensive-focused, the results are what they are. While the injection of talent was also much needed, especially after the departures of Harrison Smith, Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, the Vikings also have a significant need to focus on offense after losing receiver Jalen Naylor.

recently, athleticVikings insider Alec Lewis went so far as to call the team’s WR3 position a “major roster hole.”

The Vikings top the offense with one of the NFL’s best receiver tandems in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Still, the rest of the team’s receivers have combined for three receptions, all of which belong to Tai Felton, who is set to enter his sophomore season. That’s why Lewis predicts the Vikings will address the receiver position by signing a veteran who will compete with Felton for WR3 duties in Minnesota.

As mentioned, the Vikings recently brought in former San Francisco 49ers receiver Jaune Jennings for a workout and a two-day visit. But he left the team facilities without a contract. The 28-year-old’s signature remains in the game.

Other potential Vikings free agent receiver targets could include Odell Beckham Jr., who previously won a Super Bowl with head coach Kevin O’Connell on the Los Angeles Rams. DeAndre Hopkins has also expressed interest in reuniting with Kyler Murray in Minnesota. The Vikings could also turn to the trade market to address what appears to be a major weakness in an offense that otherwise looks set.

Manchester United Now edging closer to a clear decision on Manuel Ugarte, the latest developments suggest his exit is not only likely, but is being actively worked on behind the scenes.

The 24-year-old has struggled to establish himself since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain for around €50m (£43m) in 2024. Despite his reputation as one of South America’s most reliable defensive midfielders, his role at Old Trafford has steadily diminished.

This season, he has made 22 appearances in all competitions, but only eight of those have come as a starter. He also did not leave the bench in United’s last two matches under Michael Carrick.

Lack of participation has shaped both his own stance And the club’s thinking is moving towards the summer. As we have already reported, a decision has been made. Now, reports from Uruguay say it’s just a matter of time.

Manchester United is now pushing for a sale

Earlier reports There has been speculation about the terms of reaching a deal, but the latest information suggests the process is already underway.

According to a Uruguayan journalist rhodri vazquezUgarte’s time at the club is effectively coming to an end, with talks set to accelerate his departure in the coming days. “His days at Manchester United are numbered”He writes.

His representative, George Chizen, is expected to meet with Jorge Mendes to work out next steps.

Importantly, Manchester United are targeting a permanent sale rather than another loan. The expected fee is around €28 million (£24 million), a significant drop from the amount paid two years ago. This figure reflects both his limited role and the club’s desire to progress quickly.

From a squad perspective, this aligns with a broader reset. Ugarte has not become a vital part of Carrick’s plans and retaining him would only reduce flexibility in the market.

An environment of competition is being created across Europe

According to the report, there remains interest from across Europe in the Manuel Ugarte position and the list of suitors is evolving.

Napoli are now strongly involved, following previous reports from Uruguay that they were preparing a move. However, they are not alone. Also, Atletico Madrid has now emerged as another major contender, giving a different dimension to the race.

This follows the earlier interest juventusWho was already monitoring the midfielder and was planning to track him down during his international duty. The presence of multiple clubs increases Manchester United’s chances of securing a quick deal.

There is also an important player-driven factor. Ugarte has already done rejected viewpoint From less competitive leagues, priority is being given to making the step up to Europe’s top competitions. Italy and Spain both fit that profile.

what happens next

Manuel Ugarte wants clarity before the World Cup and that deadline is now shaping talks.

Manchester United is ready to do business, the players are ready to go, and the agents are starting to make moves. Those three elements rarely align so clearly unless a transfer is imminent.

The fee may still change depending on interest, especially if more clubs formally enter the race. Still, the direction is now clear.

For Manchester United, it looks like a case of quickly cutting losses and reallocating resources. For Ugarte, this is an opportunity to reset his trajectory at a club where he can play regularly again.

After gutting the roster and cutting millions in salary, the Miami Dolphins got much better during the 2026 NFL Draft. The Dolphins included 13 players in the draft, but that doesn’t mean the team addressed all of their weaknesses and needs.

Shortly after the draft ended, the Dolphins were already linked to one of the top remaining free agents.

according to miami heraldBarry Jackson The Dolphins have shown interest in wide receiver Jaun Jennings since the start of free agency. Nevertheless, there is no indication that the interests are mutual.

“In fact, according to a source, the Dolphins – since the start of free agency – have expressed interest in 49ers free agent receiver Jaune Jennings,” Jackson wrote. “But they don’t have the money to satisfy his contractual wishes, and Sullivan has said Miami is not going to spend big in free agency after June 1.”

The former San Francisco 49ers receiver is currently visiting with the Minnesota Vikings, and is expected to stay through Wednesday as well. Chances are, the Vikings will make every effort to ensure that Jennings does not leave their facility without a signed contract.

Come 4pm ET on April 29, teams will be able to sign free agents without impacting their future compensatory selection formula. This could be just what teams like the Vikings have been waiting for, but the real question may center on how much money Jennings is asking for.

Jennings, 28, recorded 643 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He’ll likely play a much bigger role in the Dolphins’ offense than the Vikings, where he’ll be behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nevertheless, the Dolphins are expected to struggle in a rebuilding season, while the Vikings are expected to compete for a playoff spot again. This could be just what Jennings is looking for.

Manchester City There could be an option for Cruz Azul’s Eric Lira in the summer.

city ​​football group [CFG] He has many clubs in his stable including Manchester City.

Last week, the Pumas UNAM manager Efrain Juarez reveals The owners of Manchester City were sending their officials to Mexico.

He said that CFG representatives asked about some youth and first-team players from his side and that they would also consider other Mexican clubs.

CFG scout Luciano Zavagno recently traveled to Mexico to watch the midfielder in live action for Cruz Azul.

Manchester City transfer possibility

record Mexico reports Luciano Zavagno was in attendance at Cruz Azul’s home stadium, Estadio Banorte. He followed the player closely in his team’s 4–1 win over Club Necaxa and Eric Lira played the full 90 minutes.

The official representing the Manchester City owners was accompanied by the player’s agent Mauricio Medrano. The latter posted a photo with Zavagno on social media.

After the match, the Mexico international said he wanted to move to Europe after the World Cup.

“I’m working towards it. Even if it’s just rumors, I want to make it a reality.” he told TUDN broadcast by Record.

“First of all, I had to win this match, and then I want to get on the roster. I’m sure Mexico will make history, and I’m sure that not only me, but everyone who is involved will make a significant leap, and those of us who are here will raise our hand so that there are more of us in Europe.”

The record suggests that the 25-year-old could move to either the Premier League or La Liga.

CFG has four clubs in Europe: Manchester City, Verona, Lommel SK and Troyes. With Lera looking to move to Europe, Pep Guardiola’s side remain an option for him in the next window.

Contracts, stats and prices

Eric Lira’s preferred role is as a defensive midfielder and he can also operate as a centre-back. He played 3,580 minutes this season and scored one goal.

The Mexican’s contract expires in 2029 and is worth €12m transfer market.

of liverpool The pursuit of RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande looks to be on the rise, with Arne Slot’s side closer than ever to making a move for his potential Mohamed Salah replacement.

BILD reports that the RedsThe 19-year-old has met with agents of Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a summer transfer.

Liverpool and others are watching

The German newspaper reports that after a ‘strong debut season’ in which Yann Diomande has scored 12 goals and seven assists so far, the Ivorian has ‘attracted the attention’ of top clubs.

RB Leipzig want to keep him for at least another year, barring an ‘extreme offer’. However, at least people at the club believe it will happen because Diomande is ‘very good’.

They have set a price tag of €100m for the 19-year-old. But that’s not discouraging his agents or his supporters. The former, Roc Nation, are already actively working on the transfer.

According to BILD, there have been meetings with Liverpool and PSG, both of whom are ‘particularly interested’. Leipzig have not received any concrete offers yet. Meanwhile, Manchester United have reduced their interest.

A report earlier this month said Liverpool have already expressed formal interest In winger. Now they have talked to his agents.

Sign now, play later

One possible option is for a club to sign Yann Diomande this summer for a ‘slightly lower price’ but move him next season. However, the fee should still be at least €100 million.

This would give Leipzig another year with their star player, especially in the Champions League. Talks on extending Diomande’s deal are not on the table at the moment. Leipzig consider a new deal to benefit only their agent, and no one else.

It seems the Bundesliga side are aware of Roc Nation’s transfer efforts. And, for now, don’t see the point of a new deal or trying to get him signed.

Of course, the situation may change in the coming weeks and months. But after talks with Liverpool and PSG, the trend appears to be towards a summer transfer.

Manchester United He is in the mix for Juventus’ Taun Koopminers, who has never managed to make an impression in Turin.

the old lady paid €52 million to sign the Dutchman from Atalanta in 2024. Since then, his career has declined and the midfielder has never been at his best.

Under Luciano Spalletti, he had a renaissance of sorts, operating at left centre-back in the back three. This has not proven to be enough, as the Italian has only recently started using him in midfield, causing him to sit on the bench twice in his last three Serie A games.

sports witness The Premier League’s interest in the Koopminers has been covered before. That was before he moved to Turin and was thriving in an advanced role at Atalanta.

Now, Manchester United has emerged as a contender for him.

The Red Devils face Galatasaray in the competition

tuttosport Take a closer look at the Netherlands international, who is one of the candidates to leave Juve in the summer.

To avoid capital loss, Spalletti’s side wants at least €30m for exit clearance. The big challenge for them is to find fans after a difficult two seasons.

The newspaper believes that Manchester United is willing to take the risk. They will compete with Galatasaray for Koopmans, whose agent Bart Baving was in Turin on Monday to clarify his client’s future.

The Bianconeri believe his resurgence in a defensive role was only temporary. They are looking to improve their midfield next summer and feel the 28-year-old’s departure will give them enough space to sign a potential replacement.

Spalletti is of the same opinion, as evidenced by how he benched the Koopminers for league games this month.

Our Opinion: The deal would be a big gamble

In general, there has been little doubt about Koopmeiners’ technical ability since his time at AZ Alkmaar.

At Atalanta, he played in a very specific man-for-man system, which singled out technically rich players. This helped the Koopminers to score more and utilize their strengths in the final third.

Now, he finds himself confused and unsure of his best position. In the Netherlands, he was often a defensive midfielder and also operated at number eight.

That’s why this deal would represent a huge risk for Manchester United.

Michael Carrick’s side are in need of a midfield signing and even though Koopmeiners will add technical ability, they should ideally invest in a player whose stock is rising. Despite his obvious potential, the Dutchman’s stock is falling.

With Kyle Busch’s Cup Series win streak now reaching triple digits, his contract year is likely to end as he misses the win for the third consecutive season. With Richard Childress’s departure from Racing feeling inevitable, it appears the future Hall of Famer may discover in NASCAR’s silly season that he has no better options.

on the latest episode of teardownJordan Bianchi of The Athletic said that Busch will have to settle for the same situation he is in now as he will not have the opportunity to join one of NASCAR’s four best teams.

“Let’s say he decides to go somewhere else and you look at the landscape. He’s not going to a big team. He’s not going to Hendrick Motorsports, he’s not going to 23XI, he’s not going to go back to Joe Gibbs Racing. Like, what are his options? You start to look at where the landscape is and it’s going to be a similar situation where it’s a team where, yes, they have some potential and promise, but they also Is there something uncle?”

RELATED: Kyle Busch hits back at Denny Hamlin

Let’s start with 23XI Racing. Bubba Wallace, who is eighth in points, is already under contract for the 2027 season in the No. 23 car. Meanwhile, reporting has indicated that top prospect Corey Haim will replace Riley Herbst in the No. 35 car next season. As for Tyler Reddick, who has won five times in nine races this season, co-owner Denny Hamlin has made it clear that a contract extension is coming, even if it’s an expensive one.

As far as Joe Gibbs Racing is concerned, they are very pleased with the results delivered by Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs. While a plan will need to be made as to who drives the No. 11 car after Hamlin retires after the 2027 season, all signs point to it being Brent Cruz.

RELATED: Denny Hamlin gives clear message on Kyle Busch’s struggles

Busch won’t be moving to Team Penske, which has had its own issues of inconsistency this season, and Hendrick wants a long-term option for the No. 48 car if he’s going to replace Alex Bowman. Due to this the top four teams were out of the table.

Spire Motorsports seemed the most logical choice for Busch coming into the season. However, Carson Hocevar is the future face of the team, and Daniel Suarez is exceeding expectations for them by driving the No. 7 car this year.

RELATED: NASCAR Cup Series all-time win list, including Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin

It’s also worth noting that teammate Austin Dillon has outperformed Busch this season, and the No. 3 car is the only one to drive a win for RCR in the last few years. So, while he almost certainly won’t be behind the wheel of the No. 8 car in 2027, Busch could end up joining a team where the results will be exactly the same. If this happens, the conversation may focus on whether or not it is time for them to retire.

Radu Dragusin’s spell has been mixed tottenhamNow, efforts to help him make an exit are gaining momentum after he joined from Genoa in 2024.

In January, sports witness Italian interest in the Defender was closely covered. AS Roma were particularly pushing for his signature, as AC Milan had also attempted a move.

Neither succeeded, as Tottenham did not back down from their position on a permanent deal. No interested Serie A side could afford the requested €25 million, only wanting an initial loan.

Things haven’t really changed for Dragusin since January. He has started six Premier League games, but has been placed on the bench in the last three fixtures.

Now, people around the Romanians are pushing for an exit.

Dragusin is interested in transfer

spotmedia The report from Romania states that the centre-back has lost patience with the London club. He is very disappointed with the proposed playing time, with the last time the league games will start on 15 March.

As a result, the 24-year-old has informed his agent Florin Mané of his desire to find a new club.

Negotiations are already underway with clubs from Italy and Germany, the specific names of the teams are unknown at the moment. But it is very clear that he will be leaving Tottenham, as the player is ‘unhappy with his situation’.

Spurs are also, at their end, set to part ways in the summer. He feels that his returns since joining have been very poor and this is forcing him to evaluate the sale.

Dragusin is better off in a back-up role

Dragusin has been a squad player since joining Tottenham. The main reason for this is the presence of Mickey Van de Ven and Christian Romero.

The way he performed in Genoa, it would be fair to say that he is better off being a back-up. Although he is not excellent on the ball, Dragusin’s strength has always been in his recovery and heading ability.

Only glimpses of this have been seen at Tottenham. He is still only 24 years old and working towards his peak. This makes 2026 the best time for Dragusin to get a permanent transfer.

celtic Manager Martin O’Neill has Kieran Tierney and Marcelo Saraschi as his two left-backs at Celtic Park.

Without any option or obligation to buy, Saracchi moved to Celtic on loan from Boca Juniors in August 2025.

Last month, the 27-year-old’s agent, Marcelo Tejera, revealed that Celtic have expressed a desire to purchase their client. He also confirmed his meeting with him.

That time, He said: : “I have planned a meeting with the general manager of Celtic because they are also looking to buy out his contract.”

The representative has also confirmed interest in the Celtic man from unnamed clubs from England, Brazil and Mexico.

It is unclear whether he had any meetings with O’Neill’s side regarding the fullback’s future.

Celtic player’s future uncertain

bolavip Cover the latest on Marcelo Saraschi, who is struggling with hamstring problems at Celtic.

Since moving to Glasgow, he has already missed 79 days due to injuries, and this has limited his playing time for the Scottish club.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 15
• Start: 8
• Total minutes played: 610
• Minutes per game: 41

The Uruguay international has played 872 minutes in 21 matches for Celtic so far in all competitions. The outlet has made it clear that this is their own information and report that he will not be at Celtic Park after this season.

That’s because there is ‘very little chance’ that Martin O’Neill’s side would be interested in opening talks with Boca Juniors to extend his stay. Following his loan spell with the Bhoys, the defender is set to return to the South American club.

Saracchi’s agent seems to be aware of Celtic’s plans and so, he is planning a trip to Europe. They are likely to meet their client and then explore options for the summer.

Their representatives on March 6, Marcelo Tejera confirmed Both Nacional de Fútbol and Club Atlético Peñarol showed interest in him in the winter market. However, the transfer did not go through as Celtic did not cooperate.

Our opinion: Celtic need a new left-back

With Celtic deciding not to extend Marcelo Saracchi’s stay, Kieran Tierney will be the other recognized left-back in the team. The former Arsenal player played 3,342 minutes in 46 matches this season. However,

However, Tierney has had injury problems over the years and therefore, Celtic will have to bring in a new left-back to provide him cover and competition.

Thomas Frank’s agent says his client is enjoying life with his family and friends since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in February.

Spurs parted ways with Anze Postecoglou in June 2025, days after helping them win the Europa League.

The Premier League team appointed the Dane as his successor, but things did not work out.

Two months ago, Tottenham sent Frank out and brought in Igor Tudor. The latter has also left the club, and Roberto De Zerbi took over from him on 31 March.

Frank managed 38 matches during his tenure at the north London club. His record with them is as follows:

• Match: 38
• Win: 13
• Draw: 10
• Defeat: 15
• Goals scored: 62
• Target allowed: 54

Frank’s situation after his exit from Tottenham

Wednesday edition of spare magazine There’s a report on what Thomas Frank has been up to since leaving Spurs.

He has not given any interviews or appeared on podcasts or any shows to discuss his exit from Tottenham Hotspur.

The newspaper points out that it is common for managers to speak out after leaving a club and cites the exits of Frederik Birk and Jakob Nystrup from Brøndby IF and FC Copenhagen respectively earlier this season as examples.

Frank’s silence is ‘somewhat unusual’ as he has already declined four requests from Ekstra Bladet for an interview.

He also contacted the north London club to find out if there is a clause that prevents the 52-year-old from speaking about Tottenham for a specific period. However, there was no response.

The newspaper also contacted his agent Alan Bach regarding Frank’s current condition and lack of interviews.

Responding to that he said: “He’s going to get some rest and meet friends and family. There’s still a little time left for interviews.”

“He is enjoying this time with his family and friends. He has decided to give up alcohol and relax.”

Spurs have not improved since Frank’s departure

last month, Danish press reported Still a worrying issue at Tottenham Hotspur after Frank’s exit.

Spurs now sit 18th in the table and Roberto De Zerbi has six matches to avoid relegation.

everton Juventus winger Eden Zegrova will face competition from Besiktas this summer, who looks set to leave the Italian club.

Fanatic reports that black and white They have set their sights on the Juventus winger as they look for a new signing on the right wing. They are ready to part ways with Milot Rashika and want her replacement.

agents contacted

The Turkish outlet reports that Besiktas have contacted Zegrova’s agent about a move this summer. It is being seen as a ‘surprise move’ by the Super Lig club, and could put them ahead of Everton.

They have inquired with the player’s agents about the terms of the contract. This is the scope of talks and efforts so far. He further added that Zegrova is set to leave Juventus this summer after a difficult year in Turin.

According to the report, the Italian side believe their €14.3m investment last summer has not paid off tuttosport. They had high hopes for the former Lille star but his playing time under Luciano Spalletti has become increasingly limited.

Due to this, both the parties may separate this summer. Besiktas are certainly taking steps to take advantage of this.

Everton’s long-term interest

The interest from the Turkish side would potentially be bad news for Everton. The Toffees have been chasing Eden Zegrova for some time after being first linked End of the January transfer window.

It was later explained that this was David Moyes’ side. had adopted only a very timid attitude For a 27 year old. They now face potential competition from Besiktas, who have already spoken to the winger’s agents.

The Toffees now need to decide if they really want Zegrova or if their focus is elsewhere. This is likely to depend largely on whether they can find another deal for Jack Grealish.

But if they decide not to move quickly, they risk losing to Besiktas in the meantime. The Turkish side are apparently taking the first steps towards signing the Juventus flop this summer.

The drama at Chelsea over Enzo Fernandez’s comments has now calmed down, with his agent admitting his client was wrong.

Top Mercato has a special offer today with Javier Pastore Regarding Fernandez’s situation at Chelsea and efforts to clear the air at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Argentine, peace has now been restored to the club.

An interview created a storm

Enzo Fernandez is currently suspended by Chelsea following an interview that aired while he was on international duty with Argentina.

The Chelsea midfielder admitted that he could see himself staying in Madrid and would like to move to the Spanish city at some point.

Then came those comments Reports in recent weeks have linked him with a move to Real Madrid. Inside Chelsea, his comments were deemed disrespectful and poorly timed, with Liam Rosenior insisting the 25-year-old had crossed a line.

Fernandez was then suspended for their next two matches, causing him to miss the FA Cup win over Port Vale and the upcoming clash with Manchester City.

His agent, Javier Pastore, initially described the decision as fair. He then hinted that Fernandez may consider a move after the 2026 World Cup. However, now his tone has changed.

Agent says no problem

Speaking to Top Mercato at FedEx’s ‘Move Like a Pro’ event in Paris, Javier Pastore revealed that direct talks with Chelsea helped set everything in motion.

“We have already talked about this in recent days,” he said.

“He made these statements without any intention of causing problems at Chelsea. He is the captain, one of the leaders of the team, and he has shown his best form on the pitch this season. He was simply talking about a city.

“Then in a short period of time there were a lot of interviews where he talked about his future. The media mixed things up and started saying he was going to leave Chelsea. There is absolutely nothing to it.”

Pastor stepped forward and confirmed that Chelsea, Enzo and their camp have aligned their positions.

“We are on the same thing with Chelsea. We made peace between Chelsea and the player yesterday and the day before yesterday. There was never really any problem. We have cleared the situation.”

He said, “Whatever happened, happened. We explained to the player that even though he did nothing wrong, he should not have said that.”

“He’s only 25. He’s still young, he still has things to learn. We explained to the club that he said it without any malice, that he made a mistake. He naturally apologized to the club, his teammates, the coach, the sporting director, everyone. We’re all on the same page. We just had to clear up the misunderstanding.”

Full focus on Chelsea

Aston Villa Marcos is working on a deal to sign Senesi on a free transfer but now faces competition Tottenham Hotspur.

The defender’s Bournemouth contract expires in the summer, with the player not renewing his deal. He has impressed in the Premier League this season, playing 30 times.

sports witness Having recently covered how Barcelona are pursuing the target, the Argentine is likely awaiting a formal approach from the Catalan side.

Juventus have already done so, with the defender potentially appealing for a move to Italy.

There are now significant signings from a host of players including Aston Villa and Tottenham.

English clubs are ready to offer salary

tuttosport Today’s report Juve have been tracking Senesi for weeks. They have been in contact with his representatives, as well as showing interest in Leon Goretzka.

Senesi is believed to have informed Bournemouth of his decision to leave. He is now 28 years old and wants the opportunity to play for a top club and potentially earn a higher salary.

The Bianconeri have offered €3 million per season on a four-year deal but that is difficult for Senesi to accept. The main reason for this is that Aston Villa and Tottenham are also keen and are willing to offer €4m per season.

The newspaper believes it will be difficult for the Old Lady to compete, with Borussia Dortmund also offering a high salary.

Money is the only thing that will come down to it, especially since Juve is not guaranteed Champions League football.

Our opinion: Aston Villa could have the upper hand

For largely the same reasons as Juve, Tottenham may not have an advantage in this race. They will not play in Europe next season, with Aston Villa still in the race to qualify for the Champions League.

Villains boast a more stable project under Unai Emery and this could define Senesi’s career.

If Micky Van de Ven leaves Tottenham, Senesi could get more regular football in London. But Spurs have been plagued by instability in recent years.

Argentina would probably want to stay away from this, making Villa Park a more viable destination.

FC Köln sporting director Thomas Kessler has hit back at Said El Mala’s claims chelsea Has been constantly linked with the 19-year-old.

Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger Report Today on the Koln Star, which also includes comments from Kessler, who appears to be frustrated by the constant transfer rumours.

Chelsea’s efforts lead to disappointment

Reports over the past few weeks have repeatedly linked Chelsea with a move for Saeed El Mala. They have come from both Germany and England.

A report from Germany last month The Blues were said to have held concrete talks about signing El Mala this summer.

A week later a second report came out in which it was emphasized that Chelsea were ready to break the asking price To secure El Mala’s signature before the competition. However, Kessler insists that this is not the case.

“We maintain a very trusting and close relationship with Said and his family,” he said.

“At the moment, we have not received any offers from other clubs that we need to seriously consider. The player has also not expressed any desire to engage in discussions with other clubs.”

He then went on to dismiss suggestions that El Mala was being positioned for a Premier League switch:

He added, “Said has made it abundantly clear that his entire focus is currently on FC Köln and his development over the season.”

no agent mandate

Reports in England had suggested that ‘super-agent’ Ali Barat was working on behalf of Koln to bring Saeed El Mala to the Premier League market.

Barat has strong links to England and indeed Chelsea. He negotiated Nicholas Jackson’s move from Stamford Bridge to Bayern Munich last summer.

However, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reports that this is not the case. He says club sources insist that Colon has not authorized Barrat or any other intermediary to represent him in a potential sale.

The German side is refusing to rush into the summer narrative in any way. Kessler is making that point very clear.

“The ball is in 1. FC Köln’s court. Saeed is under contract with us until 2030,” he concluded.

Aston Villa And west ham united Celta Vigo are in the transfer picture to sign Oscar Mingueza.

The right-back joined the La Liga team from Barcelona in 2022 and has been a regular since then.

His contract situation has already attracted the attention of Aston Villa, West Ham and several other clubs.

He has less than three months left on his contract and the Spanish club have offered an extension.

Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Celta Vigo have given up on keeping the 27-year-old.

This is because he changed agents and is now managed by British agency Unique Sports Group. There have been no discussions with their new representatives on contract renewal.

Transfer boost for Aston Villa and West Ham

Sports stadium Cover the latest information on Oscar Mingueza’s future and name Unai Emery’s side and the Hammers.

Celta Vigo has already made renovation proposals worth a total of €4m per year.

Both he and his family are comfortable with their life in Vigo and the club hope this will convince them to extend their stay.

Their sporting director, Marco Garces, told DAZN that the former Barça man has to make a final decision on his future.

La Liga teams will not be able to match what other Premier League clubs have to offer.

“The situation is in his hands. All he knows is that he has an offer from us, and we hope he will take a decision. He has not responded yet.” He said.

Estadio then gives the latest on his suitors and immediately mentions Aston Villa and West Ham United. The Premier League duo, along with Marseille, have been knocking on their door for ‘months’.

Juventus, who failed to sign him in the winter market, are still interested. As well as Serie A teams, Como and Newcastle United are also in the mix.

The Estadio are now insisting Mingueza’s future lies in England, where their new representatives have a firm grip.

Our opinion: Aston Villa may have the edge over West Ham

The Villans are now fourth in the table and five points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool. On the other hand, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are in 18th place, one point behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Aston Villa are favorites to qualify for the Champions League while the London club is struggling to avoid relegation. This, along with the presence of Unai Emery, should give the former an edge over West Ham United.

Aston Villa will face a battle to pry Alejandro Balde from Barcelona this summer, with the left-back not yet considering an exit.

AS report on Defender todayWho is a client of George Mendes. The Portuguese super-agent is preparing for a busy summer at Camp Nou.

The newspaper reports that last year he was sorting out Lamin Yamal’s contract situation, this year other matters will be prioritized. Balde is one of those players whose future needs to be sorted out.

transfer interest every summer

Alejandro Balde Jorge Mendes is the third name on the list. He appears on the transfer list almost every summer and this will be no different.

A report in late March said that Aston VillaManchester City and Manchester United have already made contacts for the 22-year-old.

AS reports that Barcelona would benefit from the sale as one of his options to raise funds for his own business this summer. Transfermarkt currently values ​​him at €55 million, which represents a huge profit for Barcelona on a homegrown player.

The newspaper then added that interest from the two Manchester clubs as well as Aston Villa has ’emerged’ in recent days.

Barcelona is not pushing for a sale

Although the sale of Alejandro Balde would bring money to Barcelona, ​​neither sporting director Deco nor manager Hansi Flick are pushing for a sale. They’re both counting on him moving forward.

The player is also not ready to leave at this time. This could have changed if there was a change in plans regarding his role within the team.

In other words, if his role changes, he will consider his future. This season he has been in the first team 62% of the time in La Liga and featured in 58% of available minutes. He has similar numbers in the Champions League also.

These numbers don’t suggest he’s set in his plans, but it seems like everyone is happy with the situation at the moment. Whether that changes remains to be seen.

But his current deal expires in 2028, so Barcelona need to make a decision this summer. They won’t want a valuable asset entering the final year of his deal next summer.

Despite Barcelona’s claims to be against the sale, the story is being pursued in Spain. From the transfer precedent with the Catalan club, this would mean that they are open to offers but do not want it to be revealed as their consideration.

Aston Villa will be well aware of the situation.

➡️ Summer move appears to be on the agendahttps://t.co/NTiGJc5lXD #avfc

Famalicão defender Ibrahima Ba’s agent Aliouane Seck has responded to transfer interest from other clubs including Aston Villa.

The centre-back joined the Portuguese club on a permanent move in July 2024 and spent his first season with their reserve team. Therefore, he had to wait until the end of that season to make his first-team debut.

Ba has been with the Famalicão’s first team this season and his form has attracted the attention of Aston Villa and others.

The Senegalese has made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Primeira Liga side this season.

His per game statistics in the league are as follows:

• Interception: 1.6
• Tackle: 1.0
• Recovered balls: 3.4
• Dribbled past: 0.06
• Clearance: 4.3
• Blocked Shots: 0.8
• Duel won: 3.9
• Errors in reaching target: 0

Earlier this week, Sport Witness broadcast news Unai Emery’s side and Stade Rennais have both expressed interest in the defender. The same source said FC Porto, Sporting, SC Braga, Benfica and Vitória Guimarães are also interested.

Two days earlier, the Portuguese club rewarded him with a new contract until 2030.

Agent on renewal and future plans

Africa Foot spoke with Ibrahima Ba’s agent Aliyoun Seck to discuss his latest renewal and other topics.

Asked what convinced Ba to sign an extension with Famalicão, he said: “Ibrahima Ba’s contract extension is primarily motivated by a desire for stability and progress. Famalicão offers him an ideal environment to continue developing, with a clear sporting project and real trust of the staff. Ibrahima feels at home here. He gets playing time and responsibilities, which is necessary at this stage of his career.

The outlet reports that Benfica Lisbon, Sporting CP, FC Porto, Vitoria Guimaraes, Aston Villa and Stade Rennais are all ready to sign the 20-year-old.

The agent is not surprised that these clubs are showing interest and will not close the door on a summer exit.

“It’s normal that a player attracts the attention of big clubs with his ability and performances. This shows that he is on the right track. Of course, we are keeping a close eye on the market, but there is no rush. He will finish the season and we will see what happens after that.” Sec explained.

This makes it quite clear that they are almost expecting a transfer in the summer window, or at least making serious efforts towards it.

Our View: Aston Villa Sports Project Key

Despite the renewal, the Premier League team can still snatch Ibrahima Ba from Famalicão in the summer.

To do this, Aston Villa must propose a solid project where the defender can progress and continue his development under Unai Emery.

The manager now has Ezri Konsa, Victor Lindelof, Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres as his four centre-backs at Villa Park. However, the Villans are unlikely to make a move for Ba unless one of the current centre-backs leaves after this season.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin is facing questions about his long-term future, following a difficult season for him and his club.

The centre-back role has seen ups and downs this season. Due to injuries and suspension he was given more minutes for Tottenham, yet performances have been inconsistent. Spurs’ defensive struggles have only increased the headlines, especially as the club is still neck-and-neck in the table.

This background makes his agent’s latest claims particularly interesting, as they suggest Dragusin has already turned down a big opportunity to leave.

romanian outlet iam sport The report states that the Tottenham player’s representative, Florin Mane, has revealed interest from Germany as well as a major offer from Saudi Arabia.

€50m offer rejected without hesitation

Speaking on the IAM Stukan podcast, Florin Mania detailed an approach that would have dramatically changed the defender’s career.

“You want me to tell you something? We refused to pay €50m over five years for Radu. €10m a year.”

The agent revealed that the offer came from Saudi Arabia and was significantly higher than what Dragusin currently earns at Tottenham.

“Someone from Saudi Arabia called us and said they would net us €10m a year to go there. We didn’t even consider it.”

After this he clarified how far the talks could have gone.

“€10m per year? Tell me how many people would reject that. It could have gone up to €15m, even €20m per year. It could have gone up to €100m in five years. I would have taken a commission of €20-30m. But we were not interested.”

For context, Dragusin currently earns around £4.4 million per year at Tottenham. This difference underlines the extent to which the scale was rejected.

Germany’s interest in Tottenham transfer

Radu Dragusin’s agent also confirmed that the defender attracted interest from the Bundesliga.

According to Florin Mané, RB Leipzig made an approach during the winter window. Although no deal was reached, the relationship remains active.

“There was an offer for him from Leipzig in the winter. Now we’ll see if he wants to try again.”

AC Milan Were connected some time ago also. This leaves the door open for a future move within Europe, especially if Dragusin’s situation at Tottenham is not completely stabilized.

What does this mean for Tottenham

Radu Dragusin’s stance, as described by his agent, suggests that money is not currently driving his decisions. Turning down such a lucrative offer points to a desire to succeed at the highest level in Europe.

For Tottenham, this can be seen as a positive. The player appears committed, As he said himselfEven during a difficult season for the club.

However, interest from clubs like RB Leipzig adds another layer. If his performances do not improve, or if Spurs continue to struggle defensively, the situation could rapidly escalate.

However, for now, the message is clear: despite the huge financial temptation, Dragusin has chosen to remain on the European stage and fight for his place in North London.

Tottenham Hotspur have been given a very clear transfer message from Mathis Tell’s camp as fresh claims of a move away from North London begin to circulate again.

The 20-year-old only joined Spurs permanently last summer, signing until 2031, and the transfer was reported to be worth around £30m (€35m) after an first loan fee of around €10m.

But Tell is not a player that Tottenham have brought in for a short-term fix. He was to be part of the club’s next attacking cycle. Yet the season hasn’t really taken off for him. He made 31 appearances in all competitions scoring three goals and one assist, while 24 of those appearances came in the Premier League for 898 minutes.

With Spurs sitting perilously low in the table and Tell still trying to establish himself, it’s not hard to see why the rumors have resurfaced. recent reporting He also hinted at fitness concerns while talking about a thigh problem during the international break.

Agent sends strong Bundesliga signal

Mathis Tell’s agent Ghadiri Camara has now responded to the latest conversation from Germany. local outlet football transfers He is said to have addressed the speculation surrounding Borussia Dortmund and made the player’s situation very clear.

“I don’t know if Dortmund really wants Mathis or not, but honestly, a return to Bayern is the only possibility for Mathis to come back to Germany. He can’t play for any other club in the Bundesliga. He loves Bayern.”

This is clearly remarkable for Bayern. This is also notable for Tottenham.

The main line for Spurs isn’t really Bayern affection. This is the solidity of stance around the Bundesliga. Tell’s camp are effectively saying that, if his future in Germany were ever discussed again, there is only one destination they would entertain.

This closes down the Dortmund angle immediately and leaves Tottenham with a simple picture.

What does this mean for Tottenham

Mathis Tell is still young enough for the Spurs to be patient. He will not turn 21 until the end of April, and his contract gives the club strong control.

At the same time, it’s another reminder that Tottenham are dealing with a player whose emotional connection to Bayern has not gone away. This does not mean that he is now insisting on exit. This means that any long-term discussions over his future may eventually involve Munich again.

However, for now, the message is pretty straightforward. If Tell does one day leave Tottenham and return to Germany, his agent insists it will only be to Bayern.

Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuckovic is on Barcelona’s radar for the summer as the Catalans look for a new centre-back for the future.

Sport Bild Report Barcelona are one of the possible options for the 19-year-old, who has been recommended by Croatian icon Ivan Rakitic.

The German newspaper today covered the Tottenham centre-back ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer for him.

frosty tottenham affair

Luka Vuckovic is set to return to Tottenham later this year after a successful loan spell at HSV Hamburg. But whether he will remain at Spurs beyond that point is currently unclear.

Sportbild report that Vuckovic is on bad terms with Spurs. He was disappointed by Tottenham’s decision to loan him out last summer. He also wants to play in Europe next season.

This has made some Champions League clubs cautious of him, as the Croatian is considered a mega-talent in European football. His performances for HSV have further cemented this. Liverpool are also among those talking about him.

Barcelona eyes Vuckovic

Barcelona especially have their eyes on the centre-back. They are looking for long, strong headers on the ball and keeping an eye on Luka Vuckovic.

The defender has also made it clear that he would ‘like to play in Spain’ at some point. This is being seen as a transfer incentive for Barcelona.

There is also the fact that he is represented by Pini Zahavi. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has a good relationship with the 83-year-old. He also represents Barcelona coach Hansi Flick and striker Robert Lewandowski.

According to Sportbild it is clear that Zahavi is in contact with the Catalans about Vuckovic. Furthermore, former Barça star Ivan Rakitic has also recommended the HSV defender to his former club.

tottenham asking price

The question is whether Tottenham want to sell, especially in the summer window in which Christian Romero and Micky Van Veen are pushing to leave.

They currently value Vuckovic at €60 million, but that figure is rising. It would likely get a big boost if he plays in the World Cup with Croatia this summer.

It is unclear whether Barcelona will pay this amount or not. But they are making the rounds and it feels like Zahvi is working behind the scenes; This is a story that could pick up real steam soon.

Phares Gedzemis is having an impressive season so far at Frosinone. Celtic moved for the attacker in January and have been given the hope of a summer deal.

In the winter transfer window, sports witness Celtic’s approach to the winger was widely covered. The Scottish giants made a formal offer but Frosinone immediately rejected it, as they had little time to find a replacement.

Throughout the campaign, Gedzemis has played 32 times in all competitions and has been instrumental in their push for promotion. He has made 12 goals, scoring against South Tyrol in Serie B at the weekend and also scored against Cesena earlier this month.

It’s all likely to attract more attention than ever before and the 23-year-old’s agent has opened up about his future.

Celtic offer rejected in January

Phares Ghedjemis’ agent Fabrizio Ferrari spoke at a Palermo football meeting on Tuesday evening. He discussed many of his clients, one of whom was the Frosinone star. He revealed that a possible approach from Celtic was rejected in January.

When asked about a possible renewal, Ferrari said – relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “Renewal? This option was already present in the contract signed with Frosinone that it was their right to exercise.”

Speaking about how things were two months ago, the agent revealed that Gedzemis himself had turned down a move, but with a view to a move in the summer.

“There were rumors in the market about him in January? He really wanted to end the season with promotion. That was the guy’s intention, with Frosinone potentially monetizing the operation in the summer.”

Ferrari’s comments indicate that the player’s future is likely to be in question in the summer.

The deal may not prove easy for Celtic

The way things are going for the Algerian, he is likely to attract plenty of interest in the summer. Serie A clubs may also start to pay attention to Fares Ghedjemis’s performances, even if Frosinone remains in Serie B.

That’s why Celtic need to be cautious with this move otherwise they could potentially have to overpay.

Frosinone paid €300k to sign the winger in 2024 and would like to make as much as possible from a sale. No matter what department they find themselves in, they wouldn’t mind going to auction for their key assets.

Elia Caprile has come a long way since his time at Leeds United. Aston Villa have been mentioned as suitors for the goalkeeper, with his agent speaking about his future.

The Italian joined Cagliari on loan from Napoli in January 2025. Since then, he has played 50 times in all competitions, and has become a key player for the Sardinian side.

This has allowed him to remain in and around the Italian national team, with major Serie A teams keeping a close eye on him.

earlier this month, sports witness Covered claims about interest from Aston Villa, approaching the departure of Emi Martínez. Caprile’s agent has now hinted at the fact that several clubs have been monitoring the goalkeeper for some time now.

Caprile focused on the present

Graziano Battistini of the GB1 agency spoke to Style TV about his client’s future. He made it clear that the former Leeds player is focused on the present, even though the list of suitors is growing.

He said- relayed by calciocastedu: : “I will only focus on the present because right now Elia needs to continue to play his role in the league so that Cagliari can achieve its goals.”

While focusing on the suitors, Battistini insisted that interest from clubs does not mean a deal is done. Any team has a long way to go before they can find a keeper.

“It is true that the boy is being monitored by high-level clubs. But being monitored is one thing, discussing and completing a deal is another.”

This comes just after Aston Villa’s interest in the Italian was once again highlighted, with Unai Emery’s side pursuing the player. Tottenham are doing the same, with Guglielmo Vicario linked with an exit from the London side.

Aston Villa is a big leap forward for Caprile

It’s fair to say that the 24-year-old definitely deserves a transfer from Cagliari soon. He has impressed enough to earn a big transfer, which explains why the likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan are also keen.

That jump – including a potential move to Aston Villa – will take some effort. Elia Caprile is the perfect age, but the next step isn’t always the right one.

Unai Emery’s side could still play in the Champions League, with the Italian yet to make his mark in the competition. That’s why – despite Caprile’s quality and leadership, it makes more sense to make a move elsewhere before making the final leap to a Champions League club.

Brighton & Hove Albion are again looking to South America for defensive talent, and Lautaro Rivero is now emerging as a name to watch.

The 22-year-old River Plate centre-back is yet to make the headlines in Europe. However, his recent performance suggests that he is moving quickly in that direction.

A left-footed defender, Rivero has begun to establish himself at the senior level after returning from a loan spell at Central Córdoba. He was a midfielder during his youth academy days, so his abilities with the ball caught everyone’s attention. Since then, he has become a more regular presence under Marcelo Gallardo.

His profile matches what Brighton often target. He is comfortable on the ball, tactically aware and developing within a structured system.

Defensive Profile and Underlying Numbers

Rivero’s data from the current campaign reinforces that notion.

He averages 1.59 interceptions per 90 minutes, which puts him in a strong percentage for reading the game. Additionally, he has recorded 1.94 tackles per 90 and 3.87 clearances, showing solid defensive involvement without being overly aggressive.

The important thing is that he has not made a single mistake for a shot or a goal so far. This suggests a level of composure and decision making which is important for a player at the very beginning of his top level career.

In the air, he wins 2.16 duels per 90, which again indicates reliability rather than dominance.

However, his extraordinary numbers came in possession. Rivero averages over 60 passes per 90 minutes, with a completion rate of 86%. These figures place them among the most active distributors on the team and underline their role in the construction stages.

This combination points to a defender who is more positional and controlled than offensive – a profile often favored by Brighton’s recruitment model.

Brighton’s interest begins to take shape

Against that backdrop, reports from Argentina suggest that Brighton have already started looking behind the scenes.

Journalist Sebastian Srur have said that Rivero’s representative – specifically the same agent as Enzo Fernandez – is currently in England. According to him, Brighton is “Try, ask, investigate… say whatever you want.” Regarding the protector.

Sarur stopped short of confirming the formal bid. Nevertheless, the tone indicates preliminary groundwork rather than passive interest.

He also said Rivero has a €100m (£86.5m) release clause, although this has been described as largely symbolic and designed to strengthen River Plate’s negotiating position.

As things stand, the expectation is that interest may increase heading into the summer window, especially if its current levels continue.

A profile that fits Brighton’s model

Brighton have built a reputation for identifying defenders before they reach full market value. Rivero appears to fit that strategy.

It’s not a finished product yet. The amount of his duels remains moderate, and he still needs to prove himself at a consistently high level. Yet his composure, passing output and defensive reads provide a strong foundation.

If Brighton are indeed laying the groundwork now, it will follow a familiar pattern. Move early, build relationships and establish yourself before wider European competition arrives.

What happens next may depend less on whether interest is present or not, and more on how quickly it turns into something concrete.
