of tottenham hotspur bid for brighton and hove albion Defender Jan Paul van Hecke is so serious that the clubs are sitting at the table and negotiating.

football international report Tottenham are serious about signing the Brighton defender and are in talks to do so.

Tottenham made a ‘serious bid’

The newspaper reports that Tottenham have made a ‘serious bid’ for the 25-year-old. This news from England has also been confirmed by Votable International. Transfer may happen before the World Cup.

According to the Dutch newspaper, various Premier League clubs have shown solid interest in Jan Paul van Hecke in recent weeks. Liverpool spoke to their squad, but that was before Arne Slot was sent off. Chelsea and Manchester City are also following him.

But it is Tottenham who have made the first ‘serious attempt’ to sign the Brighton defender. A formal ‘multi-million pound’ bid has been made from Roberto De Zerbi.

According to insiders, the bid is so serious that the clubs are now sitting down to reach an agreement. Brighton will have to sell this summer as Van Hecke’s current deal expires in 2027.

tottenham in pole position

Spurs have now put themselves in pole position for his signature. On a personal level, Van Hecke appears ‘likely’ to reach an agreement with them. He’s ready for a new step And is keen to secure a transfer this summer.

Despite Tottenham narrowly avoiding relegation this season, there is a ‘confidence’ they can quickly catch up next season. Roberto De Zerbi will be key in this and sees Van Hecke as a key building block for his plans.

The Dutch centre-back made 50 appearances under the Italian coach between September 2022 and May 2024, and transformed from a marginalized player in the team to a key player in their defence.

De Zerbi also called its development “the biggest improvement” seen in Brighton. He is now keen on a reunion and talks between Tottenham and Brighton are already in a serious stage.

Rafael Leao is actively looking for a new club armory There is a chance to sign an attacker.

sports witness Previously covered how Manchester United had asked for information on signing the AC Milan player. They seemed interested but no concrete proposal came forward.

Recently, the Portuguese expressed his desire to leave the Rossoneri. After enduring a difficult 2025/26 campaign, he has been clear he wants a new challenge. He could not cross the ten-goal mark, his attitude was questioned and his relationship with Max Allegri hit rock bottom.

Now, Arsenal have a chance to sign Leao in the summer.

Players keen on Gunners

gazzetta dello sport There are reports that there is growing frustration in Leo’s camp regarding finding a new club. He is believed to be behind his words regarding his decision to leave Milan.

Due to this the player has been put forward for Arsenal. The Gunners are believed to be looking for a winger, having missed out on Anthony Gordon at Barcelona.

The Portugal international is keen on a move to England and would not reject an offer from the London club. Even if Galatasaray is interested, he is willing to wait for English clubs to make a move.

The status of union is absolutely clear. They need around €50m to sell Leao, while Arsenal have yet to formally step forward.

Gala have offered the player €10m per season. It is quite a hefty salary, but he has not approached Milan because Leao himself is not keen. He waits, hoping the gunners will advance.

LEO can provide significant value

Over the past two seasons, the 26-year-old has looked like a shadow of himself. This coincided with off-pitch chaos at Milan, who constantly found themselves without a game plan. This is still the case and it has affected everyone – even Leo.

They need a club with a game plan and Arsenal align with those ideas. He can offer more than Gabriel Martinelli and can be one of the most electric attackers in the league even on his day.

There are question marks about work-rate and attitude, but this is where Mikel Arteta could come into play. Leo needs a manager like the Spaniard to get more out of him, especially when he will not have to spend much. While risky, a deal could be positive depending on the player’s salary demands.

Jonathan David could move from Juventus tottenham There may be a chance to sign him.

The striker struggled to make his mark in Turin during the 2025/26 campaign. He scored six goals and added four assists, but was never convincing enough for Luciano Spalletti. This ensured that he did not start any of the last four league games.

sports witness It tells how English clubs are preparing to sign him. Juve are interested in a separation, as anything they earn from their exit will be reduced as capital gains.

Now, the Bianconeri are ready to offer him to Tottenham as they want two players in return.

cheeky offer on the way

alljuve Report that Juve are currently interested in two Tottenham players.

One is left-back Destiny Udogie, who is seen as the ideal solution to their full-back concerns. Andrea Cambiasso’s future is in doubt and the ex-Udinese player could come in as a replacement.

Guglielmo Vicario is also a potential target. The Old Lady are desperate for a goalkeeper and feel the Italian is ready to return to Serie A.

Juve also admit that the financial situation of both players may be difficult. That’s why they could offer David to Tottenham as a potential makeweight and some cash.

They are optimistic that Roberto De Zerbi could be tempted by the opportunity. Even if the Canadian player has not impressed over the past 12 months, he is still seen as a way to turn a complicated move into an easy one.

Fancy idea but Tottenham shouldn’t be too keen

It feels as if Vicario’s time in London is over. Although Udogi has serious injury concerns, he may still have a chance to improve himself.

This is why there is no direct need for Tottenham to let the left-back go. What’s more, there is no pressure on them to let him go for a cheap fee.

A double deal for both Italians should cost more than €50m, far more than David’s current value.

The Canada international itself would be quite risky. This makes this swap more convenient for Juve than Tottenham, who need signings in the backline and midfield.

managerial drama watford It has always been a strange watch and now it is about to take a new turn.

Ed Still was removed from his post last month after less than two months in charge. He was the Hornets’ third manager of the campaign and instability played a role in a disappointing 16th-place finish.

The Pozo family are no strangers to making tough decisions, but would ideally like to move up the table in the upcoming season.

The next candidate to become Watford manager has now been identified.

dionysi on the way

Journalist Luca Cerchione The manager in question is former Sassuolo boss Alessio Dionisi, the report says. The Italian was last in charge of Empoli, who failed to get out of Serie B in the previous campaign.

It is believed that talks between Watford and the 46-year-old are progressing. But overall, Dionisi is expected to take charge of the London club soon.

He is likely to sign a two-year deal and will earn £500k per season. The information from Italy seems to be somewhat more advanced than that reported in England, and the move is now going in the right direction.

Dionisi’s career is in decline

At one point, Dionisi was seen as one of Italy’s best young managers. That is why he replaced Roberto De Zerbi at Sassuolo, but his tenure was a disastrous failure. This is one of the reasons why Nerovedi also got demoted soon.

Since then, Dionisi has been stuck in Italian football managerial purgatory. He has not made the huge leap into stardom and finds himself as a Serie B-proven boss. His stint at Palermo had sparks of his old attacking style but it also ended in failure.

As a result, Watford are taking risks. Recent years have not been enough to show whether the manager has lived up to his early promise. If it goes well, Dionisi will also benefit from it and will be able to get his reputation back on track.

of liverpool The name continues to follow Francisco Trincao around Portugal, and the Reds are now being presented as the leading candidates if the Sporting player decides to return to England.

recent reports The Reds have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old attacker, while Borussia Dortmund have also been credited with interest. Now, record Claim Liverpool top the list of clubs keeping an eye on the Portugal international.

The newspaper’s latest report focuses on Sporting’s summer plans and the players most likely to generate big transfer income. And Trincao is firmly one of them.

According to the Record, Sporting believe the winger has all the prerequisites for a Premier League return after rebuilding his career in Lisbon over the past four years.

While several clubs have been linked, Liverpool in particular have been identified as the team with the most interest at this stage.

Liverpool strongly linked

Portuguese reports have repeatedly suggested that Trincão’s future would not be seriously considered until after the World Cup. That tournament is expected to provide another opportunity for the player to increase his value and visibility on the international stage.

So there is no hurry for sporting.

The attacker signed a new contract earlier this year until 2030, while his €60m (£50.5m) release clause remains unchanged. Records show that any activity regarding his future is expected to revolve around that figure.

Liverpool’s continued presence at the front of the queue will draw attention to Merseyside.

The Reds are expected to make attacking adjustments this summer and Trincao’s profile has been increasingly highlighted in Portugal, As we covered earlier.

He finished the season with 13 goals and 15 assists in 54 games. He also established himself as Sporting’s most used outfield player.

Sporting expects big sales

The Record’s extensive reports make it clear that Sporting are hoping for another lucrative summer.

The Lisbon club made more than €181 million (£152 million) from player sales last year and are targeting at least €120 million (£101 million) in outgoing deals this summer.

Trincao is considered one of the players capable of helping them reach that figure. And according to records, the Reds currently top the list among the clubs willing to unlock the deal.

newcastle united There is a reported suitor for Udinese’s Arthur Atta and a deal looks to be moving ahead.

earlier this month, sports witness Covered how the arbitrators are trying to make a move for the midfielder. He had spoken to Udinese about a possible exit, especially as Atta had attracted interest from several clubs.

That’s when Newcastle United first emerged as a candidate, with Udinese very likely to execute a summer sale.

His stature increased during the final campaign after contributing ten goals in all competitions. While Italian clubs have also been keen on him for several months, England is now becoming the more preferred destination for Atta.

Magpies going ahead with deal

Morning Look at 23-year-olds and they mainly talk about English interests. This is causing a bit of trepidation at Napoli, who are also interested in Atta, especially as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguilla could end his tenure with the Serie A team this summer. I

The newspaper reveals Newcastle United have been linked with Udinese ‘in the last few hours’, with Brighton also currently in the running.

The Friulian club are demanding a €40m fee but the Magpies are not opposed to paying it. His financial capabilities suggest that the price appears affordable for Eddie Howe.

This seems to be a development in recent times and Newcastle United could be in their stride.

Udinese possibly pushing for exit

Italian media are convinced that Atta has played his last season at Udinese. And since intermediaries are already operating, it is no surprise that many clubs are being linked to them.

This gives Newcastle United the opportunity to seal a deal quickly. Udinese’s record sale is €35m, which is what Atletico Madrid paid for Rodrigo De Paul a few years ago. The Argentine has been a consistently good player for many seasons, but that was not the case with Atta.

That’s why there could still be a possibility for a waiver from Eddie Howe. Udinese would obviously like to make a sale to the Englishman to maximize their profits, but in all likelihood they will settle for less than €40m in the summer. Involvement of middlemen will definitely help.

Queens Park Rangers Dinamo have made progress in their attempts to sign goalkeeper Ivan Nevistic this summer.

Navistik kept five clean sheets and conceded 20 goals in 18 matches this season. His performances and profile may have convinced QPR to attempt to sign him.

The Croatian started the season as number 1, but lost his place to Dominik Livakovic, who arrived on loan from Fenerbahçe in January.

There is no clarity on whether Livakovic will extend his stay at Dinamo Zagreb or not. Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Crystal Palace interested in Fenerbahçe man.

QPR want to complete the signing quickly

However, Ivan Nevstic could be on the move, and a championship could be his next destination.

is according to 24 SATAWhich suggests QPR are serious about the goalkeeper, who could move to Loftus Road ‘very soon’.

Dinamo Zagreb would have no problem with an exit and are waiting for a formal offer.

sports news support this claim and provide their own update on QPR’s efforts to secure their services.

Julian Steffen’s side assured the stopper that he would be their new No. 1 when presenting his plan to them.

This allowed the player to reach an agreement on personal terms, a three- or four-year contract. The London club must agree terms with his club. Early next week, QPR officials will arrive in Zagreb with the intention of completing the signing.

Dinamo Zagreb will facilitate his exit and the report states that the operation should be carried out for a fee of between €500k and €1m.

At the moment, QPR are the ‘most realistic option’, even if unnamed German and Polish clubs lurk in the background.

Goalkeeper priority for QPR

QPR finished 15th this season, conceding 73 goals. This was the second worst defensive record after [89 goals] Sheffield Wednesday are bottom.

Julian Stephen had Joe Walsh, Paul Nardi and Ben Hamer as his three stoppers and the latter two have since left the club.

This has made signing a new stopper a priority for the English club. FC Juarez goalkeeper Sebastian Jurado has been on their agendaBut Ivan Nevstic is likely to join QPR.

The Croatian’s contract expires in 2028 and his value, accordingly transfer marketIs €500k.

Tottenham HotspurLuka Vuckovic spent this season on loan at Hamburg SV and has already said goodbye to them.

The Croatian international was one of the standout players for the Bundesliga side and his excellent performances did not go unnoticed.

Hamburg have spoken publicly about their desire to extend the Tottenham man. Also, the 19-year-old player has attracted the attention of top European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Last week, centre-back expressed his desire To remain at the German club.

He is also happy with transfer links but said he is concerned Spurs are in control of his future.

Tottenham player’s return to Hamburg rejected

The latest claims from UK state that Roberto De Zerbi’s side want to extend his contract and send him back to Hamburg SV on loan.

sky germany There has been no time in ruling out the possibility of Luka Vuckovic’s return as there have been no talks with the German club over a new loan deal.

The defender has two options; ‘A long-term contract extension with Spurs or a transfer to a top club.’ He is now preparing for the World Cup with the national team.

nova tv diary The British claim has also been broadcast in Croatia and their journalist, Stipe Antonijević, provides his own updates.

Sources, presumably from the Spurs man’s camp, have informed him that a new loan move to Hamburg has ‘not been considered at all’.

Antonijevic says ‘it is true’ that the north London club are planning to offer an improved contract without giving details. They want to reward him after impressing during his loan spell in Germany.

Awaiting Vuckovic’s decision

Tottenham Hotspur managed to avoid relegation on the last day of this season.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Luka Vuckovic prefers to change clubs this summer. If this is true, it will be a difficult task for Spurs to secure his renewal.

Croatia’s contract expires in 2030, and his value, accordingly transfer marketIs €60m.

chelsea Appeared close to signing Mike Maignan last summer. A move failed in the advanced stages but it may be back on track.

The goalkeeper appeared to be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge in 2025. That’s when Milan appointed Max Allegri as their manager and brought in goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi.

This convinced the Frenchman to reject Chelsea and take up a leadership role at the Rossoneri. sports witness This was widely covered, as the London club had agreed personal terms with the player.

Their season was full of ups and downs and ended with the huge disappointment of finishing fifth in Serie A.

This led to Allegri’s exit and now, things could change for Maignan.

Filippi and Allegri are gone

sports newspaper Note that Maignan stayed in Milan because of Allegri. That’s why he signed the renewal, with his contract now expiring in the summer of 2031.

Now, Allegri and Filippi are both gone. This could ensure that Magnan also actively wants out, even if he has a long-term deal at San Siro.

To make it worse, Milan’s failure to qualify for the Champions League will attract contenders. Chelsea ‘could knock again’ and they are interested in his signature.

corriere dello sport Go down the same path.

He thinks Maignan may now have ambitions of playing in the Champions League. This could lead to him actively seeking a transfer, with Filippi’s exit seen as particularly troublesome for the Frenchman.

The blues have the right to move on

Chelsea are in desperate need of a more reliable keeper than Robert Sanchez. Even though Magnan is now 30, he would be an upgrade.

This shows that he is clearly someone who has been well researched at Stamford Bridge. They have probably assessed all his strengths and weaknesses, which have remained consistent in recent seasons.

That’s why any move should be actively pursued, especially if Magnan pushes for a transfer.

Barcelona believe they are very close to signing Anthony Gordon newcastle united In the coming days.

cadena ser report There is growing belief at the Camp Nou that Gordon will be signed soon.

Barcelona’s confidence

The radio station reports that Barcelona are confident of securing a deal for Anthony Gordon in the coming days after his agent William Salthouse traveled to Barcelona today.

They explain that Salthouse traveled to Barcelona on Wednesday, following Barca director of football Deco’s visit to London over the past few days to push forward talks for the Newcastle star.

He made the trip with the aim of finalizing the final details of the operation and expediting the signing of the player.

Barcelona are now ‘almost confident’ of being able to complete the deal quickly. He is in talks with Newcastle over a €70m deal.

fits the profile

The 25-year-old’s profile appeals greatly to both the club’s sporting management and manager Hansi Flick. They both consider strengthening the wings with players ‘capable of maintaining a high rate of pressing and intensity’ a priority.

Barcelona have several reports on Anthony Gordon in this department. He highlighted the Newcastle forward’s ability to ‘repeated high-intensity efforts’. This is a key feature for any player in Flick’s system.

Barcelona also believes that Gordon can play as both a winger and a striker. This further increases his strategic importance for the team.

Negotiations have now advanced ‘very far’ and the Catalan giants are confident they will be able to sign a deal in the coming days.

They will look to move quickly to avoid potential competition from Bayern Munich.

report in germany It’s been made clear that they’re keen on Gordon too, and have been for some time. But they are hesitant to pay Newcastle’s asking price, which is not an obstacle for Barcelona.

armory Other clubs are expected to enter the market for Fabio Vieira this summer, as HSV Hamburg do not intend to exercise their €22m option to purchase him permanently.

Sport Bild covers 25 years old today And how HSV’s hopes of keeping the Arsenal midfielder permanently are dwindling.

Arsenal’s demands are very high

The newspaper reports that the club’s new sporting director Kathleen Kruger is already working behind the scenes. There are no plans for major changes in the team at this time.

HSV want to keep Fabio Vieira this summer after a successful loan from Arsenal this season. The midfielder also feels comfortable in Hamburg.

But the reality is that the German side will not exercise the €22m purchase option they negotiated with Arsenal last summer. The Gunners have paid no price to Hamburg to let him leave for less.

Instead they are hoping another club will make a higher offer for Vieira before the transfer window closes on August 31.^{scheduled tribe}. Work is being done behind the scenes to increase the interest of the remaining members of the Bundesliga.

The agency offers him around

His agency, Gestifute, is offering him to Bundesliga clubs. They are specifically targeting clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart that are competing in European competition. He could earn more at those types of clubs, making matters even more complicated for Stuttgart.

At this time, it appears unlikely that the midfielder will return to the club this summer, despite both parties’ wishes.

It is likely that this situation will continue throughout the summer. If Arsenal cannot find other suitors willing to pay his demands, he could return to Stuttgart late on.

But for now, it appears his agents are working to drum up interest in the Bundesliga, in the hopes of getting Arsenal and a better deal for Vieira.

Juventus are now becoming desperate to sell Andrea Cambiaso tottenham Among the claimants.

The full-backs made a poor start to the season under Igor Tudor. Things changed for the better after the appointment of Luciano Spalletti but the last few weeks have seen a downturn once again.

sports witness It covers how Tottenham have made inquiries about the versatile defender. He is also popular with other Premier League clubs, with Inter Milan also registering an interest.

The Italian had a disappointing performance against Fiorentina at the weekend. This has fueled talk of his exit and Juve will hope for a sale.

trust cambiaso has lost credibility

Journalist Gianni Balzarini spoke about the defender on his YouTube channel and seemed very confident about his situation.

He suggested that Cambiasso could no longer stay at the Bianconeri. Question marks have also been raised on his attitude.

Balzarini said – relayed by alljuve: : “In my opinion, there are some players who can no longer stay there, also because of certain attitudes. Cambiasso, because of his lack of threat – and he even laughs about it, or at least smiles about it – is a player who can no longer stay at Juventus because he no longer has the credibility to give his all for this team, at least from the outside.”

The journalist also said that Juve should sell if competitors like Barcelona or Tottenham offer around €40m.

“So, even if Barcelona’s interest in Cambiaso is confirmed €40-50 million, Juve will send him packing. This is because he no longer has the credibility to stay at Juventus. Yes, he has strategic intelligence. He has the ability to play inside the pitch as a winger. Yes, but this year he has not performed as well as he should have. Not even that.”

Cambiasso affected by instability

The 26-year-old has not had a good season. But the same applies to every other player at Juve.

Cambiaso has been a victim of this and it has set back his approach to the game. It relies heavily on their technical skills and versatility and demands a specific playing style to thrive. This has been seen in the past for Juve, the Italian national team and Bologna.

Under Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham can give him the right foundation to succeed. The Italian has shown that one of his full-backs can switch sides in midfield. Cambiaso can play that role well and can continue to do so. His age is also right and the deal should be at a fair price.

Juventus appear to be making rapid progress on this move liverpoolAlison and a deal is now taking shape.

The goalkeeper received a new deal at Anfield in March but is likely to leave.

sports witness Covered how the Brazil international is now keen on a move to Juventus. He wants to reunite with Luciano Spalletti in Turin, having both shared the dressing room at Roma.

Personal terms between the two parties were not expected to be a problem. Liverpool’s approach was obstructive and looks to be changing with time.

diplomatic talks took place

tuttosport Report Alisson has ‘dedicated’ himself completely to Juve. He has great respect for Liverpool for how they have transformed his career but feels it is the right time to move on.

He has agreed terms to a three-year deal €4.5m per season. The next step would be an agreement with Liverpool.

The situation is now slowly changing. Liverpool had initially closed the door on letting the experienced player leave. Soon, Ellison had diplomatic talks about his exit and those discussions went smoothly.

As a result, Erne Slott’s side are more open to letting Alisson go. They want €15m to let him leave.

This move could help Alison

The Italian media seem to be going over the top but a move to Juve should help Alisson. With the departures of Mattia Perin and Michel Di Gregorio, he should be their first choice between the sticks.

Even if Juve fail to qualify for the Champions League, Spalletti’s presence will be vital. He has performed well in the past at Napoli, Roma and Inter, so the same is likely to be the case in Turin.

That could guarantee the club silverware, which would be another positive for Alisson. The backbone of the current Bianconeri squad is youth. This would make the 33-year-old a dressing room leader.

Even though he could earn even more by moving to Saudi Arabia, Juve would allow him to spend his last few years playing at the highest level.

Atletico Madrid are now in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Bernardo Silva following his departure Manchester City in this summer.

Journalist Yaziz Sabuncuoglu reports That both sides are now ‘close to an agreement’ for the midfielder to move to Spain.

advanced talks

The journalist reports that Atletico are now in advanced talks with the 31-year-old player. And although no deal has been finalized yet, both sides are close to an agreement.

Bernardo Silva is set to become a free agent this summer after choosing to leave Manchester City. Reports have subsequently linked him to a move to clubs across Europe.

Juventus have been keen for some time, with Sport Witness covering a report stating that they have organized Positive talks with Galatasaray about a move this summer.

Then three days ago Atlético Madrid came into the picture. A report in Spain suggested they had turned their attention to the Manchester City midfielder. that report also Involved a surprise contact from Chelsea.

griezmann replacement

It is reported that Atlético view Silva as a potential replacement for Antoine Griezmann. And as a result talks began about a possible move this summer.

Reportedly, they were taking advantage of the fact that the Manchester City man wanted to be closer to his family in Portugal after spending nine years in England. Moving to Spain would definitely make it easier.

Sabuncuoglu now reports that negotiations are now in an advanced stage and both sides are close to an agreement. He makes no mention of the contract terms or the deal at this time.

Now, Sport Witness says it has not yet been reported in Spain. Therefore, it is advisable to take the news with utmost caution.

But Silva has been linked with a move to Turkiye this summer, and him potentially being out of the running would certainly be right in Sabuncuoglu’s wheelhouse.

Atletico Madrid are in advanced talks with Bernardo Silva! The deal is not closed yet, but the parties are close to an agreement! https://t.co/tUZ0BSoGtK

tottenham It is still being linked with a permanent move for Joao Palinha, but the mood in Portugal is becoming cautious.

On the one hand, Sporting is now building parts of next season’s midfield with the Tottenham midfielder already on his way back to Lisbon.

On the other hand, Portuguese reports are beginning to acknowledge that the operation may be more difficult than recent optimism has suggested.

That paradox is turning out to be one of the most interesting parts of the story.

Sporting is already planning its midfield around Palhinha

Record Now report Sporting BK are close to signing the Hacken midfielder silas andersonThe deal is expected to be completed in the coming days. However, what matters most is how the Danish midfielder is being described internally.

According to the newspaper, Anderson is seen as “a complementary piece” to Palhinha – not a replacement for him.

This is another clear sign that Sporting are already planning next season’s midfield, assuming the Tottenham player can return.

The report also states that Rui Borges personally views Palhinha as an idol Replacement for Morten HjulmandWhich is expected to go away this summer. This sentiment became common throughout Portugal.

Recent reports have already claimed that Sporting are prioritizing other midfield targets due to the growing confidence around Palhinha. Now the structure of reconstruction is being built around itself.

Tottenham clause questioned

There is also another notable change. Earlier Portuguese reports focused on tottenham is trying to negotiate Bayern Munich’s €30m (£25.8m) buyout clause has been reduced.

Now A Bola goes further by suggesting that Spurs may not activate the clause at all. Although they did not explain the reasons behind such a decision, the statement naturally strengthened Sporting’s expectations.

The Lisbon side are reportedly already discussing a loan deal with Bayern Munich with an option to buy outright. This shows that the situation has gone beyond simple player interest or casual contacts.

The report also states that Sporting president Frederico Varandas has been quietly working behind the scenes to carry out the operation.

Sporting must face its own issues

despite everything Optimism about the player’s wishesThe Record also described Palhinha as Sporting’s “most complex” transfer operation of the summer.

This is significant because recent coverage in Portugal had begun to portray the move as straightforward. The reason for this was Midfielder wishes to return home.

So while Portugal are treating the move as something being actively made behind the scenes, a little more realism is now also entering the coverage.

Sporting may actually believe that Pelhinha wants to come home. Actually closing the deal is a completely different matter.

add inter match armoryKepa Arrizabalaga is already included in his goalkeeping target list Tottenham HotspurGuglielmo Vicario.

Over the past few months, there have been repeated claims of interest from the Serie A side in the Italy-based Tottenham stopper.

On 3 April, Game Witness broadcast news Inter have agreed a four-year deal with the 29-year-old Spurs man. two days ago, Italian media pointed out The two sides are out of a deal, but Tottenham are in no rush to sell.

The Italian champions are also changing their plans as the Arsenal goalkeeper emerges as a new target.

arsenal man on tottenham player

is according to gazzetta dello sportWho covers the latest on Kepa Arrizabalaga and Guglielmo Vicario.

Yann Sommer has been Inter Milan’s No. 1, and the 37-year-old will leave when his contract expires in June.

His deputy Josep Martínez has played nine matches this season. Gazzetta says he has ‘demonstrated confidence, reliability and, more generally, competence.’

Christian Chivu’s team have decided to promote him as their new No.1 and hence, the deal for the Tottenham Hotspur player is ‘on hold if not completely put’.

Sommer’s impending exit will also force them to sign another stopper. Inter Milan plan to bring in a stopper capable of providing cover and competition for Martínez.

The 31-year-old Spaniard, who has been David Raya’s backup at Arsenal, comes into the picture.

He was not first-choice when moving from Chelsea on loan to Real Madrid during the 2023/24 season. Kepa also has a similar role under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates as he made 12 appearances for the Gunners and that does not include Premier League appearances.

Inter Milan believe Kepa could be a ‘perfect partner’ for Martínez, giving Martínez the opportunity to achieve his full potential. This will not please Vicario, who is keen to leave Tottenham in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

Kepa Arrizabalaga and Guglielmo Vicario have been linked with moves to Arsenal.

transfermkrt The Spaniard is valued at €7m and his Spurs counterpart valued at €7m €23m. Agency AC Talent manages Gunners Man while Italian agency GG11 is representing Vicario.

The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension. Liljegren’s deal has an average annual value of $3.25 million.

The Capitals acquired Liljegren from the San Jose Sharks at the 2026 NHL trade deadline in March. The 27-year-old blueliner finished the season with 11 points (1 goal, 10 assists) in 47 games for both teams.

Liljegren was brought in by the Capitals to fill the void left by John Carlson. He played in only four games for Washington, recording seven blocks, two hits and three takeaways while averaging 16 minutes a night.

With the new extension in place, the Capitals will likely give Liljegren a bigger opportunity next season. This especially comes as Rasmus Sandin is out for a long time at the end of the 2025-26 season after tearing his ACL.

Liljegren’s acquisition and Carlson’s departure led to several changes at D-Corps. Sandin switched primarily to the right side and played a top-4 role.

The Capitals still have to address their right side with Liljegren’s return. After Liljegren and Matt Roy, the only other right-handed defensemen on the team are Trevor van Riemsdyk and Dylan McIlrath. However, it is very possible that van Riemsdyk, being an unrestricted free agent, could be traded.

of manchester united Interest in Danilo is beginning to seem more serious. This comes at the very moment when the midfielder looks to be completely out of Botafogo’s plans.

The Brazil international was already heading towards a potential summer exit following his excellent form this season. However, the latest update coming out of Brazil shows that things are heating up quickly behind the scenes.

according to multiple reportsDanilo is now expected to miss Botafogo training sessions and matches until his future becomes clearer.

This is a huge increase Earlier “risk management” approach About his fitness and World Cup preparation.

At this point, it really feels as if Botafogo is already managing the final stages before his departure.

Manchester United is pushing again

The timing is interesting as the Manchester United name continues to appear more and more around the player.

after Previous reports of first contact, espn brazil Said United made new inquiries last week. They continue to view Danilo as a potential long-term replacement for Casemiro.

There is still no sign of formal conversation or speech, but repeated contact certainly suggests something is going on. Especially as United are beginning to look like one of the main players in the race. It is the only English club to have been credited with active interest by the local press in the past few days.

feels more and more like passing out

Danilo’s season has pushed him to a completely different market level. In addition to establishing himself as one of the most productive midfielders in Brazilian football, he was also called up for the World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti, increasing the hype around him.

Botafogo expect their valuation from the tournament to reach €40m (£34m). Meanwhile, several European clubs continued to weigh in on the situation.

More importantly, the club’s own sentiment is positive for Manchester United. They want Danilo to be sold abroad after the World Cup – not to a local rival. This naturally pushes the Premier League angle even further.

An important point here is that negotiations really won’t be that difficult once a formal offer is made.

John Textor was effectively stripped of control of Botafogo after leaving the club nearly R$2.5bn (€427m / £367m) in debt. This has left a club under great financial pressure.

Botafogo know they need money, and they also know Danilo wants a move after the World Cup.

Put those two things together, and there is a growing feeling in Brazil that this could become a relatively quick deal once one of the interested clubs decides to make a proper move.

arsenal may still be there

While Manchester United continue to talk with Botafogo, Arsenal remain active in their pursuit of the player.

As we covered earlierThe Gunners have already made contact with Danilo’s staff and still look like one of the most aggressively moving English clubs behind the scenes.

But the overall sentiment about the situation is changing. It seems Danilo is already in the middle of the exit process, and England’s top shelf clubs are waiting on the other side.

near barcelona Tottenham HotspurCristian Romero is on their list to improve their defense ahead of next season.

On 29 April, Game Witness broadcast news The centre-back is Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni as his main option.

Earlier this month, we Covered Claims The Italian is concerned about Barcelona’s interest in the Tottenham star.

Wednesday edition of game The La Liga winners are said to have courted Bastoni because of his €70m price tag.

Hansi Flick’s side are considering options and that’s where the Argentina international comes into the picture.

tottenham took a stance

Another report from game State Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation at Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs’ failure to beat Chelsea on Tuesday means their stay in the Premier League is not yet secure. They are 17th in the table, two points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United and need at least a point to avoid relegation.

The game states Roberto De Zerbi’s side will allow Cristian Romero to leave despite remaining in the Premier League.

Barcelona, ​​who were offered Romero a month ago, have contacted his agent and are awaiting a response.

The Catalan club is well aware that he will ‘definitely leave’ to Tottenham, who will set the price depending on his Premier League stay. If Spurs stay top, Sport say the price will be €60m and would be significantly reduced in the event of relegation.

However, the Spanish champions are refusing to pay €60m and will only consider a ‘significantly lower price’ deal by offering Spurs a player as part of the deal.

The South American wants to reach Camp Nou while Atletico Madrid are also in the race to sign him. There will be no movement until Tottenham finish their season.

Contract, price and agent information

Last August, Cristian Romero signed an extension at Tottenham Hotspur until 2029. transfer marketis €50m and the highest was €65m in December 2025.

Agent Ciro Palermo manages the Argentine, who is currently working on his recovery after suffering an injury in April.

of manchester city When it comes to midfielder Pedro Vaite the extensive scouting operation appears to be going beyond simple monitoring.

Latest reports suggest that discussions are already taking place over where the Ecuadorian international will fit into the City football group setup.

The 24-year-old has quickly become one of the standout names linked to the group following recent scouting activity in Mexico.

As covered earlierRepresentatives from City Football Group traveled to the country earlier this month to watch matches and meet with local contacts. At the time, no one publicly attached specific names to the voyage. However, this has changed very rapidly.

as of now TUDN MexicoCity Football Group are still pushing to sign Pedro Vitae ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

And interestingly, the conversation already seems to be moving beyond whether they want him.

Discussion is already on the way

The latest claims suggest that internal talks are now taking place over where exactly Pedro Vitae will play within the City Football Group structure if the move goes ahead.

Verona, New York City FC, Troyes and Palermo have all been mentioned as possible landing spots. However, the report also leaves the door slightly open to the possibility of something bigger.

Manchester City themselves are not completely out of the picture.

This still seems like the least likely route, and it is important to emphasize that most of the reporting has focused on the wider CFG network rather than Pep Guardiola’s immediate plans. Still, the noteworthy thing is that this possibility is also being mentioned internally.

Usually, when these stories first come out, the discussion is simply about scouting or interest. It already seems a little further down the road.

Why does white matter to CFG?

Pedro Witte joined Pumas UNAM from Vancouver Whitecaps in July 2025 and quickly rose to Liga MX status.

The Ecuador international has become one of the Pumas’ most important creative players. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder. However, he is comfortable moving into more central areas to dictate the game.

Technically fast, left-footed and agile in tight spaces, he fits the profile that groups regularly target in many leagues.

The reported valuation is currently around €14m (£12m), which would become a record sale for Pumas UNAM.

the sooner the better

According to reports, City Football Group wants to move ahead before the World Cup. This is because they expect Pedro Vitesse’s value to increase if Ecuador has a strong tournament and performs well.

This has become a familiar tactic for multi-club groups and elite sides alike. Their goal is to complete the deal before the global headlines push the price higher.

At this stage, there is still no confirmation of formal negotiations or a final decision as to which club will acquire him.

Still, the tone is changing toward this early stage of a deal.

Manchester United On his target list for the summer is Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson.

The Norway international’s impressive performances have already caught the attention of Manchester United.

Two months ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany The Red Devils and Newcastle United are both interested in signing him.

The right-back has had a fantastic season for the Bundesliga side and has made 18 assists in 42 matches.

His league statistics this season are as follows:

• Key passes per game: 1.8
• Big chances created: 22
• Tackles per game: 1.1
• Recoveries per game: 3.9
• Duels won per game: 2.9

These statistics indicate his contribution to BVB in both attack and defence.

Manchester United keen on Ryerson

Michael Carrick’s side are continuing to keep an eye on the 28-year-old, after initially keeping an eye on him in March.

sky germany Pick it up now and read their headline: ‘Manchester United interested in Borussia Dortmund defender Julian Ryerson.’

In the report, they revealed that his impressive performances had led to interest from the Premier League and only mentioned the Red Devils.

Manchester United are ‘in the race’ to sign the player as a backup to Diogo Delot. The report makes it clear that a potential move to Old Trafford would only take place if Noucair Mazraoui leaves.

Borussia Dortmund invested €5m to sign the fullback from 1. FC Union Berlin in January 2023.

As of now, the German club has not set a price tag, but a fee of more than €30m is expected in the case of a transfer.

This would be within the reach of Manchester United. However, there is no sign they are spending it on supporting King who turns 29 in November.

Contract, price and agent information

transfer market Julian Ryerson, who has a contract until 2028, is valued at €25m and is the highest value of his career.

British agency CAA represents the BVB player and their long client list includes Manchester United’s Patrick Dorgu.

west ham united FC Metz have made solid progress with their move to sign Alfa Toure in the summer transfer window.

The Premier League side had already set their sights on the defensive midfielder in the winter market.

In January, Sports Witness broadcast news West Ham’s initial offer of €7m. The source had reported the Hammers returning with an improved bid but this did not happen in the same window.

A month later, the Senegalese midfielder revealed that he was pleased by West Ham’s interest and talked about his dream of moving to England.

That time, He said: : “It’s always nice when clubs like West Ham or Besiktas show interest in me. It shows I still have to work hard. But I’m under contract with Metz and I’m very focused on my season. I leave it to my representatives. [my family] And the club,” Touré explained.

“I’m focused on the pitch. As long as I wear the Metz shirt, I give 100%… The Premier League is a very intense championship, with a lot of pace and impact. It’s a dream for many players. But one thing at a time.”

West Ham are in talks for Toure

Fast forward to May and game Cover the latest on West Ham’s interest in Senegal’s Alfa Toure.

The outlet has made it clear that it is their own update that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have reached an agreement in principle with the 20-year-old.

The Hammers are making progress in their negotiations and have a ‘significant advantage’ over competitors. Unless there is a fresh setback or a last-minute twist, West Ham could finalize the operation this week.

Impact of demotion on West Ham move?

West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the league on Sunday. The latest result means the Hammers are still in the relegation zone, two points behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have a game in hand.

There is no mention of what will happen to Alfa Toure if the Hammers are relegated from the Championship.

Touré’s contract runs until 2028, and transfer market Now estimate his value at €5m.

Former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine believes that Ichiro Suzuki thought he was going to make his MLB debut with the Amazings. But a short conversation with his agent probably eliminated any real chances.

Ichiro will go down as one of MLB’s greatest hitters of all time. During his 19-year career, the Japanese icon posted years between .350 and .372 batting averages, was a one-time MVP, a 10-time All-Star and a 10-time Gold Glove winner. If he had the power it would be illegal.

However, when they debuted in 2001, imports from Japan were not given as much importance as they are now. For the most part, many of the former stars of the Land of the Rising Sun disappointed. So expectations from Ichiro were not high. But many now look back and wonder if he had started his career in MLB a few years earlier, he might have had many of the all-time hits records.

Ichiro is a great “what if” story for teams that didn’t make much of an effort to beat out the Seattle Mariners for his services. One of them is the Mets as stories have surfaced over the last few years about New York’s interest and why they haven’t landed the outfielder.

The NY Mets colluded with the agent to void Ichiro Suzuki’s deal in 2001?

This week, former manager Bobby Valentine added a new layer to the story. in conversation sal lucata showHe claimed that he urged Mets management to make a large silent bid because he knew how talented he was after seeing him in person while managing in Japan.

Valentine also thought there was a better than average chance that the Mets could acquire Ichiro because he and the great outfielder were represented by the same agent, Tony Attanasio.

However, he stated that the agent and club were not on good terms because of how poorly Valentine’s contract was negotiated, and some in the organization may have confused the manager’s keen interest in Ichiro as an attempt to get his agent another good payday.

“If Ichiro had sat down and reflected on that time, I think he would have said, ‘Oh, I thought I was going to be a New York Met,'” Valentine said.

After reaching the World Series in 2000, the Mets declined in subsequent years. However, if the roster had had an elite hitter like Ichiro in his later years, including his next NLCS run in 2006, it would have been possible that the club would have reached the playoffs more often and ended its championship drought.

Manchester United There are ‘intentions’ to sign Ederson from Atalanta this summer and ‘racing’ to get a deal done.

tuttomerkatoweb Manchester United are reported to be making a move for the 26-year-old Brazilian, although they have not yet made a bid.

manchester united optimism

According to the website, the ‘overall sentiment’ is optimistic about the midfielder moving to the Premier League this summer.

Manchester United’s sudden move could result in Atletico Madrid, who were the first to make an offer in January, loosening their grip on the player. They are now considering other profiles, such as Joao Gomes at Wolves.

The feeling in Spain is that Ederson would like to compete at a different level. This is despite the agreement being on individual terms.

Atalanta’s asking price is clear at the moment; They want €50 million to sell the midfielder this summer. They are determined to acquire such a ‘significant sum’ so that they can reinvest and attempt to rebuild their midfield.

Either way, Ederson appears to be a major target for Manchester United in the coming weeks. They are set to lose Casemiro, and another Brazilian could be an ideal addition.

Manchester United’s interest is increasing

Reports have certainly indicated that they are increasing their interest in the Atalanta midfielder.

Sport Witness covered a similar report on May 8^thsaid That they were prepared to break the €40m wall for the midfielder. This would mean that there is not a big difference between them and Atalanta in terms of the asking price.

Manchester United was then given encouragement by Atalanta’s CEO. He emphasized that They will listen to offers if they come in this summer. However, these offers are expected to arrive sometime this summer.

There is a growing sense, at least in Italy, that Manchester United are preparing their move. And Atletico backing down has, at least for now, opened the door for them to secure a deal without any competition.

Interested in Valencia ipswich town Goalkeeper Arizente Muric, the 27-year-old, is preparing to return to Portman Road this summer.

Cadena SER reports that Valencia have inquired about Muric’s contract situation, with his current deal set to expire in 2028.

Sassuolo mantra goes well

Arizente Muric currently belongs to Ipswich Town, but has spent the season on loan at Italian side Sassuolo. This includes an option to purchase this summer.

But the goalkeeper has made it clear that he has no intention of staying with the Serie A team after the expiry of his loan deal. He has been a regular this season, making 32 appearances in the league, conceding 43 goals and keeping six clean sheets. He has featured in 89% of the available minutes.

Whether or not he is part of Ipswich’s plans in the Premier League is currently unknown. The goalkeeper’s place has now been taken by Christian Palmer, so it is believed he is not in the plans right now.

Valencia are looking at a possible deal. They are considering activating a section to expand Stol Dmitrievsky. If they do, they will likely look for an experienced goalkeeper to back him up. Muric could be that player.

He has played across Europe, including Switzerland, England, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey and Italy this season. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Verona, but made only six appearances during his time there. Still he has experience of Spain.

Valencia transfer option

Now, here at Sport Witness, we would urge caution when it comes to Valencia. Their financial situation is tight, to say the least, and they are not going to spend big bucks on Arizente Muric this summer.

If he wanted to be Dmitrievsky’s backup, that would certainly be the case. More likely they will want a low-cost move or loan deal. Whether Ipswich would approve is debatable.

Even if it was a loan with a purchase option, and Mauriac performed well, it is highly unlikely that Valencia would retain that amount.

Overall, Muric has performed well in Italy this season. There may be other suitors willing to offer a better deal from Valencia this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique could play a key role in snatching Julian Alvarez armory in this summer.

AS reports that the Spanish coach He could play a role in denying Arsenal the big transfer they want from Atletico Madrid.

PSG denies Arsenal

The newspaper states that PSG will not accelerate any transfer moves until their season is over. Since the Champions League final is still to be played, his focus is on the pitch.

However, the first names to strengthen the team are already on the list. And Julian Álvarez is one who could be one of the main protagonists of the summer market. The Argentinian striker is a target for PSG.

In fact, that is a ‘specific request’ from Luis Enrique, who has always been a fan of the striker. They tried to sign him for PSG two years ago. Álvarez refused this and moved to Atlético Madrid instead.

Now sources close to the 26-year-old are reporting that a summer transfer is possible. This has aroused great interest from European clubs.

Arsenal and Barcelona have also expressed interest in acquiring his services. But the presence of Luis Enrique in the fight could tip the scales in favor of PSG.

The Spaniard’s playing style and the excellent work he has done in Paris are factors that could ‘overwhelm’ for the striker. PSG see him as the ideal player, especially if Goncalo Ramos goes as expected.

Arsenal need to move forward now

Thus, Arsenal may need to make a move. For months now reports have been linking them with a possible move for the Argentina star.

But with Enrique’s backing, PSG may be hard to beat ahead of his signing. The French giants can easily outperform Arsenal when it comes to financial matters.

Perhaps a big performance and Arsenal’s victory in the Champions League final could help the Gunners swing the argument in their favor.

Manchester United They now appear to know the level of investment required if they want to make a serious move for Afonso Moreira this summer, with Lyon having already set out a clear valuation for the winger following his breakout campaign in France.

The 21-year-old has become one of the stories of Lyon’s season. Signed from Sporting CP at the start of the campaign for just €2m (£1.7m), Afonso Moreira has burst into life under Paulo Fonseca.

He now has eight goals and 11 assists this season, helping Lyon reach the Ligue 1 Champions League for the first time since 2019/20. His form has forced the French club to hold internal talks over a wage increase, despite his contract already running until 2030.

As we recently coveredManchester United is one of the clubs who have the Portuguese winger firmly on their radar. Serie A and Bundesliga sides are also following him closely.

However, an important detail has now been added to the report: Lyon are only prepared to consider a sale starting at €25m (£21.7m).

Lyon know they have a valuable asset

This figure has been reported by the Portuguese newspaper to ball This represents a huge jump on the fee Lyon paid Sporting less than a year ago. It also shows how quickly Afonso Moreira has established himself in France.

The winger arrived with little fanfare. He is now one of Lyon’s most productive attacking players and has become increasingly important in manager Paulo Fonseca’s system.

Afonso Moreira’s profile also explains the Premier League’s growing attention. He is aggressive in one-vs-one situations, moves quickly in tight spaces and can operate in a variety of tactical setups.

Fonseca has also used him as a wing back in emergency back-three formations.

Sporting wait in the background

The Portuguese report adds that Sporting are also watching the developments carefully as they have secured 20% of any future capital gains when selling the player.

This means the €25m (£21.7m) transfer would net the Portuguese club around €4.6m (£4m).

This section now looks increasingly valuable given the trajectory of Afonso Moreira. His estimated market value has already reached around €10m (£8.7m), but Lyon clearly believe the real figure is much higher.

Manchester United has Special connection with sportingSo a mutually beneficial deal would not be surprising.

what happens next

Manchester United’s interest comes during a period when the club are expected to reshape parts of their attack.

Afonso Moreira certainly fits the profile the club is now looking for. Still, there is little pressure on Lyon to sell, especially if Champions League qualification is secured.

At the moment, the French side has the strongest position in the negotiations. United and other interested clubs at least now know what kind of money is needed to test Lyon’s resolve.

armory The club are the latest to enter the race for Danilo’s rise, with the Botafogo midfielder continuing to attract attention ahead of the World Cup.

The Brazilian midfielder was already attracting serious attention after an impressive start to the season in Brazil, but things are clearly ramping up now as the World Cup approaches.

At this point, there is growing expectation that Danilo will leave Botafogo after the tournament – ​​especially as his value continues to rise almost every week.

The former Nottingham Forest ace has already scored 9 goals and 3 assists in 21 appearances this season, which is an excellent return for a midfielder.

He has become one of the faces of this Botafogo team, has firmly played his part in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans with Brazil and is now expected to be part of his final World Cup squad.

price is rising rapidly

The combination of form, World Cup performances and increased interest in the Premier League is turning Botafogo’s demands very quickly.

A few weeks ago, the conversation around Danilo Was sitting around €30m (£26m). Now the picture looks completely different.

globo esporte Botafogo are said to be looking at a bullish deal in the region of €35m-40m (£30m-34m), while RTI game There are even claims the club will start negotiations at around €45m (£39m).

And the plan is very clear. Botafogo do not want to sell before the World Cup as they believe the tournament could push Danilo into an even higher league financially. Now looking at the number of clubs involved, it’s not hard to see why they think this.

Arsenal made their move

Arsenal entering the race is a big new development. According to Globo Esporte, Arsenal have already made contact with Danilo’s staff.

There have been no formal talks with Botafogo at this stage, but Arsenal are clearly gathering information and positioning themselves around the player.

He is energetic, aggressive without the ball and more productive in attack. His ability to apply pressure, win possession and still get into the box fits the type of dynamic midfielder Mikel Arteta often likes to work with. At 24, there’s also room to move forward.

The Brazilian is also not a traditional holding midfielder. He loves to get forward, attack space and contribute high up the pitch, which helps explain his strong goal numbers this season.

And As we have already coveredHe wants to return to England and show he can progress at the highest level after what happened at Forest.

Naturally, Arsenal will provide a very different playing environment and level of consistency compared to what they arrived at in Nottingham. However, their case has been strengthened with World Cup pedigree and an exceptional year in Brazil.

Premier League clubs everywhere

fulham Remains one of the strongest contenders and has already discussed the figure of €30m (£26m). Manchester United Initial contact has already been made with Botafogo. And newcastle and tottenham Are also in the picture.

Outside England, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco, Benfica, Galatasaray, Milan and Atletico Madrid have all appeared in talks at different moments. Zenit are still interested, but Danilo is not keen on the move just yet.

Arsenal will need to be smart in this regard. Danilo is becoming one of the most wanted midfielders on the market ahead of the World Cup – and the Champions League finalists are now at the middle of the story.

chelsea Now I watch as Estevao flies back to Brazil and begins his recovery, navigating a few stressful days in an uneasy middle ground – even if the World Cup still feels like it’s slipping away.

The teenager’s injury against Manchester United soon became much more than a medical update. First of all, it was about deadlines. Then it became about options. Will there be surgery or not? Take risks now or be cautious later.

As we recently coveredChelsea leaned to one side. Estevao and those around him leaned to the other side.

Now, one path is being taken – even if no one is entirely comfortable with it.

back to familiar surroundings

As confirmed globo esporteEstevao has already been in Brazil since Monday and has begun treatment using the facilities of the Palmeiras club, where everything started for him.

At the same time, Chelsea has also not stepped down. His medical staff remains involved, working with his personal team. Recovery is being shared, viewed from different angles, with everyone trying to pull in the same direction.

However, the big call had already been made. Surgery is off the table.

This option leaves a small door open for the World Cup. It also comes with a level of uncertainty that no one can ignore. The injury itself is serious – close to a complete muscle tear – and they don’t bend easily due to tight schedules.

However, there is something delicate about the decision to fly to Brazil. Staying close to family. To be in a place he knows. In moments like these, those details matter.

Brazil is watching, hoping, doubting

From the outside, Brazil is following every step. They want him there. Even at this age, Estevao has been one of the standout players in this current cycle under Carlo Ancelotti. Already five goals, a growing role, a feeling that he belongs.

still, the mood has changed. Expectations inside the Brazilian setup are now at their most cautious. Words like “very difficult” and “remote” are beginning to appear more frequently. There is hope, but it seems fragile.

Calendar doesn’t help. The team will be announced on May 18. The tournament will start in less than a month. Now every day matters.

A race that can’t wait

Recovery rarely works as fast as the parties involved would like. But Chelsea are watching closely. They have invested in a player they see as part of their future. This thought does not end even with the World Cup looming.

Meanwhile, Estevao is chasing something more urgent. This is the first major tournament and an opportunity that may not come in the same way again.

Somewhere between those two ideas, the current plan took shape.

For now, this allows both parties to move in the same direction. Whether that will get him to the starting line in June is another question entirely.

armory Flamengo are the latest Premier League team to be credited with an interest in midfielder Everton Araujo, but they are entering a situation that has already evolved significantly in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has gone from being a relatively quiet internal option to becoming one of Flamengo’s most valuable assets.

Earlier this year, West Ham United made a preliminary inquiry and internally valued him at around £10.2m (€12m). Newcastle then entered the picture with representatives following their performance.

Furthermore, the Bundesliga club are now believed to be preparing an offer closer to €20m (£17m), while Flamengo are working on a potential contract renewal to strengthen their position.

In other words, the price is rising – and the list of contenders is growing.

Arsenal joins expanding Premier League queue

Arsenal’s emergence adds another layer to a situation that was already developing.

The Gunners have now been named among the clubs to monitor Everton Araujo ball radar. This is a specific outlet that has become quite reliable when it comes to Rio de Janeiro state sides, which is the case of Flamengo.

Although his interest level is not said to be advanced, the midfielder is firmly on the radar of several Premier League teams.

Flamengo are comfortable with this. Internally, the club believes the player still has considerable room for appreciation in the European market. Also, he has also made it clear that any talks will start at a higher price point only.

opportunity to rise

As we covered recently, his rise to Flamengo has been driven by both opportunity and performance, and involves a familiar face at the Gunners. Former Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, who was a regular starter until he was injured, made the starting eleven.

Everton Araújo has taken advantage of this and has consistently performed well, cementing his position in the team.

Even manager Leonardo Jardim praised him, saying so “He is the epitome of a player who is successful in Europe. He has physical ability, he is good in doubles.”

Different levels of interest shape emerging auctions

Arsenal may be the newest name into the picture, but still, they are not alone.

newcastle united Are tracking the player more actively, with internal discussions already taking place regarding a possible move. Constant monitoring of their performance makes their interest appear more concrete.

west ham unitedMeanwhile, were among the first to move forward. They made an initial inquiry at the start of the year, but their £10.2m (€12m) valuation is now looking increasingly out of date. And of course a deal will depend on their Premier League survival.

Beyond England, a Anonymous Bundesliga club The company is understood to be preparing a bid in the region of €20m (£17m). That figure effectively set a new reference point.

Overall, we have clubs at different stages, but the direction is the same. A summer move could materialize rapidly.

What does it mean because flamengo is tenacious

Flamengo are certainly not under pressure to sell.

The club has already rejected lower offers and is now considering a contract renewal to increase security. Furthermore, lower-league side Volta Redonda retain 30% of the player’s economic rights, adding complexity to any potential deal.

With Arsenal now entering the frame, Newcastle monitoring closely, West Ham already positioned and Germany potentially setting the price, auction conditions are emerging.

And for interested clubs, the longer they wait, the more expensive the deal is likely to become.

Atalanta’s Ederson appears closer than ever to going away, and Manchester United Now he is at the forefront of the midfielder race.

From 2024, sports witness The Red Devils’ interest in the midfielder has been covered. They have made initial contact for that but no formal proposal ever came forward.

Ederson remains at Bergamo and so far, there has been no progress on a new deal. Atletico Madrid are also keen, as the player’s current contract expires in 2027.

Manchester United have sensed this as an opportunity and have made a move to the Spanish side for the Brazil international.

Murtaugh can order transfer

tutomercatoweb Note that Ederson has an agreement with Atlético Madrid on personal terms. He agreed to sign a deal worth €4m per season but problems arose during club-to-club negotiations.

Los Rojiblancos made an offer in January but it did not match Atalanta’s valuation.

This has given Manchester United a chance to make their efforts. Discussions have intensified with Ederson’s squad, with John Murtaugh’s presence in Bergamo likely to help the Red Devils.

It is believed an offer of €50m could seal a deal for Michael Carrick’s side. The exact structure of the deal La Dea wants is unknown but Manchester United are now the leading candidates for Ederson.

Rumors are increasing that the 26-year-old will leave in the summer.

nottingham forestArnaud Kalimuendo has been on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt since the winter market.

The Bundesliga side have agreed a €27 million buyout clause with Nottingham Forest but his future after this season remains uncertain.

Kalimuendo arrived at the City Ground from Stade Rennais in August 2025 and failed to score or assist in nine Premier League matches.

In January, the Premier League side sent him on loan to Germany, and the move has gone well so far. The striker played 16 matches, scoring six goals and providing one assist.

His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

• Minutes per game: 76
• Target: 6
• Help: 1
• Expected goal: 4.04
• Expected Support: 1.13
• Big chances made: 3
• Big chances missed: 7

Eintracht Frankfurt have a desire to retain the player who is owned by Nottingham Forest. On 6 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Germany That they can’t afford his €27m clause.

The German club signed Rasmus Christensen on loan with a €15m purchase option. In the end, they increased him from €6m to €8.5m with bonuses. Last month, we broadcast news They are trying to repeat the same trick to retain Kalimuendo.

not giving up nottingham forest man

image Now cover the latest on Arnaud Kalimuendo in a report focusing mainly on Eintracht Frankfurt’s Elie Wahi, who is now on loan at OGC Nice.

Wahi has performed well in France and has scored seven goals and two assists in 15 matches this year. There have been claims that Besiktas are interested in him.

Bild relayed this and insisted he would not leave for less than €20m, and are confident the Turkish club would make a move for Wahi. The Ligue 1 side would also be ready to buy him.

The Bundesliga side did not include any purchase option and believe his price will continue to rise. Their sporting director, Markus Kroesch, is confident of collecting a fair fee for Wahi.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Noel Futkeau is on loan at Greuther Furth and they hope to raise €10m for him in the summer.

Crochet and his team’s ‘big hope’ is to sell Wahi and Futaku to finance a deal for a player owned by Nottingham Forest. There is a €27 million purchase option but he is willing to negotiate with the Reds to reduce the price.

Nottingham Forest have the final say

There is no mention of whether Vitor Pereira’s side are willing to make a discount to Eintracht Frankfurt. Either way, the final decision will rest with the English club.

If the Reds do not do so, the deal will be complicated for the German club. In that case, Arnaud Kalimuendo will have to return to the City Ground and Nottingham Forest and then decide on his future.

His contract with the Premier League team is until 2030, and transfer market He is worth €25 million.

VfL eyeing a move to Wolfsburg west ham united Niklas Fulkrug flopped and believes there is a ‘realistic possibility’ of the deal he wants to make.

sky germany report West Ham are exploring all their options as they look to get rid of the 33-year-old striker this summer.

West Ham’s future uncertain

They report that Niklas Fulkrug’s future at West Ham is uncertain. The striker is currently on loan at AC Milan, but this has not revived his career as he had hoped.

Now West Ham are considering what happens in the summer. They are considering a sale, but possibly also contract termination. Because of that, Wolfsburg ‘senses an opportunity’.

The German side are ‘seriously considering’ the West Ham striker. And they see a real chance of making a move for him this summer.

West Ham are considering several scenarios. The contract termination is likely final, as they are aware that there is interest from Wolfsburg and elsewhere in the Bundesliga.

Former club Werder Bremen is also a possible destination. There is also interest in MLS. Credited to Fiorentina With interest today by reports in Italy.

transfer opportunity

Therefore, it would be unwise for West Ham to terminate his deal at this point. But interested parties are clearly eyeing a deal at a lower price.

Transfermarkt currently values ​​the striker at €5m. West Ham therefore face a significant loss on the €27m they spent on the German in 2024.

But anything is definitely better than nothing, even if it costs less. And given that the striker’s contract runs until 2028, there’s no reason for him to be strong-armed at the moment.

But there is clearly a desire to move Niklas Fulkrug this summer and end his time at the London Stadium. And various clubs are trying to take advantage of this.

nottingham forest And wolverhampton wanderers Talks are ongoing over a summer deal for Martial Munetsi, with Vitor Pereira keen on a deal.

foot market The report adds that Munetsi’s impressive performances on loan at Paris FC have opened the door to a summer transfer.

reinvention in paris

‘After losing his way’ at Wolves Marhasal Munetsi joined Paris FC on loan in the January transfer window.

The deal has proven to be a smart deal for the French side. The 29-year-old has established himself as a key player by scoring four goals in 13 Ligue 1 games as he steered the club away from the relegation zone.

Those demonstrations have also attracted attention from outside France. According to FM sources, Nottingham Forest have identified Munetsi as a target to strengthen their midfield.

The interest appears to be coming from Vitor Pereira, who worked with the 29-year-old at Wolves. He is ‘well aware of the qualities of the player.’ The Portuguese manager is applying pressure internally to finalize the transfer.

The FM reports that the two countries are close to an agreement. Nottingham Forest have already begun discussions with the player’s representatives.

Paris FC is not giving up

However, the story may continue in Paris. According to FM information, Marshal Munetsi has already hinted He wants to stay at Paris FC this summer.

There have been no discussions with Wolves at this time. But that could change quickly as Nottingham Forest continue to make progress.

Nothing is official at the moment and the situation is likely to become clear in the coming weeks. But Nottingham Forest are in the lead at the moment, thanks to Vitor Pereira who is pressing for talks.

Of course, any transfer could depend on their Premier League status. But it seems the Portuguese boss is keen on a reunion at the City Ground this summer.

fulham With Danilo now firmly in the picture, the midfielder has once again become the talk of the town for the Premier League club.

The 24-year-old has rebuilt his reputation at Botafogo since returning from Nottingham Forest, and his current form is making headlines in several markets. He is producing at a level that makes him one of Brazil’s most effective midfielders at the moment.

In all competitions in 2026, Danilo has 10 goals and 3 assists in 23 games. In the league alone, he has scored 7 goals in 10 games, which is an excellent return for a central midfielder. He is scoring once every 3.14 shots and is averaging 2.22 shots per 90 minutes.

Its impact goes beyond the goals. He completes approximately 45 passes per match with an 86.58% accuracy rate, while also making 1.72 key passes per game, regularly creating chances for teammates.

All this has put him firmly in Brazil’s plans. He is now seen as almost a sure name in the squad for the upcoming World Cup, which only increases his visibility and market value. This sets the scene for the latest developments.

Fulham ready to move forward with serious offer

according to globo esporte In Brazil, Fulham have already indicated a willingness to invest around €30m (£26m) for Danilo. This is not the first time The cottagers make a move on him.

The structure will include €22m (£19m) guaranteed and €8m (£7m) in bonuses, bringing them on par with Zenit, who are moving forward with a similar package. Brazilian side Palmeiras also remain interested, but a domestic move is believed to be more complicated.

That price point puts Fulham in a strong position, especially given Botafogo’s financial situation, making a sale in the summer window increasingly likely.

Reference: Instability in Botafogo

Danilo’s rise in 2026 explains why Fulham are making the move now. Beyond statistics, he has also become a key figure behind the scenes at the club. The dressing room in particular is facing uncertainty regarding finances and ownership.

And it explains why Fulham’s timing is not random. Botafogo is dealing with financial issues, and Danilo is internally viewed as one of the club’s most valuable assets. Selling it is seen as a way to raise money.

There has been tension since the beginning of this year. His camp also threatened to terminate his contract Delay in Image Rights Payment. Although the situation was later resolved, it led to instability around the club.

As we covered earlierThere was also an unsuccessful attempt to send Danilo back to Nottingham Forest in January. The deal, which also involved Alvaro Montoro, Blocked after legal intervention Prevented John Textor from completing the transfer without the approval of the club’s social arm.

The texter has recently been banned from the club. And in practical terms, this means that their loans will be viewed more seriously and carefully. So they need to generate income for the summer.

Fulham could benefit from timing

All this creates an openness. Danilo had previously decided to stay at Botafogo until the World Cup, believing that a January exit would not benefit his career. Now, with his value rising and interest growing, the summer window looks like the natural moment for a move.

From Fulham’s point of view, it is A player entering his primeWith Premier League experience, strong current form and a clear desire to return to Europe.

And importantly, this time the move will take place under very different circumstances compared to his forest spell.

Fulham are putting themselves in a position to act.

Pervis Estupian’s struggles at AC Milan continue to grow and the idea of ​​a tottenham Transfer is very much under consideration.

sports witness It previously covered the London club’s interest in the defender, who joined from Brighton last summer. There was excitement over a deal but instead, Davide Bartesaghi has become the first-choice left-back.

This was also evident during Milan’s 0-0 draw against Juventus. Most of the Italian media expected Estupinan to start, but it was the young player who got the nod.

The Ecuadorian came on at half-time but couldn’t really make an impact.

Roberto De Zerbi wants to reunite with Estupinan at Tottenham.

Hope is fading for the defender

milanlive It is also expected that the South American will start against the Old Ladies on Sunday. He made it clear in a report over the weekend, surprised that Estupinon would be given priority over Bartesaghi.

The outlet says that despite scoring a big goal against Inter a few weeks ago, Estupinon is likely to leave Milan in the summer.

Manager Max Allegri appears to disagree and is happy to be on the sidelines. ‘De Zerbi is believed to be ready for that’ for Tottenham, with the left-back seen in a more attacking role at Brighton.

Milan are unlikely to oppose his exit and would only need a small capital gain to sell him. He paid a base fee to Brighton €17 million last summer and Spurs could have brought him to England for any price anywhere near that.

Our opinion: Tottenham may have a dilemma

The British press have already talked about Spurs’ interest in Andy Robertson. The Scotsman could arrive as a free agent, especially if the London club remains in the Premier League.

Estupinan is young and can potentially offer more than the Liverpool player. But he is not a free agent and may also attract more clubs in the summer.

That’s why Tottenham will face a dilemma at the end of the season.

De Zerbi has always been a demanding manager and it will be interesting to see if he puts pressure on him to sign his former player.

The Minnesota Timberwolves picked up a dominant and impressive win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. But Sunday morning, they received devastating news that their entire starting backcourt was out indefinitely.

Superstar Anthony Edwards will be out for “several weeks”.

Edwards was diagnosed with a bone spur and hyperextension of his left knee. Fortunately, imaging revealed no damage to the ligament, but still, the team will be without him for the foreseeable future.

of manchester city The extensive recruitment network continues to gain momentum, and a new name has now emerged following their recent activity in Mexico.

As covered earlier this weekRepresentatives from City Football Group traveled to the country to watch matches and discuss with local contacts.

At the time, no specific targets were confirmed. However, fresh report from ecuador Now let’s point to a solid player on their agenda.

Pedro Witte, who is currently at Pumas UNAM, is said to be on the group’s radar, and efforts are already underway to push a deal through in the next transfer window.

The scouting trip soon connected with the first target.

Pedro Vitae has built a strong reputation in MLS before moving to Pumas, and his profile fits the type of player that City are targeting on the world stage.

Nowadays, the Ecuadorian mainly operates as a deep playmaker, but also often moves high up the pitch. He is left-footed, quick over short distances and relies more on technique than physicality.

His numbers this season underline his ‘organiser’ role. In 31 appearances, he has averaged around 54 passes per game with an 88% completion rate.

In addition, he has recorded 40 key passes and delivered 65 crosses – yes, he also passes into wide areas, usually behind overlapping wing-backs. Those figures highlight both participation and continuity in the occupation.

This type of output matches well with the recruitment patterns seen at City Football Group. They prefer technically secure midfielders who can adapt to multiple systems and leagues.

World Cup timing driving potential deal

As the local outlet notes, Pedro Witte’s position also brings a strategic perspective ecuadorians abroad. City Football Group are reportedly keen to complete a deal before the upcoming World Cup.

The logic is simple. A strong international tournament is likely to increase their valuation, making the initial move more attractive from a financial perspective.

The proposed fee is said to be around €14m (£12m). If completed, it would represent record sales for PUMAS UNAM.

what happens next

The case of Pedro Vitae looks like a natural extension of Manchester City’s ongoing global scouting effort. A recent trip to Mexico now seems less exploratory and more targeted.

It is unclear which club within the City Football Group will be his initial destination. Verona, New York City FC or another associated side could make a move ahead of any potential move to Manchester.

At present, there is no confirmation of further talks. Still, the combination of in-person scouting and emerging reports suggests it will be one to watch closely in the coming weeks.

If the group moves forward quickly, it will follow a well-established pattern – identifying talent early, acting before major tournaments, and gradually integrating players within its multi-club structure.

angel gomes will go wolverhampton wanderers Summer and return to Olympique Marseille.

report team The 25-year-old midfielder will not remain at Molineux before the end of the season after joining on loan in the January transfer window.

wolves come out

A report earlier this week It is said that it is ‘extremely unlikely’ that Wolves will sign Angel Gomes on a permanent basis this summer.

L’Équipe is now insisting that it is solid. Gomes will return to Marseille when his loan deal expires.

According to his knowledge, Wolves’ relegation from the Championship, which was confirmed this week, has also confirmed Gomes’ fate.

Staying in the Premier League will trigger a mandatory purchase option. But Marseille knew that was unlikely in January. Therefore, they approved the deal in the hope that Gomes would be able to ‘prove his worth’ in England.

Gomes was also hoping to give himself even the slightest chance of a place in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad.

Summer transfer possibility

He will not be joining Wolves permanently, nor is he likely to be included in the World Cup squad. But transfer can happen in any situation.

The former Lille player has ‘always dreamed’ of playing in the Premier League. And with a contract until 2028, this could be the last window in which Marseille can secure profits.

The Ligue 1 side certainly would not want Angel Gomes to enter the final year of his deal. As a result, a transfer now seems ‘likely’. That is unless manager Habib Bey or his successors decide to keep him. But if they did, a new contract would be required.

Marseille will have to take this decision in the coming months. For now, one thing is certain, Gomes will not be staying at Wolves. His return to the Championship has at least confirmed this.

Venezia’s Issa Doumbia is now attracting people’s attention everton And newcastle unitedHas attracted other British clubs before.

In December, sports witness Covered Celtic’s scouting mission for the midfielder. Southampton were also in the running, having made an offer to sign him last summer.

It was made very late in the window, leaving Venezia little time to sign a replacement. As a result, Doumbia remained in Venice and is now moving rapidly.

He has played 34 times in Serie B, scoring six times and assisting five times. It has been crucial for the Lagurani, who top the table and are on the verge of a return to Serie A.

This also means increased attention around Doumbia. Newcastle United and Everton are well into the race, with major Italian sides also keen.

Besiktas talks continue

New Venice – Go tutomercatowebLet’s see where the 22-year-old’s future may lie.

Newcastle United and Everton have ‘expressed interest’ in the Italian, with Inter Milan and Roma keeping a close eye on his development.

It doesn’t end there, as Besiktas are really working to land him. There is an agreement on individual terms between Doumbia and the Turkish side, with an offer of €15m already on the table from Venezia.

Talks are also ongoing between the two clubs, with Besiktas pushing to close a deal.

Meanwhile, the Venice club plans to use that money and strengthen their attack upon Doumbia’s departure.

Our Opinion: The deal is not done yet

It feels like an effort is being made to raise Doumbia’s profile, in order to attract as many clubs as possible. While Besiktas may be interested, a report Marco Conterio There is also no mention of Turkish clubs.

Furthermore, how Venezia’s season ends will define everything. They are three points clear at the top and could be pushed into the playoff zone.

That’s why Everton and Newcastle United should keep an eye on Doumbia. He boasts the ability to cover ground and adds unpredictability in the final third. Doumbia also places a strong emphasis on winning the ball back, making him a good fit for English football.

A new rumor claims that long before the Cincinnati Bengals traded for Dexter Lawrence, they were eyeing a deal for the star defensive lineman. However, the deal fell apart for a very special reason.

Last week, the Bengals shocked many in the NFL when they gave up their chance to make the 10th selection in this week’s NFL Draft to acquire defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants. The three-time Pro Bowler was disgruntled and was coming off a poor season, so many thought the Giants would be lucky if they got a second-rounder for his services.

Whether you like the cost of the trade or not, the Bengals are still significantly better off on defense for 2026. They desperately needed to do something, especially after losing Trey Hendrickson to division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens in free agency.

Reports indicate that the Lawrence trade came together quickly. So did the Bengals have someone else in mind to trade with their pick at No. 10? According to Essential Sports NFL insider Tony Pauline, the answer is yes.

The Cincinnati Bengals attempted to trade for Max Crosby.

“Sources told me that long before the Bengals traded the draft’s 10th pick to the Giants for Lawrence, the team had discussed trading that selection to the Las Vegas Raiders for Maxx Crosby. But the Bengals were unwilling to match the pair of first-round picks that the Ravens initially sent to Vegas for Crosby before a failed physical deal voided the deal.”

Landing the five-time Pro Bowler would have been a huge accomplishment and would have given Bengals fans hope of winning an AFC North title in 2026. Additionally, in addition to being an elite pass rusher who is still only 28 years old, he comes in at a reasonable rate and is set to make an average of $28 million through 2029.

After Crosby failed his physical, pundits claimed it would be difficult for Las Vegas to acquire two first-rounders in another deal this offseason. They were right.

brighton Having begun to feel the impact of the Igor Julio situation, Brazilian clubs are now actively trying to make a move to meet the club’s demands ahead of the summer window.

The defender has since returned to the Seagulls Loan spell at West Ham. For now, he is expected to stay in Europe only. However, the narrative around that has clearly changed. Rather than push for a move now, Brazilian clubs are already planning for July.

Interest in home country is increasing

The Brazilian club are now struggling to create the financial position necessary to deal with Brighton several brazilian reports.

Palmeiras has already tried earlier this year. They inquired but decided not to proceed primarily because of cost. Same thing happened with his former club, cruise. And that hasn’t changed. Brighton are pushing for a permanent deal and are not interested in another loan.

There is also some confusion regarding valuation. Earlier reports had pointed to a minimum fee of around £6m (€7m). Now, claims in Brazil suggest the figure to be closer to £10 million (€12 million). Either way, it’s a significant number for clubs in that market.

Palmeiras engineering runs until July

The new report states that Igor Julio remains firmly on Palmeiras’ radar, and the club are now considering ways to make a deal possible. One of the ideas involves selling another player, Bruno Rodrigues, to Cruzeiro on a permanent basis.

Bruno Rodriguez is currently on loan at Belo Horizonte, and Palmeiras have no plans to bring him back. The deal includes a purchase option worth around £4m (€5m), and club officials see it as a potential starting point to raise funds for the left-footed centre-back.

This is where Igor Julio comes in. He fits the profile that Palmeiras want, and more importantly, the timing now aligns with a potential return to Brazil in the middle of the year.

what happens next

The real action is happening behind the scenes. Palmeiras is trying to make room in the budget. Cruzeiro remains a part of the series as both a past lover and a potential buyer in this setup.

Meanwhile, Brighton are holding their own. And because of that, any deal now depends less on interest and more on whether the Brazilian club can actually put together a package that works.

This is a story for summer. But its foundation stone is already being laid.

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.

newcastle united And Aston Villa Keep Galatasaray’s Gabriel Sarra on your radar for the summer.

The midfielder spent two years at Norwich City before leaving for the Turkish club in August 2024.

He has been a regular for Galatasaray, and Newcastle United and Aston Villa could bring him back to England.

The Brazilian has played 87 matches so far, scoring eight goals and 15 assists, six of which have come in 42 matches this season.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 21
• Total minutes: 1,840
• Interceptions per game: 0.6
• Tackles per game: 1.0
• Possession won (final third): 0.5
• Recovered balls per game: 2.7
• Clearance per game: 0.6
• Duels won per game: 3.1

Back in January, Sport Witness Covered claims from Türkiye Sunderland and Fulham as serious suitors. However, none were successful in the winter market.

Two months ago, we broadcast news The Black Cats and Leeds United are in talks over a potential deal for the 26-year-old.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa join the chase

spores According to reports, two Premier League teams have emerged as new contenders for Gabriel Sara from England.

Galatasaray will face Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday and then host Fenerbahçe in the derby match on Saturday.

Both Eddie Howe’s team and the Villans will send their scouts to Reims Park to keep a close eye on the South American against another Istanbul club on April 26.

The Turkish champions, for their part, are ready to sell the former Norwich City man in the next window. There is an express stipulation that Galatasaray will ‘absolutely not accept’ any offer below €30m.

At the moment, Newcastle United and Aston Villa will continue to monitor Sarah later this month and the decision on the next step will depend on the information gathered by their officials.

The report does not clarify the player’s stance on a potential transfer in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

With a contract until 2029, transfer market Gabriel Sarra is valued at €22 million, which is at least €8 million less than Galatasaray’s asking price.

Brazilian agent Carlos Leite is representing the midfielder. His client list consists mostly of players from his country, including Wolverhampton Wanderers pair Joao Gomes and Andre.

Palmeiras’ Allan has performed well since breaking into the Brazilian club’s first team and is now attracting interest Aston Villa And newcastle united.

last week, sports witness A comprehensive look at the winger’s situation. The Magpies were then said to be competing with Liverpool for his signature, having worked out a payment structure to land him.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras president Leila Pereira also appears to be hesitant about the sale of the wide attacker.

Despite being a key player, the 22-year-old may now call it quits Vardao, because the pressure from England is continuously increasing. Along with Newcastle United, Aston Villa have also emerged as contenders for the Brazilian.

Palmeiras is not giving discounts

here comes asromalive In Italy, as they appear certain of competition from Roma and Napoli for Allan. Both clubs also competed for Richard Ríos when he was at Palmeiras, but he missed out due to the arrival of Benfica.

Once again they may miss. This is because England is emerging as a possible destination for the winger.

The report includes interest from Newcastle United but also highlights competition from Aston Villa. The matter does not end here as Liverpool, Chelsea and Zenit St. Petersburg are also seen in the race.

Palmeiras is in no mood to make things easy for his fans. they demand €35 million to €40 million for a permanent sale, the same as last week’s report.

Even in the case of Richard Rios, the Brazilian side managed to stand their ground. Once again, they will do just that and stick to their guns over the summer.

Our opinion: The deal could come down to the money

Earlier, Sport Witness covered how payment terms could block Allan’s Palmeiras exit. Ideally they want the entire fee to be paid in a short time frame, rather than the money reaching them in multiple installments.

This will be important for Aston Villa and Newcastle United. The common practice in England has been to hand players long-term contracts, spreading payments over four or five years.

Amidst all this, the stance presented by Allen’s team will be very important.

It is believed they will prioritize a summer sale, with Palmeiras likely to make a move. But if those around the player really want a transfer, they may have to force it at the end of the European season.

Denzel Dumfries has since turned a corner liverpool Came forward for them in January. The Reds may have another opportunity to acquire a wing-back.

In the winter window, sports witness Viewpoints covered widely. This was also confirmed by Nerazzurri CEO Beppe Marotta, as the Dutchman was injured at the time.

It hasn’t taken long for Dumfries to make its mark. He scored a vital two goals away to Como a few days earlier, helping Inter move closer to the Serie A title. Earlier, he had also played an important role in the team in place of Luis Henrique.

Now, tuttomerkatoweb Have looked into its future, it has become clear that things are far from certain.

Release clause will apply

The outlet says the Netherlands international is ‘stronger than ever’ after ankle problem. Even though that injury troubled him for three months, it had no impact on his performance.

They call him a potential star of the World Cup and this could also decide his future.

This is because the 29-year-old has a release clause of €25m. This will come into effect in the summer and will only be relevant for foreign clubs.

The report adds to previous interest from Liverpool, with them also hopeful of a summer deal. Inter will have no control over the deal due to the clause.

Dumfries has also been described as a ‘highly respected’ player, with Barcelona having previously tried to sign him. Come summer, his future may ultimately lie elsewhere.

Inter have identified Marco Palestra as a replacement and do not want to be surprised by Dumfries’ departure.

Our opinion: Dumfries promoted in the best light

Seems like an attempt is being made to talk about Dumfries’ release clause. This will put pressure on Inter, who will not want to sell him at such a cheap price.

This could also be a way to force a renewal and Liverpool’s previous interest is probably being used to this end.

The Reds currently have two full-back options in the team. Furthermore, Dumfries has always been a wing-back who consistently operates in the final third. This makes it easy to question Liverpool’s interest, as the Reds have other issues to address within the squad.

bournemouth An attempt was made to sign Luis Henrique from Inter Milan in the January transfer window. The Cherries are now pushing for a summer deal.

The Brazilian joined the Nerazzurri from Marseille last summer. The deal came amid much anticipation, especially after the versatile winger impressed in France. He contributed 15 goals in 33 Ligue 1 games in his final campaign, earning him a move to Italy.

Things are very different in Italy. He was left on the bench several times in the first half of the season. sports witness Covered how keen Bournemouth and other clubs were in January.

Inter were pushing to sign Ivan Perisic as a potential replacement. That deal was never completed, resulting in Cherries being barred from signing Louis Henrique.

Things haven’t changed much, e.g. interest Learn about wing-backs in detail.

Bournemouth leads the race

In January, the likes of Aston Villa and Everton were also said to be keen on the player. Now, it is only Bournemouth who are pushing for a deal.

The outlet has made it clear that ‘€25m is on the table’ from Bournemouth, who can now seal the deal. This is because Inter would not mind making money this way.

Even the players will be very happy with the move, they have expressed their desire to play in England. If other Premier League clubs come forward for him, he will consider them as well.

Inter do not see the sale of Luis Henrique as a priority but have identified Marco Palestra as a replacement. If they earn €25 million from Bournemouth, it could be used to sign the Atalanta wing-back.

Our take: Bournemouth must keep trying

There are indications that Inter would be keen to sell the Brazil international. The 24-year-old has shown inconsistency throughout the campaign and has looked sloppy when it comes to finding the final ball.

But he has the running ability that can thrive in the Premier League. Bournemouth have several players of that type, with Luis Henrique likely to be more involved.

A €25 million deal could work out quite well, especially considering how well he performed in France.

Manchester City ES Troyes are showing interest in AC’s Mathis Detourbet ahead of the summer transfer window.

City Football Group also owns Manchester City and the League 2 team.

Last December, Sports Witness Covered claims from France The Premier League team is trying to sign the 18-year-old player.

The same source also said that he has already visited the Etihad club facilities. AS Monaco and Italian clubs are also in the mix and the City Football Group connection gives Manchester City the edge.

He is a product of the French club’s youth system and broke into their first team in 2025. The winger has made 47 appearances so far with 33 coming this season.

His Ligue 2 statistics are as follows:

• Total minutes: 1,874
• Minutes per game: 65

Conflicting claims on Manchester City

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri took xES Troyes AC’s Mathis to report the latest on Detourbet, formerly known as Twitter.

He says it is his exclusive report that Manchester City are now close to securing the services of the young talent.

Tavolieri further added that Pep Guardiola’s side have reached an agreement for a fee of around €15m and that would see him return to the French club on loan next season.

After this report, French journalist Santi Auna also came. x To share my perspective on this matter. He wasted no time in dismissing Tavolieri’s claims of a deal being agreed upon between the two clubs.

The Foot Mercato reporter says Manchester City are indeed interested in the France U19 international but there is currently ‘no agreement’ with Troyes.

As well as the Premier League team, other unnamed clubs are also expressing interest in the player valued at €25m.

Should the Citizens and Troyes agree terms for his transfer, it is not a given that Detourbet would return on loan. Aouna claims the Frenchman must decide on his future, indicating he has not yet decided where he wants to play next season.

Contract, price and agent information

Last May, Mathis Detourbet signed a contract until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €10 million.

ISF Sports, the agency headed by French agent Thibaut Urian, is looking after his interest and future.

British boxer Connor Benn has signed a new multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, expanding his partnership with the group led by Dana White and Turki Alalshikh. The announcement on Friday came just days after Benn defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 12.

The 10-round catchweight bout marked Benn’s first appearance under Zuffa since leaving Matchroom Boxing earlier this year. The new deal confirms his long-term commitment to the promotion after a short-term deal which reportedly paid him £11.19 million for the Progress fight.

Strong start builds long-term Zuffa commitment

Ben’s performance against Progress was instrumental in securing a new deal. He controlled the fight in all 10 rounds and won by clear decision on the scorecards. The result improved his professional record and brought Zuffa Boxing early success in the sport.

The April 12 event attracted attention as one of Zuffa’s first major boxing shows. Benn’s victory showed that he could operate in a high-profile setting outside the traditional campaign structure. It also supported Zuffa’s aim of holding competitive matchups with recognized names.

After the fight, Ben confirmed his new deal. “Yeah guys, I just signed a new multi-fight deal that I’m very, very excited about. Our visions are the same; our goal is the same: to win world titles, but, more importantly, to give the people the fights they want. Mega fights. If you guys want it, you guys can get it,” he said.

Dana White also confirmed the agreement. White said, “Conor and I signed a new deal after his one-fight deal. We’re excited to have him. We’re ready for some big fights.” His statement reinforced Zuffa’s focus on staging major bouts as part of its long-term planning.

Deal sets new direction by separating from Matchroom

Benn’s decision to remain with Zuffa follows his departure from Matchroom Boxing, which is led by Eddie Hearn. The move ended a long-standing relationship and moved Ben away from the traditional UK boxing structure.

His first deal with Zuffa was a single-fight deal. The new agreement expands that arrangement into a multi-conflict commitment. Reports indicate that the deal may involve several fights over several years, although the exact terms have not been publicly confirmed.

The deal places Ben among the premier fighters on Zuffa’s growing roster. The promotion aims to establish itself as a dominant force in boxing by holding events on larger platforms and focusing on high-profile matchups.

Ben turned professional in 2016 and is undefeated by no contest against Chris Eubank Jr. His recent win and new deal mark an important step in his career as he continues to pursue a world title.

Zuffa Boxing is still in its early stages, but the company has moved quickly to sign notable fighters. Ben’s decision to proceed with his deal confirms his role in that scheme. The announcement Friday adds another development to the ongoing changes in boxing promotions as new organizations look to compete with established names.

The only positive side of the New York Jets’ ugly three-win season in 2025 was landing the No. 2 pick in this month’s NFL Draft. Although it’s not the top pick, the team may still get the best player in the 2026 class as the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to take Fernando Mendoza – the best QB in the quarterback class in week one – with the No. 1 pick.

For several weeks, the Jets have been projected to take Texas Tech’s David Bailey or Ohio State star Arvel Reese. However, there is another option, and that is to use their very valuable selection in a trade to accumulate additional picks and fill more needs, or acquire a proven star from a rival team. Especially since he is the second selection in Round 1 (No. 16).

With that in mind, let’s take a look at four bold trades the Jets could make with the No. 2 pick in next week’s NFL Draft.

trade for max crosby

One of the biggest surprises this offseason was the Baltimore Ravens’ backtracking on their blockbuster trade for five-time Pro Bowler Max Crosby. That deal would have given the Raiders a pair of first-round draft picks, including the 16th pick the following week.

If Las Vegas still wants to move Crosby, they are unlikely to get two first-down picks after the pass rusher’s medical records are referred to the Ravens’ medical team. However, acquiring the No. 2 pick, as well as the Jets’ additional picks in rounds 2 and 4, and the third in 2027, could trouble the Raiders. This would help Las Vegas get the QB they need in one class and possibly the best player in this year’s class in two.

Traded to Kansas City Chiefs for picks No. 9 and 29

With the current streak of 15 years out of the playoffs and one 3-win year, the Jets need all the elite and affordable prospects they can get. That’s why they could consider a deal where they give up their selection for two first-rounders (Nos. 9 and 29) to the Kansas City Chiefs.

With the pick at nine, they could go after a top cornerback like LSU’s Mansur Delaney or Ohio State stud receiver Carnell Tate. With that fourth and final pick in Round 1, another corner like Colton Hood or QB prospect Ty Simpson could be an option.

Trade for Ja’Marr Chase

If Aaron Glenn wants Geno Smith to return to his Pro Bowl form, the more weapons the better. That’s why using their pick at No. 2 and going after an elite weapon like the Cincinnati Bengals’ superstar receiver Jamar Chase should be in play.

The Bengals are a mess and have invested a lot of money in three players on offense. Although they would love to keep Chase, he is the best business asset they can consider transferring. That would give them two top-10 picks and a chance to replace star pass rusher, Trey Hendrickson.

Trade up for picks No. 12 and 20 to the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are another first-round team that has a couple of options. Jerry Jones will likely fall by himself to go No. 2 overall. Because of the value, New York could get the likes of Dallas on days 12 and 20, as well as something on the third day of the event.

In such a deal, the Jets could use the second pick at No. 12 to go after a top offensive lineman like Kaidin Proctor or Francis Mauigoa, and at No. 20, they could target receiver Denzel Boston or defensive tackle Peter Woods as a potential replacement for Quinnen Williams.

The Detroit Tigers have made a surprise shutout of a rising star in MLB. The Tigers and infielder Kevin McGonigal have finalized an eight-year, $150 million contract extension, the team announced. McGonigle, who made his MLB debut in March, could make up to $160 million with a contract escalator for the final three seasons.

The 21-year-old infielder’s contract covers the 2027 to 2034 MLB seasons. This covers McGonigal’s five seasons of club control and his first three years of free agency. The new contract essentially guarantees McGonigle an additional season of service. This will take him until his 30th birthday.

The lifespan of a baseball player usually ranges from 26 to 29 years.

Details of Kevin McGonigal’s contract with the Detroit Tigers

To start the 2026 MLB season, McGonagle is batting .311 with one home run and eight runs batted in in 17 games. The 21-year-old also has a .908 on-base percentage with eight strikeouts and 11 walks. McGonigle was known for his elite plate discipline in the minor leagues, and this has translated to MLB.

This is a shocking development for Detroit. Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris shut down McGonigal before he began producing consistently at the elite level. Entering the 2026 MLB season, McGonagall was ranked as the No. 2 prospect in baseball, behind Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Connor Griffin.

McGonigal will make $1 million in 2027, $7 million in 2028, $16 million in 2029, $21 million in 2030, $22 million in 2031, and $23 million from 2032 to 2034. Escalators could increase his 2032 salary by $25 million, his 2033 salary by $26 million and his 2034 salary by $26 million. $28 million.

The Tigers knew McGonigal’s potential, and they stepped up. Now, Detroit has locked up McGonigle during his prime years in MLB.

SunderlandBrian Brobbey has performed well so far in his first season in the Premier League.

The Netherlands international arrived at the Stadium of Light from Ajax for €20m in September and has taken time to adjust.

After overcoming initial difficulties, the striker began to impress for Sunderland and this allowed him to return to the national team in March. He has scored six goals and provided one assist so far for the Black Cats.

His Premier League statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 25
• Start: 16
• Total minutes: 1,470
• Minutes per game: 59
• Target: 6
• Help: 1
• Expected target: 4.49
• Expected Support: 0.48
• Big chances made: 2
• Big chances missed: 9

Last month, the 24-year-old explained by working He has had the help of Rotterdam-based expert Patrick Vorst to improve his game. This has not gone unnoticed as UK’s latest claims mention Bayern Munich’s strong interest in him.

Bayern’s stance on Sunderland player

T.Z Germany broadcasts claims made in England about the interests of the Bundesliga winners and then gives its own opinion.

Harry Kane is the first-choice striker for Vincent Kompany, with Nicholas Jackson as his backup. The latter is on loan from Chelsea and is likely to return to his parent club after this season.

Bayern Munich will therefore need to find a new striker in the summer and Brian Brobby could be an option.

It seems that the Bavarian club has not yet decided who can replace Jackson.

TZ state Bayern Munich must first carefully evaluate whether the 24-year-old is the best option as Kane’s backup. Even if he is, the finances required to secure his services could be a concern for the German club.

The Dutchman is currently valued at €40m plus he has a long contract with Sunderland, which puts Regis Le Bris’s side in a comfortable position to demand a higher fee.

These factors make the frontman an ‘expensive transfer target’ for Bayern Munich. This shows that the company is not willing to spend too much on a backup striker.

Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon is also on their agenda, and he could operate further back. He could be a better option for Bayern Munich than the Sunderland player.

Contract, price and agent information

Brian Brobby’s contract is until 2029, and transfer market He is now worth €25 million. It would not be surprising if the Black Cats offer him an extension in the coming weeks.

Agency Sport Cover, led by agent Misa N’Diaye, is representing the Sunderland star.

Paulo Costa has important decisions to make after his third-round knockout of Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327 in Miami. “Borrachinha” moved up to light heavyweight for the bout and handed previously undefeated Murzakanov the first defeat of his career, and has since revealed that his current deal with the UFC has almost expired.

Talking to AG. In the post-fight win, Costa was clear about where things stood contractually. “I have one fight left on this contract,” he said. “Let’s see what happens next. I think we’re probably in a good position to fight for the belt.”

Following a win over middleweight Roman Kopylov, the win over Murzakanov extended Costa’s win streak to two fights. Costa believes the quality of his recent opponents and the manner of his victories put him in a credible position to earn a title shot at 185 or 205 pounds. He specifically pointed to Murzakanov’s undefeated record and his sixth ranking in the official UFC light heavyweight rankings as proof that his latest win holds real significance in the title picture conversation.

With his contract expiring, the UFC has already approached Costa about an extension. His comments suggest he is in no rush to sign and wants to carefully evaluate his options before committing. “The UFC already wanted to renew the contract,” Costa said. “We’re seeing if we do one more thing and then sit down to negotiate.” He was also clear that his intention was not to simply test the market or look for a more attractive deal elsewhere. “I’m very grateful to the UFC,” he said. “But this is my life, right?”

Costa’s backstage interview time added an interesting layer to the evening’s events. Moments after he spoke, Carlos Ulberg defeated Jiri Prochazka in the opening round of the UFC 327 main event to capture the Light Heavyweight Championship, doing so on one leg after suffering an apparent knee injury during the fight. Ulberg has not yet disclosed a diagnosis or timetable for his return to the Octagon, which adds uncertainty to the 205-pound title picture that Costa now has his sights set on.

Manchester United Spent months preparing for life after Casemiro. At various points this season, that change seemed inevitable.

The midfielder lost prominence, his salary became a topic internally, and interest began to come from multiple markets.

Then came the twist. Casemiro rediscovered form, scoring goals and re-establishing his leadership in key matches. This restarted talks at Old Trafford. A renewal, once unlikely, is back on the table.

Still, the broader picture never completely changed. Casemiro is 34, one of the highest-paid signings in the team, and is approaching the end of his contract. United are working towards a more sustainable wage structure, and midfield development remains part of their plans.

At the same time, Casemiro made his position clear. He wants to stay abroad and remain at a high competitive level. Brazil was excluded. Europe remained in the game. Both Saudi Arabia and MLS put pressure on him to convince.

Now, Brazilian sources claim the result has been decided.

Inter Miami move agreed following Manchester United’s exit

as mentioned RTI gameCasemiro has reached an agreement to join Inter Miami, and the move is expected to take place after the season ends. The deal runs until December 2028 with the option of an additional year, and positions him as one of the faces. mls project.

Its foundation stone was laid with Brazil during his recent visit to the United States. While on international duty, Casemiro held meetings with Inter Miami officials. Those discussions focused on his role as a central figure in both sporting and business terms.

The financial package proved decisive. Casemiro currently earns around £36m per year at Manchester United. Inter Miami is set to offer a figure that will almost double that amount, along with bonuses and image rights involvement.

Free transfer exit shows wide joint variation

Casemiro will leave Manchester United as a free agent. He has opted not to trigger the extension clause in his current deal, allowing him to depart without a transfer fee.

The decision suits Inter Miami, which can redirect funds toward salaries and incentives. For Manchester United, this confirms a clean break. The club has lost an experienced player but has also removed one of the highest paid players from the wage bill.

The move is in line with a wider restructuring of the club. United are looking to refresh their midfield options and reduce long-term financial commitments.

Next step will be revealed after the World Cup

Casemiro is expected to wait until after the World Cup to make the move public. He remains a key figure for Brazil and wants to avoid distractions ahead of the tournament.

However, internally the direction is clear. Manchester United will move on without him, while Inter Miami are preparing to sign a player they still believe can perform at a high level.

For United, change is coming. Now, it finally has a destination.

Lorenzo Lucca is struggling nottingham forest Since his arrival in January. Now, Napoli is already making plans about his future.

The Italian scored on his debut against Leeds United earlier this season. Since then, he has played only two games in the Premier League and has not been in the team for five consecutive matches.

sports witness The Italian press has covered the reaction to this. Question marks are being raised on his attitude tutomercatoweb Also noting some details of the ankle injury.

This suggests that his absence from action is due to a fitness issue. Despite this, it seems that his future at Nottingham Forest is already sealed and his valuation has dropped significantly.

Napoli wants around €18 million for sale

arianapoli Note that the obligation of Napoli to buy Lucca from Udinese was €35m. He never really broke through in Naples and that is why he transferred to Nottingham Forest.

The Partenopei are watching things closely and are aware that he will return to the club in the summer. Antonio Conte’s side are now keen to make a move for him in the summer and are happy to accept a loss on the deal.

As a result, they value him at between €18m and €20m, with Nottingham Forest not interested in any permanent deal.

Napoli intend to sell the striker permanently in order to recover as much as possible before his price drops further.

Things seem tough for Lucca

It feels like the Italian’s injury problems are being largely ignored, even though it has been widely covered in the press. This is probably why he has not played in the Premier League for several weeks.

Furthermore, he has not always been used enough to prove himself. Within weeks of his arrival, Nottingham Forest changed managers and that probably didn’t help either.

That’s why the current spell says little about the 25-year-old’s abilities. He proved himself well at Udinese and also earned a place in the national team. The striker once again needs consistency to really make a mark next season.

If anything, Napoli should be blamed for poor management of their resources.
