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

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

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

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

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

Aston Villa player carefully evaluates next step

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Villains likely to get loan approval

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

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

Manchester United Barcelona are ‘willing to compromise’ on their stance regarding Marcus Rashford as they look for a better deal.

game Report that Manchester United intend to stay until June 15^th But Rashford now wants to negotiate if he is not a priority for Barcelona’s management.

Change in position of Manchester United

Manchester United ‘could be over’ in saga over Marcus Rashford’s future, newspaper suggests.

They thought they were about to complete a major transfer with the 28-year-old, but Barcelona’s refusal to pay a €30m purchase option left them irked. He was angry earlier but has now turned from anger to practicality.

Manchester United officials have made it clear that they are ready to negotiate a different and more advantageous solution for Barcelona. This comes after the realization that Rashford is preferring to stay at the Camp Nou and is completely closed to any other offers.

United had previously insisted they would not accept a cut given Rashford’s performances at Barcelona this season. Barça took notice of this and tried to negotiate a new deal with the forward, who was willing to take a pay cut in order to stay.

An agreement was reached, but not with Manchester United. All negotiations were controlled by Rashford’s representatives, who attempted unsuccessfully to secure another loan.

Barcelona changed plans

Barcelona went in the other direction and purchased Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. This makes Rashford’s position uncertain. Since the Gordon deal was struck, Manchester United have gone from complete silence to anger to reformulating their plans.

Now there is acceptance that saving his entire salary next season will pay off. They are now eager to negotiate, but Barcelona are focused on signing a center forward.

He feels that he has improved his negotiating position a lot. Any decision will be taken only after the striker is selected. Nothing is being ruled out, although it is unlikely Rashford will return at this time.

As for Ou, they will wait until the transfer window progresses before making their move. Even Manchester United is now ready to change its stance.

Fabio Vieira’s future armory A decision may not be made until August as HSV Hamburg plays the long game to take the 26-year-old on his terms.

image The report adds that the disparity between Hamburg and Arsenal when it comes to asking price could prevent his return to Hamburg.

Guaranteed to get out of the arsenal

The newspaper explains that time Fabio Vieira could fancy a return to the German club, reports say After a season on loan this summer, he is not interested in a last-minute deal.

The same happened last year and he would love to seal a deal for the start of pre-season training on 6 July.^th/7^th.

Hamburg have already held ‘intensive talks’ with Vieira about a return this summer. Sporting director Klaus Costa and coach Merlin Polzin outlined their plans. It appears that they have succeeded in convincing the midfielder to leave Arsenal permanently.

But this step is complicated. The loan deal included a €22m purchase option, but Hamburg could not afford it. They want a ‘high single-digit million euro amount’ at most. It is unclear whether Arsenal will accept this or not. A report in Germany today says they want €10-15 million.

arsenal in no hurry

The gunners have not sent any signal yet. Naturally his focus was on the Champions League final.

Even now, Vieira is not a hot topic. Although they don’t want him back, the Premier League market hasn’t caught up yet. That probably won’t happen for a few weeks, especially with the World Cup.

Therefore, Arsenal are in no rush to agree a deal at the moment. If Fabio Vieira and HSV want to reach an agreement, they will need ‘a lot of patience’.

The midfielder’s agents will need to make a firm commitment to the German side and reject other offers. Only then will Hamburg get a chance in the final stages of the transfer window in August.

He needs Arsenal to significantly reduce his demands. If they do not do so, or Vieira’s current stance weakens, they will lack the financial strength to complete a deal.

Valencia received huge incentives for signing Aston VillaAndres Garcia this summer.

Last month, we broadcast news After failing in January, Los Angeles made a new attempt and contacted the 23-year-old’s agent.

On 27 May, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain The Spanish club have stepped up talks as Carlos Corberán and Valencia CEO Ron Gourley are betting on Garcia.

The fullback has not enjoyed a good run since arriving at Villa Park from Levante in January 2025.

He played 109 minutes in eight matches and 83 minutes in six Premier League matches this season.

aston villa decide

sports tribune Report Valencia’s priority is to sign a right-back this summer. Thierry Correia will leave when his contract expires in June and Dimitri Fauquier has been out with injury since February and will not return until November.

This forces Los Angeles to consolidate that position, and Andres Garcia is the main target. A possible move depends on Unai Emery greenlighting his exit.

The Aston Villa manager has given the go-ahead for the Spaniard to go out on loan, sources tell Tribuna Deportiva. It is likely to include a buyout clause, but it won’t be cheap.

Elche CF and unnamed Serie A sides have shown interest in him, but Valencia are in the driving seat to secure the fullback’s services. The player also likes Mestalla’s move.

Tuesday’s edition of As There is a report on the defender, headlined: ‘Uni Emery approves loan offer for Andres Garcia.’

In the report, they explain why the Europa League winners agreed to let him go out on loan.

The Villans manager believes it is appropriate for his compatriot to evaluate offers as early as this summer. There are two reasons for this.

First, both parties can choose the destination that best suits them. Aston Villa may want to reward Garcia for deciding to stay in January if Emery needs him in the rotation. This is the second reason.

Both Valencia and Elche tried to sign him in January and are in a position to sign him.

The Aston Villa player is seriously considering joining Los Angeles, amid interest from other clubs. However, the latter has not yet contacted the English club.

Loan move is a win-win for all parties

A loan move to a club like Valencia would allow Andrés García to enjoy regular playing time, which in turn improves his value. This benefits both the player and Aston Villa.

At the same time, Los Angeles can sign a player without making any significant investment.

He has a contract until 2029, and transfer market He is worth €7 million.

Arne Slott was fired liverpool Ibrahima Konate’s plans will not change, he is almost certainly leaving Anfield this summer.

L’Equipe reports today ‘It’s definitely over’ for the French centre-back at Liverpool after his switch this week.

liverpool exit

The French newspaper reports that the 27-year-old has announced to his Liverpool teammates that there will be no change of heart. He will not extend his contract with Liverpool beyond this summer.

The centre-back is set to become a free agent at the end of the month. Reports initially stated that he would sign a new deal at Anfield and remain at the club.

However, that plan suddenly changed this week. Sport Witness covered a report in France Explaining that talks with Ibrahima Konate and his team had broken down due to ‘internal disagreements’ at Liverpool.

This has since been supported by reports in England. It has become clear from those reports that there is a huge gap between what Liverpool are willing to pay and what Konate is currently asking for.

And it seems that this decision will be final. According to L’Equipe, he has told the Liverpool team that ‘there will be no change of heart’ this summer. The decision to depart has not been influenced by the dismissal of Arne Slot on Saturday.

Where next for Konate?

It remains to be seen where Ibrahima Konate’s next stop will be. Reports have long linked him with a move to Real Madrid, but links have cooled in recent months due to turmoil at the Spanish club.

A report this week emphasizes that Chelsea intend to make an attempt for him this summer. They are planning a major build-up under Xabi Alonso, and the centre-back is reportedly one of their potential targets.

Konate is not expected to have a decision on his future before the World Cup. This means his name is likely to feature prominently in the summer transfer window.

Anthony Gordon is expected to fly to Barcelona today before completing his transfer Newcastle United.

game Report that various parties are ‘reviewing the contract’ even before the signing for the Catalan giants.

Barcelona is closing down

The Spanish newspaper has today provided video footage of lawyer Angel Juarez and the head of the legal department of Anthony Gordon’s agency Unique Sports in Barcelona.

According to their information, they are already under contract review over his proposed €70m transfer from Newcastle United.

He further added that the 25-year-old is embarking on a plan this morning and is expected to land in Barcelona around noon. The move has progressed rapidly for them in the last 48 hours.

Sport Witness covered a report yesterday Explaining that Barcelona were confident of completing the €70m deal with Newcastle quickly. Then this was proved. Various reports in England insisted that the move was happening rapidly.

Barcelona’s confidence

Sport Witness covered a report this morning Explaining how Barcelona president Joan Laporta was discussing the deal over dinner on Wednesday. That report stated that Gordon wanted the deal to be finalized before the World Cup started.

Now he seems to be getting his wish fulfilled. With lawyers present on site in Barcelona and working on reviewing the documents, it appears that everyone involved is keen to finalize the transfer as quickly as possible.

The next step for Anthony Gordon will be to arrive at Barcelona, ​​undergo a medical and complete his move to Camp Nou. At present there does not appear to be any obstacle in its path.

Newcastle can then begin to focus on potential replacements. Given Gordon’s importance this season, this will be no easy task by any means. But with a spend of €70 million, their options won’t be limited either.

– Sport Diary (@Sport) 28 May 2026

chelsea’s The long-planned move for Giovani Quenda is now closer to becoming reality, and Sporting is already feeling the emotional side of it.

After spending the season amidst the title race, overcoming injuries and constantly focusing on his future, the 19-year-old is now officially saying goodbye to the club where it all started.

And watching his farewell interview with Sporting TV, broadcast by the Portuguese outlet to ballThis has hurt him more deeply than expected.

“it’s not goodbye”

Quenda will arrive at Chelsea this summer after the Blues agreed a deal worth around £43.5m (€50m+) for the winger last year.

The plan always included staying in Lisbon for another season before moving to Stamford Bridge. Since then, that final campaign has included almost everything imaginable.

He suffered a long-term injury after fracturing his foot, with rehabilitation work in London under the care of Chelsea. Then their return and their final home match in Lisbon was filled with emotional messages.

Now comes the real farewell. Speaking in a recent interview, Kwenda admitted that he was seriously struggling with the idea of ​​leaving Sporting.

“I had nights when I couldn’t sleep because it was so difficult for me to say goodbye to a club that helped me and my family so much. It’s a very special club to me,” He said.

“The club will always be in my heart. There’s no way I can thank Sporting for how they treated my parents and my family.”

At several moments, the winger reportedly had to pause to wipe away tears.

Chelsea are getting a player who is deeply connected to Sporting

Giovanni Quenda joined Sporting in his childhood and worked his way up through the years to reach the first team.

He eventually achieved that dream under Rubén Amorim, continuing to gain confidence from Rui Borges despite difficult moments following the latter’s injury return.

The winger made 20 Liga Portugal appearances this season, scoring twice and providing five assists in over 1,000 league minutes.

Kwenda repeatedly returned to the emotional connection with Sporting rather than focusing on statistics or the move to Chelsea.

“I’m more mature now, with a bit more experience, although there’s still a lot to live up to for me in football,” he explained.

“But Sporting helped me a lot. I will always keep Sporting in my heart. This is not goodbye, see you soon. I hope one day I can wear a Sporting shirt again.”

One last memory before Stamford Bridge

Kwenda also spoke warmly of many people around the club. He thanked Rui Borges for having faith in him, especially during difficult times after his injury.

“He always talked to me, even when I was not at my best. He always helped me, gave me minutes and played with me.”

There was room for light memories too. Quenda laughed, recalling coach Ricardo Esgio’s approach in training.

“Esgio would kick me a lot during training and then say it was so I could learn, because football was not easy.”

Now, Chelsea are preparing to welcome one of Portugal’s biggest talents. But he is also inheriting a player who clearly never thought that leaving Sporting would affect him so much.

Valencia keen to sign Aston VillaAndres Garcia in the summer window.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain After failing to sign in January, the La Liga side have contacted his agent.

Aston Villa rejected him in the winter market, but that hasn’t put Los Chez down, who are still keen.

The Premier League team signed the right-back from Levante UD in January 2025. He has been the backup to Matty Cash at Villa Park and this has limited his minutes.

This season, the Spaniard played 109 minutes in eight matches and made 83 appearances in six Premier League matches. The Mestalla club is ready to give him an escape route.

Valencia wants Aston Villa player

super sport Report on why the Spanish club wants Andres Garcia and what efforts have been made so far to secure his services.

Renzo Saravia, Thierry Correia and Dimitri Foulquier are the three right-backs at Valencia.

Saravia and Correira’s contracts expire in June and Los Angeles will not extend the latter’s deal. Folquier has until 2027, but can leave if he receives a solid offer this summer.

Therefore, Carlos Corberán’s side are prioritizing strengthening the right-back position. The Aston Villa player is a main target for manager and Valencia CEO Ron Gourley.

Tribuna Deportiva recently said that negotiations between the clubs have progressed. Superdeporte report that talks between Unai Emery’s side and Valencia over the 23-year-old have intensified in ‘recent days’.

There is no certainty over the outcome of negotiations with the Europa League winners and, therefore, Valencia are handling other targets.

Meanwhile, Real Betis are showing interest in a player who welcomes a return to La Liga in the upcoming window.

Aston Villa’s situation is unlikely to improve

Andrés García played 615 minutes in 18 matches for the Premier League team.

Barring a surprise twist, he is unlikely to enjoy regular games under Unai Emery next season.

He could be pressing for a move in the summer, and Aston Villa will have to make a decision on his future. transfer market The fullback is valued at €7m.

wolverhampton wanderers‘ Jackson Tchoua is attracting interest from Italy for the summer.

The right-back joined Wolves in August 2025, after spending two years at Hellas Verona.

Operating primarily as a right wing-back, he played 2,185 minutes in 36 matches for Wolves.

Last December, Sports Witness broadcast news Juventus and Inter Milan are eyeing him for the winter market. The English club considered sanctioning a move in January, but interested parties did not make concrete progress.

The Premier League side fell out of the top spot after finishing bottom of the table this season.

After his exile, we Covered claims from Italy That the 24-year-old could return to Serie A in the summer. It is believed that Wolves, who requested €10 million in January, will accept a lower fee.

Torino lead race for Wolves man

Africa Foot On that note, several Italian clubs are showing keen interest in Jackson Tchoua. The report also talks about the English club’s stance on him.

Torino have received a mention and are now the front-runners to sign the Belgian-born Cameroon international.

The Serie A side have kept a close eye on the Wolves player for a long time and know both his profile and the squad well. If the fullback and Rob Edwards’ team give the go-ahead, they could bring him back to Italy.

Wolves need to reshape their squad in the upcoming window and therefore, they ‘would not oppose’ his exit if there is a concrete offer.

As things stand, Italy looks to be his next destination, with the Turin club keen. To ‘overcome the financial hurdle’, Torino plan to sign Tchatchoua on loan with an option to buy.

This allows them to sign off on their long-term goals without impacting the budget. This move also helps the player to revive his career, retain his place in the national team.

Contract, price and agent information

Jackson Tchochoua has a contract until 2030 at Molineux and is now worth €12m transfer market.

The agency deal with my agent, headed by representative William Davila, is handling The Wolves Man.

wolverhampton wanderers Signed Fer López from Celta Vigo for around €23m in June 2025.

The attacking midfielder managed an assist in 364 minutes across 12 games for struggling Wolves.

Therefore, the English club allowed him to return to the La Liga team on a dry loan deal in the winter market.

This allowed the 22-year-old to enjoy regular minutes that were not available at Molineux. He played 1,432 minutes in 23 matches and scored two goals and one assist for Celta Vigo.

Last month, Spain U21 international gave a hint That he wants to extend his stay.

Earlier this month, Celta Vigo manager Claudio Giraldez said he was confident of finding a new deal for him this summer.

He said: : “Yes, I believe so. The first thing is that the club wants him. The second thing is that the player wants to stay here. Also, I think everyone who cares about him has seen that he has developed a lot during his stay here.”

Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain The La Liga side are optimistic of securing a new deal following Wolves’ expulsion from the Premier League.

Celta’s interest in the Wolves man is not surprising

The Voice of GaliciaAccording to a local newspaper of the club, Celta Vigo is planning to carry out some operations first. This includes retaining Fer López, whose loan deal expires on June 30.

The Spanish club did not agree to a buyout clause in January and had to agree new terms with Wolves in the summer.

The Wolves man’s loan spell has revealed Celta Vigo is his ‘natural habitat for success’, it has been claimed.

Both club and player want to extend his stay, and the newspaper talks about ‘negotiations over Fer López continuity’. However, the deal will not be straightforward as the ‘deciding factors’ will be the money and interest shown by other clubs.

Growing interest could be in Wolves’ favor

Wolves could take advantage if other clubs move to sign Fer López. If these clubs offer better terms than those offered by Celta Vigo, the matter will become more complicated.

It will then be up to Wolves and any interested party to convince him to opt for the Spanish club.

If that happens, Rob Edwards’ side could accept the offer that best suits them.

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.

Feyenoord are ‘licking their fingers’ at the possibility of Crescencio Somerville leaving west ham united A potential move worth €40 million this summer.

Football news covering today’s situation And explain how Somerville’s departure from West Ham could benefit Feyenoord once again this summer.

exit west ham

This has become clear from the report in Italy Crescencio Somerville is currently attracting considerable interest from Roma. They are reportedly ready to spend big on the 24-year-old winger this summer.

West Ham also appear to be keen to make a deal of their own. They will negotiate if they receive a fee of around €40m. They will certainly look for a deal if they eventually get relegated from the Premier League.

The transfer would mean good news for Feyenoord. When Somerville joined Leeds United in 2020, he acquired a sell-on clause.

It paid off when the forward joined West Ham for €30m. Together with solidarity contributions and training compensation fees, he received approximately €4.5m from that deal.

Another great unexpected benefit can be found this summer also. If Somerville is sold for €40 million, the Dutch side will receive approximately €800,000 due to the solidarity scheme.

€40m transfer

So, they are ‘licking their fingers’, or their lips, whatever phrase you prefer, at the prospect of Crescencio Somerville leaving West Ham this summer.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether he does so and at what cost. With the World Cup around the corner, he could raise his asking price if the Netherlands give him the chance.

On the other hand, being relegated from the Premier League could have the opposite effect. West Ham will likely need to sell to balance the books, and Somerville will be one of the players targeted.

Either way, Feyenoord will have to make another payment if he leaves the London Stadium. They will keep a close eye to see what happens, and there is potential for more profits.

chelsea Star Mark Cucurella is keen to leave the Premier League team in the summer.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered a front page report from Spain Barcelona’s interest in their former player.

The same source said he wants out following turmoil at Chelsea following the departure of Enzo Maresca in January. Atletico Madrid are also in the race to sign the 27-year-old.

On Thursday, we broadcast news Los Rojiblancos have identified the left-back as a top defensive target.

They failed to sign him before he transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion in 2021 and turned down the opportunity to sign him on loan a year later.

Interest in Chelsea player increased

Friday edition of sports world Also report that Atletico Madrid are keen to sign Mark Cucurella and have made him their main target.

Chelsea invest £56m [€65m] Plus bonuses to sign the fullback from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022.

After overcoming early difficulties, he became a regular at Stamford Bridge and also for the national team.

The Blues are likely to request around €50 million, but the Madrid club are not giving up. There are a number of factors why the Spain international is an ‘absolute priority’ for Diego Simeone’s side.

The first reason is that Atlético has the finances to execute this deal. Secondly, the former Barcelona man wants to return to Spain in the summer.

These ‘two important factors’ could convince the La Liga side to seriously make a move.

Cucurella likes Madrid’s approach, but it will not be easy for him to change club. Chelsea have appointed Xabi Alonso as their new permanent manager for next season.

Mundo says the incoming Blues boss wants to have confidence in his compatriot. While price and competition may be concerns, Alonso is Atletico’s ‘biggest obstacle’.

Chelsea has already taken action

Although Xabi Alonso wants to retain Mark Cucurella, the Blues have already worked out a possible replacement.

On March 22, Game Witness specifically disclosed Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with moves for Maxi Araujo. He is likely to leave Sporting in the summer for around €45-50 million.

If the Spaniard were to leave, Araújo could be an option to replace him.

Manchester United Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has spoken to Turkish media about his future plans.

Bayandir has recently been linked with a return to the Super Lig We covered reports He has agreed to join Besiktas. At the time it was said that the Premier League club would accept €5m.

The former Fenerbahçe player lost his place in the starting eleven of the Old Trafford team at the beginning of this season. He was given a chance ahead of Andre Onana but could not impress.

The arrival of Sane Lammens during the previous summer made him second choice again. His role has not changed since the arrival of Michael Carrick.

Manchester United man questioned about future

talking to sabaThe Manchester United No. 2 was asked if he would need to make a decision to leave Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old said it is normal for a player to be involved all the time and he wants more game time.

“I am a person who loves to play. I don’t know what experiences I will have in the future. It is very important for a football player to take the right steps in his career. I would like to be on the field as much as possible. If there is a decision to be taken, we will take it. Whatever needs to be done, we will do. Time will show us everything.” Turkey International said.

Despite his disappointments, Bayandir said it was a privilege to represent Manchester United. Unveiling the Turkish flag on the roof of Old Trafford, he said it made him and his father very proud.

“It’s a matter of pride that the Turkish flag is flying over Old Trafford. One of the biggest cities in England, and I’m the reason for it. In fact, a video was shot at that time. Then my father was very impressed, he liked it very much, he was proud. I can’t explain it in words. Old Trafford is a historic stadium,” Bayindir said.

Bayındır has decided to make

The player has a decision to make this summer as it seems unlikely he will remove Lammens from Carrick’s starting eleven.

A return to Istanbul appears to be his best option, with Besiktas expected to make his move in the coming weeks.

Sunderland Marseille have emerged as contenders to sign Geoffrey Kondogbia.

The defensive midfielder’s position at the League 1 side has encouraged Sunderland to make an approach in the summer.

He joined Marseille from Atletico Madrid in June 2023 for around €8m. Prior to this, some Premier League sides had looked at the 33-year-old.

At that time, the game witnessed Covered claims from Spain Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ interestAnd he was reportedly interested in going to England.

Sunderland interested in Kondogbia

The experienced midfielder played 1,016 minutes in 17 matches, 593 of which were in the league this season. Due to his limited role and mixed performances, he is one of the Marseille players most likely to leave.

The former Inter Milan and Valencia player’s future at the club is also uncertain due to his high salary. Therefore, the French club wants to get rid of him and he ‘will clearly be heading towards the exit door’ in the summer.

Media Foot say the player could potentially move to England where Regis Le Bris’s side are keen.

Sunderland could take advantage of his situation at Marseille to bring him to the Stadium of Light for a reasonable price.

Our opinion: Sunderland hope to repeat Xhaka’s success

Last summer, Sunderland signed 33-year-old Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen, and he has performed brilliantly this season. Le Bris and his side will be hoping for a similar impact from Geoffrey Kondogbia if they secure his services.

The Marseille player’s contract expires in 2027 and his value, accordingly transfer marketNow worth €4m.

Agency Sport Cover, managed by agent Misa N’Diaye, represents the midfielder.

Tottenham HotspurAlejo Veliz will leave the Premier League club permanently and move to Esporte Club Bahia in the summer.

The Argentine arrived at Tottenham from Rosario Central in August 2023 and has struggled for regular minutes in England.

The north London club sent him on loan to Sevilla in January 2024 and to Espanyol later that year.

He failed to impress regularly at these two clubs and the following summer, Spurs allowed him to return to Rosario Central on a season-long loan deal.

In the winter market, Bahia wanted to sign the 22-year-old player permanently and the English club were in favor of a sale. Tottenham also agreed to the Brazilian club’s bid, but Rosario Central refused to cut short his loan stay.

On his second spell at Rosario Central, Veliz explained: “After Marco left, I had a huge responsibility to wear the nickname he gave me and the number nine, which was a heavy burden.”

“I always tried to contribute to the group. To give everything for the team, for this jersey, to put everything aside for this jersey. The day I return, I will continue to do that.”

Spurs will soon part ways with the player

of manchester united Marcus Rashford has already agreed personal terms with Barcelona ahead of a permanent move this summer.

game The report adds that Barcelona have reached an agreement over the forward’s wages, but are now seeking ore favorable terms with Manchester United.

Barcelona is working on a deal

The newspaper reports that Barcelona are pushing hard to keep Marcus Rashford when his loan deal with Manchester United expires at the end of the season.

It came after Barcelona manager Hansi Flick requested that the 28-year-old be kept as part of the project. The Catalan club had practically rejected a deal due to his price, but alternative options have not convinced Flick.

Rashford has played his part, making it clear he is willing to make it easier to fit his ‘multimillion-euro’ salary within Barcelona’s wage range.

A long contract will be agreed, and the Englishman is willing to share the payment and give up part of his salary. Now Barcelona want to avoid paying the €30m buyout clause they agreed with Manchester United last summer.

Manchester United has a strong grip

Manchester United, for their part, have been very firm in early talks. They are refusing to accept a lower transfer fee or an extension of the loan deal.

He has also argued that the current €30m price tag is below the value of Marcus Rashford. They have already agreed to a flexible payment plan to be paid over three years. Barcelona want a price cut, but it is unlikely United will accept it.

However, their main problem is Rashford. He is blocking any talks, does not want to return to Old Trafford Will not accept any other proposal.

This has left Manchester United in a ‘real crisis’. Sport argue that both clubs are certain to reach an agreement, but they need to find a deal that satisfies both parties.

Barcelona would like another loan with a new, less mandatory purchase option. At that time Rashford would have only one year left on his contract with Manchester United. But they also want to save on Rashford’s wages for a second season.

In other words, they want their cake, then they want to eat it too. After that they want another cake and then they want to eat that too.

Manchester City Pair Bernardo Silva and Omar Marmoush have both been reported about a possible transfer to Galatasaray this summer.

Saba reports on the Manchester City pair today. The newspaper reports that while the Turkish side is raising its voice against Silva, Marmoush has also ‘received information’.

manchester city duo on the phone

They reveal the pair were on the phone with former Manchester City midfielder Elke Gundogan, who recently spoke out about the matter.

“Some of my former teammates have called me and asked questions about the club and the league, but I don’t want to reveal names.” He admitted recently.

Sabah have now reported that those two players are Omar Marmoush and Bernardo Silva. When it comes to the former, the report claims that he picked up the phone to contact Gundogan directly and get information about Galatasaray.

The 27-year-old is likely to be targeted if the Turkish side decide not to retain Mauro Icardi this summer. That decision is yet to be taken.

Bernardo Silva in demand

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva is a long-term target. He is set to become a free agent when his contract at the Etihad expires this summer. But there is competition across Europe, with Juventus particularly keen on him.

The 31-year-old player wants to continue his career with the team present in the Champions League. Galatasaray can certainly offer that.

It has not been made clear what Marmoush wants from his next team. But it seems he is looking around and assessing his options ahead of the summer.

The Egyptian has barely made an impact at the Etihad since arriving last year after thriving in Germany and has played as a back-up behind Erling Haaland. He is now also behind several other options, such as Ryan Cherky and Antoine Semenyo.

However, he will definitely want to see what the plans are at Manchester City after Pep Guardiola. This could change his thinking significantly, even if he has talked to Gundogan about life in Turkey.

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

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

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

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

The agent is trying to find a solution

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

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

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

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

ranger people Manager Danny Rohl speaking to German media. This is something he is used to talking about with people in his home Frequently When Sheffield Wednesday were in charge.

At the end of his time with the Yorkshire club, Röhl often used the German media to advertise himself among Bundesliga clubs. This obviously didn’t go down universally well at Sheffield Wednesday, but now he’s in charge at Rangers so it’s a different approach.

As part of a long interview with a German newspaper image, Röhl was asked about interest from VfL Wolfsburg and other clubs.

The Rangers manager replied: “There are probably a lot of rumors circulating. It was the same last summer. If you go by speculation, I would already have 15 coaching positions. My focus is here in Glasgow. I like the job because I can compete for titles here and also at international level. And it’s a very good opportunity that I really enjoy.”

The family lives in Germany, but Danny Rohl is happy

one of the reasons Danny Rohl was so eager to return to Germany last summer that his family settled there permanently. When he took the Rangers job it meant he would have to see less of those closest to him.

At the moment it doesn’t seem to be that big of an issue, and the manager is enjoying his time at Rangers and Glasgow. He even promoted the city as a better alternative to Edinburgh.

“My wife and children lived in Germany and came to visit me often. I have an apartment in the West End. Glasgow is really nice, I love it. There are lots of restaurants, the city is very new. I would compare Edinburgh and Glasgow to Dresden and Leipzig. One city is a little more sophisticated and extremely cultural, the other is fabulous and lively.”

Rangers contract and exit clause question

Danny Rohl’s Rangers contract runs until 2028.

Bild asked directly if he had an exit clause at Ibrox applicable to Bundesliga clubs.

To that he replied: “No, I don’t have them.”

While the manager now wants to move on and win trophies with Rangers, there will always be a suspicion that Germany remains a temptation. If that return follows a successful 2026/27 season then things could work out for everyone.

As became clear last summer, Rohl needs to do more to attract a good Bundesliga club, and Rangers could benefit from that kind of motivation.

The Max Verstappen will-not-be saga got fresh fuel this week, and this time it’s coming from someone who has been inside the paddock long enough to read between the lines.

The four-time world champion has Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes on his shortlist if he triggers a performance-based exit clause buried in his Red Bull contract, former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner told Casino.org. With Red Bull fourth in the constructors’ standings and Verstappen having scored all but four of the team’s 30 points, the conversation is no longer theoretical.

“In my opinion, Max can only go to 3 teams: Ferrari, McLaren, or Mercedes,” said Steiner. “But is there anything available at the moment? Probably not, but will they make something available for Max Verstappen? That’s the big question.”

Max Verstappen Where there is smoke, there is fire

That’s why it’s not just empty frog chatter. Verstappen is technically contracted to Red Bull until 2028, but the deal reportedly includes a performance-based exit clause. Most relevant: If Max is not in the top two in the drivers’ list during the summer break, the door opens for an early departure at the end of the season.

Right now, that door is wide open. Red Bull are fourth in the Constructors’ Championship with just 30 points after four rounds. Verstappen himself is seventh in the drivers’ standings, and has scored all but four of the team’s points. The car is a problem. The trajectory is worse.

Steiner pointed to recent history as a template for how this might change. Ferrari sidelined Carlos Sainz to make room for Lewis Hamilton. Top teams free up seats for generational talent. They just do.

“Just look back at when Ferrari let Carlos go, who was doing a good job, because the goat came Lewis Hamilton,” said Steiner. “So, I think there needs to be something like that, but that’s what Max will be looking for.”

Each team in the shortlist has its own complexities. Mercedes have been linked to Verstappen for years through their relationship with Toto Wolff, although that discussion has cooled recently, partly because Kimi Antonelli currently leads the championship and George Russell is going nowhere. Ferrari already have Hamilton and Charles Leclerc under contract. McLaren has defending champion Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the two drivers that most American fans will name first if you ask them who is actually winning races at the moment.

But in the case of McLaren there is a dilemma worth noting. GP Lambias, Verstappen’s long-time race engineer and the calmest voice he has ever heard in his ear, is leaving as chief racing officer at Woking until 2028. It’s no coincidence that anyone in the paddock thinks it’s a coincidence.

“He’ll look at these three teams and talk to them,” Steiner said, “but I don’t think there’s any team that is focused on him.”

Translation: Max is shopping. The only question left is whether anyone is actually ready to buy. With the summer holidays still a few months away, expect the noise over Verstappen’s future to grow before it subsides. Red Bull’s recovery deadline is the real deadline, and right now, they are way off track.

southampton Manager Tonanda Eckert is on Borussia Mönchengladbach’s list of potential candidates if they move for a new manager this summer.

rhenish post Report on the situation at German clubs today. According to his information, a potentially long list of options is being considered before the summer.

borussia monchengladbach decision

The big question at the moment is whether Borussia Monchengladbach will stick with Eugen Polanski or not. That situation is currently being assessed by those in charge of the club.

An internal solution is unlikely to follow Polanski, dismissing U23 coach Oliver Kirch. A more logical approach would be to look at the Bundesliga, where there are many coaches available. But there are doubts whether any of the more attractive names can be lured.

Therefore, Mönchengladbach can turn to candidates who have ‘enjoyed surprising success abroad.’ Southampton’s Tonda Eckert would fall into that category.

southampton success

He started as an analyst for the German Football Association (DFB) at the age of 18, working at Cologne, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Genoa and has now led Southampton to the Premier League promotion playoffs. He will be seen as a potentially exciting, young and talented boss of the future.

Of course, getting him back to Germany could be a difficult task. This will be especially the case if Akert takes Southampton back to the Premier League.

Mönchengladbach may have to wait to see what happens in the play-off final before attempting any moves.

But Eckert is a name on their list, albeit a very extensive one. His work and current success at Southampton has not gone unnoticed in his homeland.

And if Mönchengladbach decide to part ways with Polanski this summer, they could turn to Polanski. This decision has not been made yet, but it will be made in the coming weeks. At that point, they may turn their attention to the Southampton manager.

Tottenham Hotspur Star Pedro Porro has admitted that he is expecting two pieces of good news at the end of this season; Spurs’ survival and a call-up to the Spain squad for the World Cup.

The 26-year-old comments today in the Cadena SER report After an appearance on the radio show El Larguero.

Tottenham’s survival is prioritized

The defender is currently focused on staying in the Premier League. He also had to look over his shoulders as Tottenham fell to a 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Monday evening.

17 runs for Roberto De Zerbi^th At this time in the table. They are two points ahead of West Ham in the 18th^th Place. A win over Leeds on Monday would have taken them four points clear of the Hammers, and potentially put their fate in their own hands.

Instead, they face the prospect of slipping back into the relegation zone before playing next to West Ham.

Presumably, the battle for survival will last until the final day of the season. And Pedro Porro is all too aware of this fact.

“On the one hand, we want the season to be over, but on the other hand, we have to work until the end. There is no other option.” He said.

“We have to finish in the best possible way. It is true that right now we are two points above them and they play before us. Anything can happen now. We have to consider everything. This is the reality and everything matters.”

world cup postponed

The Tottenham defender is determined to ensure no one thinks he is not focused on the relegation battle.

The full-back is likely to be included in Luis de la Fuente’s extended Spanish call-up ahead of the World Cup this summer. This will be a huge bonus at the end of a very difficult season.

And while he admits that would be good news, his focus is only on what comes week by week, along with keeping Tottenham up.

“Hopefully, these will be two pieces of good news,” He added.

When asked about his future, the defender made it clear that it is open.

“I already have a lot on my plate without even thinking about it now,” Poro said. “The future is next week.”

In March, Poro talked about a Transfer to Real Madrid is his dream. However, the media around Los Blancos didn’t really pursue that idea after it was hinted at.

Turkish media claim Galatasaray have stepped up their search liverpool Defender Virgil van Dijk.

The Netherlands international has been linked with a move to the Super Lig leaders in recent weeks. sports witness Reports covered last month that they were ready to match his Liverpool salary.

Simbom was waiting for the ‘green light’ for the Dutchman to make his move. Now it seems that an approach has been made.

Liverpool transfer talks begin

Arda Ozkurt has relayed to Heber SarıkirmizI think Galatasaray have started efforts to sign Van Dijk.

Turkish journalist says Liverpool captain would be interested in moving to Istanbul. In March, it was said that Van Dijk had been impressed by the atmosphere at Rams Park after two visits to Liverpool this season.

Talks are expected to continue before the summer. Gala are also hopeful that they will be able to sign the 34-year-old on a free transfer.

“Galatasaray have begun efforts to add Virgil van Dijk to their squad. Van Dijk is also interested in wearing the Galatasaray jersey. If an agreement is reached, Van Dijk has informed Galatasaray that he can leave Liverpool for no fee. Negotiations are ongoing.” The Turkish reporter said.

Last month it was reported that Galatasaray were ready to match his current Liverpool salary. With lower income taxes for foreign players in the Super Lig, it is hoped that this can be achieved.

Gala is already looking ahead to next season, with his manager Okan Buruk keen to strengthen his defence. Van Dijk will be seen as a possible replacement for Davinson Sanchez or Abdulkarim Bardaski.

liverpool has to take a decision

With just over 12 months left on his current deal, Liverpool may have to make a decision with the player this summer. However. It is unlikely they will allow the central defender to leave for free.

If the defender tries to put pressure on him, his huge salary could be a consideration.

Van Dijk has made 53 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring six goals.

of west ham united The Premier League situation is starting to create transfer noise around Taty Castellanos again – and Flamengo are right in the middle of it.

The Hammers are now dangerously close to relegation after defeat by Arsenal and need a miracle to survive. With just two matches remaining, West Ham will need maximum points and help elsewhere to avoid the drop.

That context inevitably brings flamengo back in the picture.

Flamengo’s interest refuses to disappear

As previously covered by Sport WitnessFlamengo have long admired Castellanos.

The Brazilian side had already explored the possibility of signing the striker before his transfer from Lazio to West Ham United. At the time, the Argentine preferred to pursue his Premier League dream instead.

Now, Brazilian reports once again suggest that Flamengo are monitoring the situation closely while searching for attacking troops.

report in brazil There are claims that if the contract is confirmed West Ham players will face a 50% pay cut due to the terms contained in the contract.

Castellanos’ wages are said to be around £75,000 a week, making him one of the club’s better-paid players, even if he is not among the highest earners.

The important thing is that it is completely built around allegations and counter-allegations. The latest claims have linked any potential move directly to West Ham joining the Championship.

there is also one Recent relations between clubs Which can help in negotiations as the situation evolves. Flamengo have already held talks with West Ham for Lucas Paqueta and the Hammers have also been linked Gonzalo Plata in recent months.

The profile is still seen as ideal

Brazilian coverage continued to describe Castellanos as the perfect stylistic fit for Flamengo’s attack.

His sheer intensity, movement between defenders and aggressive off-ball work have all been highlighted as internationally admired qualities. The report also points to his experience in competitive leagues, having played in MLS, La Liga, Serie A and now the Premier League.

That versatility remains attractive, even if his magic has yet to come alive at West Ham.

what happens next

At the moment, there is no sign of active negotiations between Flamengo and Castellanos’ camp.

West Ham’s immediate priority is survival. However, as promotion approaches, greater outside interest around the players becomes inevitable.

Flamengo are clearly positioning themselves cautiously. He has admired Castellanos for years, he knows that market conditions can change rapidly, and he already has communication channels with West Ham.

Whether this translates into a formal effort will depend on the next few weeks in England.

Just four months after starting his tenure, Fabio Paratici has been put forward as an ideal name for Napoli Tottenham Hotspur to an end.

football napoli 24 Report on comments by journalist Massimiliano Gallo in Il Neapolitana regarding the former Tottenham director of football.

napoli change = tottenham reunion

Napoli could be facing a summer change rush as Roma are showing serious interest in their current sporting director Giovanni Manna. While there’s no sign yet that he’s ready to jump ship, questions are being asked about who will replace him.

For Gallo, the answer is simple. Go and get Fabio Paratici, the man he thinks is the best on the market.

“We know that De Laurentiis is very close to Manna; he considers her his discovery,” he said.

“He always talks highly about them. At least from the president’s perspective, there’s no reason for any separation.”

“If he is to accept Roma’s advances, De Laurentiis must waste no time and bring in the best player on the market.”

antonio conte relationship

In fact, he believes there is a precise reason other than the transfer market. Hiring Paratici would provide comfort and security to manager Antonio Conte.

“Paratici has a deep knowledge of football,” he said.

“He would be the ideal man for Napoli. He would be the sporting director that Napoli has never had.”

“Paratici is someone who knows a thing or two; he is not just a sporting director for delicious restaurants; he knows how to buy and sell at any price. And he will also be a point of reference for Antonio Conte at the club. The manager will feel safe.”

mutual respect

It would certainly be an interesting move for the former Tottenham director, who returned to Italy in January to lead Fiorentina.

It was billed as a long-term project, but with security almost secure, would he be tempted to try his hand at another big project?

A reunion with Conte certainly makes sense. The pair worked together again at Tottenham between 2011 and 2014. Conte also admitted in 2021 that there is ‘great mutual respect’ between the pair. He even said, “We speak the same language and I’m not just talking about Italian.”

It suggests that, five years on, he would be willing to work with the former Tottenham director again if the chance arose. It remains to be seen whether Napoli listens to Gallo’s suggestion.

Sebastian Kiehl is now available tottenham After reaching a settlement agreement with Borussia Dortmund.

BILD reports that the sports director Borussia has officially reached a settlement agreement to end his time with Dortmund.

Kiehl is now a free agent

According to newspaper news, Sebastian Kehl has reached an agreement with Dortmund to officially terminate his contract. This will end the 24-year-old association with the German club.

Dortmund will offer Kehl a severance package totaling around €1.5m. He will officially bid farewell to the club in the home match against Eintracht Frankfurt this week.

The German club severed ties with the sporting director in March. The club said his exit was due to ‘irreconcilable’ differences with Lars Ricken and Carsten Kramer. But they have been locked in talks since his official separation from the club.

Due to this the future of the director was in doubt. He is already being eyed by clubs in Europe but his current contract with Dortmund may have made things difficult.

tottenham interest

Tottenham is one of those who are interested. BILD reports that while Sebastian Kiehl is testing the market, there are already three interested parties. They are Tottenham, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.

Reports have now, officially, made Spurs’ interest in the former Dortmund sporting director clear for months.

Sport Witness covered a report in April That state Kahl had held intensive talks with Tottenham about taking charge this summer.

After this it was stated in another report that Kiehl was considering his options During a short holiday before taking your next step.

Now the way is clear, he has to take a decision. Will he accept Tottenham’s offer of a move to England, or wait to see what other clubs may come calling in the summer?

Aston Villa Enzo is watching a very unusual transfer series develop around Barrenchia. This is because the midfielder has barely become a permanent player at Benfica and he is already interested in another move.

last month, Portuguese reports interpreted Benfica would be willing to sell Barrenchea this summer. This would be despite previously being obliged to buy him from Aston Villa.

The logic was logical. Jose Mourinho reportedly believes the Argentine’s profile does not fully match what he wants in midfield in the long term. The Benfica manager is preferring players close to Frederic Orsnes in style.

Now the first solid lover has appeared. according to to ballValencia is closely monitoring the situation in Barrenchia. They are interested in bringing him back to Spain.

Aston Villa previously loaned him there

Barrenechea spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Valencia CF, while still contracted to Aston Villa. He enjoyed an impressive campaign there.

In fact, his performances in Spain were a major reason for Benfica to sign him in the first place. Valencia wanted to keep the midfielder permanently last year, but Benfica outbid them financially.

The Portuguese side agreed to pay €3m (£2.6m) for an initial loan. They agreed to pay a further €12m (£10.3m) Attendance requirements met. Those conditions have now officially begun.

Barrenchia has made 26 league appearances this season and logged almost 2,000 Liga Portugal minutes, meaning Aston Villa will have to pay the full €15m (£12.9m) package.

Technically, the midfielder is now simply transitioning from being an Aston Villa player to a permanent Benfica signee. Yet before that permanent chapter can even properly begin, another exit is already being discussed – and to the same club Villa previously loaned him to.

Benfica need cash – Valencia need loan

According to A Bola, Valencia are very aware of Barrencha’s current situation under Mourinho. However, the Spanish club are unwilling to match the €15m (£12.9m) that Benfica are investing in him.

Instead, Valencia would prefer another loan, this time with an option to buy. This can become a sticking point.

Benfica reportedly want an immediate cash sale this summer as Mourinho and the club hierarchy prepare to make significant changes to the squad.

It is still unclear whether Aston Villa have any sell-on percentage in the Benfica deal, although if Barreca moves again in the future they will probably take at least some small change through FIFA solidarity payments.

What happens next, however, is turning into one of the strangest transfer situations of the summer market.

brighton and hove albion Interest in Alvaro Montoro is now underway with an apparent change in Botafogo’s stance, with the Brazilian club actively planning a sale of the teenager after the World Cup.

The Premier League side are already keeping a close eye on the Argentine. As covered earlierBrighton scouts watched him live in Brazil, and his profile fits their recruitment model.

Montoro is a left-sided attacker who moves centrally, combining well in tight spaces and contributing with finishing actions as well as in the build-up phases.

Even at the age of 19, he has had a vital role at Botafogo. He has already worn the number 10 shirt and plays regularly in senior football. He recorded 3 assists in 11 league games this season and is one of Botafogo’s main creative outlets.

That early responsibility is what makes him attractive to clubs like Brighton.

Botafogo is now planning

Alvaro Montoro is no longer considered untouchable.

according to globo esporteBotafogo is now anticipating a sale of the player after the World Cup. The club’s financial situation has been described as difficult, and there is growing acceptance internally that sales of players will be necessary in the next transfer window.

Botafogo have reportedly set a price tag of between €25m and €30m (£21.5m – £25.8m) for Montoro. He is seen as one of the main assets to be sold along with the former Nottingham Forest midfielder DaniloAs part of a strategy to generate significant revenue.

In fact, the expectation is that the two players could together bring in up to €70m (£60.2m), which underlines how central Montoro is to those plans.

No formal proposal has come yet. However, the report states that the player’s representatives are already in contact with interested European clubs. Botafogo expects bids to come in when the window opens on July 20.

what happens next

This development changes the landscape for Brighton. Previously, Botafogo had taken a strong stance against selling key players, with owner John Textor publicly rejecting the idea earlier this year.

Now, the situation looks more pragmatic due to financial pressures and the need to balance the books.

That doesn’t mean Montoro will come cheap. A valuation of €25m – €30m (£21.5m – £25.8m) puts him firmly in the premium class for a still-developing teenager. However, it also gives interested clubs clarity as to what will be required.

A highly rated South American prospect, already playing senior football, and a selling club who may need to make a move soon. The next few weeks could be important.

Manchester CityNathan Ake is in his final weeks with the Premier League team.

The Netherlands international was a regular for Manchester City until the end of last season.

However, he has lost prominence at the Etihad this season and to put it into context, the centre-back has made just four Premier League starts.

The former AFC Bournemouth player has played 1,455 minutes in 29 matches for the Citizens.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal in the final to win the EFL Cup in March. Following the Wembley success, the defender hinted that he could leave after this season.

At that time when he was asked about his future after this season. He said: : “I have no idea, but winning the Carabao Cup would definitely be a nice ending.”

Last Friday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Italy That his agent has offered him to Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.

Manchester City is certain to be eliminated

football international Focus on that and let us know that Nathan Ake is getting closer to leaving Manchester City.

Recent claims in the Dutch press have mentioned PSV Eindhoven as an option. However, VI State sources close to the player insist the Eredivisie side ‘will stand no chance’.

That’s because the 31-year-old aims to remain in the top European leagues, and could be on his way to Serie A.

He is attracting ‘solid interest’ from both Juventus and AS Roma. AC Milan is also an option, with the San Siro club trying to sign him in January.

At that time, due to injuries to other players, Pep Guardiola stopped his move. However, the Manchester City manager will not stop his exit after this season.

Juventus and Roma are options and the defenders will have to secure European football for them to be considered. The Old Ladies are fourth in the table, one point ahead of fifth-placed Roma.

Our opinion: Summer exits beneficial for Manchester City

Nathan Ake’s contract expires in 2027 and his value, accordingly transfer marketIs €15m.

His exit would give Manchester City the opportunity to earn a fee and avoid losing him for nothing after a year. The Dutchman could enjoy regular minutes at another club, providing protection for an experienced defender.

In short, relocation can benefit all parties.

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

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

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

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

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

Barcelona approach for Tottenham man

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

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

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

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

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

Sorting out Spurs’ future needs

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

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

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

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

leeds unitedSebastian Bornou did not enjoy good performances in his first season in the Premier League.

The Belgian player moved to Germany when 1. FC Köln signed him from Anderlecht in August 2019. He spent two years with them and moved to VfL Wolfsburg in 2021.

His performances for Wolfsburg convinced Leeds United to spend around €6m in July 2025.

However, the centre-back has not performed well under Daniel Farke and has made only four Premier League starts.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 9
• Start: 4
• Total minutes played: 215
• Minutes per game: 35

The 27-year-old’s last Premier League appearance was in a 2–2 draw against Chelsea on 10 February. Since then, he has made three appearances for the Whites in the FA Cup.

Back in January, FC Köln Vice President Ulf Sobek indicated His side were ready to wait for the defender in the winter market. However, he is still at Elland Road but that could change in the summer.

On March 31, Khel Witness Covered claims from Germany The Bundesliga side could offer him an escape route after this season.

Interest in Leeds United increased

image Now focus 1. FC Köln’s transfer plan for the next window. With the incoming, his main priority is to sign a striker and centre-back, who is experienced and ‘strong-in-the-air’.

Sébastien Bournau appears to suit their needs and is the ‘top candidate’ for the defensive position.

rioter Also report that FC Köln are looking for an experienced centre-back. The Leeds United player is mentioned because he already knows the club from his two-year stint between 2019 and 2021.

However, without mentioning the price, it ‘will not be cheap’ for FC Köln to lure Bornou away from the Whites.

Leeds United may attempt to recoup most of the fee invested to sign him a year ago. Belgian agency Stirer Associates represents the Whites defender.

It appears Ruben Amorim is fishing for his first job Manchester UnitedBy making it clear that he is ready to join Benfica.

CM Esporte Report The former Manchester United manager looks set to return to football with his former club this summer.

Available after Manchester United

Mys Sport report that Ruben Amorim is ‘available’ to coach Benfica if they want him. Coaches are openly acknowledging this possibility, should the job become available.

He will return to his former club but only if there is a ‘free seat’ at the club. He does not want to be a source of instability around Jose Mourinho at this time.

But the 41-year-old wants it to be known that he is available. He has been out of work since leaving Manchester United in January.

Although his aim is to remain abroad with a team with a ‘well-defined project’, Amorim has told his close friends that he will not refuse Benfica next season. But he doesn’t want to be a source of disruption.

He also does not want to be the reason why Benfica does not remain with Mourinho next season. Thus, he will only talk to the Portuguese club if they contact him after the official announcement of Mourinho’s departure.

terms of play

If Ruben Amorim were to return to management, he would want to achieve what he achieved during his six seasons at Sporting. He wants complete control over signings and all professional football.

It worked well in Lisbon as he won six major trophies during his tenure at the club. This helped him end the club’s 19-year league title drought and establish an impressive, record-breaking team.

He was unable to replicate this at Manchester United, but he clearly wants to replicate the set-up if he is to return to Portugal with Benfica. For now, it appears he’s just putting his word out there, making it clear that he’s available.

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.

of liverpool Alisson has been consistently pushed as a target for Serie A clubs by the Italian media. The deal is now proving more difficult than initially thought.

Earlier in March, the goalkeeper signed a new deal at Anfield, tying him down until the end of next season.

Temporarily, this silenced much of the discussion about his future. Soon, this escalated once again as Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti appeared keen to reunite with the Brazilian.

last week, sports witness The cover claims the goalkeeper would indeed be keen to return to his ex-Roma manager. Talks took place and Juve also became optimistic about the signing.

Now, it seems that optimism has been replaced by pessimism and Liverpool could keep Alisson.

Many discussions were held for Alison

Today, tuttosport Let it be clear that doubts are growing in Turin regarding the signing of the 33-year-old player.

Ideally, Spalletti would want Alisson at the club. In fact, he sees him as a dream target, with Mattia Perin and Michele Di Gregorio likely to leave the Old Lady in the summer.

Juve have attempted to meet the manager’s demands by holding talks with Alisson’s squad. They now realize that the deal is more complicated than initially thought.

Alisson earns €8m per season and will demand a significant signing-on fee. This would also include agent fees, with Liverpool themselves demanding €15m to let the Brazilian leave.

The goalkeeper’s team has had several discussions with Juve and now it seems that it will be very difficult for the Turin forward to make a move. Talks were also held with other Serie A clubs but those talks were also met with doubt.

Our opinion: Liverpool would have no objection to this

Alisson may be 33 and has been out of action for the past few weeks, but he still performed well earlier in the campaign.

Giorgi Mamardashvili has also not disappointed anyone but his candidacy as first choice remains unknown. Alisson will only help him grow and his presence will ensure that Georgians are not thrown into the deep end next season.

Furthermore, Liverpool have no need to offer a waiver to let Alisson depart. He has previously been linked to Saudi clubs who would be able to afford his salary and the Reds’ demands. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if Juve didn’t make the move.

Juventus is preparing a fresh attempt Manchester United Forward Joshua Zirkzee is looking to leave England this summer.

CM.it reports that the Manchester United forward It’s once again a solid goal for the Italian giants. The return to Serie A is confirmed.

Why is Juventus moving now?

CM.it reports that Joshua Zirkzee’s situation at Manchester United has now changed. They are prepared to listen to offers for the Dutchman, who is believed to be worth €30m.

Juventus see an opening they cannot afford to miss. This is especially the case as Zirkzee cost Manchester United €42m in 2024. The current price is a big downtrend and may be pushed further lower.

Inside Juventus, there is alignment. Luciano Spalletti has already approved the move, with the club set to make major changes especially in his attacking department. Many of the current options are likely to leave, with only Kenan Yildiz guaranteed to remain.

The striker is looking for a revival

Joshua Zirkzee also considers time as good. He has endured a difficult and disappointing two years in England. Now he is actively seeking to leave Manchester United.

He wants to join a club where he can play regularly, rebuild confidence and rediscover the form that made him one of Serie A’s most exciting attackers when he was at Bologna. Juventus believe they can give him what he wants.

Manchester United are also ready to ‘listen to offers’ for the 24-year-old, it now seems Ideal time to finalize a deal.

However, €30 million may still be too much of the asking price. Having spent big on players like Francisco Conceição, Douglas Luiz and others for little return, Juventus will want to be cautious and avoid a repeat of that.

However, Manchester United hold the cards. Zirkzee’s current deal runs until 2029 and includes the option of a further year. They do not have to sell at a price they do not consider acceptable. But there is an openness to a deal, which means Juventus have an opportunity.

southampton To sign 1 are in the picture. Christian Conteh of FC Heidenheim in the summer.

He joined the Bundesliga team from Eintracht Braunschweig for around €1.5m in January and the move saw him play alongside his brother, Sirlord Conteh, at the German club.

Before moving to the top division, the forward had scored five goals and three assists in 18 matches for Eintracht Braunschweig.

Since moving to Heidenheim, he has so far failed to score or assist, but that hasn’t hurt Southampton.

His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 6
• Start: 4
• Total minutes: 345
• Minutes per game: 58
• Target: 0
• Help: 0
• Expected target: 0.22
• Expected Support: 1.03

Southampton are being closely monitored

1. Christian Conteh’s struggles at FC Heidenheim haven’t stopped him from attracting interest from England.

is according to football transfersWho named Southampton as an interested party.

The Championship side are keeping a close eye on the German ahead of the next window and it is unclear whether Saints have contacted his agent or the club.

FC Heidenheim are now at the bottom of the table [18 teams in the Bundesliga] With 16 points, seven points behind 16th-place FC St. Pauli.

The two clubs face each other in the league this weekend and a defeat for FC Heidenheim would confirm their relegation. Fusball transfers say they are unlikely to survive the drop.

This, coupled with interest from Southampton, could lead to the attacker’s swift exit just months after joining the top division side. This could also allow Tonda Eckert’s side to make a signing on suitable terms in the summer.

Conteh is not the only attacker on Southampton’s list. Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Saints, Leeds United and Watford are set to sign Paris FC’s Ilan Kebble.

Contract, price and agent information

Christian Conteh signed a contract until 2029 and is worth €1.5m transfer market.

German-based agency EMG Mundial is looking after their interests and looking after their future.

On March 31, Rangers Confirmed Rabbi Matondo’s Ibrox exit to join SK Brann on a permanent transfer. The Norwegian club snatched him from Danny Rohl’s team as the window there remained open until last month.

The winger joined Rangers from Schalke in July 2022 and has failed to cement a place at Ibrox.

To give context, he played 2,706 minutes in 70 matches and scored eight goals and 11 assists for Rangers.

In January 2025, the Scottish club sent him on loan to Hannover 96 and before that, we broadcast news Of interest to Ajax. Since returning from his loan spell in Germany, he lost prominence at Rangers.

Russell Martin did not give him any minutes and his successor Rohl used him twice in cup competitions this season. He played only one minute in the Scottish Premiership, which came against Aberdeen FC in November.

The restricted rule under Rohl this season may have convinced him to leave Rangers permanently in search of regular minutes.

Still to fly after the Rangers get out

Rabbi Matondo has yet to showcase his talents since leaving Ibrox for SK Brann a few weeks ago.

Since moving to Norway, Brann manager Friar Alexandersson had left him as an unused substitute in the first two matches.

At the weekend, the former Rangers man came off the bench late on to play a minute in his team’s 3-2 defeat to Viking FK.

Spoke to the Wales international after the latest defeat bergens tidende And his comments were published in Monday’s edition of the newspaper.

The attacker was barely on the pitch after coming off the bench in the 96th minute.

Matondo is unhappy with both his position and the latest defeat.

“Of course we wanted better results,” He said.

“It wasn’t many minutes. In my mind, I’m more prepared than ever and I was expecting more minutes, but this is football. I feel ready for more than three-four minutes on the pitch. If I had more time I could help more.”

Our opinion: Welshman’s slow start not surprising

The former Rangers player only playing a few minutes for SK Brann should come as no surprise.

This is because before moving to Norway, Rabbi Matondo had only played 65 minutes for Rangers this season. This suggests he lacks match practice and may need time to adjust to a new club in a new country.

Barring any surprises, players should take their time trying to solidify their place in Brains.

Marseille, Real Betis and Getafe ready to sign evertonAdam Aznu in summer.

The Premier League team signed the left-back from Bayern Munich in July 2025 and he has struggled this season.

He has yet to appear for Everton in the league as David Moyes has largely left him on the bench, not including him in the squad on a few occasions.

The 19-year-old had to wait until January to make his Toffees debut. This resulted in their FA Cup defeat to Sunderland, and remains his only appearance for the Merseyside club to date.

Last October, Sports Witness broadcast news He seriously considered leaving Everton in the winter market.

The Everton man has no shortage of fans

Adam Aznu is going through a tough time at Everton, but that hasn’t stopped clubs from showing interest in him.

is according to Africa FootWho report the fullback’s profile appeals to Marseille, Real Betis and Getafe. Of these three, the Ligue 1 side is the ‘most consistent favourite’.

Marseille believe he can revive his career in France, while the La Liga pair are keeping a close eye. He has experience playing in Spain from his loan spell at Real Valladolid in 2025.

Spain-born Morocco international’s situation at Everton ‘opens the door’ to a summer transfer. David Moyes’ decision not to hand him minutes may encourage his supporters to submit a concrete proposal in the coming weeks.

Aznu desires to receive regular playing time next season and has interested parties. His priorities and Everton’s stance on sanctioning a move after this season are not yet clear.

Contract, price and agent information

The Moroccan will have three years remaining on his contract after this season. According to its value transfer market€7m and remains unchanged since his transfer to Everton.

Spanish agency Footfell ISM, headed by agent Alejandro Caamaño, is representing Adam Aznu.

Bayern Munich are monitoring the progress of Anthony Gordon newcastle united Closely, confident that there are lots of benefits to a deal.

BILD journalist Christian Falk reports Bayern see the Newcastle star as a star who can cover them in many areas.

Bayern values ​​Gordon’s versatility

Bayern have been named as surprise candidates for Anthony Gordon this summer in a report this week. The Champions League semi-finalists are reportedly eyeing a £55million deal for the 25-year-old.

This has certainly raised eyebrows given the talent in Bayern’s forward line at present. Vincent Kompany’s side have already scored 105 goals in the Bundesliga, breaking the record held since the 1971–72 season.

At least it can be said that Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz are in tremendous form. Real Madrid found this out in the Champions League this week. Where Gordon, who has 17 goals and five assists in 46 games this season, will fit in is unclear.

But Falk argues that Bayern see huge benefits from the deal, as the Englishman can play in multiple positions.

“They’re looking for a backup for Luis Diaz,” He said.

“I have made inquiries within the club, and the strategy has been explained to me: Yes, Bayern are interested and he is on their shortlist.

“Because he’s capable of playing so many different positions, he won’t just be a pure backup.

“He can play behind Diaz, he is being considered a backup to Kane, and he can also play on the right flank. And you have to admit that getting two or three positional options for the price of one makes perfect sense.”

Newcastle United want £80 million

The bigger problem may be Newcastle United’s asking price. According to Christian Falk, they would like £80 million to sell Gordon that summer.

Bayern may hesitate at that price, as Luiz Diaz is priced at €67.5m, and he has scored 24 goals and registered 18 assists in 42 games this season. In comparison, Anthony Gordon would be worth around €92m at the current asking price.

Falk admits Bayern do not want to trade with Newcastle for those figures.

“I have now heard a specific figure, He added.

“Newcastle are looking to demand £80m, which equates to €92m. I’ve heard that Bayern, on the other hand, envision a fee of €60m. I believe the discrepancy could be a dealbreaker.”

FFP could help Bayern’s cause

However, Bayern may have an ace up its sleeve. Newcastle United are likely to need a sale this summer to finance their business and balance their books. And Falk suggests Bayern are aware of this.

“The Financial Fair Play rules are also directly in Bayern’s hands. Newcastle have to strike some balance in this regard,” He concluded.

“They have completed some deals recently to make sure they remain in compliance. And that’s probably another reason why they need to sell players.

“The Telegraph now reports that Anthony Gordon would be open to a move this summer. It seems like an opportunity.”

Unai Emery brings much-needed stability Aston Villa Since his arrival.

two months ago, sports witness Real Madrid’s interest in the Spaniard has been covered. There has been silence in the Spanish press since then, but Madrid will soon be looking for a new manager.

Los Blancos have not yet made any decision regarding Alvaro Arbeloa. However, he is expected to leave after Wednesday’s defeat to Bayern Munich in Europe.

Admiration for Emery extends beyond Spain and there is also interest in him in Italy.

Napoli praises Unai Emery

of napolimagazine Emanuele Cammarotto Report on Antonio Conte’s future at Naples. Has become a substitute for the Italian national team manager.

The journalist makes it clear that as of now, there is ‘nothing’ between Conte and the Azzurri, but that does not mean that Napoli will not lose the Italian in the summer.

When it comes to replacements, Partenopei CEO Aurelio De Laurentiis has two ‘long time’ loves. One is Jurgen Klopp, who has not managed since leaving Liverpool. The other is Aston Villa’s Emery and the center of attention is the 54-year-old.

The main reason for this is that Napoli do not want to take too many risks. He did so in 2023 after Luciano Spalletti left. This led to their worst title defense in Serie A history during the 2023/24 campaign.

Emery is seen as someone who is proven and a manager who will bring stability to the Partenopei.

Our take: Napoli would be a chaotic move

As things stand, Aston Villa appears to be a club that mirrors Unai Emery’s views.

Since joining, he has mastered their style of play, which relies on structure, counter-attacking with pace and breaking the opposition lines as quickly as possible.

She has become the identity of villains.

Emery’s flexible setup suits the way Italian football works. However, Napoli is a slightly chaotic club. De Laurentiis, in particular, is notorious for being difficult to work with.

Olympique de Marseille’s search for a new sporting director has taken a decisive turn and now includes Paul Michel, in what will be his first role since. newcastle united.

Foot Mercato reports that MichelleJoe, who has been a free agent since leaving Newcastle in June last year, could now be set for a return to France.

great reputation

Foot Mercato reports that Marseille are stepping up their efforts to find a successor to Medhi Benatia. It was observed that the French side spread its trap.

While a number of potential names have surfaced in the press in recent days, including Italian Cristiano Giuntoli, one name that keeps coming up again and again is Paul Michel.

According to the outlet, the 45-year-old is backed by a ‘wealth of compelling arguments’ in his favor. Their reputation is ‘firmly established’ in the European market.

Mitchell has worked at various clubs in Europe including Southampton, Tottenham, RB Leipzig, Monaco and Newcastle United. His time spent in Ligue 1 with Monaco made the biggest impression on Marseille.

impressive monaco work

He arrived in Monaco with the mandate to restructure a club in crisis and was successful, returning them to their ‘rightful place’ among the league’s elite.

During his tenure, he significantly modernized the Academy, established the ‘Elite Group’, strengthened ties with the Cercle Brugge and reconnected the Monegasque institution to its historical roots. Marseille is aware of all this.

He continued his success during a one-year stint at Newcastle. FM says he ‘established himself’ as one of the Magpies’ key men at St James’ Park, and played a key role in their Carabao Cup success.

marseille aware

Marseille are very aware of their success. In fact, they had tried to hire him in the past. And the fact that he is a free agent after leaving Newcastle makes him very attractive.

In fact, according to the FM, he ‘ticks all the boxes’. He has an international network and is fluent in English, French and Spanish. He also matches perfectly with the expectations of Marseille’s leadership.

The French side want someone who can take on a leadership role, focusing heavily and keenly on developing talent in the youth academy. Michelle fits the bill.

Marseille has not made a move yet, but they have him on their list and clearly value him highly. The fact that he left Newcastle after only one year is not seen as a negative either. In fact, his free agent status has made him even more attractive.

Jack Harrison transfer to Fiorentina leeds united Surprised many people. The Englishman is now certain to stay in Italy beyond the season if the decision is his.

The winger’s transfer was covered extensively sports witness In January. La Viola, who was fighting against demotion at the time, added an option to buy to the loan deal.

In the beginning, Harrison did not do as much as he wanted to. But he has provided assists in each of the last two matches, contributing to the decisive goals in 1-0 wins over Verona and Lazio.

This could have huge significance for Fiorentina this season, who now find themselves 15th in the table.

At one point, the Italian press seemed confident that Harrison would return to Leeds, however, recent form is likely to change that stance.

The player himself has now expressed his desire to stay at Fiorentina.

Harrison hints at permanent deal

After the win over Lazio on Monday, the winger spoke to the press about his situation at Fiorentina.

He made it clear that he loves this city and wants to create an even bigger identity in it.

Harrison said- via Laviola: : “I loved it here, I’m really happy with this experience. I love the people, I love the city. it’s a great place. We’ll see about the future, but I try my best on the field to prove my worth.“

He also indicated his desire to keep improving and helping Fiorentina.

“I’m working hard to improve. In this match, like in the previous matches, I had some chances. But the important thing is to win, get three points and help the team get out of this difficult period. If I score, it’s great. The coach always asks me to score.“

Furthermore, the 29-year-old expressed confidence in what he brings to the Serie A team. He also seemed happy with this effect.

“I brought intensity, pressure, everything I could bring. Vanoli appreciated it. I know how important this phase of attack and defense is“

Our opinion: A permanent deal more likely than a few weeks ago

Jack Harrison has ignored the outside noise and worked hard to change things. For this and for making significant contributions when the game needed it, he deserves credit.

Fiorentina’s survival should also increase his chances of leaving Leeds United permanently. Demotion would have meant financial disaster, but now, they should have enough money to exercise Option to buy for €7m.

Ideally all parties involved should be satisfied. The Whites would take the winger off their books and use it to sign other, youth team players.

watford Midfielder Pierre Dwomoah has revealed how they have come to an agreement to move in the summer transfer window.

Het Nieuwsblad has an interview This week with the 21-year-old. He explains what’s going on behind the scenes with him on Vicarage Road.

The youngster has found himself out of the Watford picture in recent months, so much so that they have decided to part ways.

Watford exit confirmed

Watford, currently 10^th In the Championship, Pierre has agreed not to extend his current deal with Dwomoh. The deal is set to expire in the summer.

This comes after a disappointing season in which he did manage a minute of action for the Hornets, coming briefly against West Brom in October. Talks had already taken place in January to end things quickly.

“Watford – even though it’s an English second-division club – is a big club. If you get injured, they just buy someone else,” he said.

“My rival Nampalys Mendy, formerly of Leicester City, gave his best performance. I just had to accept it.”

two months without training

The young midfielder has actually been out of the picture at Watford for the last two months after withdrawing from training due to personal reasons.

However, he credits Watford for understanding the situation.

“I stepped down due to family reasons, which I don’t want to go into details about,” he said.

“From the beginning of January to the beginning of March, I was not involved in football. I want to thank Watford for understanding.”

The Hornets also allowed Dwomoah to train elsewhere. That’s how he ended up at Dutch club Heerenveen.

“I have known manager Robin Veldman since he was the RSCA Futures coach. We are always open to a possible collaboration,” he said.

“Looking at the number of professional matches I have already played (just under seventy, ed), I don’t think we can still call it a trial or testing period.

“Heerenveen wanted to see if I fit into the club’s project. I was to train with them in a group setting. A possible contract was never discussed. This had to be clarified at a later stage.”

Injury ruins plans, focus on summer

A physical problem put an end to that particular plan, meaning he could show Heerenveen what he’s worth. Excess weight in his thigh meant he was not able to engage in training immediately.

He is now back in Antwerp and working with his physio until he is fully ready. Now his focus is on the summer, when he will be a free agent.

He concluded, “Things are always good. I’m confident. My professional career isn’t over at 21, you know.”

“I look to the future with optimism. And I am not afraid to take a step back. I did that first at KV Oostende and later at RWDM. My footballing qualities will always be at the top, no matter where it is.”

chelsea’s The ongoing relationship with River Plate is beginning to feel less like isolated scouting missions and more like a continuous open line between the two clubs.

From candy page To santiago beltranFrom Ian Subiabre To Alejandro Garnacho Links keep popping up in the background, connections gathering. And now, young defender Lautaro Rivero is right in the middle of that conversation again.

This is not at all new. As we covered in NovemberChelsea were already keeping an eye on the centre-back. However, the latest update from Argentina suggests that things may go further than simple surveillance.

Chelsea are now pushing for Rivero

report from argentina It is claimed that Chelsea are now pushing to sign Lautaro Rivero, with Bayern Munich also involved.

The main detail is time. The idea is to try to secure an agreement after the World Cup, pointing towards a strategic approach rather than an immediate move.

This is what we have been seeing at Chelsea for some time now. They track in advance, position themselves and then attack when the moment is right.

The River Plate, for its part, does not stand still.

River is already preparing for life after Rio

In recent weeks, especially after comments, the situation of Lautaro Rivero has been closely linked to that of Ian Subiabre We previously covered Hernan Castillo.

He clarified that Nadi is already ready to depart. He mentioned both Ian Subiabre and Lautaro Rivero as “very possible exits” in the summer.

He also revealed that the club is planning financially around those exits, expecting a combined income of around €25m-€30m (£21.7m-£26.1m).

This gives us a working framework. If Tottenham’s approach to Subiabre With reports in the region of €12m-€14m (£10.4m-£12.2m) being discussed, this puts Rivero in a similar bracket, even if no exact figure has been confirmed.

More importantly, Rivers is already acting on that expectation.

The club is pushing to bring back Facundo Medina, with Coudet identifying the Argentina international as a priority target. This does not happen alone. It looks like preparation.

Why does Chelsea keep circling the river?

Chelsea’s repeated involvement here is not accidental. They have formed a clear pattern in South America. Identify talent early, stay close to the situation, and be ready when circumstances are favorable – contract pressure, playing time, or an internal desire to sell.

Meanwhile, River Plate is one of the most active exporters of young talent in the region. So it is natural that paths keep crossing. We recently covered the conversation To make it an official partnership.

Rivero fits Chelsea’s profile. He is young, already integrated into senior football, has a great opportunity for development and has an attainable fee compared to the European market.

At the same time, the presence of Bayern Munich in the conversation increases the level of race.

But although Rivers don’t seem desperate to sell immediately, they are clearly preparing for it. Discussion of post-World Cup deals suggests this could drag on into the summer rather than be resolved quickly.

For Chelsea, this might actually be ideal. They have been here before also. Be patient, maintain contact and move forward when the window opens properly.

With both Rivero and Subiabre expected to attract serious bids, River Plate could be headed for a major reshuffle.

And if that happens, Chelsea will definitely be involved somewhere in the middle.

leeds united Just watched Lucas Perry drag them up to Wembley. However, that doesn’t seem to have resolved the wider issue regarding the Brazilian goalkeeper’s place in Daniel Farke’s plans just yet.

The 27-year-old was the hero against West Ham United on Sunday, saving two penalties as Leeds United reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since the 1986-87 season. This was after a 2–2 draw and a 4–2 shootout win. The reward is a semi-final against Chelsea later this month.

That is why Brazil’s latest claims deserve attention. Even if it looks more like market noise than anything advanced at present, it still remains remarkable.

local journalist george nicola Perry is said to be frustrated with his situation at Leeds after arriving expecting to become the first-choice goalkeeper. Instead, he now finds himself largely restricted to cup matches.

There is enough going on around Leeds United to make that claim credible. Perry started the season as the expected number one – and he was loving it. The Premier League had already earmarked him as a potential first-choice move to Elland Road ahead of the campaign.

However, Karl Darlow has taken over the league. Perry have been relegated to the margins while mainly maintaining their place in the FA Cup.

League place is the issue now

Lucas Perry’s basic statistics help explain why this has become a topic of discussion. TransferMarket lists him with 16 Premier League appearances and two FA Cup games this season. However, he has not been a regular league starter for some time. Since being dropped he has made only two starts, both in the FA Cup.

This matters because the Brazilian angle in Nikola’s report is also easy to understand. Perry has already entered the national team picture. A goalkeeper sitting on the bench in league action will always feel vulnerable when the World Cup-related competition starts to heat up. He wants more call-ups in the future.

Now, homecoming is being viewed positively in the player’s camp. This happened after he suffered “A Terrible Fall From Grace” At leeds united.

Stressing that regular football and a leading role will help him rebuild his momentum, Perry believes he could be closer to the Brazil team picture if he was playing consistently in his home country. Brazilian clubs are said to be already monitoring the situation.

Move background and what comes next

Leeds United paid Lyon a fixed €16m (£14.0m) for Lucas Perry, with a possible bonus of an additional €2m (£1.6). This is according to reports from the official French side of the deal.

So Leeds have a goalkeeper who has provided one of their biggest cup moments in decades. Yet the broader picture still suggests that he is second in the league.

Nikola’s information should be treated with caution for now, as there is no sign of a formal move or concrete exit process yet.

Still, the situation is becoming easier to read. If Perry believes regular football is essential to his Brazil hopes, and if those around him are starting to view a move back to Brazil as a realistic solution, then Leeds may have to make a decision sooner than expected.

Right now, Brazilian clubs are only watching, but a goalkeeper signed for €16m (£14.0m) and thrust out of the league prominence will naturally attract attention.

Fenerbahce has Tottenham HotspurPep Matar Sarr on his transfer target list for the summer.

Tottenham signed the midfielder from FZ Metz in 2021 and immediately sent him back on a season-long loan deal.

He arrived in the English capital in the summer of 2022, when Antonio Conte was manager.

Conte initially wanted the 23-year-old to go out on loan but decided to keep him. player revealed first They packed their bags before Oliver Skipp’s injury changed everything.

Sarr has played 137 matches for Tottenham so far and 33 have been this season.

His Premier League statistics per game this season are as follows:

• Intercept: 0.8
• Tackle: 1.5
• Possession won (final third): 0.2
• Ball recovered: 3.4
• Clearance: 2.1
• Blocked Shots: 0.5
• Duel won: 3.8

Turkey transferred interest in Tottenham player

As such There is now a report which focuses on Fenerbahçe’s interest in Pep Matar Sarr and also mentions Galatasaray as an option.

Istanbul’s two rivals are now fighting for the title, with Galatasaray top of the table with a one-point lead and a game in hand.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Canaries have already started preparations for the next window and have identified Tottenham Hotspur player and Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guerresi as a target.

Their interest in the Senegal international is not new but previous attempts to secure his services failed.

This time, Fenerbahçe is pursuing the 23-year-old case in a ‘more decisive’ manner and have ‘reopened negotiations’. It is unclear whether these discussions are with the player’s agent Roberto De Zerbi or both.

Galatasaray are also showing interest in the midfielder and hence, the two local rivals could compete for his signature in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

Takvim made no mention of Tottenham’s transfer stance regarding Sarr.

In 2024, Tottenham Hotspur secured him on a new contract until 2030. their value, according to transfer marketNow at €32m and the highest was €45m in May 2024.

At the start of the season, there were reports that he had changed agents and Unique Sports Group is now representing him.

Danny Rohl could be without Rangers’ Youssef Chermiti next season as PSV Eindhoven look to lure him away from Ibrox.

The striker graduated from Sporting’s youth system and left them for Everton in 2023. He played 295 minutes in 24 matches over two seasons with the Premier League team.

That didn’t stop Rangers from bringing him to Ibrox for £8million [€9.2m] In September, when Rohl’s predecessor, Martin Russell, was in charge.

The striker has been playing regularly for Rangers and has been showcasing his qualities this season.

His Scottish Premiership statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 23
• Start: 14
• Total minutes: 1,388
• Minutes per game: 60
• Target: 9
• Help: 2

His performance on behalf of Rohl did not go unnoticed in the winter market. In January, Sports Witness broadcast news Fenerbahçe offered, but the deal never took shape.

Club maintains interest in Rangers man

PSV Eindhoven have now stepped forward to attempt to sign Youssef Chermiti in the summer window.

is according to eindhovens dagbladThe local newspaper of the Dutch club, covering the latest.

The Eredivisie side are pursuing the Rangers player along with other unnamed clubs. ED reports PSV discovered or were offered a number of players in the last window.

The 21-year-old was on their agenda in January and PSV will likely continue to keep an eye on him until the next window. Feyenoord also have him on their radar for 2025.

At the moment, the Dutch club do not have much interest in the Rangers player, which means signing him is not their priority.

The Portugal U21 international’s stance on a potential summer transfer to PSV has not been made clear in the report. Should he decide to leave Ibrox after this season, Rangers will have a decision to make.

ED says Rangers’ fee demand is a ‘crucial factor’ if Chermiti pushes for transfer. There is no mention of a figure, but it would certainly be in the double digits, meaning €10 million or more.

If Fabian Herzeler gets the big move he wants, St. Pauli could be set for a nice move this summer.

BILD reports that the German club held talks A sell-on clause with Brighton when Herzeler joins Brighton in 2024. Reports are now linking him with a return to the Bundesliga this summer.

bayer leverkusen interest

A report this week said Bayern Leverkusen have once again added Fabian Herzeler to their list as they consider a summer managerial change.

The club are looking to part ways with Kasper Hjulmand this summer and Herzeler is once again on their list. The German club wanted him after Xabi Alonso left, but they considered his release clause of around €20m too high.

He has now fallen through and Herzeler is considered more affordable this summer. The 33-year-old has also revealed behind the scenes that he wants to leave Brighton for a Champions League club this summer.

This gives Leverkusen hope that they can get him this summer. Of course, they have to qualify for the Champions League first.

St. Pauli also benefits

Any move would also benefit St. Pauli, according to BILD. He receives around €5m from Brighton in 2024. This figure is his second most expensive sale to date.

But he also negotiated a sell-on clause in the transfer agreement with Brighton. If Leverkusen now signs Fabian Herzeler, the Hamburg club will receive a share.

BILD says the 10% provision is standard practice in such agreements. For example, if Leverkusen pays €10m, St. Pauli will receive another €1m from their former coach. They will certainly keep an eye on the situation around Herzeler in the coming months.

Fabian Herzeler is considered a possibility for a Brighton exit

It appears all signs are pointing towards Fabian Herzeler leaving Brighton at the end of the season.

Bayer Leverkusen appear to be happy to pay for him this time, and he is also planning a move to a bigger club. Two parts of the deal have already happened.

Now it remains to be seen what Brighton think. There was increasing pressure on him to make a change this season amid a poor run of form, but Herzeler has now changed that.

For now the focus will be on finishing the season on a positive note. But Leverkusen are hiding, and St. Pauli could have an advantage if they attack.

Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario has been consistently mentioned as an Inter Milan target over the past few months.

A return to Italy is now getting closer for the goalkeeper.

Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio has already made preliminary contact with the player’s agent Gabriele Giuffrida. Those things happened during the trip to London.

it was covered extensively sports witnessThe Italian giants boast an excellent relationship with Vicario’s squad.

Giuffrida is said to have helped Inter with several deals in the past. The Tottenham player was also close to joining the Nerazzurri ahead of his arrival in London in 2023.

With the deal now gaining momentum, the 29-year-old’s stance is very clear.

Vicario agrees to the personal terms

interest Today report that the goalkeeper now has an agreement on personal terms on a move to Inter.

The Serie A leaders have agreed a four-year deal worth €3.5m per season, a figure likely to be after tax. This is more than the player’s current earnings at Tottenham and could prompt a transfer.

The outlet has confirmed that Inter have already spoken to Vicario and his agent, with the ex-Empoli man giving the green light to the transfer.

In fact, he is ‘honoured’ by Inter’s eagerness to sign him. The player is not pushing for an exit but the Nerazzurri’s next step is to hold talks with Tottenham.

Our Opinion: There should be a deal

There are still months left for the transfer window to open, but Inter are making rapid progress towards the signing of Vicario. This probably suggests that a deal could very well be done by June.

Given the way the Italy international has bounced back this season, Tottenham should also be keen to be different. Vicario has shown weaknesses in and out of possession, looking clearly a shadow of himself from the Anze Postecoglou days.

Furthermore, there is every possibility that Spurs will get a better goalkeeper in the summer. A new manager will impose his ideas and Vicario may not be the best choice given his weaknesses on the ball.

There may be problems with the transfer fee, with the belief in Italy that €20 million, or slightly less, would be enough for Tottenham.

Chelsea are once again facing increasing noise around Enzo Fernandez and his move away from Stamford Bridge, with the Spaniard’s latest claims suggesting the situation is rapidly changing.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times. Earlier reports had him as one of several options, with Rodri seen as the priority target. However, that stance now seems to be changing.

It follows the first Updates covered this morningWhere Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo described Fernandez as a “guaranteed signing” profile for Madrid, highlighting both his leadership and World Cup pedigree. However, at that stage, he was still designed as an option rather than the main focus.

Change in thinking of Real Madrid

According to journalist Raul Varela, speaking radio brandThe situation has now tilted significantly in favor of Fernandez.

He said: “Enzo is very close to Madrid, Rodri has no chance to go to Madrid. Today, the president does not want to sign Rodri.”

That’s a strong claim, especially considering that Rodri was widely seen as the ideal midfield addition. The argument appears to be both financial and strategic, with age and long-term value playing a role.

Enzo Fernandez Comments and Feedback

Enzo Fernandez’s own words have also added fuel to the fire. As we covered earlierHe said he would “really love” to stay in Madrid.

That comment went unnoticed. one more Mark Journalist Irene Junquera suggested that the midfielder may not feel completely comfortable in London and is ready for a change. He said such comments were unlikely to be well received internally at Chelsea.

This cannot be completely true. In same podcast He spoke about the possibility of staying in Madrid, with Enzo saying: “I like language [English]. I speak it, I understand it. It’s not like I’m roaming on the streets all day. But inside the club I say it every day with everyone.

Anyhow, other voices on the same program took a more football-centric approach. Journalist Amalio Moratalla highlighted Fernández’s quality and suitability for Madrid.

“He is a top-class player who will definitely fit in at Real Madrid; the question is what price Chelsea will set and what effort Real Madrid will have to make,” He said.

While Nacho Palencia pointed to the appeal of joining a club of that stature.

“It’s Real Madrid that wants you, not Antequera [an amateur level side from Spain]. It is a very favorable situation for the player and his family, and Madrid needs a player of that profile; This will be a very beneficial deal for both parties.

What does this mean for Chelsea

Enzo Fernandez will remain under contract at Chelsea until 2032, and his current market value sits around €90m (£77m) transfer market. However, with Chelsea having paid €123m (£106.8m), any deal may need to exceed that figure.

So Chelsea is still in a strong position. Still, the story is developing. Earlier reports had described Madrid’s interest as exploratory. Now, at least in Spain, there is a growing belief that Fernandez is the more realistic signing.

At present there has been no confirmation of formal talks. Nevertheless, a combination of player comments, media support and changing priorities in Madrid keeps it tenaciously alive.

what happens next

The Enzo Fernandez situation looks set to become one of the major stories of the summer.

If Real Madrid advances decisively, Chelsea will face a major decision. They can either protest and build around him, or consider a sale that would reshape their midfield.

A lot may depend on timing. Fernandez has previously said he would do so Assess his future after the World Cup. Until then, Chelsea may face continued noise and increasing pressure over one of their biggest investments.

Manuel Ugarte has largely disappointed since joining Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024. His exit from Old Trafford is now certain.

The Uruguayan has played just 791 minutes in the Premier League so far this season. His last start came against Burnley and since then, he has been on the bench four times under Michael Carrick.

sports witness He made no secret of his frustration at the 24-year-old’s lack of game time when explaining his stance to the Uruguayan press earlier this month.

The midfielder’s situation is catching the attention of Juventus, who are now keeping a close eye on the former PSG man.

juventus will explore ugarte

gazzetta dello sport The report says the midfielder will feature in Uruguay’s friendly against Algeria on Tuesday. Coincidentally, the match will be played at the Allianz Stadium and this will help Juve defeat Ugarte.

Sporting director Marco Ottolini is keen on the prospect of bringing him to Turin in the summer. He will keep a close eye on the Manchester United player, who has been the subject of interest for the Old Lady in the past.

During the player’s time at Sporting, Juve attempted to execute a deal for Ugarte. Even during his ongoing tenure at Old Trafford, attempts were made to sign him on loan last July.

Tuesday’s game could give Juve the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the player. If things go well, Ugarte could top the Bianconeri’s summer shortlist for midfield signings.

Our opinion: Manchester United should cut their losses

It doesn’t feel like Ugarte is offering enough to the current team. That’s why Manchester United are considering midfield signings that will take that position to a new level in the summer.

Keeping him around long-term would derail the Uruguay international’s career and could see his value drop further.

Manchester United could use the money gained from Ugarte’s exit to help bring in another midfielder. A good World Cup for the player would do wonders to boost his fee, Juventus’ interest could only help further.

Raheem Sterling has been told to leave football and move to Ibiza with his wife, following his latest disappointing performances for Feyenoord, with his career faltering after Chelsea.

Soccer News reports today on the 31-year-old player. Their Dutch adventure is not going well, and it looks like Feyenoord are tired.

That is certainly the case for Feyenoord legend Willem Van Hanegem. He didn’t back down after watching last weekend’s disastrous classic. Feyenoord drew 1–1 with Ajax in that game, with Sterling again failing to make an impact.

ask for your money back

Sterling has managed just one assist in five games for Feyenoord since arriving on a free transfer in January. And While manager Robin van Persie continues to support himVan Hanegem has seen a lot.

Speaking on the Willem & Wessel podcast, Van Hanegem spoke candidly. Sterling once again failed to make any impact.

“He wasn’t there again, no. If it were me, I’d ask for my money back and say: just go home,” He said.

“You shouldn’t push a player like that. He used to be a good player; he was still fit and fast, but that’s it. If he bumps into you, he falls. Isn’t that crazy?

“You shouldn’t do that yourself as a player. If they lack pace and they have the ball, they go straight over them. It’s pointless.”

Despite the criticism, Van Hanegem is fully hopeful that Raheem Sterling will play a key role in the next game against FC Volendam. He believes this is a decision fans are tired of seeing.

“We’re not looking forward to it, because we’ve already said six times that he’s not that good. I don’t think it’s just us, it’s a lot of people,” he said.

“It won’t work”

Van Hanegem is not alone in his criticism of Raheem Sterling. On the KieftJansenEgmondGijp podcast, René van der Gijp echoed this sentiment, urging Sterling to take control of his future.

“He should go to Robin van Persie and say: let’s stop this. It won’t work.

“This isn’t good for me, for you, or for the club. You’re not really helping anyone with this. He should just go to Ibiza, wear his swimming trunks, and eat delicious paella with his wife.

“Then he would be having a great time. But it won’t work for him now. What a shame.”

Is this the end for Sterling?

In the Netherlands the message seems clear. Raheem Sterling’s time in Rotterdam is becoming increasingly untenable.

Whether the club takes action or Sterling takes matters into his own hands, the sentiment among fans and pundits seems to be much the same. Something has to be given, otherwise disappointment can soon turn into anger.

Bernardo Silva looks to be on the verge of a Manchester City exit as his contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in the summer.

The midfielder won his first silverware on Sunday as the Citizens beat Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. It was his 18th trophy during his tenure at the club, but it is unlikely to have any impact on his decision regarding his future.

sports witness We’ve covered the angle on which Juventus are pushing to sign the Portuguese. It is said that there was already an offer on the table for the midfielder, and that talks had already taken place with his agent Jorge Mendes.

The Old Lady have a long-standing working relationship with the super agent and can now help them seal a deal for the Manchester City player.

Juve offered another player

gazzetta dello sport Report that the Bianconeri have indeed spoken to Mendes for Bernardo. During these negotiations, they were also offered the chance to sign Porto’s star goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

The Portugal international is believed to consider the summer of 2026 as the right time for an exit. He has been at Porto since the age of 11 and Juve could now be his next destination as they look for a new goalkeeper.

The move is being considered in Turin, where the Manchester City player is seen as an important transfer opportunity. The main reason for this is that he is a free agent and still provides a lot of value to the team.

Meanwhile, a deal for Costa is likely to cost around €50 million, but this could be reduced due to Mendes.

Confirmation from Spain regarding Manchester City player

game The 31-year-old man has also been reported in detail in Spain. He is confident that Juve actually have an offer for the multiple-time Premier League winner.

Mendes has made it clear to suitors that money is not the player’s priority and Bernardo is more focused on the current project. Part of the ex-Benfica player’s family lives in Barcelona, ​​in which the Catalan club also have interest.

The only reason he has not made a formal approach yet is lack of space in the team. Bernardo will be in a starting position but all the slots in midfield at Barcelona are already filled.

mendes at work

Everything indicates that Mendes is now really pushing to find a new club for the midfielder. Maybe that’s why information about Bernardo is spreading in many countries.

Since Juve have also been given the chance to sign Diogo Costa, this suggests that they could be the favorites for his signature.

Unlike Barcelona, ​​he will have a starting spot in midfield free for next season. Manuel Locatelli and Khefren Thuram are the only two designated starters in midfield. Bernardo can operate as a more advanced midfielder in the current setup.

He has been playing that role at Manchester City this season and will have no trouble fitting into it.

Manchester United separation seemed certain With Casemiro at the end of the season. However, the picture has changed in recent weeks.

The midfielder has returned to a high level and has started to impress in big matches again. He has performed decisively and brought stability back to the team.

That race has highlighted what he still has to offer. Casemiro provides leadership, organization and control in midfield. He understands the game well and plays defense well. Additionally, his experience helps the younger players around him. As a result, his role within the team has increased again.

This improvement did not go unnoticed. Just a few weeks ago his departure seemed almost certain. Now, Manchester United is re-evaluating that situation. The Brazilian has reminded the club why he was signed in the first place.

Manchester United reconsidering exit as renewal talks unfold

According to a Brazilian outlet report RTI gameUnited have resumed internal discussions regarding Casemiro’s future.

The club now sees him as a useful and reliable option again. This leaves room for talks over a potential renewal, even though their current deal runs until June 2026.

Still, any agreement will depend on finances. Casemiro earns around £350,000 per week, one of the highest salaries in the team.

Manchester United wants to reduce The figure comes as part of a broader salary adjustment. Therefore the conversation will not be straightforward.

Brazil’s plans foiled by Casemiro’s rejection of return

At the same time, interest from Brazil has not stopped. his former club Sao Paulo contacted One more time to explore a possible move after the 2026 World Cup.

This time, the club’s football coordinator – ex-Bayern Munich right-back Rafinha – approached Casemiro’s representatives to hammer out the terms of a deal.

However, the response was clear. Casemiro does not plan to return to Brazil at this stage and has hinted at an opportunity to remain in England. His priority is to play at a high level abroad. That stance has frustrated Brazil’s hopes of bringing him back in the near future.

Other options remain open

Even after Manchester United returned, other clubs continued to monitor the situation. The Brazilian report that Inter Miami have shown interest, while Al-Nassr represents a strong option from Saudi Arabia.

Those offers could prove economically attractive, especially in the Saudi market. Nevertheless, Casemiro’s improved form and his family’s preference to remain in Europe could influence the result. Instability in the Middle East will also be a reason.

The situation has clearly changed for Manchester United. What once seemed like a certain exit has turned into an open decision. Now a lot will depend on whether both sides are able to reach a consensus in the coming months or not.
