Manchester United And Manchester City are considering a €100m bid for Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali this summer.

Corriere Della Sera reports today on the 26-year-oldRevealing that Financial Fair Play rules would force Newcastle to ‘sell their family jewel’ this summer.

Newcastle is listening to offers

According to the newspaper, Newcastle are ready to consider offers for the Italian midfielder as they look to balance the books. The failure to qualify for the Champions League or any format in Europe has forced the sale of Eddie Howe’s side this summer.

After paying €59m to AC Milan, they are expecting an offer of €100m for the Italy international. This is a figure that would put him out of the market for Italian clubs. As his salary is around €10m per year.

Instead, Manchester City and Manchester United According to the newspaper are the ‘most likely destinations’. It remains to be seen whether any of them will pay the €100 million.

Manchester United and Manchester City are looking for a midfielder

Both intend to change their midfield options this summer. Specifically, Manchester United needs at least one player in central midfield to replace the departing Casemiro.

But the perception is that they could target two or three in this role, with the likes of Manuel Ugarte also expected to step up.

Manchester City They have less needs than their city rivals. They already have Rodri, Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Rejenders, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva who can play in central roles.

However, Silva is leaving at the end of his contract and Kovacic is also likely to leave. It also remains to be seen what happens with Rodri. After all he has long been linked with a possible move to Real Madrid.

Either way, the feeling in Italy is that Manchester City and Manchester United are set to do battle over the Newcastle star. And he will find no Italian competition at his asking price of €100 million.

Manchester United He may not be the frontrunner for Richard Rios just yet, but Benfica are now openly laying the groundwork for a potential sale – and that changes the picture around the Colombian midfielder.

Messages have been coming from Portugal for several weeks remained relatively firm. Benfica did not want to be sold cheaply, the player was happy in Lisbon and the club saw the 2026 World Cup as a prime opportunity to further increase his value.

That stance has not completely ended. However, a recent report to ball Suggests that reality is now catching up to ambition.

Benfica need money – and Rios is one of the obvious candidates

The Portuguese side are preparing for a summer rebuild after a disappointing season. There is a real possibility that they will miss out on Champions League football, which would deal a significant financial blow.

Because of this, Benfica’s board are now considering sales that they would ideally have avoided.

According to A Bola, Richard Rios is one of the main names being discussed internally as a possible major exit. Andreas Schjelderup and Vangelis Pavlidis have also been mentioned, but the Colombian midfielder has been described as the leading candidate in midfield.

This is a notable change in tone compared to earlier reports. Because previously, Benfica had only been described as willing to listen to “unique” proposals. Now the language has become soft. The report states that the club would be willing to analyze offers upwards of €30m (£26m).

Of course, this is still a large fee. But it is also a far cry from the €100m (£87m) release clause in his contract.

Manchester United still remain interested

Keeping an eye on the situation, Manchester United has once again been named among the English clubs.

The report does not go as far as claiming formal negotiations or bids. However, the Premier League team continues to feature in Portuguese reporting about the player.

Napoli are said to be particularly alert, while English clubs are also monitoring developments.

But for United, the interest still makes logical sense. Since the beginning of 2025, Richard Ríos has played 90 matches for club and country. That workload alone speaks volumes about his physical toughness.

Also, his production has also improved this season. The 25-year-old has already registered six goals and six assists, making this the most productive campaign of his career so far.

If Michael Carrick’s side are looking to improve the midfield, he could certainly be one of the strong contenders for a place in the team.

Benfica is balancing evaluation and urgency

The interesting thing here is the paradox that Benfica is now trying to manage.

On the one hand, they still believe that the World Cup can significantly increase the market value of Richard Rios. The Colombian is expected to be part of his national team’s plans in 2026, and Benfica know that a strong tournament could greatly increase his price.

On the other hand, they may not be in a financial position to comfortably wait.

An Bola repeatedly formulated the club’s summer strategy around the need for liquidity before reinvesting in the team. This explains why the tone around Rios has become more lenient.

So while Benfica aren’t actually putting the “for sale” sign on the midfielder, there is now a very clear sense that they are ‘open to offers’ – especially if the Premier League club decide to seriously make a move.

Manchester United could still snatch the contract from Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi Tottenham Hotspur.

Report by journalist Cesar Luis Merlo Manchester United are still in the mix for the 29-year-old this summer.

Bournemouth exit confirmed

Marcos Senesi confirmed today that he intends to leave Bournemouth at the end of the season when his contract expires.

“I’m proud of what we’ve achieved over the last four years and I’m grateful for the support the fans have given me,” he told the club’s official channels.

The question is where he goes next. According to Merlo, the Argentinian centre-back has plenty of suitors in the Premier League.

According to the journalist, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all ‘vying’ for his signature. Which, if any, of them the keeper chooses remains to be seen.

Over the past few weeks, Tottenham have looked to be at the forefront. Sport Witness has covered several reports stating that. Actually the last of them made it clear That was their offer, and it was the best one currently on the table.

Manchester United’s interest

But Manchester United has always been on the field. A report from last month He continued to insist that they were one of the clubs pursuing the Bournemouth defender this summer.

And if Merlo is to be believed, he remains in the picture at this point. In fact they have ‘competed’ for the centre-back position with Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. This shows that Senesi has not yet taken any definite decision regarding his future.

Italy is also interested in considering this. Various reports in Italy have named Juventus and Napoli as suitors due to his free-agent status. Since summer isn’t here yet, they can still make their own moves.

Either way, Marcos Sensei has a decision to make. He clearly has offers, including from the Premier League. Now the question is whom does he accept?

Manchester United And armory Morten are now emerging as the two clubs with the strongest case for Hjulmand.

The Sporting captain’s expected summer departure is looking like a Premier League battle straight out.

In recent weeks, Manchester City He looks to be the frontrunner after reports in Portugal claimed Hugo Viana’s relationship with Hjulmand had given the Premier League champions a significant advantage.

Soon after, Manchester United moved ahead of their rivals.

Now the latest report from Portugal puts both United and Arsenal at the front of the queue, with both clubs seriously pursuing the Danish midfielder ahead of the summer window.

the agreement is months ago

Another interesting tidbit to emerge from Portugal is that Hjulmand was close to leaving Sporting at the beginning of the season.

according to morning mailThe midfielder had the opportunity to move in January, but instead reached an agreement with Sporting’s hierarchy to stay for the remainder of the season and leave this summer.

This helps explain why Sporting has appeared relatively quiet during a time of increasing transfer noise around the player.

Now an agreement is said to have been reached to allow Hjulmand to leave for around €40m (£34m), while his official release clause is €80m (£69m).

So it looks increasingly like a transfer route has been quietly prepared for months.

Arsenal and Manchester United both matter

Manchester United’s involvement is easy to understand. As we detailed earlier, the club are keen to bring more control and stability to the midfield. And as Casemiro’s departure approaches, Morten Hjulmand could be one of the men to do the job.

But Arsenal’s position is also logical. The Gunners are taking a close look at midfield options capable of bringing structure and balance.

Plus, there’s *that* personal aspect. Hjulmand is an Arsenal fan And there’s even a tattoo associated with the club, which has come up again and again Whenever their future is discussed.

However, any discussion will have to wait for at least a week. The midfielder is currently recovering from a foot injury, but is close to a return and could even play against Gil Vicente this weekend.

If that happens, it could turn out to be his final match at Sporting’s Estadio do Alvalade.

Sporting will then face Turin in the Portuguese Cup final, with the game being seen in Portugal as a potential farewell opportunity for the captain ahead of his expected summer transfer.

what happens next

appear sporting prepared for his departure. The player already has an unofficial route to transfer. And the battle looks increasingly centered between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Manchester City hasn’t completely disappeared from the picture, but the pace of the story has clearly shifted elsewhere.

With the season nearing an end and departure talk growing in Portugal, it is no longer really expected whether Hjulmand will leave or not. Once that is done it ends there.

Interest in AC Milan’s Strahinja Pavlovic is growing and Manchester United There is likely to be tough competition.

The defender has been a shining light in what has been an increasingly bleak campaign for the Rossoneri. From a title challenger, they are now stuck in the Champions League race.

But Pavlovic has improved significantly on his performance last season, scoring five goals in Serie A. Without the Serbian player, Milan would have been even worse in the table.

It has attracted interest from Manchester United sports witness Covering how preliminary inquiries have already been made.

The noise around Pavlovich is not stopping, now more clubs have joined in.

champions league key

IT migration market Report that while Manchester United are interested, Galatasaray are again in the picture for him. They attempted to sign the 24-year-old in January and will in all likelihood make another move in the summer.

Pavlovich rejected the Turkish club when they last put forward an offer for him. While it remains to be seen whether his perception has changed, he is a candidate who could step down in the summer.

This will depend on Milan’s possible qualification for the Champions League. They are level on points with Roma and have won only three out of nine.

If they fail to qualify for the Champions League for the second consecutive time, Pavlovic will leave. His exit will come in the form of significant capital gains, valuing the Serbian at €35m.

Our opinion: Manchester United don’t need Pavlovic

The most important thing for Michael Carrick’s side at the moment is improving the midfield. Pavlovic can solve many issues for many Premier League teams due to his ability on the ball but Manchester United don’t really need a centre-back.

The rise of Ayden Haven is a big reason, with Lisandro Martínez still very close. Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw could easily slot into the left centre-back role, as could Lenny Yarrow.

Unless someone leaves, it is not a necessity.

On Wednesday the news came in Italy that Manchester United ready to offer €50mWhich is higher than the claimed asking price. Obviously this doesn’t make any sense, so there’s clearly propaganda going on in the background.

There may be some level of interest from the Red Devils, however, this is clearly being pushed further than what it is.

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

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

manchester united optimism

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester United’s interest is increasing

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

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

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

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

Strahinja Pavlovic is performing well for AC Milan, and Manchester United It is a matter of interest.

The Serbian has been one of the Rossoneri’s best players this season. This has been unexpected, as he struggled in the 2024/25 campaign.

Under Max Allegri, he has been reliable as a left-sided centre-back. His ball carrying has been impressive, with the defender scoring five goals. The most recent came against Atalanta at the weekend.

Interestingly, this all comes amid growing interest from Manchester United. sports witness It also mentioned Crystal Palace as a possible destination.

Pavlovic’s goal has increased discussion about his future, especially with Milan struggling.

Corriere dello Sport: Red Devils offer expected

corriere dello sport Let’s make it clear that AC Milan cannot miss Champions League football for another season. The Rossoneri will earn up to €90m from qualification and this will provide financial security.

Failure to achieve this would have disastrous consequences and the future of everyone, including Allegri and Pavlovic, would be in doubt.

It is believed the Serbia international is being pursued by Manchester United and other English clubs.

Corriere says the Red Devils are ‘ready to offer 50 million euros’ and would take advantage of Milan’s situation.

The failure to qualify for Europe led to the sale of Theo Hernandez before 30 June last year. The sale of Pavlovic could follow a similar pattern, especially if English clubs make an offer at the right time.

Our opinion: Milan wants sale to England

Clearly, AC Milan are trying to build Strahinja Pavlovic into a star. Although he has been very important, he has defensive weaknesses and they are visible this season.

Milan intend to cash in when his value is high, now that English clubs can pay. The 24-year-old is also of age, making him one of the most valuable players in the Rossoneri squad.

However, Manchester United do not need a centre-back just yet. A suitor like Crystal Palace or Chelsea may offer a better chance for Milan.

of manchester united The interest in Rafael Leao has been thoroughly covered by the Italian media in recent days. AC Milan now seems to be intensifying efforts to sell this player.

The Portuguese attacker was again very disappointing in Milan’s 3-2 defeat to Atalanta at the weekend. He was widely criticized when he was sacked, as the atmosphere at the Rossoneri had become toxic in recent weeks.

Having set high standards for himself over the past few years, LEO has found himself at the center of it all.

Due to this, Milan have considered their summer sale. sports witness Manchester United’s interest has been covered, with Michael Carrick’s side having made initial contact with Jorge Mendes over a potential deal.

As the situation is worsening, the talk of transfer is increasing.

Manchester United will get priority

corriere dello sport Believe that the time has finally come to say goodbye to Leo. He feels there is now a breakdown in relations between the parties, with the Rossoneri prepared to listen to offers of between €50m and €60m in the summer.

Al-Hilal could be a leading candidate for the winger, having attempted to sign him in January 2025. The Saudi side could make another attempt but Leao is more attracted to a move to the Premier League.

The newspaper states that playing in England represents a ‘dream’ scenario, which would be in Manchester United’s favour.

The newspaper says the Red Devils or even Chelsea could make a formal offer.

Our opinion: Milan are promoting the player’s position

Since Jorge Mendes works closely with AC Milan and Rafael Leao, these look like clear attempts to publicize the player’s status. Both Milan and Mendes will benefit from his exit through transfer fees and commissions.

A sale to Manchester United would only add to the excitement, which is why the Red Devils are being regularly talked about in this scenario.

The way Corriere dello Sport has prepared its information suggests there are no offers for the 26-year-old. Milan knows this and that is why they have lowered their asking price.

The transfer opportunity is there for Manchester United, it’s just a matter of whether they really want it.

Manchester City They could seal the signing of German wonderkid Kennett Eichhorn this summer if they are assured of a loan return to Hertha Berlin.

BILD, through its Berlin-Brandenburg edition, Today’s report on the 16-year-old. The newspaper reveals how Manchester City could acquire upcoming German talent ahead of the competition.

manchester city interest

They report that Hertha expects Kennett Eichhorn to remain at the club for another year. However Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City are all interested in the player.

He could leave this summer due to a €12m release clause, further strengthening the hand of those interested.

But Hertha has not given up. They want to convince the young player to stay where he is with guaranteed playing time.

Sports director Benjamin Weber has now made this clear publicly. When asked about the theme, he said, “Spending time with us. Having that security at a young age. Time to grow. That’s what we can offer.”

The plan being made is to sell Eichhorn now and then loan him out for a year. Borussia Dortmund are currently at the front of the queue and have met with their agents.

Weber said, “No decision has been made yet. We have been in contact with Kenny’s parents. We will do everything in our power to convince him to stay here for another year.”

Debt is not a problem for Manchester City

Then again, Manchester City would like to make their move as soon as possible. Reports have credited him with interest for months. Manchester United are also believed to be keen.

Loaning Kennett Eichhorn back to the German club wouldn’t exactly be a huge blow for them. In fact, this is something he has done regularly with brilliance.

Savinho spent time across Europe before joining Pep Guardiola’s team. Vitor Reis is currently at Verona and thriving. He is expected to return to the Etihad next season.

Then again, probably unlike some of the other contenders, he wouldn’t be too bothered by such an idea. At €12 million, this is a bargain worth presenting soon.

David de Gea has experienced a rebirth of sorts after leaving Manchester United. His future at Fiorentina is under threat and is attracting a lot of attention in Italy.

earlier this year, sports witness Covered the Spaniard’s comments about an Old Trafford exit. He described the break year in his career as something that changed him, helping him change his career to Florence.

He has been a regular player for two seasons and has seen ups and downs during this period.

De Gea’s current deal expires in 2028 but there are suggestions he could leave in the summer. Now it seems that only Manchester United can snatch him.

Player may wish to withdraw

Journalist Luca Calamai spoke to Caffè Nero Bolante, addressing some of the hot topics in the Florence club.

He spoke openly about De Gea’s future and suggested he was keen to stay at Fiorentina. But only a call from Manchester United would prompt him to leave in the summer.

The Italian said- via florenceviola: : “I feel like Fiorentina is a big question mark no matter which way you look at it.

“A few days ago, also thanks to the news given by Niccolo Ceccarini, we were convinced that at least with De Gea, for example, everything was decided because the player has clearly and unequivocally expressed his desire to stay in Florence, leaving only a glimpse of a return to Manchester United.”

The journalist explained that not long ago, De Gea’s future at La Viola seemed certain. But now things are not the same, Juventus is moving forward.

“Will De Gea stay? It seemed certain, but today in Turin rumors are resurfacing that De Gea is among the candidates for the Bianconeri jersey.

“There are also talks of contacts between Fiorentina and Juventus on this front, so the question is: does De Gea want to stay, but does Fiorentina want to keep him, or do they want to invest permanently in young Martinelli and save the big salary?”

In short, it seems as if everything will fall to the Spaniard. He has a long-term contract and there is no real reason for him to leave, unless a bigger club calls for him or Manchester United makes a surprise move.

no possibility of return

The future of Altay Bayindir is in doubt. His exit may leave Manchester United looking for a back-up but it is unlikely De Gea will accept that role. At Fiorentina he would get more regular first-team football.

of manchester united Interest in Rafael Leao has been a topic of discussion in recent weeks. The attacker is now struggling and is at the center of AC Milan’s goalscoring issues.

sports witness Covered Jorge Mendes’ involvement in a potential transfer. AC Milan are relying on the super-agent to find a new club for the attacker.

Through Mendes, Manchester United made initial contact to explore the terms of a deal. The Red Devils have an excellent relationship with the agent, having acquired Manuel Ugarte and Lenny Yoro through his work.

A deal for Leo will be cheaper than before, but that’s because his star has faded.

Leo made noise over the weekend

transfer market The report added that Leao’s performance against Atalanta was another ‘black mark’ on his season. Initially he was not expected to play but despite being given the start, he showed an ‘indifferent attitude’.

The game was important for the Rossoneri. Roma’s win over Parma took them level on points with Milan, who found themselves fourth in the table. They lost 3-2 and are now in serious danger of missing out on Champions League football.

The outlet accused Leao of ‘missing goals, poor play’ and was heavily criticized when he was removed in the second half.

Fans at San Siro protested against CEO Giorgio Furlani before the game. The 26-year-old’s performance enraged them further and the loudest boos were heard when the Portugal international was substituted.

Calciomercato doesn’t end there, adding that Leao is ‘hooked’ on the touchline.

Our Opinion: LEO is becoming an easy target

This may worry Manchester United, but AC Milan are generally struggling. They have won only three league games from nine, going from a title challenger to a team that could clinch a Conference League place.

As is often the case, their best player receives the most criticism. The issues are big, as evidenced by the protests against Furlani and Redbird ownership. Max Allegri’s system is also failing to bring out the best from Leo, who finds himself deeper and forced to cover more distances.

liverpool And Manchester City Lens could be tempted by the signing of Samson Baidu, whose stock is rising in France.

The centre-back has played 21 times in Ligue 1 this season, logging almost 2000 minutes in all competitions.

He had been missing in recent weeks with a hamstring injury but has now returned to the squad. He came off the bench against Brest a week ago but recently started against Nice and played a part in the 1–1 draw.

sports witness Aston Villa’s interest in the talent has been covered, with the Villans already making a move for him. Baidu is believed to have a number of attractive scouts, with Juventus also a potential suitor.

Baidu’s future is uncertain

alljuve Report that the centre-back is one of the most interesting young players in Europe at present. While this is a clear attempt to promote the player, he believes Baidu’s future in the lens is becoming increasingly uncertain.

It seems likely he will leave in the summer, with Juventus trying to increase contact for his signature. The Italian side see him as one of their main targets for the summer but the task will not be easy.

Manchester City and Liverpool have been tracking Baidu ‘for some time’, with Inter Milan also interested.

As a result, the valuation of youth is likely to increase in the next few months. He is currently valued at €30m but this could increase as a result of involvement from English clubs.

This would marginalize Juve, giving the Premier League teams an advantage.

Our Opinion: The team is working to promote the player

Baidoo is currently represented by Sportcover, who also represent Juve players Jérémie Boga and Khefren Thuram. The Bianconeri are likely to make a deal with the squad in the summer. Boga will be signed permanently and will attempt to renew Thuram’s contract.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool may also be in need of a centre-back in the summer. Both clubs are going through a period of change and the backline is one of the areas they are looking to add to.

The Lens defender may need another season in France but he is someone who is attracting a lot of attention.

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

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

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United call

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

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

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

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

€80m asking price

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

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

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

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

Manchester United Now Atalanta are trying to turn their long-standing interest in midfielder Ederson into a concrete move, after several weeks of growing indications that a deal could lead to a move away from Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian has become one of the biggest midfield stories to come in the summer window. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Juventus have all appeared in the picture at different moments.

After this, Atletico Madrid looked ready to win the race reach a verbal agreement With the player the week before.

But the Spanish side have struggled to meet Atalanta’s demands, which are thought to be around €45m-50m (£38m-42m). It has opened the door again – and Manchester United are now ready to charge through it.

Manchester United is now trying to move forward quickly

Italian journalist alfredo pedulla Manchester United will reportedly hold fresh talks next week as they try to speed up the operation.

According to him, the Premier League side were actually the first club to make a serious move for Ederson more than a year and a half ago. United have kept an eye on him since then.

Now they are trying to beat the competition by “breaking the 40 million euro wall.”

That line is important because atlético madrid problems Never really thought about explaining it to the player. The real issue is Atalanta’s asking price.

Little changed in Atletico deal

Pedulla also says that Manchester United want to first agree a salary with Ederson’s entourage before moving forward fully on club-to-club talks.

This is particularly interesting as Atlético Madrid had already managed to do this months earlier, before talks stalled elsewhere.

Recent reports in Spain It was claimed that Ederson rejected approaches from Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United as he preferred a move to the Metropolitano. But Atletico’s inability to complete a deal with Atalanta has changed the mood of the situation.

The Old Trafford club is also rising from a position of need. Casemiro is expected to leave this summer, while Manuel Ugarte’s future still looks uncertain. So Michael Carrick wants midfield reinforcements and Ederson fits the profile that United have been lacking for some time.

As we covered recently, Ederson is now confident and love to go to old trafford.

what happens next

The next step now seems quite clear. Manchester United want to secure personal terms before making a decisive move towards the valuation of Atalanta.

Atletico Madrid are still there, but the dynamic has changed. Arsenal and Newcastle United continue to loom in the background, although neither have stepped up the pace recently.

After tracking Ederson for over 18 months, United are now determined to ensure they are the club that ultimately secures a deal.

Manchester United to pass newcastle unitedSandro Tonali is on his target list for the summer.

The midfielder’s future remains uncertain after this season and is already attracting interest from England and beyond. Manchester United belongs to the former category.

For much of this season, the Italian media have regularly discussed the possibility of a move back to Serie A for the former AC Milan star. However, Newcastle United’s demands have been an issue for its supporters such as Juventus.

Two months ago, Tonali’s agent giuseppe risso said Possible steps can be taken after the World Cup. At the end of that month, we broadcast news His team is working on finding a new club in the Premier League.

On 27 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Italy That Manchester United has already taken a step.

Manchester United ready to move on

The Newcastle United star turns 26 today TuttoMercatoWeb There is a recent report on his future. It’s worth noting that, like others in Italy, TMW speaks to Tonali’s agent regularly.

Juventus are chasing the Italy international and are dreaming of securing his services. However, the fee required to convince Eddie Howe’s side is ‘completely out of their budget’.

The Magpies now sit 13th in the table, six points behind seventh-placed Brentford and are likely to miss out on Europe.

Sandro Tonali is one of their prized assets and is valued at €100m. In fact, it is ‘pointless’ to start negotiations on a fixed fee below €80m.

Manchester United, for its part, is ‘Had already informed that they are ready to submit a suitable proposal.’ It is unclear whether the Old Trafford club informed his agent or Newcastle United, but that seems more likely.

Tonali earns €8 million net plus bonuses per year, another factor that puts him beyond Juventus’ reach.

Manchester United prioritize midfield improvements

The Red Devils have qualified for the Champions League and need a bigger squad next season.

Casemiro will leave Old Trafford after this season and Manuel Ugarte could also be on his way.

Both of these situations, coupled with the return to Europe, will force Manchester United to bring in further reinforcements, especially in midfield. Tonali could be a quality addition while they are also focusing on other goals.

Manchester CityNathan Ake has not featured regularly for the Premier League team this season.

The Netherlands international has played 1,445 minutes in 29 matches, including only four league starts.

His limited role at Manchester City encouraged him to leave the Etihad in the winter market.

In December, witness the game Covered claims from Spain The centre-back has offers from unnamed Premier League sides for January and Barcelona were also involved.

A move never materialized but the La Liga winners kept it on their agenda.

Barcelona is not leaving Manchester City player

This is as of Friday’s edition sports worldAnd their headline said ‘Barca have not ruled out centre-back Nathan Ake.’

The Spanish giants are looking to improve the centre-back and striker positions in the next window and have already identified targets for both positions.

Ake is on their list of defensive targets as his name is still on the table at Camp Nou.

The 31-year-old is keen to leave Manchester City after this season, which should please his fans.

Sources have told the newspaper that Barcelona have identified the defender as a ‘low-cost option’.

His profile is in line with what the Spanish giants are looking for in a centre-back.

The problem for the Catalan club is that when it comes to their ‘direct rival’ Manchester City is unwilling to compromise and will not offer a discount. The Etihad club sees Barcelona as Champions League rivals.

Nathan Ake’s high salary and Pep Guardiola’s side looking to create a bidding war to earn him as much as possible is also a matter of concern for Barcelona.

As for Hansi Flick’s side, the Dutchman is attracting interest from unnamed Premier League clubs, AS Roma and Juventus. Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Solid interest from the Serie A pair.

Contract, price and agent information

The player’s contract expires in 2027, and he is worth €15m transfer market.

Agency The.Team is managing the Manchester City defender, who arrived at the Etihad from AFC Bournemouth in August 2020.

Manchester City There is interest in Lille star Matias Fernandez Pardo after his impressive season in Ligue 1.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Manchester City There could be competition from Inter Milan for the 21-year-old in the summer transfer window.

manchester city interest

Matias Fernandez Pard is having the best year of his career so far. He was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season thanks to eight goals and five assists and was also a regular in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old player is also being seriously considered by Spain, who want to pounce on him ahead of other countries.

Cesc Fabregas’ Como are interested in him and have been eyeing a deal for some time. His versatility to play as a winger, false nine or even as a second striker has made him a perfect fit for Fàbregas’ fluid style.

But he has also attracted the attention of big clubs. Manchester City, ‘always keen for talent’, already have him in their sights. Inter Milan are also aware of him as they look to strengthen after their title success.

There is no mention of any of those three parties doing anything other than watching the player’s performance at this time.

€30m valuation

There is also no mention of the asking price. Matias Fernandez Pardo cost Lille €11.5m in 2024 but is currently valued at €30m. His current deal also runs until 2029, so the French side are under no pressure on that front either.

Of course, €30m would be no big deal for Manchester City. This is a fee that they can spend without worrying too much. And they could be looking for a forward this summer if players like Omar Marmoush leave.

There is also Jack Grealish to consider. Fernandez Pardo could be an ideal additional player if he does not return as expected. For now, it appears he is just a name on the list to keep an eye on.

Manchester United Youth product Alvaro Carreras, now at Real Madrid, appears to have suffered from bullying at Real Madrid.

sports world report More on this topic and how Real Madrid teammates were forced to intervene in an incident with Antonio Rudiger.

From Manchester United to Real Madrid

Alvaro Carreras joined Real Madrid in a €50m deal last summer after impressing at Benfica. The Manchester United youth product was on loan with the Portuguese club until 2024.

He established himself at the club, helping him make the move permanent in 2024. A year later, Real Madrid came calling to sign the full-back. He was a product of his own youth before moving to Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old has been a regular this season, but it seems he is not making friends behind the scenes.

Releasing information from El Chiringuito, Mundo reported that Rudiger had tackled the full-back in an incident two weeks earlier. The German player had also slapped the youngster in a dressing room incident in February. Carreras also acknowledged this, calling it an “isolated incident.”

Rudiger incidents

However, El Chiringuito reports that a similar incident occurred just 15 days earlier.

“Two weeks ago, not in the locker room, but on the training pitch, Rüdiger confronted Carreras again. His teammates had to intervene to separate them,” Journalist Marcos Benito explained.

“He also asked him to apologise, as his behavior towards the 23-year-old player was getting out of control. His teammates had to step in to stop the German.

“I don’t know what relationship Rüdiger has with Carreras (or) what he has done to him. I don’t know if there is some misunderstanding between them, if they don’t get along, but it was not just the February incident with aggression; two weeks ago, he confronted him again.”

The incidents indicate growing problems for the former Manchester United man, who appears to be suffering bullying at the hands of Rudiger.

This is another sign of the problems at Real Madrid, where the player’s strength now appears to be out of control. Perhaps that’s why reports are linking him with a move to the likes of Jose Mourinho, a manager who will certainly ruffle feathers.

swansea city Even ahead of Aston Villa or Manchester United, AIK are keen to bring football talent Kevin Field to the Championship.

The 17-year-old player came through the ranks of the Swedish club’s academy and was promoted to the first team in 2025. He had a short loan spell at Enkopings SK in the first half of last year.

Since returning from loan, the striker has scored two goals in nine appearances in 2025. This year, he has one goal in 336 minutes in nine matches.

His statistics are still not that impressive but have nevertheless attracted the attention of Swansea City and other UK clubs.

In November, witness the game Covered claims from Sweden Aston Villa about to join Manchester United in the transfer chase. At the end of that month, we broadcast news The Red Devils’ first contact over a potential deal.

That time, the player said He was not aware of these transfer links and was not thinking of a move.

Swansea City keen on youngsters

Fast forward to May and Sportbladet, relayed by football transfersReport on Swansea City’s interest in Kevin Fielding.

The outlet has reiterated interest from Manchester United, Aston Villa and RB Leipzig and cited Newcastle United from the UK as a suitor. Sturm Graz was the club applying the most pressure in the last window.

However, AIK Fotboll did not consider offers for the Sweden U19 international in the winter market.

Since then, Vitor Matos’ side have emerged as contenders. The Welsh club have shown ‘concrete interest’ in the attacker, so much so that they have submitted an offer of SK 25m, which comes out to around €2.3m.

Swansea City sent this offer several weeks ago and AIK Football had already rejected it. Sportbladet has no information on whether the Swans will come back with an improved bid.

Our opinion: Swansea City are in no rush

Vitor Matos has already indicated Zane Vipotnik could leave Swansea City after this season.

In that case, the Championship side will need a new striker and have identified targets. Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news Toulouse FC’s Franck Magri as a substitute.

Kevin Fielding may not be an option at the start of next season as he is not eligible to move to the UK in the summer.

The Swedish citizen will turn 18 in November, which means he will have to wait until next January if he wants to move to the UK.

Manchester United Also on his agenda for the summer is Elche CF’s David Affengruber.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Manchester United is preparing to sign him.

After a three-year spell with Austrian side Sturm Graz, the centre-back joins the La Liga side on a free transfer in 2024.

He made 40 appearances in his debut season and has played 2,736 minutes in 35 matches so far this season.

The defender’s La Liga statistics per game are as follows:

• Appearances: 32
• Minutes per game: 81
• Interception: 1.4
• Tackle: 2.1
• Recovery: 4.3
• Approval: 4.9
• Blocked Shots: 0.7
• Duel won: 5.0

The Austria international is attracting interest from some clubs in Spain and across Europe.

There is a tussle for signatures at Manchester United

Sports stadium Mention the Premier League side when covering the latest on David Affengruber’s pursuit of Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine have joined the campaign and are seriously considering signing the 25-year-old. It will not be easy as other clubs are showing interest in him.

His impressive performances have put him on the radar of top clubs. Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Real Betis have all ‘highlighted’ his name.

There is a ‘fierce battle going on’ to secure the services of the Austrian and Elche are ready to sell him after this season.

The player’s contract expires in 2027, and includes a €20m release clause, which is economical for the Old Trafford club.

Elche could use this as a starting point, especially if there are attractive offers from the Premier League and Bundesliga.

If this happens, it will be difficult for the Spanish club to compete. Villarreal is not the favorite right now but has no intention of abandoning the operation.

Sources close to the player told Estadio that he has not yet made a decision on his future, but that his priority is to remain in Spain. This could benefit their La Liga supporters, including Villarreal.

Manchester United must be confident

For now, David Affengruber’s name has been underlined by Michael Carrick’s side, and there is no word if further progress will be made to sign him in the summer.

If Manchester United decide to make a move, they will first have to convince the Austrian to switch to the Premier League as he prefers to remain in Spain.

transfer market The Elche player is valued at €9m, the highest price so far in his career.

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

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

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

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

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

Lyon know they have a valuable asset

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

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

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

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

Sporting wait in the background

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

Manchester United Midfielder Casemiro has generally responded directly to criticism from Jamie Carragher. And liverpool Ultimately he was also included in the conversation.

Carragher questioned Casemiro’s level early this season, particularly during periods when the midfielder lost his place and looked physically weak. At the time, many people wondered whether Manchester United was taking on a declining player on a huge salary.

A few months later, the mood looks very different.

Casemiro fought his way back into the team, becoming important again, scoring goals and helping United out of difficult moments. so when tnt sports brazil After Carragher’s comments were brought up, the midfielder clearly had some fun with the reply.

Casemiro counter-attacks Carragher

“Everyone on television says anything. I’m not one to engage in them,” Casimiro said.

“But it’s a bit normal, because I won two Champions League titles on his team. Maybe there is some bitterness there after winning two titles against his club.”

The Manchester United midfielder paused. In fact, he credited Carragher with ultimately changing his stance.

“I respect his opinion. I hold no resentment. The important thing is that he recognized he was wrong and changed his opinion. That’s what matters most.”

Still, Casemiro clearly seems tired of the modern football cycle of outrage.

“Nowadays everyone has an opinion, everyone wants to go viral. Everyone thinks they know football, everyone thinks they’re a star, everyone thinks they understand everything. Today if you win, you’re the best and if you lose, you’re the worst. But football isn’t always like that.”

He also explained why he avoids social media completely.

“That’s why I don’t even have social media on my phone. Everyone wants attention now.”

Casemiro says return changed manager’s opinion

The Brazilian also revealed what he considers one of the biggest achievements of his career – changing Ruben Amorim’s mind.

At one point this year, Amorim did not trust him physically. Casemiro admitted that the manager had openly questioned whether he still had the required intensity.

Instead of accepting the situation and quietly moving towards the exit, the midfielder decided to fight back.

“One of the greatest achievements of my career was to come back and change a manager’s opinion,” He said.

“He said I didn’t have intensity. Then later he admitted he changed his opinion because of what he saw in training sessions and matches.”

Casemiro also admitted that many players would have been mentally tired in that situation.

“With all humility, the easiest thing would be to say: ‘The manager doesn’t want me? OK. I’ve already won everything, I’ve achieved enough, let it go.’ But no. I kept working. I kept trying to show the manager that he was wrong about me.

Ultimately that persistence bore fruit.

“I managed to change their opinion. I started playing again and had a great end to the season.”

Strong support for Michael Carrick

Casemiro also used the interview to strongly endorse Carrick’s work at Manchester United.

The Brazilian repeatedly praised the interim manager and made it clear that he believes Carrick should stay long-term.

“He came in as interim manager, but he handled the difficult matches very well,” Casimiro explained. “He knows the club, he understands what Manchester United is. He has class. He has the currency of a Manchester United man.”

“For me, this guy has to stay at the club for more years because he deserves it. He deserves it so much.”

Casemiro even suggested that Carrick’s personality is evident behind the scenes.

“When you work with him every day, you look at him and think: ‘This guy deserves this.'”

Casemiro has already done Confirmed he will leave Manchester United At the end of the season. Yet just before walking away, he managed to craft one final comeback story, silencing some critics and taking a dig at Liverpool while doing so.

Manchester United Midfielder Casemiro has now put to rest any doubts about his future, confirming in his own words that his time at Old Trafford is coming to an end.

Casemiro arrives at Manchester United in 2022 after a trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid. He soon became a leader in midfield and helped bring silverware back to Old Trafford by winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

Speaking in an extensive interview with espn brazilCasemiro made it clear there will be no extension At Manchester United.

“I don’t think there’s any chance of staying another year, no possibility. The idea is to go out the front door. It’s been four beautiful, wonderful years, and I’m grateful not only to the club, but also to the fans. If there’s one thing I’ll take with me from these four years, it’s the fans. But no, I think it’s over. My cycle here is over.” He said.

A few moments later, he reiterated that decision and explained that he now sees it as the right time to move on.

“I’m moving into a new phase of my career. I still have to decide where I’ll go, but I want to go well, go happily. I will always be a United supporter here in England and I can only thank the fans for their affection.” He added.

four years in manchester

His time at the club was not straightforward. Injuries and tactical changes diminished his influence at some points. In early 2025, he also lost his place under Ruben Amorim. Yet he responded as would be expected from a player of his level.

Casemiro worked hard to return to the team and performed strongly. He played a key role in the final stages of the season, including an appearance in the Europa League Final, and reminded many of his importance. That reaction is something he views as one of his greatest personal accomplishments.

“I kept working, I kept trying to show the manager he was wrong about me. I could have accepted it and moved on, but I didn’t. I worked to change his mind and I managed to do that. That might be one of my greatest accomplishments.” he explained.

a goal scoring farewell

That’s also reflected in the strong closing numbers. Casemiro is enjoying the best scoring season of his career, with nine goals so far. He has also stayed away from injuries since 2023, which has helped him maintain consistency and rhythm.

Still, he remains clear about his priorities on the field.

“My son asks me: ‘Dad, are you going to score today?’ I tell him I’m a defensive midfielder. The first job is to defend, to help the centre-backs, full-backs, midfielders. If I can score then it’s a bonus. But first comes the defensive work and giving balance to the team.” He said.

He also pointed to the collective effort behind those contributions.

“It all depends on the team. People see the last touch, the goals, the defending, but everything starts somewhere else. In attack, it starts with the goalkeeper. In defence, it starts with the striker. Even if I score, it is the team’s job.” He added.

Emotional farewell and mentality till the end

As his Manchester United chapter comes to a close, Casemiro acknowledged the emotional significance of the moment. Leaving a club is something he has experienced before, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

“You have to get through the front door. It’s always something I’ve tried to do at every club. It’s emotional. With every game, you feel it more. You have that feeling in your chest, but it’s been beautiful. The matches, the training, the daily work – it’s been a really good story, especially this end,” He reflected.

He went even further in describing how he was experiencing these final moments.

“It’s almost too perfect, this exit. I’m enjoying it a lot. I’m really enjoying what I’m living at a big club like United.” He added.

Despite knowing he would be leaving, his competitive mindset hasn’t changed.

“I’ve always been like that and I think I’ll always be like that. Whether it’s one minute or ninety minutes, every day when I go to bed I want to feel like I gave everything. We all know I’m going, we know the World Cup is coming, but that’s who I am – giving everything on the field, even when I can’t give anything else.” He said.

The decision has now shifted to the next destination

Casemiro also made it clear that his next move will be carefully decided, with his family playing a key role in the process. As we recently coveredMLS could be his destination.

“The priority is to talk to my family and see what they want. When I decided to come to Manchester United, they were the first to support me. They always say they will be happy wherever we go, but now this decision is very important and I need to make it together with them.” he explained.

He stressed the importance of that option.

“This is a very important decision for me now. I still need to analyze everything carefully.” He added.

Also, he highlighted the positive moment he is experiencing.

“Things are going really well for me. It was a great end to the season and a great season overall.” He said.

The situation is now completely defined. This comes straight from the player himself, closing a four-year chapter and opening the door to the next phase of his career.

Manchester United And Paris Saint-Germain are pursuing FC Nordsjælland’s Prince Amoako Jr. ahead of the summer.

The Ghanaian moved to Europe in February 2025 when the Danish club signed him from the Right to Dream Academy.

His development in Nordsjælland has been noticed by several European clubs, including Manchester United and PSG.

Manchester United and PSG keen

from ghana myjoy online Report on the Red Devils and Ligue 1 winners’ interest in Prince Amoako Jr.

Brighton & Hove Albion, SC Freiburg, Feyenoord, AFC Bournemouth, RB Leipzig, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund get mentions. Apart from these, unnamed clubs from Serie A and La Liga are also in the mix.

Despite this, the headline of the report states that Manchester United and PSG are the frontrunners and the report states that both clubs have ‘expressed strong interest’ in the 19-year-old.

It is unclear whether Michael Carrick’s side have registered a strong interest with his club, FC Nordsjælland or both. Either way, there could be a potential battle between the Old Trafford club and PSG for the signature of the young player.

Manchester United, PSG or any other interested party would have shelled out €27-32m for a potential deal in the summer.

options for manchester united

Michael Carrick is using Matheus Cunha as his first-choice left-back and has also used Patrick Dorgu in the same position.

Marcus Rashford could return to Barcelona after his loan spell, but the English club are likely to sell him in the summer. Aston Villa could be an option For Rashford if the La Liga winners decide not to invoke the €30m clause.

Manchester United have no recognized backup for the Brazilian. After qualifying for the Champions League, the Red Devils need more options in attack.

Prince Amoako Jr. could be an option but it is unclear whether they would be willing to spend at least €27m.

CAA represent the Stellar Ghanian and also manage Manchester United’s Kobi Manu
And Luke Shaw.

Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Alfonso Moreira after the winger’s exceptional performances for Olympique Lyonnais this season have made him one of the more talked-about young players in Europe.

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals and provided 11 assists throughout the campaign. Those returns have been instrumental in pushing Lyon towards Champions League qualification, with the club now sitting in a direct qualification place for the first time since 2019/20.

Moreira’s influence has been steady rather than sporadic. He continues to influence games at the start and from the bench, often making the difference in difficult moments.

He arrived from Sporting CP at the start of the season for just €2m (£1.7m). Since then, their growth has been rapid. Lyon are already discussing a contract adjustment, even though his current deal runs until 2030. His salary is one of the lowest in the team, which no longer reflects his role.

Building interest across Europe

That growth has naturally attracted attention. According to Portuguese outlet to ballManchester United is one of the clubs that has already checked on the player.

Serie A and Bundesliga teams are also closely monitoring his progress as they look for attacking reinforcements ahead of next season.

For United, the timing is relevant. The club is preparing for changes in the summer, especially in the advanced areas. Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee have all been linked with a possible exit.

All three act in similar roles to Moreira. Therefore, any departure could open up both squad space and financial room for a move.

Sporting clause and rising valuation

The emergence of Afonso Moreira has also brought benefits for Sporting CP. The Portuguese club secured 20% of any future profit from selling him.

His market value is currently around €10m (£8.7m), which represents a sharp rise from his initial fee. However, much higher demand is expected if Lyon considers a sale in the short term.

For example, a transfer worth €20m (£17.4m) would generate around €3.6m (£3.1m) for Sporting. This segment ensures that they remain invested in its trajectory.

what happens next

Afonso Moreira has shown that he can operate in a variety of tactical roles. Under manager Paulo Fonseca, he has also covered the entire flank in a back-three system.

Their success has also been helped by injuries to players like Malik Fofana and Ernest Nuamah. Nevertheless, he has persevered with that opportunity and made it hard for himself to leave.

For Manchester United, the next step depends on outgoings and priorities. They are clearly assessing a wider range of options, and Moreira has come up on that list.

Lyon are in control due to his long contract. If they secure Champions League football, their position will be further strengthened.

England’s interest is expected to continue. The coming months will reveal whether this turns out to be a concrete move or remains at the scouting level.

Joshua Zirkzee’s wages Manchester United Despite being on target for a long time, the injury remains a problem for Napoli.

Corriere del Mezzogiorno Report Zirkzee’s current wage packet of €4.3m a year ‘could tempt Napoli to look elsewhere’ this summer.

napoli wants a new striker

The newspaper reports that Napoli are looking for a replacement for Rasmus Hjolund, who would be signed on a permanent basis in the summer.

Romelu Lukaku is currently an alternative option but is expected to leave in the summer. The Belgian has fallen out with those in charge at the club after choosing to remain in Belgium for injury treatment against Napoli’s wishes.

This spoiled their relations, they were already in trouble in the media. Sporting director Giovanni Manna is already targeting a replacement.

A list has been drawn up and Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is on it. The Dutchman is a long-term target for those in charge in Naples.

However, his €4.3m salary is a problem. Indeed, the newspaper says it is an issue that may suggest Napoli could look elsewhere for a lower-cost deal instead. Brighton’s Ivan Ferguson is also on their list.

Listen to Manchester United offer

This has become clear from recent reports Manchester United will listen to offers However, for Joshua Zirkzee this summer.

Perhaps if there is an opportunity to save money on that front, Napoli will be able to get a deal done with the striker over the line. Even in that scenario, it seems they need the 24-year-old to contribute.

Corriere del Mezzogiorno has not clarified by how much he needs to reduce his salary. But any real possibility of a transfer happening this summer is likely to cost a significant amount. It seems the ball is completely in the Dutchman’s court.

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.

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

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

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

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

Murtaugh can order transfer

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester United We’ve seen Antony explain his move to Real Betis more than once – and he’s not really changing the script.

The Brazilian is still performing strongly in Spain, with 13 goals and nine assists in 41 appearances this season. That output has helped him restore confidence after a difficult spell at Old Trafford, where things never went consistently well.

Recently he revealed about going to Real Betis “One of the best decisions of his life”. Now, in another interview globo esporteAntony has gone back to the same topics again. This time, he added a little more detail about what went wrong during his Manchester United tenure.

Antony again points to off-pitch issues

Antony emphasizes his struggles in England weren’t about football ability.

“The off-pitch part affects a lot. I had some problems outside football that affected me. It was a complicated moment, but it brought learning and maturity.” He said.

“It was in those difficult moments that I stopped, reflected and began to value the simple things. It was a difficult period behind the scenes, which very few people know about, but it made me realize that I needed to find myself and be good for things to flow.”

He made it clear that he has no regrets about joining Manchester United.

“I don’t forget playing football. I don’t regret going to Manchester. I’m grateful to the club. I learned a lot there.” Antony added.

Betis is still the turning point

Antony once again described His move to Real Betis As an important moment.

“It was very important for me. This is where I found myself. This is where I found myself and could become very happy in a short period of time.” he explained.

“Even before I arrived on loan, I was already mentally preparing, because I knew I had a short time and I could make a difference.”

He also spoke about how quickly things changed after leaving Manchester United.

“I was called again [by the national team] Immediately after arriving at Betis, which was very important for me. It was emotional because of the change. I was playing very little in England, not feeling good or happy and then I came here and helped the team, became one of the great players.

“Today I feel much more prepared, more mature. I’m living my best moments on and off the field with my family.”

Cristiano Ronaldo story adds fresh details

Antony at least offered something new as he shared more details about his time with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

“Cristiano is a great person. You learn a lot from him.” He said. “He once joked to me that people think he’s arrogant, but in daily life he’s very playful.”

“We used to sit at the table and he would talk about life, books and many other topics besides football. It was good because it helped us to differentiate. He would say: ‘Today we will not talk about football.’

There were light moments behind the scenes too.

“Once in the sauna he joked with me, showed me his body and asked if he looked 23 years old. I was embarrassed too, because you see the level of care he takes even at the age of almost 40. He is a reference for everyone.”

The magic of Man United still sets the tone

Antony keeps telling the same story, just with slightly different details each time. He clearly does not view Manchester United with despair, but it does not seem so either someone who remembers it. Meanwhile, United have also moved on.

Nevertheless, his form at Betis underlines that he is a player there. A reminder that context and environment can shape outcomes just as much as ability.

Manchester United AC Milan target Rafael Leao has deleted his social media after receiving backlash from fans.

o jogo aaj report on winger Because he is considering taking his career in a different direction next season.

fan criticism

The newspaper reports that Rafael Leao has managed only one goal and one assist in the last seven matches and has been criticized by his own fans.

This is pushing his departure this summer. The criticism and grief has reached such an extent that the 26-year-old has decided to deactivate her Instagram.

The decision came after a flood of critical comments regarding his performance in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Juventus. The winger has been going through a barren phase and is often being criticized by his own fans.

This is strengthening the arguments for him leaving at the end of the season. Reports have continuously linked him to several football legends.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City have all been credited with interest. Sport Witness covered a report from Jorge Mendes today There could be a move to Old Trafford for the winger this summer. Manchester United had reportedly initiated contacts about a move.

There is a possibility of transfer

Milan, for their part, would be willing to make a deal worth around €50-70m, with each report having a different figure. It is unclear whether Manchester United or any other English club will pay that amount.

But all indications are that Rafael Leao is headed for the exit. He continues to face criticism from Milan fans, who are not impressed with his current performances.

In fact, the criticism has reached such an extent that Forward has now started deleting its social media. That’s never a good sign, especially with transfer rumors flying around.

Manchester United definitely have an opportunity in front of them and Leao is preparing at the grassroots level.

A fan who racially abused of manchester united Marcus Rashford has been sentenced to nine months in prison at Barcelona.

sports world report A fan who shouted ‘racist insults’ at Rashford has been sentenced by the Provincial Court of Oviedo.

Marcus Rashford’s misbehavior leads to punishment

The newspaper reports that the court handed down its sentence on Wednesday against a man accused of racist insults at the Manchester United forward.

The matter came to light following a complaint filed by La Liga. The defendant has been convicted of the crime of ‘outraging the dignity of persons’ for racist reasons. He was sentenced to the following punishment:

• nine months in jail
• Fined for six months at a daily rate of €5.
• Special disqualification from any profession or occupation relating to education, sports and leisure activities for a period of three years and nine months.
• Ban on entry into football stadiums at any level for a period of three years.

La Liga gets tough on racism

Mundo Deportivo reports that this is the eleventh decision La Liga has received in the fight against racism.

The Spanish league is keen to continue reaffirming its ‘commitment and leadership’ against racism. They have been emphasizing awareness-raising, detection, and legal action since 2020.

The newspaper says they have become a ‘leading organisation’ against racism and hatred both inside and outside the stadium. This is despite the lack of authority to sanction clubs, fans, coaches or players for such conduct.

The conviction over the abuse of the Manchester United forward is being seen as another achievement in his fight against racism.

The 28-year-old joined Barcelona in the summer and has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists in 45 games in all competitions for the Catalan giants this season. The deal includes an option to buy in the summer transfer window, which Marcus Rashford would prefer.

Manchester United The foundations for a deal involving Rafael Leao have been laid and a player could also be included in the move.

The Portuguese attacker has not had a great season under Max Allegri. He has nine goals and three assists but more is expected of him at the Rossoneri, especially given his reputation.

His relationship with Allegri has seen its ups and downs and muscular injuries have also held the player back.

As doubts grow over Leao’s situation, Manchester United is increasingly emerging as a potential destination.

Milan considering sale

transfer market Let’s make it clear that Milan have closed Leo’s exit door many times before. Now, things are different and they would accept €50m to sell him.

He has spoken to Jorge Mendes about potentially finding a boyfriend and Manchester United have made an initial enquiry. The contact has been described as unofficial, as the Red Devils merely sought to understand more about the player’s transfer situation.

It is believed that Michael Carrick’s side could also introduce Joshua Zirkzee as part of the move. The Dutchman has been pursued by the Rossoneri and is now likely to end up at San Siro.

Manchester United are being seen as one of the possible candidates to sign Leao. Contract negotiations for the Portugal international are at a standstill, with the player looking to evaluate all offers before making a final decision on his future.

gazzetta dello sport Add more to the landscape. They confirm the possibility of Zirkzee being added to the deal. It is also hinted that the mediators are trying to help Leo get to England.

As a result, there will be discussions between Manchester United and Milan at the end of the season.

Our opinion: It is wise to contact Manchester United

A fee of €50m is a potential deal for a player of Rafael Leao’s usual quality.

Granted, he has been inconsistent throughout the campaign but Allegri’s system hasn’t helped him either. Often, the 26-year-old looks underserved.

Manchester United lacks players who can operate on the left and cut inside. Matheus Cunha feels like a player who is better suited centrally and Patrick Dorgu is versatile enough to play other roles. The lack of width has been a frequent theme at Old Trafford in recent weeks.

Leo could be the one to change that. He is at the right age and needs a club where he can really prove himself again.

Manchester United And liverpool Juventus’ signing Francisco Conceicao has been added to their agenda for the summer.

His performances for the Serie A team have drawn attention from both Manchester United and Liverpool.

After scoring 11 goals and 13 assists in 93 matches for the Dragons, Juve signed the winger from FC Porto in July 2025 for €32m.

Since moving to Italy, he has scored four goals and provided four assists in 38 appearances.

His Serie A statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 23
• Total minutes: 1,796
• Target: 3
• Assist: 4
• Expected target: 5.91
• Expected Support: 4.01
• Key passes per game: 1.1
• Shots on goal per game: 0.7
• Big chances made: 4
• Big chances missed: 8

On March 27, Khel Witness Covered claims from Italy Making the Reds’ first contact on the right wing. Arne Slot’s side are looking for a right winger to replace Mohamed Salah, who will leave Anfield after this season.

Manchester United and Liverpool in the mix

gazzetta dello sport Let’s just say he has attracted the attention of Liverpool and the Red Devils, even if his goal and assist numbers are not that impressive.

The Merseyside club see the Portugal international’s profile as similar to that of Mohamed Salah.

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti has previously managed the Egyptian at AS Roma. On the tension between the Liverpool star and Francisco Conceição, he said: “The comparison is apt.”

“He’s a young boy, he’s still got a lot of experience to gain, he needs to convince himself that he can play a bit inside, and having a man behind him shouldn’t worry him. If he gets the ball outside and faces you, though, he goes unmarked.”

“He needs to improve the quality of his shot, because Salah is top notch, but Conceicao has such intensity and toughness in one-on-one situations that it becomes really difficult to keep up with him.”

Manchester United have now joined Liverpool in the race for the current Juve attacker. The Old Trafford club move up to third, 11 points ahead of sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion after a 2-1 win over Brentford.

Michael Carrick’s side are likely to return to the Champions League and hope to improve their attack. Gazzetta says the 23-year-old could be an option.

Juventus still have a €25.6m fee to amortise. Therefore, the Old Lady will not start any negotiations below the ‘current budget’ of €25.6m.

Gazzetta believes a fee of around €45-50m is needed to convince Juve and that fee could rise if he is to shine at the World Cup.

Contract, price and agent information

Francisco Conceição’s contract expires in 2030, and transfer market He is worth €30 million.

The agency Gestifute, headed by super-agent Jorge Mendes, is representing him. The agent has good relations with both Manchester United and Liverpool.

Ajax star Mika Godts should be wary of a potential move Manchester CityBecause he is unable to overtake Jeremy Doku in the pecking order.

This is the advice of journalist Valentijn Driessen, via fc update. He believes the highly-rated 20-year-old should look elsewhere this summer.

Growing transfer interest

Mike Godts is set for a big-money move from Ajax this summer after establishing himself as one of the rising youngsters in Europe.

The 20-year-old has scored 16 goals and 13 assists in 39 games for Ajax this season, including a spectacular solo goal in the 2-0 win over NAC Breda last weekend. Overall, the youngster has scored 24 goals and 23 assists in 106 games for the Dutch giants since his debut.

He is seen as the star of tomorrow, and the Premier League is already making the rounds. Sport Witness today covered a report that Arsenal and Chelsea Scouts were sent to watch the winger in action. The Gunners are long-term fans.

Reports in England have also linked Manchester City with a possible move. Manchester United have also been said to make a move for him this summer.

manchester city advice

However, it seems that Valentin Driessen is worried about the youngster joining a big club. In particular, he believes Manchester City would be a bad idea at this time.

“He just proves that he has transcended the Eredivisie,” he said on the Kick-Off Podcast.

“Against clubs like Telstar and NAC, you can certainly excel even as an Ajax player, but Ajax are not outstanding at all. And he stands head and shoulders above them.

“The connection between Jordi Cruijff and Pep Guardiola is clearly visible. And Manchester City is certainly a club that can pay thirty, forty or fifty million. But I don’t think he is better than Doku.”

Indeed, the Dutch journalist believes that Godts should look at his current situation in the Belgian national team. He believes this will give him an example of life at Manchester City.

“They are both Belgians. And Doku is also higher up the pecking order in the national team, while Godts should be happy if he is in the team as well,” He added.

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is now pushing for a sale

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

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

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

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

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

An environment of competition is being created across Europe

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

Bahia’s rising star Del could reach the end Manchester City In the near future.

Manchester City’s owners City Football Group are the majority shareholders of the Brazilian club.

Apart from these two clubs, CFG have several other clubs at their disposal and can use this to help the 17-year-old player continue his development.

The striker came through Bahia’s youth system and forced his way into the first team last year. he’s only made a handful [16] In his appearances so far, he has scored four goals.

Their Campeonato Baiano and league statistics this year are as follows:

• Appearances: 13
• Total minutes: 594
• Target: 4
• Help: 0

Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Brazil Manchester United’s interest in youth. The same source said the Red Devils had sent a scout to monitor him.

Manchester City is part of the long-term plan

As Now we have a report on what the future holds for Dell in the short and medium term.

Bahia manager Rogerio Ceni is pleased with the Brazil U17 international’s development so far.

“He’s only 17, but he’s a kid who’s working incredibly hard. That’s life; it’s all about decisions. We all have a tactical role on the field. He’s living up to expectations,” He said.

“He is demonstrating the physical intensity required to play and he is an agile player. And if another striker comes in, he will continue to play because he has earned it. I am very happy for him.”

After relaying the manager’s comments, AS focuses on CFG’s plans for the striker. Their headline says: ‘Brazilian Holland’ puts the city in doubt.’

He will turn 18 in June, making him eligible to transfer to Europe.

CFG is looking at Dell’s potential and performance to evaluate next steps for its future. Their plan is to send him to other clubs in Europe, Troyes, Verona or Lomel SK, owned by Manchester City owners.

The move to La Liga remains complicated. Troyes will be an option in the event of their promotion while Lomel will be considered for a transfer if they avoid relegation.

CFG plan to send the young striker to a club from their stable to closely monitor his development. AS say that if all goes well, their plan is to ‘eventually bring him to Manchester City.’

If the player joins one of the European clubs owned by CFG, it will be relatively easy for Pep Guardiola’s team to secure his services in the future.

Contract, price and agent information

Dell’s contract expires in December 2028 and AS says it includes a €100m release clause transfer market He is worth €4 million.

Brazilian agency Bertolucci Sports, owned by agent Giuliano Bertolucci, is representing the Bahia star.

of manchester united The need to sign a midfielder is well known, with the Red Devils reportedly pushing for the signing of Sandro Tonali.

sports witness Newcastle United have regularly covered the Italian media’s interest in the player. He has often put forward Juventus as a destination, even though the Old Lady never had the financial strength to push for a deal.

Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Risso made it clear That he would be interested in living in England. This ruled out any possibility of the Italy international returning to Serie A in the near future.

Arsenal and Manchester City were previously linked with Tonali, it is Manchester United who are moving forward with a move.

The magpie is being forced out

alljuve Report on Newcastle United’s desperate need to make money in the summer. They had qualified for Europe last year but still had work to do on their accounts.

Things will be less comfortable this summer and a major sale will likely be required. Tonali is one of the contenders to leave, with Eddie Howe’s side demanding €100m to let him leave at the end of the campaign.

Manchester United have ‘already made their move’ for the 25-year-old, who is seen as first choice to improve their midfield. Tonali is considered the perfect replacement for Casemiro but the Red Devils would have to pay around €100m.

Competition from Manchester City could be a threat, with Atalanta’s Ederson seen as an option.

Our Opinion: It won’t be an easy chase for Tonali

While Manchester United are in line for Champions League qualification, Tonali will be difficult to chase. English clubs are becoming increasingly alert to his situation, which will only help Newcastle United increase their asking price.

Tonali’s squad are pushing the idea of ​​a summer transfer. There is every possibility that Michael Carrick’s team could be used for this, especially with Manchester City and Arsenal having a strong Italian presence in their squads.

In addition, Manchester United needs several midfielders next season. That’s why spending everything on one player may not be a good idea.

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester City transfer possibility

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contracts, stats and prices

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

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

Manchester City Star Bernardo Silva has announced his decision to leave the Etihad when his contract expires in June.

The Premier League side will need to bring in a replacement for the 31-year-old in the summer.

Recent claims have pegged Verona’s Azzedine Onahi as an option for Manchester City.

Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Explaining why the 26-year-old could be a good candidate to replace Silva.

He spent almost two months of this season on the sidelines due to a calf injury. The Morocco international has scored five goals and provided three assists in 19 appearances so far.

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 19
• Start: 15
• Total minutes: 1,346
• Minutes per game: 71
• Target: 5
• Assist: 3
• Expected target: 2.76
• Expected Support: 2.86
• Big chances created: 7
• Goal conversion: 13%

Manchester City’s concern for Verona

Monday edition of game Azzedine looks at the possibility of Onahi leaving the Catalan club for the Citizens and what it could mean for the former.

City Football Group, the owner of Manchester City, is a co-owner of Verona. This, combined with the player’s €20m release clause, would make it easy for the English club to sign him.

Savinho spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Verona from Troyes, another club owned by City Football Group. His performances for the La Liga team led to his purchase by Manchester City in July 2024.

The Brazilian winger was a key member of the Verona team under manager Michel, but moved to England.

Game Status: ‘It seems that history is repeating itself at Montilivi: as it happened with Savinho, the great player of the Verona team is set to move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.’

Pep Guardiola’s side want to ‘repeat’ the plan they used to sign Onahi for Savinho, except in the early stages.

After struggles at both Marseille and Panathinaikos, the latter resumed his career at Verona. Manchester City are now looking for him to be part of their project next season.

Over the years, Mitchell has seen key players depart at the end of each season. The report states: ‘If the people at the Etihad see Unahi as the ideal replacement for Bernardo Silva, the room for maneuver for Verona will be minimal.’

Michel’s contract runs until June and the Moroccan’s potential sale to Manchester City could complicate his renewal.

Contract, price and agent information

Azzedine Onahi’s contract is until 2030, and transfer market He is valued at €10 million, which is half of his release clause.

Agency AS1 is representing the Verona star, and their client list includes players like Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz, Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and many more.

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

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

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

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

The scouting trip soon connected with the first target.

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

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

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

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

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

World Cup timing driving potential deal

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

of manchester united The decision to move Antony makes sense when you juxtapose it with what he is doing at Real Betis.

Brazil has quietly produced its most productive performance in years. In all competitions, he has 13 goals and nine assists in 40 games. In La Liga, this is limited to seven goals and five assists in 26 appearances.

The underlying numbers also support this. Antony averages 0.54 goal involvements per 90 minutes. He takes 3.08 shots per game and scores once every 9.71 attempts.

Furthermore, he makes 2.04 key passes per match and completes 81.61% of his 43 passes per game.

It’s a very different level of involvement compared to what we saw at Old Trafford. In Spain, his role is clearer and he is much more involved in the final third. real daughters His career and his mentality changed.

It all comes at a crucial moment. The announcement of Brazil’s World Cup squad is approaching and Antony is trying to get back into the picture.

Betis’ decision is shaping international expectations

Antony has now come out openly espn brazil Regarding both his club situation and his Brazilian ambitions. His current situation at Betis clearly plays a big role in that push.

“Staying at Betis was one of the best decisions of my life,” Antony added. “I am very happy. my family was overweight In the decision. It is important to see them happy.”

“When the family is okay it makes things lighter on the field.”He concluded.

He was part of the squad for the last World Cup under Tite, but has not been able to perform much under Carlo Ancelotti so far. Still, he’s not giving up on building the next one.

“My biggest dream is to play in the World Cup, but I have to do my part, my job, the national team is the result.” He said.

“I really want to come back, play my second World Cup. It’s my aim to always wear the national team shirt.”

life without antony

Antony seems to be someone who has settled in Spain and not a player looking back at Manchester United.

But he thinks the chances go both ways. United have moved on without him and given the way things have turned out, they hardly miss him. The team changed and Antony’s role was never fully fleshed out during his stay in England.

“His current stats highlight that there is still a player out there,” he said. At Betis, he looks more confident, more engaged and more decisive.

This is a case of a player who needed a different setting to bring out his best level. This time is ideal for Antony. He has given himself a real chance to get back into the Brazilian conversation when it matters most.

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.

Villarreal midfielder could be the ideal profile for Pep Gueye of manchester united The midfield, and his interest in it, is ‘no coincidence’.

Orgullo Biri covered the Villarreal midfielder today And explain why he is a perfect fit for Manchester United despite his €45m asking price.

Manchester United’s interest

A report from Spain in February insisted that Manchester United were in the mix for the Sevilla midfielder.

It added that the 27-year-old player has earned a lot of fans thanks to his performances this season. He put his name on the radar by scoring the winning goal in the Africa Cup of Nations final in January.

A report earlier this month then explained to him gua was learning english Ahead of the potential move. All indications were that he was open to a Premier League transfer.

Orgullo Biri has now reported that Manchester United have ‘showed intense interest’ in the midfielder. According to him his ‘physical attributes and sporting intelligence’ have been noted.

The website states that Gueye’s influence on Sevilla is ‘undeniable’. He wins back possession, breaks lines and provides balance in transitions. He is also the type of midfielder who ‘controls space and wins duels.’

According to him, those aspects are ‘worth their weight in gold’ in the Premier League. As a result, it is ‘no coincidence’ that Manchester United want him.

€45 million asking price

Are they willing to pay Villarreal’s €45m asking price? This is the value of the release clause that is currently written into his contract. He has no intention of moving from there. But sources inside the club say an offer close to this could convince them.

Orgullo Bieri argues that, for a Premier League team, this is a ‘manageable figure’. Villarreal sees it as a ‘strategic sale’. Reports have indicated that United would be prepared to make a significant financial effort.

As far as they are concerned, it brings a potential deal closer. Pep Gueye, on the other hand, knows he is at his peak and this could be his big opportunity to make the leap as a European giant.

Everything seems to be lined up. And as far as he is concerned in Spain, Manchester United could get ‘one of the biggest coups of the summer’ if they progress.

Summer transfer possibility

Yann Diomande has fans across Europe after a successful debut season in Germany with RB Leipzig.

The 19-year-old is one of the hottest transfer prospects of the summer and a long line of potential suitors awaits him. In fact, BILD say he is on the radar of ‘all the top European clubs’.

Leipzig want to keep him for at least one more season, unless they receive an ‘excessive’ offer they cannot refuse. However, some inside the club believe he will stay. He is seen as ‘too good’ to hold on.

His agency, RockNation, is already hard at work generating interest.

he saw them meeting with liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in early February. So far, no club has concretely expressed interest in Leipzig.

But that meeting with Liverpool puts them ahead of Manchester United for the time being.

According to BILD, a possible transfer to Old Trafford is on ice. The Red Devils are more focused on finding Casemiro’s successor than signing Diomonde.

Liverpool eye Salah’s replacement

It makes sense for Liverpool to be first in line for Yann Diomande, with Mohamed Salah set to depart this summer.

Meanwhile, Manchester United already have Brian Mbuemo and Amad on the right wing. Spending €100 million on another right winger when other areas of the team need attention would be foolish to say the least.

Perhaps this is the mindset at Old Trafford at the moment, which is why the track is now ‘cool’. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool take advantage of this.

Manchester City will sign a player who has ‘carried the team on his shoulders’ in Barcelona’s Azzedine Onahi.

Sports report on 26 year old player today And how he would be ideal for Manchester City as they look for a replacement for Bernardo Silva.

Manchester City Plan implemented

A report in Spain yesterday said Manchester City are eyeing a move for Azzedine Onahi as they plan for life after Bernardo Silva.

They could use their special relationship with Verona, who are also part of the City Football Group, to land the midfielder in any competition.

The Moroccan’s deal also has a release clause of €20m, making him an affordable and relatively cheap option to strengthen Manchester City’s midfield options.

Of course, he has made several deals with Verona before. Savinho spent time at the club before moving to the Etihad. Vitor Reis and Claudio Echeverri are also on loan at the Spanish side this season.

transfer approved

Sports are confident that this will be another success story. The newspaper labels Azzedine Onahi as a player with a ‘strong work ethic, good technique and a powerful shot’.

They also see the 26-year-old as a replacement for Bernardo Silva given what he has done at Verona.

According to the newspaper he has been a ‘blessing’ to manager Mitchell. And his impact goes beyond just numbers.

The midfielder has often been the player who ‘carried the team on his back’ when things were not going well. He was also a player in the team who ‘constantly tried to hurt the opposition’. He would often deviate from the script to ‘push his team forward’.

In other words, he is a leader. And at €20m, could easily be the ‘ideal replacement’ for Bernardo Silva in Manchester City’s midfield.

Manchester United Elche is one of the clubs pursuing CF’s David Affengruber for the summer.

After a spell at Sturm Graz, the Austria international joins the La Liga team on a free transfer in 2024.

At the time, Elche were in the second division and the centre-back played a key role in helping them secure promotion. He played 40 matches in the Segunda División last season

The defender has continued to shine for Elche this season and has attracted the attention of Manchester United.

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 30
• Start: 27
• Total minutes: 2,442
• Minutes per game: 82
• Interceptions per game: 1.4
• Tackles per game: 2.1
• Balls recovered per game: 4.4
• Clearances per game: 4.8
• Duels won per game: 5.0

Manchester United joins La Liga

Many clubs in Spain and abroad are keeping a close eye on David Affengruber. is according to sports worldAnd Manchester United belongs to the latter category.

The Elche CF manager takes a liking to the 25-year-old and insists he has to represent Austria at the World Cup.

“If he doesn’t go to the World Cup, it will be one of the biggest injustices in football history,” He said.

“We were on the bench, we had the last substitution, and I could see he was tired. But I told him he has fighting spirit and hunger. When the football isn’t enough, Affengruber is there. He motivates the team, especially when you have that animal behind you. It’s a team win, but given their league-leading position, it was especially important.”

The newspaper then looks at Atletico Madrid’s interest in the defender. Earlier this week, he scored a goal and assisted in his team’s 3–2 win over Los Rojiblancos.

He impressed Diego Simeone’s team, who could include him on their target list for the summer.

The Austrian has already proven himself in La Liga and has ‘great international potential’, which makes him attractive in the market.

Atletico are not the only club to show interest in him, with Manchester United, Villarreal, Real Betis and Sevilla also keen. These clubs are now keeping a close eye on the player.

Elche, for their part, value Affengruber at around €20m. This should certainly be fair to the Premier League side.

There are other central defenders on Manchester United’s radar. Earlier this week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Portugal The Red Devils are keen on Sporting’s Goncalo Inácio.

Contract, price and agent information

The player will have one year remaining on his contract after this season. Without renewal, the summer window will be the last chance for Elche to earn good fees from its sales.

Value, according to David Affengruber transfer market€9m, and 11Wins are managing it.

Manchester City Despite increasing noise from Barcelona, ​​they are still pursuing Palmeiras teenager Eduardo Conceição.

In the eyes of the Brazilian press, this picture looks different. Manchester City continues to be ranked as the club in reports do most of the work behind the scenesTrying to move early and gain profits before the situation becomes even more congested.

In Spain, there has been a trend towards coverage barcelona is in the leadPlayers are willing to wait and figure out their project. In Brazil, however, the focus remains on City’s efforts to expedite a deal and stay ahead of its rivals.

Manchester City’s presence felt in Brazil

One quote sums up the situation well. As reported espn brazilA source close to the player described the scenario simply: “All the big clubs in Europe want him.”

But according to this latest report, the City’s approach has not been passive. Club representatives traveled to Paraguay during the U17 South American Championship, following Eduardo Conceição closely and strengthening contacts with his camp.

Such an appearance underlines how seriously the club is taking the situation. It’s about being there, building relationships and trying to put yourself ahead of the rest.

Eduardo rewarded that attention on the pitch. He finished the tournament as one of Brazil’s standout players, recording two goals and two assists in six matches.

Brazil finished third after defeating Ecuador 1–0, losing in the semi-finals to eventual champions Colombia, who defeated Argentina 4–0 in the final.

Constant contact as the race heats up

Away from the pitch, the fight continues at full speed. ESPN describes “ongoing daily contact” between interested clubs and people close to the player. That level of communication shows how competitive this race has become.

As well as Manchester City, clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United are involved, while Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona continue to apply pressure from outside England.

Prices are rising as Palmeiras remains stable

For now, Palmeiras is holding its own. The market is working around a figure of £34m (€40m), but the Brazilian club are aiming higher. Internally, they are looking for something closer to £43m (€50m) before seriously considering a deal.

There is no promptness from their side either. Eduardo cannot move to Europe until December 2027, allowing Palmeiras to wait for what they consider an extraordinary offer.

With Manchester City still trying, Barcelona shaping players’ thinking, and interest spreading across Europe, that “extraordinary” bid may not be far away.

Manchester City Have signed many youngsters in recent years and are still on the lookout.

Premier League teams are already looking across Europe and beyond for young talent.

In the last few days, the game has witnessed Brazil and Spain’s claims covered About Manchester City’s solid interest in Palmeiras youngster Eduardo Conceição.

The 16-year-old has put his offer on hold and is waiting to find out whether Barcelona will make a move.

Last week, we Covered claims from Brazil Athletico Paranaense youngster Bruninho is on Manchester City’s radar. two days ago, game witness broadcast news Pep Guardiola is keen to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Ibrahim Maza.

Manchester City focuses on the Mexican market

The Citizens are owned by City Football Group, who have several clubs in their stable. This includes New York City FC, Verona, Troyes and others.

Pumas UNAM manager Efraín Juárez worked as an assistant with the MLS side between 2020 and 2022.

He has confirmed that Manchester City owners have already asked him about some players for both their youth and first teams. record In Mexico he has released his comments.

“Because of my relationship with the group, I worked there for three years. It is the biggest football group in the world,” He said.

“I heard they were coming. They asked me about some of the players from the youth academy and currently in the first team, who are already thinking about how they can strengthen their squad with their ten or twelve teams around the world.

“He has that spontaneity and clarity. With such a big group, that always happens. I will welcome him tomorrow; we will definitely welcome him.”

“On Thursday, I’ll see if I can have dinner with them. They’ll ask me questions. They’re going to watch some matches, not only ours, but some from the Mexican League as well. They’re coming to watch the games; that’s what they do.”

No mention of details of players

Efrain Juarez did not confirm which players the Manchester City owner is considering or is on his agenda.

There have been no concrete claims made recently regarding players being considered by Premier League teams. More updates on this may come in the coming days or weeks.

chelsea Midfielder Enzo Fernandez continues to generate transfer noise across Europe, even as things have settled down at Stamford Bridge. Now Manchester City Has been dragged in.

it feels like this peace has been restored Following an internally tumultuous period for the Argentinian midfielder. However, this has not stopped speculation about a possible exit. In fact, quite the opposite.

With the rounds of clubs all over Europe Chelsea are already identifying potential midfield replacementsThe idea of ​​a summer departure is still under discussion.

Real Madrid heavily linkedPSG are monitoring the situation. Now a new case related to Manchester City has come to light.

Manchester City’s stance hinges on major change

According to journalist Gustavo Yaroch, speaking espn argentinaThere is growing talk of Manchester City potentially joining the race. However, this will only happen under certain conditions.

“There are rumors in England that Pep Guardiola may step down after the World Cup,” He said.

“If that were the case, and Enzo Maresca came in as Manchester City manager, he would also have Enzo Fernandez on his radar.”

This is an important warning. This claim is related to a hypothetical managerial change. Such a change would represent a major change at Etihad.

PSG is also monitoring the situation

The same report states that Paris Saint-Germain is currently the most concrete interested party.

“PSG are very interested in the Chelsea midfielder, who has a €121m (£103m) release clause. It would be no financial problem for the French club.” Yaroch explained.

This figure is well below the €150m-€160m (£128m-£137m) valuation discussed elsewhere. However, it is unclear how this fits in with Chelsea’s internal stance.

What does this mean for Chelsea?

From Chelsea’s perspective, the situation is becoming increasingly noisy. Real Madrid’s praise, PSG’s interest and now Manchester City’s speculative angle all point to Fernandez being firmly on the radar across Europe.

However, City Link, as it stands, appears to be highly conditional. It depends on Guardiola leaving, Maresca coming in and then the push given to the player. This is a series of events that is not possible.

For now, Chelsea are in control. He has shown no intention of lowering his demands, and any club would still need a fee in excess of €100m (£85m) to seriously consider a move.

At this stage, the situation feels more like accumulation than acceleration. But concrete movement remains limited.

Chelsea’s stance is clear, and unless that changes, even Europe’s biggest clubs may find themselves watching rather than taking action.

Manchester United And Manchester City Now Maxi Araujo is stepping into the race, but the story has been going on for a while.

The Sporting CP player has been one of the standout performers among Portuguese clubs in this season’s Champions League. Despite Sporting’s exit at the quarter-final stage, his numbers and impact have kept him firmly in the headlines.

Statistically, Araújo has recorded 43 tackles in the competition – the most in this year’s Champions League. He also ranks among the leaders of duels won with 77, placing him behind names like Lamin Yamal and Giuliano Simeone.

These figures help explain why Premier League interest emerged in the first place. As we reportedTottenham Hotspur and Chelsea were early proponents, making contact with the player’s representatives and sending scouts to keep an eye on him in Lisbon and internationally.

Now, the situation is evolving.

Manchester club moved into position

Maxi Araujo is now attracting the attention of both Manchester United and Manchester City.

according to to ballTwo Manchester clubs are currently leading English interest and are actively assessing what it takes to sign him this summer.

we’ve covered The initial approach from Manchester United dates back to about a month ago, but Manchester City’s presence adds some spice to the conversation.

Surveillance and initial contact began with tottenham and chelsea Now entering a phase where big financial players are preparing for possible moves.

performance is increasing demand

Maxi Araujo’s comprehensive season boosts Champions League impact.

He has played 37 matches in all competitions, starting 33 of them, scoring six goals and four assists. In Europe, he contributed two goals and one assist, often in high-intensity matches. He was Sporting’s standout performer in the quarter-finals Match against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Also, their strategic profile remains a major attraction. He has played mainly as a left-back this season, but his ability to operate as a wing-back or winger gives clubs many options.

That versatility, combined with his defensive output, makes him a strong fit for teams that rely on dynamic wide players.

The state of the game and the reality of the market

Sporting are not actively looking to sell. In fact, They’re trying to give him a raise To stay a little longer. But they understand the pressure. They also believe that strong offers can turn the situation around quickly.

He is under contract until 2029 and has an €80m (£69m) release clause. However, reports suggest Sporting will consider offers in the €40m-€50m (£34.5m-£43m) range.

This makes it an attainable – and welcome – entry point for clubs such as Manchester United and Manchester City.

what happens next

Maxi Araujo is now at the center of an escalating transfer battle. The involvement of Manchester United and Manchester City raises the stakes, while Tottenham and Chelsea remain part of the picture after their initial moves.

With strong performance, elite level data and growing demand, the next steps will depend on which club decides to act first.

Games may be trying to hold their own, but the market is starting to revolve around them.

AS Roma need to secure €80m in capital gains by June 30^th could give Manchester United Easy route to midfielder Manu Kone or Ivan Ndika.

Il Messagero reports on the situation today And how the red carpet could be rolled out for Manchester United this summer.

incoming revenue

The newspaper reports that Roma are working to reduce that figure as much as possible. They have already signed various sponsorship deals and are expecting around €15m from the Lega Serie A deal with IMG.

This will help them breathe easier, but there is a possibility of a sale, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Manu Kone is likely to be the prime candidate for sale. He has a lot of suitors, including Inter Milan. In fact, according to Il Messaggero, he is the one who is ‘closest to a possible departure’.

Manchester United have been linked for months.

a report from january They were named as contenders along with PSG, Atlético Madrid and Inter. Three months later, again a report Manchester United was in the mix as it was explained that Roma needed to sell.

The situation is similar with Ndica also. He is also one of the big names who will be ‘forced to say goodbye’ in the coming months. All indications are that the Italian club will open its doors to bids to help balance the books.

manchester united needs

Of the two players, Manu Kone means the most to Manchester United. They are in need of a new defensive midfielder following the departure of Casemiro this summer.

There is also an expectation that Manuel Ugarte will be moved, so Cone could be the answer. And at 24 years old, Kobi will represent a long-term investment and long-term partner for Manu.

It all depends on the asking price, which is expected to be €45m. But Roma are desperate for money, so it is unlikely to be a fixed price by any means.

Instead, the need for money makes the Frenchman a potential bargain option for Manchester United and others.

Juventus have been keen for months, while Galatasaray are also making an offer. In fact, a report last month had Bernardo Silva There is a €15m deal to be decided between the two clubs.

This appears to have spurred Fenerbahce into action. They don’t want to let him go elsewhere in Turkey without putting an offer on the table themselves. Thus, their director will be traveling to England this week to speak to his agent and state his case.

This will add another layer to an already developing transfer battle. Silva will have plenty of suitors and even more offers when he leaves Manchester City on a free transfer this summer.
