When? Corriere Della Sera Asked if Fiorentina could retain Moise Kean, he said: “I hope so. He has an important release clause, but in Europe they know his value. And I would add the name of Fagioli, a Barcelona midfielder who plays in Italy.”

The Italy international is untouchable for Fiorentina, but only up to a certain point unless they consider monstrous bids.

There are several clubs who are interested in the former Juventus player. The Italian club, who have to handle his case with care, will have to be ‘careful of Tottenham’.

The north London club is one of the contenders and their interest forces La Viola to take action. The latter have set a price of between €25-30m for Fagioli, who earns €1.8m net per year.

Spurs would not consider this a huge price and it is certainly affordable for them. There is no mention of other contenders, but the outlet concludes its report by saying ‘It could be a hot summer for Fagioli.’

Door open for West Ham player

Eintracht Frankfurt finished eighth in the table while West Ham United dropped out of the top spot.

The German club have confirmed that Adi Hütter, who spent three years between 2018 and 2021, will return to the club.

He previously managed Songoutou Magassa at AS Monaco and under his command, the current West Ham man played 53 matches. The manager knows French well and his profile suits the requirements of the German club.

Eintracht Frankfurt are looking to bring the 22-year-old back this season in a bid to please their manager. They could take advantage of the London club’s slide in the Championship to secure his signature for a reasonable deal.

Taking these factors into account, Bild said the Bundesliga side are ‘considering another attempt to sign him.’

Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Kroesch was criticized for signing a defensive midfielder last summer. The report insists the club have, in a way, paid the price for it and Magasa could be the solution this summer.

As well as the former Monaco man, VfL Wolfsburg’s Patrick Wimmer is also on their agenda. Following Wolfsburg’s relegation, the Austrian has a clause that allows him to leave for less than €12m.

magasa has to decide

Bild have made no mention of whether Soungoutou Magasa is interested in joining Eintracht Frankfurt if they push for his signature.

In fact, there is no indication whether the player wants to leave West Ham United or not. He has a contract until 2031, worth €17m transfer market.

The midfielder must first decide whether he wants to play in the Championship or go on a loan/permanent transfer.

Hull City And leeds united USL Dunkirk’s Anto Sekongo has been placed on their target list for the summer.

The Tigers won promotion to the Premier League and Sergej Zakirovic is working to strengthen his squad.

Hull City are keeping an eye on the 21-year-old, and Lead United and several other clubs are also after him.

These include Leeds United, Lille, Toulouse FC, FC Lorient, Stade Rennais, AS Saint-Étienne and Samsunspor.

The Turkish club’s owners also own a Ligue 2 team, and whether this gives them an edge over other contenders is unclear. If the player decides to leave USL Dunkirk, he will ‘soon’ have to choose between several suitors.

The report does not mention Dunkirk’s stance or its demands. The report also does not mention who among the interested parties is ahead in the race for the transfer.

Contracts, prices and statistics

Anto Sekongo’s contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is worth €4m. His supporters will be waiting for his final decision on where he wants to play next season.

After signing the attacker for free, the French club can make a profit from his sale.

everton Sporting Clube de Portugal are again showing interest in right-back Georgios Vagiannidis.

A report said that Everton are one of the options on the table for the 24-year-old, who could be signed for at least €10m.

Everton’s interest revived

The newspaper reports that the Greek right-back could leave Sporting this summer because he is ‘lacking playing time’ at the club.

Although he has publicly expressed his intention to stay and attempt to establish himself, his continued presence in the team has not yet been confirmed.

Georgios Vagiannidis has made 32 appearances for Sporting this season, but his performances have failed to convince. As a result, they are willing to let Sporting go if they can recoup the money they spent last summer.

The defender joined from Panathinaikos in a €13m deal but is currently valued at €10m. Two parties in particular have inquired about the terms of the deal; Everton and Villarreal.

No official offer has been made yet, but both clubs have made inquiries. And, interestingly, both were interested in him even before he moved to Sporting last summer.

Everton need a right-back

Sport Witness covered those reports at the timeSporting won the race after Everton took the lead. Now he and Villarreal are back on the scene.

For his part, Georgios Vagiannidis has already rejected a return to Greece as he wants to establish himself with Sporting. But he would also be interested in trying his luck in a ‘more competitive league’. The Premier League would certainly fit into that category.

Everton need at least one right-back this summer, the experiment of playing Jake O’Brien in this position is certainly at an end. Seamus Coleman has also moved on and Nathan Patterson could also go.

Reports in England have already linked them with a £10m move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It now appears that Sporting may also have a €10 million option on the table.

Emerged as an option for Schalke wolverhampton wanderersSasa Kalajdzic.

The striker spent this season on loan at LASK and scored seven goals and four assists in 27 matches.

Earlier this month, the Wolves man said that LASK sporting director Dino Buric was critical of his loan transfer. He also opened the door to extend his stay.

He said: : “Dino and I are in constant contact. I came here because of Dino. He was the deciding factor. I don’t know what will happen in the summer. I am satisfied and living in the here and now.”

However, the Austria international bid goodbye to LASK and will return to Molineux where his future remains uncertain.

Schalke suggests an escape route

Wolves were relegated from the Premier League while the German club returned to the Bundesliga.

Edin Dzeko played a key role in Schalke’s promotion and has a contract until June. It is unclear whether the 40-year-old has signed an extension or not, but they are keen to sign Wolves’ Sasa Kalajdzic.

is according to sports24 In Austria, Joe reports the 28-year-old is a ‘hot topic’ for Schalke’s Austrian manager Miron Muslic.

There is no mention in the report as to whether the frontman plans to change clubs again or stay at Wolves, who will play in the Championship next season.

Ernst Baumeister, who managed him at Admira Wacker, recently watched Kalajdzic in action against Red Bull Hamburg. The coach changed his role from defensive midfielder to striker.

Sport24 concluded its report by saying that he has been asked to change his agent after the World Cup. It is quite possible that it was Baumeister who was urging him to take this step.

Our opinion: Wolves should sell this summer

Wolves signed Sasa Kalajdzic from VfB Stuttgart in August 2022, and he suffered an injury on his debut.

He was sidelined for 275 days before suffering another serious setback in April 2024. This kept him off the field for 437 days.

The Austrian’s contract expires in 2027, and transfer market He is worth €4m. Wolves are likely to sell him this summer to avoid losing him unnecessarily next year.

of manchester united Gabriel Veneno’s attempts to establish himself quickly are already facing a serious problem: Barcelona are aggressively pursuing the Atletico Mineiro teenager.

Recent reports suggest United was ramping up its background work At the age of 16. They are also maintaining close contact around one of Brazil’s hottest prospects.

However, according to espn brazilThe Catalan club is now trying to take the lead in the race.

Barcelona want to secure a deal for Veneno before he even makes his professional debut for Atletico Mineiro, the report says.

While FIFA rules prevent any move before he turns 18, the Spanish side reportedly want to close the operation early and avoid lengthy battles with Premier League clubs later on.

Barcelona’s strategy was prepared

According to ESPN Brazil, Barcelona’s plan will be to initially keep Veneno in their B team. This would follow a path that had previously been used with other Brazilian prospects arriving in Spain at a young age.

The deal has not yet been reported as advanced. Still, the financial scale already shows how seriously Kishore is being viewed.

ESPN say the transfer could ultimately reach £17 million (€20 million). This is a huge figure for a player who is yet to make his professional debut.

Therefore, Manchester United may already be aware that simply monitoring the situation will not be enough if they really want to compete for the forward.

Comparisons to the “new Neymar” are already visible

The report also claims that Spanish sources have started comparing Veneno to Neymar.

Labels like this always require caution, especially around a 16-year-old. Even in Brazil, people are urging peace despite the heavy publicity around them. Still, attention continues to grow.

Veneno and his snakebite story Has already become one of the most talked-about academy players in Brazilian football.

Atlético Mineiro see him as a major long-term asset and recently, reports in Brazil suggested that the club was relaxed about European interest as no concrete talks had taken place.

The tone of Barcelona’s movement seems to be changing slightly. For Manchester United, this could be considered a battle that may require real action sooner than expected.

Ajax let go of Brian Brobby to join Sunderland last summer “a little too easily”, with apparent regret over the deal a year later.

football primer report On journalist Mike Verweij’s comments today regarding the Sunderland striker. he is affected by Brobby’s development at the Stadium of Light In this weather.

sunderland success

Brian Brobby joined Sunderland on a €20m deal at the end of the summer transfer window last year.

He left the Dutch team after a difficult second spell at the club, where he struggled for goals and faced regular criticism from the Dutch press.

It was soon forgotten in England. The 24-year-old has been one of the stars of the show for Sunderland this season, scoring seven goals and one assist in 30 Premier League games so far.

The last of those came last weekend when he easily beat Everton’s James Tarkowski to eventually win 3–1.

His performances should set him up for a major role for the Netherlands at the World Cup this summer. And Verweij believes manager Ronald Koeman will be pleased with the striker’s development.

“It’s obviously something that pleases Koeman,” he said in the Kick-Off podcast, discussing Brobbey’s form at Sunderland.

“Brobbie has really taken things up in England. Last year, with four goals, he was really bad. I think Ajax also let him go a little too easily. That’s good news.”

Netherlands’ role

The question is what role Brian Brobby will play for the Netherlands this summer. Despite his good performances in the Premier League, he has yet to establish himself as first choice.

Ronald Koeman prefers Memphis Depay as his main striker, but questions remain over his fitness ahead of the tournament.

This could give the Sunderland striker a chance to make an impact. Whether he understands this or not remains to be seen.

liverpool Sporting star Francisco Trincao is on his target list for the summer.

The Portugal international has operated primarily on the right wing for most of his career.

However, he played primarily as an attacking midfielder at Sporting this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 18 assists in 53 matches.

His performances have already caught the attention of Liverpool as they are in the market for a new right winger. Mohamed Salah has held that position at Anfield for a long time and will leave after this season.

The Reds have identified RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande as one of their main targets. He ruled out A move in the summer but left the door open for a future transfer.

Arne Slot’s team will have to focus on other targets and could consider signing Sporting Man.

Liverpool keen on former PL attacker

Francisco Trincão spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring three goals and one assist in 30 appearances.

The Merseyside club could bring him back to the Premier League in the summer.

The 26-year-old is on today’s front page recordWhich has ‘Trincao on the English route’ written in bold and also mentions Liverpool’s interest.

In the report, the newspaper says that the attacker has a market in England.

The Reds are the only club mentioned and are keen to acquire his services.

Therefore, the Lions are willing to listen to offers, as long as it is acceptable. He has a release clause of €60m in his contract, but Sporting could probably sell him for a lower price.

Earlier this month, Sporting manager Rui Borges had already hinted that he “may want to take a different path” in the summer.

All of these factors should please Liverpool, as long as they are willing to make a concrete move to sign Trincao.

Contract, price and agent information

On 4 March, Francisco Trincão signed a new contract with Sporting until 2030. Now its value, according to transfer market€35m and is the highest of his career.

The agency Gestifute, headed by super-agent Jorge Mendes, represents the sporting individual.

coventry city are already moving forward like a club that knows survival in the Premier League will depend on smart recruitment, and Botafogo winger Matthias Martins has now emerged as a name on their radar ahead of the summer window.

According to Brazilian outlet globo esporteNewly promoted team Feyenoord is one of several European clubs keeping an eye on the 22-year-old, along with Celta de Vigo and Krasnodar.

Coventry’s interest has grown as the club prepares for its first Premier League campaign in 25 years under Frank Lampard.

Botafogo are now ready to sell the winger for around €8m (£6.7m). The figure is significantly less than the €10m (£8.4m) paid to Udinese in 2024.

The Brazilian side are under financial pressure and reportedly see Matheus Martins as one of the assets capable of generating immediate wealth.

Newcomers to the Premier League often have difficulty finding attackers with top-flight experience at affordable prices. Matthias Martins already knows English football His spell at Watfordwhere he played 49 matches, scoring six goals and adding three assists in the championship, before returning to Brazil.

Coventry City sees opportunity in the market

Matthias Martins hasn’t exactly burst onto the scene at Botafogo, but there are signs why clubs remain interested.

Since arriving, he has played 81 matches, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. Those numbers are modest on paper, yet his speed, ability to attack defenders one-on-one and experience in different systems still make him an attractive developmental option.

Lampard’s team is expected to recruit aggressively this summer, particularly in wide areas, and Matthias Martins fits the profile of a player with reviving ability, Premier League athleticism and previous adaptation to English football.

Financial pressure could help Coventry

There is another important detail behind Botafogo’s stance.

The Brazilian club still owes Udinese part of the original transfer fee and the matter has been escalated to FIFA. Reports from Brazil estimate the outstanding debt at around €6m (£5m). It appears that financial pressures are affecting the club’s willingness to negotiate below the original purchase price.

In practical terms, this could give Coventry an opening.

The €8m (£6.7m) deal is relatively manageable by Premier League standards, especially for a player who is still only 22 and already has experience in Italy’s network system through Brazil, Udinese and English football.

Mattheus Martins is currently recovering from a muscle injury, but Botafogo are hopeful he will return soon. His situation now looks increasingly likely to become one of the club’s main transfer stories of the summer.

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is pushing again

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

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

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

feels more and more like passing out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

arsenal may still be there

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

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

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

fulham The Portuguese media are describing it as an increasingly urgent effort to retain Marco Silva. Latest reports claim the club are now willing to make promises he had previously rejected in an attempt to stop him leaving this summer.

Fulham manager remains One of Benfica’s main goals If Jose Mourinho leaves for Real Madrid. There is now a growing feeling in Portugal that the coming days could be decisive.

according to to ballFulham are working hard behind the scenes to convince Silva to renew his contract and stay at Craven Cottage. Additionally, reports suggested that the London club were effectively ‘putting pressure’ on the manager for the decision, as they were trying to avoid losing him.

Crucially, the Portuguese newspaper claims Fulham are now ready for “Give Silva the things they didn’t give him last season”.

Although the report does not go into exact details, the suggestion is clearly linked to competitiveness and squad planning. It also links to the scale of the summer rebuild that Silva wants before committing to his future.

Fulham are trying to change Silva’s mind

The latest update paints a picture of a club struggling to avoid a major managerial loss.

Silva has repeatedly stressed No decision has been taken yet. However, his recent comments in the British press indicate why this summer means so much to him.

“The coming summer will be one of the most important for the future of Fulham. We are going to analyze things and have some meetings. I need to remain calm to deal with many aspects.” he explained.

This fits in perfectly with the latest Portuguese claims.

According to him, Fulham continues to insist on renewal, while also promising to provide guarantees about the team’s competitiveness moving forward. These discussions are said to be creating real doubts in Silva’s mind about leaving.

The timing is crucial as Fulham are entering a defined transfer window. Silva has stabilized the club in the Premier League, but it is clear he wants stronger support if he wants to continue leading this project for the long term.

Benfica waits for the mourinho domino

Meanwhile, at Benfica, Mourinho is effectively waiting for the situation to fully unfold before making his move.

Portuguese reports continue to insist that Benfica hope that Mourinho will accept Florentino Pérez’s offer to return to Madrid. Once that happens, Benfica are expected to formally move for Marco Silva.

The report states that Benfica are ready to offer Silva a two-year contract as part of a sporting project designed to reclaim the Portuguese title. Furthermore, the project focuses on returning strongly to the Champions League.

Silva’s relationship with Benfica director general Mario Branco has again been highlighted as a key factor. The two previously worked together at Estoril and are seen internally as capable of quickly orchestrating the next phase of the club’s rebuilding.

add to that The air journey that mourinho and silva took Together for London. With this, you will have a lot to elaborate on.

Decision may come soon

The newspaper claims Silva could be ready to announce his decision after the final Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday.

This would explain why Fulham are now moving so aggressively to resolve the situation.

There is another layer to Portugal’s reporting. While Ruben Amorim reportedly has strong support internally at Benfica, A Bola says he currently has no plans to coach next season unless a major foreign offer suddenly arrives.

that’s contradictory Correio da Manha’s claim That Amorim is their priority target.

Furthermore, it makes Silva look like Benfica’s most realistic option – until a late push from Fulham, and the promise of a big future, manages to change his mind.

Inter Milan attempted to sign of liverpool Curtis Jones in January. Although a deal fell through, they are still keen on the midfielder.

sports witness Covered how his exit from Anfield in the winter was dependent on renewals at the club. The Reds were offering him this but the midfielder refused, denying himself the chance to join the future Italian champions.

Since then, Jones has been a regular for Liverpool. He has started each of the last five games, being left on the bench only once since the end of January.

Inter depends on player efforts

Today’s Tuttosport – Go fcinternewsAccording to the report, Liverpool player Manu Kone is Inter’s option. While both players have different profiles, Christian Chivu is a big fan of the England player.

It is believed that Jones has had a ‘fall out with Slott’ and is still refusing to renew his deal at Anfield. The current contract expires in 2027, which could force the Reds to sell him this summer.

The Nerazzurri want to find out Liverpool’s asking price. This will help them evaluate the transfer in the best possible way, especially if a deal cannot be reached for Kone.

Willingness to leave is seen as positive

corriere dello sport Walk on the same path today.

He also believes Jones wants to leave the Merseyside club. This would help Inter get a better deal, as Liverpool would be forced to sell him.

The newspaper says that Cone and Jones are very different midfielders. This may cause confusion but Chivu remains a big admirer of the 25-year-old and that is what is driving Inter’s interest.

It is very difficult to see both midfielders coming in the summer. As a result, if Jones really wants to end up at San Siro, he may have to formally ask for an exit.

Our Opinion: Getting out of slots can be important

TuttoSport’s stance on the matter seems interesting. He feels Jones has a specific issue with the slot, indicating that the Dutchman’s exit could change things.

He is playing regularly and other than the manager he can have no other reason for leaving.

This suggests that Liverpool may still keep Jones. If the slot goes, the next manager will have to convince the Englishman of an important role in the project.

Aston Villa Villa are considering bringing Marcus Rashford back to Park in the summer.

The England international spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United.

Unai Emery’s team wanted to retain him, but he turned him down to join Barcelona on loan in July 2025.

Barça’s sporting director deco said Aston Villa wanted to extend his stay in February and the 28-year-old attempted to reach Camp Nou instead.

Despite last summer’s failure, the Premier League team has not forgotten Rashford. On 29 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain That Emery is making progress in developing his team.

The price favors Aston Villa

Real Madrid are in the process of appointing Jose Mourinho as their new manager and the latest UK claims the Portuguese wants to reunite with Marcus Rashford at Madrid.

Wednesday edition of sports world The Manchester United player has wasted no time in dismissing the possibility of joining Real Madrid.

Sources close to the attacker told the newspaper that he is ‘100% focused’ on staying at Camp Nou.

Rashford is not considering other options including a return to Old Trafford.

Hansi Flick has a €30m buyout clause and the Red Devils are refusing to lower it or approve another loan offer.

Without giving any further details, Mundo further said that he has offers from other clubs including Aston Villa.

game The Catalan club were said to have reached an agreement on personal terms with Rashford on personal terms on Wednesday and need to agree a deal with Michael Carrick’s side to purchase him.

At the moment, Barça do not want to pay the €30m and are exploring other options, including a new loan deal.

Manchester United are not budging and are optimistic that other clubs, including Aston Villa, are willing to meet their €30m demand. The figure quoted is unlikely to be an issue for Unai Emery’s side.

Our opinion: Barca’s gamble could benefit Aston Villa

It seems Barcelona are committed to keeping Marcus Rashford, but only by meeting the only condition set by Manchester United.

The Camp Nou side are taking a gamble with their approach and it is unlikely to pay off.

Refusing to pay the €30 million they could have missed out on the attack would have allowed Aston Villa to move on.

bournemouth Fiorentina are showing interest in full-back Nicolo Fortini, having made initial contacts about a move this summer.

Report by Gianluca Di Marzio That Bournemouth have shown interest in the 20-year-old and have already started talks about him.

Bournemouth talks

Italian journalists insist that no further progress has been made from those initial talks. According to their information, incoming manager Marco Rose will have his say on a possible transfer.

He is set to replace Andoni Ierola at the end of the season. And there is every possibility that he may decide to give Julio Soler a bigger chance next season. The Argentine has made only six Premier League appearances this season.

But when it comes to players, a change of manager can often lead to a change of plans. Thus, any upcoming transfer business appears to be on hold until Marco Rose can assess the squad he will inherit.

Nicolo Fortini is the left-back, so will come into the team to compete with summer signing Ariane Traffert. The 24-year-old has been a regular this season, playing 99% of available minutes in the Premier League and playing in the starting 11 100% of the time.

Marco Rose’s Choice

It seems that Bournemouth now want to ensure that there are enough options in the team and Fortini could be that man.

However, he has only played 16% of his available minutes in Serie A this season. That number increased to 53% in the Conference League, which lasted nine games.

But it seems Bournemouth have taken notice somehow. And there have been preliminary talks about a possible move to the south coast this summer.

It appears any final decision will be up to Marco Rose. Bournemouth plan to give him time to make his decision on the team he inherits from Irola before approving or blocking any transfer moves.

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

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

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

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

His league statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 31
• Start: 26
• Total minutes: 2,272
• Assists: 15
• Expected Support: 10.04
• Key passes per game: 1.8
• Big chances created: 22
• Tackles per game: 1.1
• Recoveries per game: 3.9
• Duels won per game: 2.9

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

Manchester United keen on Ryerson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

armory And Barcelona are keen to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Christian Kofen in the summer.

The striker’s rapid development in the Bundesliga squad has led to interest from Arsenal, Barcelona and several other clubs.

Bayer Leverkusen signed him from second division Spanish side Albacete Balompié after activating his €5m release clause in July 2025.

The move has worked out well for both sides as he has performed well this season, scoring seven goals and nine assists.

His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 12
• Total minutes: 1,269
• Target: 5
• Assist: 4

• Expected Support: 1.11
• Big chances made: 4
• Big chances missed: 11

Earlier this year, Sport Witness broadcast news Newcastle United have strong interest in the 19-year-old.

Arsenal and Barcelona ahead

Africa Foot Now reports that Christian Kofen’s ‘remarkable rise’ at Bayer Leverkusen has already attracted the attention of several clubs.

These include Newcastle United, Chelsea, Brentford and Bayern Munich and these clubs have made initial contact to gather information about signing him.

However, Arsenal and Barcelona are in ‘pole position’ as the report says both clubs are ‘making more concrete moves’.

There has been no explanation as to what concrete steps the Gunners and La Liga winners have taken so far. However, both teams appear to be ahead of other clubs in the race to sign the Cameroon international.

Bayer Leverkusen are in control of the situation and would be ‘particularly receptive to a higher financial offer’, without mentioning any figures. Having invested €5m to sign him, this allows them to make huge profits.

On March 31, Khel Witness Covered claims from Germany Bayer Leverkusen have set their sights on Club Brugge’s Nicolo Tresoldi. A move would be considered if Kofane leaves.

Contract, price and agent information

The Cameroonian’s contract runs until 2029, and transfer market He is now valued at €40 million, the highest valuation of his career.

AfroSport, an agency owned by agent Eric DePaolo, represents Christian Kofen.

If the Bayer Leverkusen frontman were to move to the Emirates, he would initially have to settle for a backup role at Arsenal.

Juventus wants to sign liverpool Goalkeeper Alisson this summer because he could be available for a ‘symbolic fee’ rather than his real value.

Corriere dello sport report Today on goalkeeper. Juventus want an experienced goalkeeper this summer and the Liverpool goalkeeper is the first choice.

‘Alison or something’

The newspaper says it is a case of ‘Alisson or little else’ this summer. Manager Luciano Spalletti has a clear idea of ​​who he wants in goal next season.

He wants to ensure that Juventus make a leap in quality this summer, not improve slightly. The belief is that the Liverpool goalkeeper can provide that.

But the focus is really on the cost of operation. If he were available for a ‘symbolic fee’, in other words not for the €10-15m quoted in recent months, the transfer could become a reality. If this does not happen then it will remain a story which is ‘destined to never be completed’.

Juventus already have other options on their list. Fiorentina’s David De Gea is Plan B despite turning 36 on November 7^th.

Fiorentina would like him to stay for the next two seasons. But Juventus intend to talk to the Spaniard to discuss his salary and a possible transfer to Turin this summer. The Italians have also been offered goalkeeper Noah Atubolu.

liverpool has to take a decision

But the goalkeeper remains Liverpool’s number one target. He can provide the experience that Spalletti wants in his new number one.

The question is whether Liverpool let him go. They are already missing Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah this summer. Virgil van Dijk has even been linked with a possible move to Turkiye.

Alisson has a year left on his deal after the Reds secured a new deal earlier this year. That means a decision regarding him has to be taken this summer. But it appears Juventus are willing to pay a nominal fee, which may not fit with the Reds’ plans for the Brazilian.

chelsea Now part of the growing European battle for Ousmane Diomande, the market for the sporting defender has been on the rise in recent weeks.

Earlier this spring, Crystal Palace were the Premier League club most linked with the 22-year-old player. Palace explore a move worth around €50m (£43m)But Sporting considered the valuation too low and the deal never proceeded.

Since then, the landscape around Diomande has changed significantly.

According to Portuguese transfer insider Flavio CostaSporting has now received approaches from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

The same report claims Sporting are now only expected to consider a sale for around €60m (£52m), which shows how steeply the defender’s valuation has risen.

Chelsea’s interest is understandable

Chelsea are not being presented as favorites for the defender at this stage. PSG and Bayern Munich are also firmly in the picture.

Nevertheless, Chelsea’s presence in the race is notable given the club’s position. Centre-back issues have repeatedly plagued him this season. Inconsistency, injuries and the lack of a well-organized defensive structure have contributed to difficult moments during the campaign.

As a result, the club is actively looking for high-level defensive additions capable of becoming long-term pillars. Diomande naturally fits that profile.

Standing 190 cm tall, he combines physical strength with mobility and composure. Despite being only 22 years old, he has played over 120 matches for Sporting CP.

Furthermore, he has been on Chelsea’s radar for at least two years now We covered Portuguese reports from 2024 Claiming the centre-back was in his plans. But with a much bigger reputation and European pedigree, Diomande is now a different kind of target.

Preparing for sporting pressure

Sporting renewed Diomande’s contract earlier this year until 2030 and retained his €80m (£69m) release clause.

Nevertheless, the Portuguese club knows that the pressure on the player is increasing rapidly. Diomande is also expected to play for Ivory Coast in the upcoming World Cup, another factor that could increase his value even higher.

A few months ago, crystal Palace It seemed as if the club was pushing most for a defender.

Now the asking price has soared, Europe’s elite are involved, and Chelsea are among the clubs looking to make one of the biggest defensive moves of the summer.

Last season, first-year head coach Ben Johnson turned his innovative offense over to Caleb Williams, leading the Chicago Bears to their best season since 2018 and their first playoff victory since 2010. While the Bears had a top-10 offense, they had a bottom-line defense, ranking 23rd in points.

One area in which he struggled was getting to the quarterback. Chicago’s defense only had 35 sacks last season, and 10 of those came from Montez Sweat. The Bears did not draft any edge rushers, but they did add a defensive tackle in the sixth round after signing Neville Gallimore, Kentavious Street and James Lynch in free agency. No one is projected to start.

After Chicago’s struggles last season, it’s no surprise that some skeptics are wondering if the Bears have done enough to overcome a glaring weakness. Still, there may still be a solution available in free agency.

recently, Sports IllustratedAlbert Breer predicted that the Bears would sign longtime New Orleans Saints defender Cameron Jordan.

Jordan will turn 37 in July, but the eight-time Pro Bowler was still extremely effective in his 15th season, recording 10.5 sacks. This was the seventh time Jordan recorded double-digit sacks in a season.

Still unsigned, Jordan enters the 2026 season ranking second on the NFL’s all-time sack leaders list with 132 (17th on the ‘official list’). He is 6.5 sacks behind 37-year-old Von Miller, who is also unsigned but is 13th on the career sacks list.

Even if the Bears don’t trust Jordan for a starting role, it’s clear he still has something to offer. Still, after appearing in 242 of 243 games, there’s no reason to believe Jordan isn’t ready to resume playing all 17 games, which he has done the past three seasons.

Before the 2026 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs were viewed as a bit unpredictable. Some thought they would move up for blue-chip talent, and Kansas City did so, moving up to No. 6 to select LSU cornerback Mansur Delaney.

Others thought the Chiefs would select a cornerback, edge rusher, offensive tackle or wide receiver in the first round. While the Chiefs added a CB and later a defensive tackle with Clemson’s Peter Woods, Kansas City did not add a receiver until the fifth round.

Nevertheless, the Chiefs are hoping to return to the postseason in 2026; They may not want to wait for more developmental opportunities to reach their potential. How about signing a proven receiver who can definitely help Patrick Mahomes right away?

recently, Sports IllustratedAlbert Breer of the NFL predicted that the Chiefs could still be the final landing spot for current free agent Tyreek Hill. The former Chiefs wideout was released by the Miami Dolphins in February, and his market has remained cold since then.

The 32-year-old will definitely be playing football for an NFL team this season, and it’s likely he would prefer to land with a contender. So, why not consider reuniting with a team he already knows, one that still has the same head coach and quarterback he won a Super Bowl with?

Hill hasn’t had a 1,000-yard season since 2023, but the Chiefs know what type of competitor he is. If a deal comes to fruition, at a reasonable rate, Hill could become one of Kansas City’s best offseason additions.

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

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

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

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

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

Vlahovic sets conditions for transfer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Deal is risky for Newcastle United

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

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

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

Juventus’ interest of liverpool Alison has been in the spotlight in the Italian media for several weeks. The goalkeeper may not be the only player involved in negotiations between the two clubs.

Michel Di Gregorio’s troubles have been brought into the mix, with Tottenham Hotspur already linked with the stopper.

He struggled in the campaign and was even ruled out for several weeks by Luciano Spalletti. Mattia Perin impressed, and nothing Di Gregorio has done since then has helped him regain his lost reputation.

This has raised doubts about his future sports witness Covering interest from Tottenham.

Given their situation, the Italians seemed unwilling to move towards London. However, the idea of ​​a transfer to England is still on the table.

Di Gregorio is going out

gazzetta dello sport Report on possible outgoings from Turin this summer. With Di Gregorio one of the main candidates to depart, the Bianconeri will have to undergo a major overhaul between the sticks.

The Italian has never convinced the Juve management over the past two seasons. Premier League clubs including Liverpool have inquired about him and asked about his condition ahead of potential summer moves.

That’s according to Gazzetta, who state that the Reds are in contact.

Juve see Alisson as their leading candidate to replace Di Gregorio and will talk to Liverpool over a deal. This could also give them the opportunity to progress a move to the Reds for Di Gregorio.

Our take: Anfield move doesn’t make sense

Gazzetta explained that Michele Di Gregorio wants to become the undisputed first choice at his next club. This is mainly due to his disappointment in Turin, where he has been in and out of the first team.

Even if Alison is gone, Giorgi Mamardashvili will be the first-choice goalkeeper at Anfield.

This would not suit Di Gregorio, who would be better off joining a club that may not fall into the ‘elite club’ category. He would play regularly there and potentially make a strong case to play for the Italian national team.

Tottenham look a far better option, and perhaps If they avoid demotion, Michele Di Gregorio may reconsider.

The Chicago Bears made a huge jump in Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach, going from a five-game winning team in 2024 to an 11-winning team in 2025. Still, it looks like there’s another level of development available to unlock in the Windy City.

While Bears general manager Ryan Poles has done a good job of upgrading the team in every way, as well as addressing key weaknesses, there is still one area of ​​concern. Is the offensive line ready to compete for another playoff spot?

However, Sports IllustratedEva Geitheim believes the Bears can still address their offensive line by turning to one of Coach Johnson’s old friends, Taylor Decker. The Detroit Lions’ longtime left tackle requested and received his release from Johnson’s former team earlier this offseason, and he is still unsigned in free agency.

Decker, who turns 33 in August, earned his only Pro Bowl nomination in 2024 after starting 14 games for the Lions. Still, after a 10-year career with the Lions, Decker was ready to move on, and Chicago has a soft landing spot available with a coach he’s already very familiar with.

Additionally, with Trapillo set to miss a significant amount of time, Decker can ensure that the left side of Chicago’s offensive line remains in good shape. Having started all 140 of his appearances since arriving as the 16th overall pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Decker still has a lot left in the tank.

The Washington Capitals had a busy Thursday morning with a few acquisitions. The team signed Theodore Niederbach and Petr Sikora to deals.

The 24-year-old Niederbach was signed to a one-year, two-way contract ($1.025 million/$85,000). In 2025–26, he scored a career-high 13 goals in 52 regular season games with Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

During the season, Nederback finished fourth on Frölunda in assists (19), fifth in goals and sixth in points (32). The six-foot, 196-pound forward recorded two points (1 goal, 1 assist) in six SHL playoff games.

Niederbach was originally selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the second round (51st overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Sikora was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with an average annual value of $995,000. He was selected by the Capitals in the sixth round (178th overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft.

Sikora also added six points in four games as well as two points in 10 playoff games with HC Frydek-Mistek of the Maxa Liga.

Ironically, Sikora should not be confused with former NHL player and two-time Stanley Cup champion, Petr Sikora.

Galatasaray are accelerating their efforts to sign Virgil van Dijk liverpool this summer, as they plan a defensive rebuild.

Photomack did the double for the Liverpool star todayEmphasizing that he is the star name, the Turkish side are looking to strengthen their defense this summer.

Van Dijk wants to leave Liverpool

Sport Witness covered a report earlier this week It said Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk was at the top of Galatasaray’s transfer wishlist this summer.

That report stated that the Super Lig club were willing to match Van Dijk’s Anfield salary and, importantly, the 34-year-old was ready for the move.

Fotomac now reports that head coach Okan Buruk wants to sign a ‘leading star’ to strengthen his defense next season. Van Dijk, who is ‘planning to leave Liverpool’, has become a ‘key name’ in his thinking.

The outlet states that Van Dijk is considering leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Furthermore, he is also probably considering terminating his contract, following in the footsteps of Mohamed Salah.

The growing belief is that the Dutchman is set to join Galatasaray this summer. He played twice against Galatasaray this season and was ‘impressed by the atmosphere’ created by the Turkish fans. It feels like it opened the door one step.

Thus, the Turkish side’s management will now ‘accelerate their contacts’ regarding Van Dijk as soon as transfer work begins for next season.

liverpool overhaul

Now, according to reports earlier this week, Sport Witness will urge caution. This report again seems too big, too based on Turkish confidence.

Most important is the consideration that Virgil van Dijk will expire his contract at Liverpool this summer. Given that this has already happened with Mohamed Salah, it would be a huge step for Liverpool to sanction another such exit.

With Andy Robertson also departing and Alisson potentially leaving as well, letting Van Dijk go free would be a huge and controversial decision from the Liverpool hierarchy.

But, confidence in Turkey remains intact and reports are increasing every minute. This suggests, at least, that something is going on behind the scenes.

Manchester United, armory And chelsea Ajax are in the picture to sign star Mika Godes in the summer.

Two months ago, Sports Witness broadcast news Manchester United are initiating contacts over a potential deal.

On April 28th, we The Dutch press covered the claims. Arsenal and Chelsea scouts will be watching him in live action. The same source also supported the Red Devils’ interest.

When the New York Giants were considering a deal to send Dexter Lawrence out of town, the first question that came to mind was how they would replace him. After all, this was a three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle, a player whom new head coach John Harbaugh described not as a franchise cornerstone but as a “middle stone.”

Harbaugh never got the chance to coach that monstrous interior guard, but he knew what kind of impact the 6-foot-4, 340-pound player could make. Even when the Giants traded Lawrence for the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, there was no immediate replacement available in that draft range. This meant that the Giants may have to get creative in an attempt to overcome the new deficiencies in their defense.

On Tuesday, the Giants took a step toward finding a solution to Lawrence’s departure by signing defensive tackle DJ Reeder.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Giants have signed Reader to a two-year, $12.5 million contract. The 6-foot-3, 330-pound defender is now 31 years old, but he has started 128 of 137 games in his 10-year career.

The truth is that there is no alternative to a player of Lawrence’s caliber. But players like Reeder can help offset the loss. The Giants also recently signed veteran DT Shelby Harris. Both will look to strengthen the Giants’ run defense in 2026, but it’s likely the Giants will continue to look for long-term improvement.

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.

Playing in his preferred role on the left wing, he scored nine goals and six assists in 33 appearances this season.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 28
• Total minutes: 2,199

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Houston Rockets are suffering a first round exit in the NBA playoffs, extending their streak to six seasons without a semifinal appearance. While the Rockets’ young core didn’t take a step forward this season, it appears as if one of them is going to be rewarded with a big deal.

According to Sam Amick and William Guillory of The Athletic, the Rockets are expected to sign Amen Thompson to a contract extension this offseason that will be worth more than $250 million over five years.

Thompson, age 23, earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors last season. Selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, many around the league have been high on the 6-foot-7 wing for his length and excellent defensive ability. In each of the last two seasons, he has been viewed as a player who could make the leap to superstardom and Houston has been unwilling to include him in any trade proposal to bring in an established superstar.

When Thompson signs a five-year contract extension worth more than $250 million, his average annual salary of more than $50 million will make him one of the six highest-paid shooting guards in the NBA. He will be paid similar to Donovan Mitchell and slightly ahead of Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards ($48.924 million average annual value).

Importantly, according to The Athletic, Rockets ownership is giving the front office clearance to spend more on the roster next season and it looks to keep the young core together. However, that could be a problem for Houston once the contract extension takes effect.

Why the Rockets might regret Amen Thompson contract extension?

Entering the offseason, the Rockets payroll for the 2026-27 season is already $184.925 million, according to Basketball Reference. Alperen Sengun is now making more than $35 million per year, Jabari Smith Jr.’s extension also kicks in next season and nearly doubles his salary to $23.643 million. In addition to adding more than $50 million for Thompson, the Rockets will commit $200 million to key players who have not gone to the Western Conference Semifinals together.

There were also some real signs of the limitations of Thompson’s game this season. While he averaged 19.2 points per game in the first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers, this came in 44 minutes per game and 14.3 shot attempts per contest.

In his third NBA season, Thompson did not consistently demonstrate the ability to be a primary scorer who could get his shot and take over games during the playoffs. However, a $250 million contract extension is paying him to perform at that level.

All the money owed on the current core, in addition to the team’s desires to bring in another star this summer, could complicate the ability to retain Terry Eason. Even if Eason returns, it will be one of the most expensive rosters in the NBA and has no postseason success to show for it.

crystal Palace Last summer Inter Milan’s Yann Bisek came calling and I was keen. Any deal this year is likely to be more complex.

Despite proving himself under Simone Inzaghi in the previous campaign, the German made a slow start to the current season.

The lack of action under Cristian Chivu led Crystal Palace to move to sign the defender. sports witness It was widely covered, as the Nerazzurri rejected two offers.

Furthermore, they had moved on to Benjamin Pavard and were unwilling to sell another right-sided defender at the end of the transfer window.

Things have now changed for the Germany international gazzetta dello sport Provide information about his condition.

Crystal Palace transfer very difficult now

The Italian newspaper has made it clear that a move to Crystal Palace was very close for Yann Bisek last summer. Oliver Glasner’s side put forward €30m but a final agreement was never reached between the two clubs.

Now, Chivu sees the defender as a vital part of his backline. This is particularly due to the 25-year-old’s versatility in the backline and the Romanian Bisek’s courage and recovery when defending.

This is why Inter no longer sees Bisek as a sellable unit. This was true to some extent last season but the player has convinced his club of a long-term future.

Even if Crystal Palace make a move for him this summer, they will struggle to land a defender.

Our take: Bisek may have overtaken Crystal Palace

Despite not always being consistent, Bisek is one of Inter’s most important players. Last season, he performed brilliantly in the Champions League, particularly impressing against Barcelona.

This season, he has also performed quite well as a ball-carrier, dazzling the opposition with his pace on the ball.

He is a proven-Champions League player who has already won silverware at the highest level. Crystal Palace don’t really offer this and if Bisek leaves Inter, he would want to move up or to the side.

armory Atletico Madrid are among the clubs pursuing Julian Alvarez ahead of the summer.

Over the past few weeks, the Spanish and French media regularly covered Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain as contenders for the striker.

On 13 April, Game Witness Covered claims from France Arsenal made an offer for the 26-year-old, without mentioning details.

A week later, we news broadcast from spain That Mikel Arteta’s team and PSG are tempting him. However, the Argentina international would love to move to Barcelona after this season.

The Gunners may keep a close eye on him in the Champions League semi-final against Los Rojiblancos. The first leg will take place in the Spanish capital on Wednesday.

There were doubts over the participation of the World Cup winners. However, this is no longer the case and he Will be available to face Arsenal.

Simeone responds to Arsenal link

Atletico manager Diego Simeone and Koke spoke at a pre-match press conference on Tuesday ahead of tomorrow’s clash. El Chiringuito took xFormerly known as Twitter, to broadcast the coach’s comments.

Asked about claims of interest from Premier League sides, Simeone has also talked about PSG and Barcelona.

“It is normal that a player like Julian is wanted by Arsenal, PSG and Barça,” He said.

In short, the north London club wants to sign a player of Julian Alvarez’s level, which does not surprise Simeone. The Gunners or any other club will have to spend big to secure this impressive signing in the next window.

Contracts, prices, statistics and agent information

Julian Alvarez has enjoyed regular minutes and impressed for the La Liga team since joining from Manchester City in August 2024.

To put this into context, he scored 48 goals and provided 17 assists in 102 appearances for Atlético Madrid. This includes 19 goals and nine assists in 47 matches this season.

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 22

Barcelona is keen to bring chelsea’s Marc Cucurella returned to the Camp Nou in the summer.

The left-back is a product of Barcelona’s renowned academy, La Masia, but has failed to cement a place in their first team.

Last November, he starred in Chelsea’s 3–0 Champions League win over Barcelona at Stamford Bridge.

At that time, sports witness Covered claims from Spain Barça’s disappointment at not being able to retain the 27-year-old.

Later that month, the Spain international said he was I am sad about not getting a chance at Barcelona. He left after only one first team appearance.

Brighton & Hove Albion brought him to the Premier League in 2021 and sold him to the Blues a year later.

After overcoming early struggles, the fullback has established himself as one of Chelsea’s key players. He won the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup with the west London club in 2025.

Barcelona talks about Chelsea star

Marc Cucurella is now back on Barcelona’s agenda for the summer. This is according to El Chiringuito, who adopted xFormerly known as Twitter, to share a report by journalist Jota Jordi.

El Chiringuito, via megaProvide more updates from the journalist on the La Liga winners’ interest in the Chelsea player.

They say the Catalan club want to sign the former Brighton & Hove Albion player to further improve their defence.

“There is one player that Barça knows well, he has come through their youth academy, and that is Cucurella. They have been talking about the player in the offices for the last few days,” He said.

Hansi Flick has Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin as his two left-backs. The former has already been linked with a move to a few Premier League sides. If Balde were to leave, the Spanish giants could use the money to try to sign Cucurella.

Our opinion: The Blues are unlikely to approve the sale

Mark Cucurella will have two years remaining on his contract after this season transfer market He is worth €50 million.

Earlier this month, Liam Rosenior was shown the door, and a permanent manager will be appointed for next season. If Barcelona are to make an approach for their former player, the incoming coach will have the right to have his say.

Either way, it will not be easy for the Catalan club to convince Chelsea to sell him.

During the 2025 college football season, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was easily one of the best players on the field. He not only won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given to the nation’s top elite QB in college football, but he also finished as a Heisman finalist.

Still, when it came to evaluating Pavia’s prospects, many thought the 5-foot-10 QB would not be drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft. They were right.

A total of 257 players were selected across the three-day event, but not Pavia. After the NFL Draft ended on Saturday, the race to sign him as an undrafted free agent began.

Yet, unlike hundreds of others who have already signed contracts, Pavia have taken a different path.

He has already agreed to participate in the Ravens’ rookie minicamp this weekend. However, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “if the Ravens don’t sign him other teams may also want to bring him in.”

Whatever happens, Pavia faces a tough road ahead. For now, he will compete for a chance to become the Ravens’ third-line QB behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Still, there may be more opportunities to come if things don’t work out well this weekend.

Pavia threw for 29 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season, while completing 70.6% of his passes. Pavia threw for another 862 yards and 10 touchdowns as a runner, demonstrating dual-threat ability. But he was in college; He still needs to prove himself in the NFL.

Atletico Nacional’s young player Jose Escorcia is on crystal Palace And brighton and hove albion Transfer radar.

The 16-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the Colombian club, but has nevertheless attracted the attention of Crystal Palace and Brighton.

Brighton has kept a close eye on the South American market over the past few years. Some signatories have become regulars at The Amex before moving elsewhere.

Alexis McAllister and Moises Caicedo are notable examples and moved to Liverpool and Chelsea respectively.

The Seagulls continue to spotlight young talent from South America. Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Argentina They have an interest in Chile’s Vicente Pizarro, who is at Rosario Central.

Crystal Palace and Brighton shown interest

Jose Escorcia is on the agenda for the Premier League pair and bolvaip Cover the latest from the Eagles and Fabian Herzeler. His headline suggests the forward is attracting interest from the Premier League.

In the report, they have mentioned Crystal Palace and Brighton as both teams looking to sign the Colombia U17 international.

Operating primarily on the left wing, he performed for his country at the U17 South American Championship.

The wonderkid scored four goals and provided two assists in six matches. This included a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Argentina in the tournament final earlier this month.

Crystal Palace and Brighton will have to be wary of other unnamed clubs in the transfer race. These teams can contact in the next few hours.

Atlético Nacional, on their end, ‘could receive a significant transfer fee’ for the young attacker. The report makes no mention of a fee or the Colombian club’s demand to sell him.

It is unclear whether Oliver Glasner’s team or Amex Club will make an offer any time soon.

Why do PL parties have to wait?

Jose Escorcia will turn 18 in July 2027 and due to post-Brexit rules, he will not be able to move to the UK until then.

In other words, if Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion or any other British club agree to a deal, it would be for the Colombian club to arrive next year.

On Friday, 23 veterans and prospects were released from their existing contracts in the latest round of WWE’s annual roster cuts. Some of the most notable names to be released this week were each member of the Wyatt Six, Kairi Sane, and wrestling power couple Aleister Black and Zelina Vega.

While this was bad news for those wrestlers, it does leave a group of interesting talents in pro wrestling free agency at a time when the industry is strong. All Elite Wrestling should seriously consider signing veteran performers soon. With that in mind, here are seven former WWE stars that AEW should target on the open market.

carry sen

AEW’s women’s division has come a long way over the years. However, that still pales in comparison to the absurd amount of talent on WWE’s roster. But WWE has just offered several talented female wrestlers that Tony Khan may want to quickly embrace. The most notable is Japanese veteran Kairi Sane.

Khan has mentioned being a fan of Sane in the past and has a clear love for the talent from the Land of the Rising Sun. While Sane may no longer be in her prime, she is still a good performer who one will have a lot of sympathy for as she was not given the chance to finish her long-running storyline with Asuka in WWE.

motor city machine gun

AEW probably has the best bell-to-bell wrestling in the world. Another thing they do well is highlight tag wrestling. This has been a weakness for WWE during the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era, and it’s why TNA legends the Motor City Machine Guns have had a disappointing run in the company.

When he hit free agency a few years ago, there were rumors that he might sign with AEW. A move back to TNA seems very unlikely, and there are far more interesting matchups for Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley in AEW as a team or singles.

alba fire

AEW has made huge inroads among European wrestling fans. That’s why they can go to Wembley Stadium every year and perform very well. Therefore, former Women’s Tag Champion Alba Fires should be a top target in free agency.

She is a strong wrestler and gives them another talent that attracts and keeps fans in the UK. Additionally, her former WWE tag partner, Isla Dawn, is already under the AEW umbrella.

Santos Escobar

AEW has strongly embraced its working relationship with Mexico’s CMLL as well as the Spanish-speaking audience. That’s why it would be wise to capture Santos Escobar. However, unlike most of the CMLL talent performing in AEW, Escobar is fluent in English and can connect with fans in both languages.

Furthermore, he is at his best right now and despite being a strong wrestler in the ring, he is underrated on the mic.

zoey stark

Zoey Stark was snake bitten by injuries during her tenure in WWE, including rupturing her knee ligaments twice. However, when healthy, she was one of the most athletic and skilled female wrestlers on the roster.

His latest knee injury has likely taken away his athletic gifts. However, at just 32 years old, she feels like a perfect fit for AEW and a great addition to the women’s division.

nikki cross

Nikki Cross is a talented performer who was treated poorly as a member of the Wyatt Six. Since WWE had trouble booking the unique group, he did not have a single match while a part of the faction. His wild character work is always entertaining, and he’s a rock-solid worker in the ring.

Additionally, like Alba Fires, she will be an addition that will not only strengthen the AEW women’s division but also strengthen the company’s relationship with UK Wrestling.

On Friday, 23 veterans and prospects were released from their existing contracts in the latest round of WWE’s annual roster cuts. Some of the most notable names to be released this week were each member of the Wyatt Six, Kairi Sane, and wrestling power couple Aleister Black and Zelina Vega.

While this was bad news for those wrestlers, it does leave a group of interesting talents in pro wrestling free agency at a time when the industry is strong. TNA Wrestling should consider signing contracts soon, including veteran performers. With that in mind, here are six former WWE stars that TNA should target on the open market.

apollo crew

At one time, Apollo Cruz was one of the must-see artists on the independent scene due to his impressive athleticism. More than a decade later, at the age of 38, Cruz is still an entertaining wrestler. But that was never his problem. It was always about finding a character that fans connect with and stick with for a while.

This is why he would be a better fit in TNA wrestling rather than battling the AEW roster for Best Match of the Night. TNA focuses a little more on character work, so if they find something that connects them with the audience, Crews could be a huge opportunity for promotion.

aleister black and zelina vega

The obvious assumption would be that, following his release, Aleister Black would return to AEW, where he found real success prior to his second stint in WWE. However, it would be wise for Carlos Silva to prioritize bringing Black and his wife Zelina Vega to TNA.

Their release this week surprised many as they were frequently used on SmackDown and seemed to be getting into a rhythm as characters. In TNA, this duo could be instantly catapulted to the top and become mainstays of the roster for the next few years, while also making some good money.

eric rowan

Erick Rowan has a useful talent for attacking enemies as a large monster. However, a performer like him doesn’t feel like a fit in this version of AEW. However, TNA could make better use of men like Rowan. They will be able to play to his strengths and get the most out of an artist whose prime years are still ahead of him.

Tyra Mae Steele

One of the other surprise releases by WWE this week was Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele. When the company signed her three years earlier, she was introduced as a future world champion and the female version of Kurt Angle. However, they may have felt that she was not developing at the pace they needed and dropped her.

He still needs further development, but has immense potential. TNA can help her become a better professional wrestler, and having a gold medalist would be a great addition to their women’s roster.

dexter loomis

Dexter Loomis has shown in the past that he can develop some strange but fun characters. Plus, he has great looks and is a very good athlete. TNA Wrestling seems like a perfect fit for a performer like Lumis, who needs time to let his character breathe. Also, rekindling their beloved history with Indi Hartwell in NXT but not in TNA would be a smart play.

RB Leipzig more likely to sign star Yann Diomande liverpool instead Manchester United in this summer.

BILD reports that he marks ‘Powerhouse’ Manchester United is cold at the moment. Why? Because their priority is to sign a replacement for Casemiro this summer.

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.

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.

ranger guys In recent years the market has increasingly looked to Portugal when searching for value, particularly for defenders who can develop into a first-team role without requiring a huge upfront investment.

This strategy makes players like Gilberto Batista special danny rohl’s rangers – Young, relatively affordable, and already showing signs of settling into the senior level.

The 22-year-old has quietly built a solid platform at Moriarty this season, which has attracted the attention of Ibrox. He has played 1,662 minutes in 25 league matches, which is approximately 66 minutes per appearance. These figures show that he is moving towards a regular presence in the team.

Their underlying data supports that progress. Gilberto Batista is recording an 88% pass completion rate and 83% dribble success rate. For centre-backs, this points to composure and confidence in possession.

Defensively, he averages 6.6 clearances per 90 minutes, showing consistent involvement in key moments at the back.

eyes from Danny Rohl’s ranger guys

Against that backdrop, Rangers’ interest begins to make more sense.

according to gameThe Scottish club are among those monitoring the defender, with Moreense already moving to protect his position. The Portuguese side have offered Gilberto Batista a new contract, even though his current deal runs until June 2027. The move reflects both his growth and increased external attention.

The same report states that the transfer could be made for around €3m (£2.6m), a figure that would immediately put the player within Rangers’ reach. This is also a type of fee that attracts many clubs once availability becomes apparent.

establishing oneself

Gilberto Batista’s rise has not gone unnoticed internally either. O’Jogo described him as a defensive mainstay, highlighting how his performances have also attracted the attention of the Black Knight Football Group.

That relationship is important. Morerain shares links with Bournemouth and Lorient, meaning there are already built-in paths for the player to progress across that network. As a result, no move will be straightforward for him, even at a relatively low price.

Still, the fact that the Morerans are now pushing for renewal suggests they are aware of the pressure building. Players without solid interest do not usually receive better offers at this stage.

what happens next

Gilberto Batista is moving into a phase where clubs need to make quick decisions. Wait too long and the price will go up. Move too fast and there is still some risk associated with its development.

For Rangers, the €3m (£2.6m) represents a calculated gamble rather than a major commitment. The profile matches what they often look for – young, high-performing and having already handled senior football.

Moreirense’s contract talks may delay things, but they also highlight the situation. The player is starting to establish himself, and usually that’s when interest turns into action.

West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes is a target for Paris Saint-Germain as Luis Campos continues to target the Portuguese talent for the Parisians.

Foot Mercato reports that P.S.G. Contact has already begun for the 21-year-old West Ham star regarding a possible move this summer.

PSG are in love with the Portuguese talent

The website reports that since Luis Campos took over at PSG, the Portuguese director has shown interest in recruiting his compatriot.

Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes are prime examples of his transfer strategy. And, according to FM information, he is targeting another Portuguese player in West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.

In fact, their interest has now increased to such an extent that contact has been established between the two parties.

The 21-year-old midfielder is considered a rising star, having impressed at West Ham this season after joining from Southampton last summer. Since that €44m move he has established himself as a key player for the Hammers.

agent link

Foot Mercato made no mention of how much PSG would be willing to pay for the West Ham star this summer. But he may have one factor in his favor: his relationship with Gestifute.

He currently represents Mateus Fernandes as well as several PSG stars. Vitinha, Joao Neves, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery and Gonçalo Ramos are all under his banner.

This means the Portuguese agency has strong links with the French giant. And, presumably, adding another customer to the list will bring a lot of joy.

However, West Ham would almost certainly block any deal. Fernandes has impressed since the summer and particularly under Nuno Espirito Santo. However, any deal will of course depend on their Premier League status.

If the Hammers avoid the drop, they will be able to resist any offer. However, relegation could lead to forced sales which PSG could take advantage of. Perhaps that’s why they have started talks now, laying the groundwork for a possible move this summer.

nottingham forest Heading into an important summer, and the John Victor situation is quietly becoming one to watch.

The Brazilian goalkeeper has not got many chances this season. Before suffering a knee injury that has kept him out of contention since the beginning of January, he has played just five Premier League matches with 438 minutes on the field.

according to that time footystatsJohn Victor has conceded 1.64 goals per 90 minutes and kept one clean sheet, giving them a 20% clean sheet rate. It’s not a huge sample, but it shows how difficult it has been for him to create any rhythm.

It’s also worth remembering how he arrived. Nottingham Forest sign John Victor After a month long saga This included John Textor and West Ham United, so there was real competition for them at the time.

That’s why this next window seems important. With limited minutes so far and a nagging injury, it may be a matter of whether he remains part of Forest’s plans or begins to look elsewhere.

according to espn brazilCruzeiro have made an initial move to explore a deal for John Victor. It is still very early, and the interactions are being described as “embryonic”.

Keep the key to Nottingham Forest

John Victor is in no rush to return to Brazil. The report adds that he wants to wait until he is fit and see what Nottingham Forest are planning to do before making any decisions.

His priority is to stay in Europe. Furthermore, he still has ambitions to make the Brazilian team, so it makes sense to remain in a competitive environment.

This brings the focus back to one. If they see him as part of their plans, it probably doesn’t go very far. But given how little he has played, it’s fair to wonder what exactly his role will be next season.

Cruzeiro, meanwhile, has a clear reason for the move. Their first-choice goalkeeper, Cassio, suffered a serious knee injury in March and is not expected to return until 2027. His replacement, Matheus Cunha, has stepped in but hasn’t really convinced.

A familiar face is also included in this. Cruzeiro manager Artur Jorge wants John Victor back after working with him at Botafogo, where they won the Copa Libertadores in 2024.

what happens next

Now, this is not a complete conversation. Cruzeiro is just testing the waters.

Still, situations like this can escalate quickly, especially when a player is not getting regular minutes. If Nottingham Forest does not provide a clear route, more interest may arise.

For now, John Victor is waiting. And Forrest will soon have to decide what they really want to do with him.

liverpool Tottenham Hotspur’s Randal will challenge Juventus in their pursuit of Kolo Muani in the summer.

Last summer, Tottenham took the striker on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, who refused to return him to Juventus.

Tottenham have no obligation or option to make his stay permanent, and he must return to PSG. The 27-year-old could remain in the Premier League by switching to Liverpool.

Arne Slot’s side have not been weakened by their failure to impress for Tottenham in the league.

The frontman’s Premier League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 25
• Total minutes: 1,382
• Target: 1
• Help: 1
• Expected target: 1.89
• Expected Support: 1.49

On Tuesday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Italy That the Reds have joined the race to sign him is bad news for Juventus.

Liverpool complicate matters for Juventus

gazzetta dello sport Pick it up now and cover the latest on the Anfield club and the Old Lady.

The newspaper says Liverpool are considering Randle Kolo Muani to replace Mohamed Salah, who will depart after this season.

‘Alarm bells are ringing’ at Juventus as Liverpool ‘have shown intense interest’ in the France international.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at the Turin club, failing to extend his stay. This allowed Tottenham to sign him, but the Serie A team are pursuing him again in the summer. He has always expressed his desire to join the Italian club.

Gazzetta say the striker earns €7m a year and is valued at €35m, and both are within Juve’s reach. Matters have been complicated by the Merseyside club’s involvement in the race.

Liverpool’s solid interest in Kolo Muani forces Juventus to make a counter-move. The latter have no choice but to accelerate contact with their camp to try to defeat the Reds.

Champions League qualification will make it relatively easy for Juventus to fend off competition from Liverpool. They are now fourth in the table and five points ahead of fifth-placed Como.

Our view: Kolo Muani will replace Ekitike as the mainstay

Randal Kolo Muani has operated primarily as a number 9 and has operated on both wings at times.

Mohamed Salah’s preferred role at Liverpool is on the right wing and therefore, it makes no sense to replace the Tottenham Hotspur man in his place.

Meanwhile, Kolo Munai could be a suitable replacement for Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike, who will be out for a long time after suffering a serious setback earlier this month.

Aston VillaManchester United and Liverpool are competing for Khefren Thuram, as Juventus now look ahead to a potential renewal.

This year, sports witness Premier League interest in the Frenchman has become a key figure in Turin.

He has played 41 times in all competitions this season, really thriving as a ball-carrier from midfield. Thuram has also contributed with eight goals in the campaign, while also showing his importance in the Champions League.

He has become one of the best midfielders in Serie A. It poses a significant challenge for the Old Lady, who will now have to battle opponents in the summer.

Aston Villa, along with Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly trying to pry Thuram off Juve.

Juve is working on renewal

tuttosport Reports regarding the 25-year-old have made it clear that the Bianconeri are not letting Khefren Thuram go easily.

He has scheduled a meeting with his agent Misa N’Diaye to discuss a possible renewal. The Frenchman’s current deal expires in the summer of 2029 and he wants to make a move as soon as possible in the summer.

That’s because the sirens of Aston Villa, Manchester United and Liverpool have only increased. All three clubs really admire the midfielder and could make offers in the summer.

To ensure there is no temptation for Thuram, Juve are also offering him a big pay rise. he currently earns €2.4 million per season but they are happy to pay him €4 million per season in the hope that he will be open to the idea of ​​staying beyond the current campaign.

The ex-Nice player is also seen as ‘untouchable’ and would be happy to stay in Turin.

Aston Villa should keep pursuing Thuram

The TuttoSport article seems like an attempt to praise Thuram’s agent, who also represents Jeremy Boga. Interestingly, Aston Villa’s Boubacar Kamara is also part of Ndiaye’s squad and is one of his most valuable players at the moment.

There’s clearly a working relationship there and it could be something the villains can take advantage of.

It will be especially interesting if Juve fails to qualify for the Champions League. They are currently fourth in the table but the race is not yet decided, Como are five points behind them.

Aston Villa are in need of a midfield signing and Thuram could prove to be the perfect fit if given the chance.

The 2026 NFL Draft begins Thursday night. Since the Carolina Panthers went 8-9 in the playoffs last season, they will have the 19th pick in the first round.

Still, before the Panthers head into the draft, general manager Dan Morgan is making some small changes to the roster.

According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Panthers signed 31-year-old journeyman backup quarterback Will Grier.

The 100th overall pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft spent last season with the Cowboys, but he has not thrown a live pass since 2019. That’s when he made the only two appearances of his pro career, leading the Panthers to two losses while completing 53.8% of his passes for 228 yards and four interceptions.

Grier has bounced from the Panthers, to the Cowboys, to the Bengals, to the Patriots, to the Chargers, to the Eagles, to the Cowboys again, and now the Davidson, North Carolina native is back to the team that drafted him in Carolina.

This will be Grier’s second stint with the Panthers, where he will now be the third-line QB behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett. It’s possible another QB will join them in the next few days to provide even more competition. The Panthers have seven selections in the NFL Draft, and could always add an undrafted rookie as a camp arm who can learn from Grier’s NFL journey.
