arsenal impressed

According to the newspaper, Arsenal and Mikel Arteta were impressed by Maxi Araujo’s performance against them in the recent Champions League.

His performances caught the attention of Arteta and he identified the 26-year-old as a first-choice target. The Gunners also expect competition so have ‘moved from words to action.’

Initial contacts have already taken place with Araújo and his representatives. At present the talks are nothing more than an ‘exploratory approach’.

Sporting, aware of the growing interest in Araújo and Arsenal’s approach, have been clear about the protection of their asset. He has a release clause set at €80 million, but will negotiate below that. However, they will not go below €60m.

battle of london

Arsenal aren’t the only curious team in the Premier League. Chelsea and Tottenham have recently sent scouts To see the defender in action against Porto.

As did Arsenal’s rivals Atlético Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. Scouts regularly attend sports games to watch Uruguay play.

In the recent transfer window, both Atalanta and Napoli also made inquiries about Sporting’s number 20. It is believed that Juventus and Milan are also keeping an eye on him.

In such a situation, Arsenal may have to face tough and high-level competition for his signature. It appears they are aware of this and are already taking steps to get ahead of the competition, especially in London.

Whether they will do a deal for €60m is debatable. With Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Miles Lewis-Skelley already at left back, the Gunners do not need to strengthen in that position this summer.

But they are clearly interested in Maxi Araujo, who has, according to records, greatly impressed Mikel Arteta.

armory They have already set their sights on Club Brugge star Nicolo Tresoldi for the summer.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been making contact with the striker. The same source said the striker is ready to leave for around €25-30m.

The 21-year-old left Bayern 96 for Club Brugge in June 2025 and starred in his debut season.

To put it into context, he has scored 18 goals and provided six assists in 52 games so far this season.

His Jupiler Pro League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 34
• Start: 23
• Total minutes: 2,042
• Minutes per game: 60
• Target: 14
• Assist: 3
• Expected target: 12.67
• Expected target: 2.47
• Big chances made: 5
• Big chances missed: 13

The Italian-born Germany U21 international’s impressive performances have put Arsenal and others on notice.

Arsenal wants to sign striker

Nicolo Tresoldi has not made his senior debut for Germany and is also eligible to play for Italy. He may get a call from the Azzurri to represent their senior team but it is unclear whether the player is ready for it or not.

is according to TuttoMercatoWebWho has mentioned this in a report focused on Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta’s side want to bring him to the Emirates in the summer. TMW say it is their own information and report that the Gunners are ‘ready to write a €30 million cheque’ to sign the Club Brugge star.

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is ‘already in contact’ with Jupiler Pro League side to discuss a potential deal. There is no mention of whether he is open to a switch to the north London club in the next window.

Why are the gunners looking at Tresoldi?

Mikel Arteta has three options to lead his team’s attack, Victor Gyöckeres, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian could move on after this season and if that happens, Nicolo Tresoldi could replace Jesus at Arsenal. They are mainly looking at him as a backup to Gyokres.

Contract, price and agent information

The Club Brugge frontman will have three years left on his contract at the end of this season and according to his value transfer marketIs €13m.

He is represented by agency 11Vince with agents Christian Schmid, Stephan Callas and Louis Downing.

It was highly anticipated that the New York Giants would take the Ohio State Buckeye with the fifth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. But few expected it to be linebacker Arvel Reese.

Many were expecting Reese to be taken second or third overall, but when he slipped and was still on the board with the Giants, the team did not hesitate to draft him.

The 6’4 243-pound linebacker had 69 tackles and six and a half sacks in his final season at Ohio State in 2025, and was a unanimous All-American. The selection comes as a surprise as the team already has Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux. But he played inside linebacker before 2025. It will ultimately be up to defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson to find ways to utilize Reese’s potential to ensure he has a successful rookie season.

Following Reese’s selection, the team took right tackle Francis Mauigoa of the University of Miami with pick 10.^th Overall selection. Mauigoa appeared in 42 games in his three years at Miami. Although the 6’5 329-pound All-American tackle was viewed by many as the best tackle in the league, it was also a bit of a surprise. The team re-signed right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to a three-year, $39 million contract this offseason, and Mauigoa is nursing a herniated disc.

But the team clearly isn’t worried about his injury history, and they would like to move him or Eluemunor inside to play the guard role. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds during training camp.

What we learned from the giants in Round 1

For several months, New York was primed for Caleb Downs and could potentially take him with the first pick, or with the 10.^th Which they acquired by trading Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals. But it appeared to be a blurry screen as the team passed him twice.

Downs will try to show that New York made a mistake by leaving him, as he will play with them twice a year since the Dallas Cowboys took him with the 11 pick.^th Overall selection.

With the selection of Reese it is clear that Kayvon Thibodeaux’s time in New York is coming to an end. He is entering the final year of his contract, and his role with Burns and Carter on the roster was already in question. Now with another premier pass rusher on the team, expect the team to move on from the 25-year-old edge rusher.

The Giants currently do not have a third-round pick and could try to trade Thibodaux on the second day of the draft to acquire one. New York’s next pick will be 37th overall, where they can take either a wide receiver or defensive tackle.

Everton are set to complete a permanent €23 million contract with Merlin Rohl after avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

football transfersrelaying information from kickerReport that a mandatory buyout clause for the 23-year-old is now ready to be activated.

Everton earns form transfer

According to the newspapers, Everton agreed a permanent deal for Merlin Rohl last summer When he joined on loan from SC Freiburg.

The Toffees paid an initial €2m loan fee, but also agreed a mandatory clause of €23m if they managed to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

That compulsion to buy has now started. Everton are currently 10^th On 47 points in the table; 16 points ahead of Tottenham in 18^th. With only five games remaining in the season, they are mathematically safe. Thus, the buyout clause for Rohal has now come into effect.

They will now be forced to pay an additional €23m for Rohl, despite him only appearing sporadically this season. Freyberg is just waiting for the money to come.

everton position question

Meanwhile, Everton will likely look back at a deal they regret. Marilyn Rohl arrived from Germany with a solid reputation. But he has barely featured under David Moyes this season.

While there have been impressive cameos, the Everton manager’s preferred midfield trio of Idrissa Gueye, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has meant Rohl has spent the majority of the season sitting on the bench.

Even Tim Iroegbunam and Harrison Armstrong appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Whenever he was given a chance, there were glimpses of talent, but it was very limited. €25 million for a midfielder who has made 358 appearances in a total of 12 minutes is certainly not ideal.

Whether he can carry on next season after a year of acclimatising in England remains to be seen. Either way, Everton will pay €23m for him at some point in the coming weeks.

swansea city Continue to keep Toulouse FC’s Franck Magri on your radar for the summer.

Zane Vipotnik has been leading the Championship side’s attack this season.

The Slovenian striker has performed brilliantly, scoring 24 goals and providing three assists in 47 matches.

His future remains uncertain and earlier this week, Vitor Matos admitted that Vipotnik could leave after this season.

He said: : “Now, obviously, we work within a reality where selling players is always an important factor. You always have to be prepared for the possibility that offers may come that the club considers worth accepting.”

Swansea City maintained interest

Faced with this possibility, Swansea City have already decided to take action and have set their sights on the Toulouse player.

is according to Africa FootWho cover the latest on the Welsh club’s efforts to try to sign him.

Frank Magri was already on his agenda in the winter market, and the Swans had also made an approach. The club also attempted to sign him last summer by offering €4m. It is unclear why the deal did not go through, but they have retained their interest.

Swansea City have identified France-born Cameroon international as a potential successor to Zane Vipotnik.

The Ligue 1 striker’s contract expires in June and he looks to start a new phase of his career next season. This is a market opportunity for Vitor Matos’ side, who have already ‘expressed interest’ in him.

As well as Championship side, Angers SCO are also keen on the frontman. Therefore, Swansea City will have to battle with the Ligue 1 side to secure his signature.

The report made no mention of whether the Welsh club would sign Magri if Vipotnik stayed.

Prices, stats and agent information

Franck Magri has scored five goals and provided one assist in 17 Ligue 1 matches this season.

He has not appeared in any match since January as he had to spend 72 days out of the field due to a knee injury. The frontman appears to have recovered from the blow but was left out of the squad for the last two league matches.

Bayern Munich’s interest newcastle unitedAnthony Gordon is serious and could help them further challenge the ‘farmers’ league’ narrative around the Bundesliga.

evening newspaper munich Report today on the potential transfer and how, if it happens, it would be the latest Bayern transfer to challenge the long-established narrative.

Bayern Munich’s interest is increasing

The newspaper reports that Anthony Gordon’s performances for Newcastle United this season have sparked interest from Bayern.

The 25-year-old has been directly involved in 22 goals in 46 games and is the ‘linchpin’ of Newcastle’s attack. He has particularly impressed in the Champions League, with only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe being more successful.

This has attracted top clubs such as Bayern. Following several other reports in England and Germany, AZ confirmed that Bayern are ‘seriously considering’ the Newcastle star.

They value Gordon’s versatility as he can play in a front three. But there is also a marketing element to it.

Kisan League is no more

As far as the newspaper is concerned, the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United would show how attractive Bayern Munich have become for ‘top international players’.

The Bundesliga will also benefit in terms of marketing. It is often derided as a ‘Farmers’ League’, but Gordon’s arrival will increase the feeling that this is not the case.

Bayern have already released Harry Kane and Michael Olise from the Premier League. He would be the third coming, and proof that the Bundesliga can compete for top names. Both players have hit greater heights since their moves to Munich and Gordon could do the same.

The same can be said about Luis Diaz. He swapped Premier League champions Liverpool for Bayern last summer and hasn’t looked back since. Top players are attracted to the Bundesliga and Gordon would be the latest player to make that change.

The question is what price Bayern is willing to pay. Newcastle are reported to be worth £75 million. This is a top figure for a 25-year-old who, despite good numbers, has often managed to cheat.

But the German champions may consider it a price worth paying. According to Edge, the move has a lot of additional benefits.

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

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

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

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

The 27-year-old will leave Tottenham Hotspur and return to PSG after this season. He no longer has a future under Luis Enrique with the Ligue 1 winners and will be on the move again.

Kolo Muani spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus. He wanted to return last summer, but could not reach an agreement with Serie A side PSG. The Old Lady wants to make another attempt after this season.

Liverpool have entered the race, and will be ‘willing to accelerate’ their efforts to secure his services. This is ‘bad news’ for the Italian club.

Should the Anfield club get his signature, it would be a blow to Luciano Spalletti’s team and their fans, who have been dreaming of his return.

Liverpool star Hugo Akitié suffered a serious injury during last week’s Champions League defeat to PSG.

Akitike will be on the sidelines for a long time and this will force the slot team to sign a new striker. It remains to be seen whether he will be a Tottenham player or another number 9.

Considering the financial conditions, the La Liga winners will not be able to compete with Chelsea.

Barcelona’s project and their plan for Seydou Dembélé could potentially reassure them, both in the short and medium term. It should be made clear if this move goes ahead in the next few weeks.

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

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

Strong start builds long-term Zuffa commitment

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

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

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

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

Deal sets new direction by separating from Matchroom

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

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

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

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

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

west ham united And leeds united Stade Rennais are among the Premier League teams pursuing Jaoui Cisse for the summer.

Two months ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from France Leeds United had initiated contact with him to sign him.

Daniel Farke’s side are not alone as West Ham and other clubs are keen to acquire the services of the 22-year-old.

The midfielder came through the ranks of the Ligue 1 side’s youth system and forced his way into their first team in 2024. He has made 38 appearances so far and 22 are from this season.

His Ligue 1 statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 21
• Start: 12
• Total minutes: 959
• Interceptions per game: 0.3
• Tackles per game: 1.5
• Possession won (final third): 0.3
• Balls recovered per game: 2.4
• Clearance per game: 0.2
• Blocked shots per game: 0.2
• Duels won per game: 2.5

Despite his limited number of appearances, he is attracting interest from West Ham, the Whites and other clubs.

The tussle between West Ham and Leeds United

Africa Foot The latest from Nuno Espirito Santo, cover the interest of Leeds United and other Premier League sides in Jaoui Cisse.

Bayer Leverkusen are also keen and are top targets to secure his signature in the next window.

The Bundesliga side have made a move and the Stade Rennais player is in favor of a move to Germany. A permanent transfer is being considered in the summer for a fee between €15m and €20m, including bonuses.

However, Bayer Leverkusen will have to be wary of stiff competition from West Ham and the Elland Road club. The Premier League pair are ‘preparing an offer’, with the report not specifying how much fee they plan to offer.

Aston Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on the France U21 international.

Our opinion: Loss for West Ham and the Whites

West Ham are 17th in the table, two points above 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur and four points behind 15th-placed Leeds United.

Bayer Leverkusen are fifth in the Bundesliga, 10 points ahead of seventh-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. He is most likely to play in Europe next season given both the Hammers and Whites cannot offer Jooui Cisse.

This gives the German club, who are now in pole, a clear lead over the Premier League pair. Had Arsenal or Aston Villa made solid progress this might not have happened.

Cissé’s contract expires in 2030, and transfer market He is worth €15 million.

Chelsea are heading into a summer where their midfield plans are already being shaped by uncertainty around Enzo Fernandez, and the situation is starting to affect goals across Europe.

The Argentine remains a central figure at Stamford Bridge in terms of minutes and responsibility. However, there are increasing signs of instability around him.

Reports in recent weeks have revealed that Enzo has hinted wish to live in madrid At some point in his career. This has naturally attracted attention, but also created tension internally.

There have been suggestions that his relationship with Liam Rosenior has cooled, particularly following the manager’s reaction. At the same time, the midfielder is seen to be undergoing a greater personal decline in positive influence around the club.

As we covered earlierPeace seems to be restored, but Enzo creates a lot of smoke. And of course none of this signals an immediate exit, but it does explain why Chelsea are preparing for different outcomes.

That preparation has now led him to Victor Frohold.

The FC Porto midfielder has quickly gone from being a smart signing to one of the most talked-about young players in Europe.

At the age of 20, he has become an important part of Francesco Farioli’s system and is one of the most used players in the team. He appeared in 44 of Porto’s 46 matches, accumulating 3,466 minutes. Only Diogo Costa and Jan Bednarek have played more.

There has also been a jump in his output. Fröholdt has seven goals and seven assists this season, already surpassing his previous best numbers at FC Copenhagen. He’s also on track to surpass his career highs in minutes and games played, underscoring how quickly his role has grown.

Chelsea’s interest and increasing competition

The rise of Victor Froholdt did not go unnoticed. in portugal, morning mail The report comes as Chelsea are one of a number of clubs keeping an eye on him, with their interest directly linked to the uncertainty surrounding Enzo Fernandez’s future.

The important thing is that this is not a club race. The Portuguese newspaper says teams from England, Spain, Italy and Germany are pursuing the midfielder. That level of competition strengthens Porto’s position.

Chelsea scouts have already had the chance to take a closer look at Froholdt. The Blues were among the clubs that had representatives in the stands During Porto’s recent Europa League clash against Nottingham Forest in England. That match provided them another chance to assess against stronger opposition.

His profile is in line with Chelsea’s expectations. Froholdt is a high-intensity midfielder who can operate as both a number six and number eight. That tactical flexibility makes him a natural choice in an ever-evolving team.

The club have repeatedly made moves into the Portuguese market in recent years, including deals for Giovanny Quenda and Dario Essugo, which together brought around £63m (€73m) to Sporting. Fröholdt is now firmly on that path.

Porto sets values ​​and long-term vision

Victor Frohold is not being put in line for a concessional transfer. Correio da Manha has made it clear that Porto will only consider offers close to his £73m (€85m) release clause.

The club’s stance goes beyond simple resistance. There is speculation internally that the freehold could become the biggest sale in Porto’s history.

The current benchmark sits around €60m from deals involving players like Otavio and Nico Gonzalez. Frohold is seen as someone who could surpass that figure.

Porto’s priority is to keep him for at least one more season. However, they are also aware of the increasing market pressure.

He was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham last year, but talks were not concrete and at one point it was even said the player “Aiming higher” than Spurs.. This could be a good opportunity.

The midfielder joined from FC Copenhagen for £17.2m (€20m), plus an additional £1.7m (€2m). The Danish club also secured 10% of any future profits, which adds another layer to any negotiations.

what happens next

Victor Froholdt’s situation now largely depends on how Chelsea’s midfield develops in the coming months.

If Enzo Fernandez remains in place and regains stability, the club may delay any major moves. If the current uncertainty develops further, freehold is already positioned as a leading option.

Porto are holding firm. With interest growing across Europe and players raising their standards, any club will need to come close to the full £73m (€85m) to proceed.

For Chelsea, it’s about being prepared for whatever comes next.

Manchester CityBernardo Silva and ‘Liverpool’Alison finds her future uncertain. There is a possibility that they will unite at Juventus next season.

last week, sports witness Covered the Old Lady’s initial approach to the goalkeeper. The Brazilian had expressed his desire to join, even though he signed a new deal with the Reds last month.

As far as midfielders are concerned, Juve has made initial contact Also with his agent Jorge Mendes. They face competition from Barcelona but the Italian side remain firmly in the race.

With Luciano Spalletti himself now having signed a contract extension, Juve’s plans for the summer are ramping up.

Sporting director Damien Comolli was asked about the Liverpool and Manchester City stars and he revealed a lot about the Bianconeri’s intentions.

Duo may be keen on deal

french spoke gazzetta dello sport From a Juventus event yesterday. He was asked about the club’s plans for the future and the decision to hand Spalletti a new contract.

Interestingly, Alison and Bernardo also emerged as themes. Comolli indicated that both players were interested in a move to the Bianconeri even without Champions League football.

Smiling he said: “Bernardo Silva and Alisson? I won’t mention names (smiles). But yes, Juve always have the allure of attracting champions. What surprises me so far is that not every player we have spoken to has said, ‘I will only come if you reach the Champions League.’ “Players want to come to Juventus because it’s Juventus.”

The conversation didn’t end there as Comolli also spoke specifically about the Manchester City midfielder. He clarified that Juve is not the only one chasing free agents

“I hold him up as a good example, but he also hadn’t won a lot before joining City. We’re not necessarily looking for players who have won or necessarily free agents, but we’re looking for guys who have the personality to be successful and who can help young players become winners.”

Our Opinion: Strong competition is coming

It’s fair to say that Alisson’s Liverpool future should not be as uncertain as his Manchester City counterpart. The goalkeeper’s contract at Anfield expires in 2027 and he will not have to rush into a decision.

Even if Juventus are keen, there is a strong possibility that they will miss out on the Champions League. This would deprive Alison of earning as much as he would like, forcing him to take a pay cut.

As for Bernardo, things won’t be easy for the Old Lady. He is still 31 years old and is still doing very reliable work for Manchester City.

That is why he appeals to many clubs should he want to pursue European football and offer him higher wages than the Italian sides.

So even if Comolli could go the ‘Juve is Juve’ path, this could be a way to promote the club among the players. The truth is that both deals will not be easy.

liverpool TSG Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Toure is on his target list for the summer.

Mohamed Salah will leave Anfield at the end of this season, and the Reds will have to bring in a replacement.

The young player does not have a release clause, which allows Hoffenheim to set the price. In the event of a sale, the German club are demanding a club-record fee. Their current record is €43.5m from the sale of Joelinton to Newcastle United in 2019.

In other words, Liverpool would have to pay more than €43.5m to secure the services of Toure in the next window.

Hoffenheim sporting director Andreas Schicker hinted at this during a conversation with Sky last Friday.

“Bazou has developed very well. We brought him from Sweden a year and a half ago.” He said.

Los Blancos are second in the table, seven points behind leaders Barcelona. They lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals earlier this week. In short, the Madrid club risks finishing without silverware this season.

tottenham star could be the solution

Alvaro Arbeloa now has Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao, Raul Asensio, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba as his five centre-backs. The latter two are under contract until June while Militao continues to struggle with injuries.

Hansi Flick’s side have made the 26-year-old their priority target and have been in constant contact with his agent via telephone throughout this season.

Barca sporting director Deco and representatives of the World Cup winners want to avoid meeting in public to avoid upsetting Atletico.

At the moment, Los Rojiblancos are refusing to sell and if a sale does happen, negotiations will be done directly with the clubs, without the involvement of intermediaries.

Despite this, the Camp Nou side are not giving up. Their former sporting director, Matteo Alemany, is now in Madrid, and Barca hope their good relationship with him can help them in the Alvarez operation.

Diego Simeone’s side, for their part, intend to offer an extension to the South American. They know it will not be easy, perhaps because of the interest from Barcelona, ​​Mikel Arteta’s side and PSG.

Atletico are ‘fully aware’ that their agent is listening to offers from other clubs and is in talks with Deco.

Sport is quick to mention Arsenal and Ligue 1 winners, as both of these clubs are still in the hunt. It is unclear whether these two teams have submitted offers to his agent.

Barcelona are keen to sign him but are well aware that a potential move would depend on their own finances. That won’t be the case for the Gunners and PSG.

Sport concluded its report by saying that this soap opera ‘is far from being resolved any time soon, it has only just begun.’

Back in January, Sport Witness broadcast news After Jeremy Frimpong failed, Liverpool tried to sign him in the winter market. However, despite the Reds’ approach no deal could be reached.

Earlier this month, we Covered claims from Italy Aston Villa’s replacement as a right-back.

Liverpool and Aston Villa are not the only teams in the Premier League, but Manchester United and Newcastle United are also involved.

The Netherlands international has been first-choice for the Serie A team since joining from PSV Eindhoven for €12.5m in August 2021.

He suffered an ankle injury in November, which forced him to spend 103 days off the field. This has limited his playing time for the Nerazzurri this season.

His Serie A statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 15
• Start: 12
• Total minutes: 1,020
• Minutes per game: 68

PL sides keen for Dumfries

The Interista The 29-year-old will reportedly be one of the most talked-about names in the next window as he is yet to finalize his Inter Milan future.

Denzel Dumfries has ‘very strong interest’ in the Premier League, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa his favourites. These clubs are queuing up to secure his services in the summer.

The Italian club, for their part, want to offer him a one-year extension worth €5m net per year. His current contract includes a €25m release clause payable at one time. Cristian Chivu’s side want to get rid of this clause with a new contract.

For now, the Dutchman is focused on finishing the season with Inter Milan, seven points ahead of second-placed Napoli in the Serie A table.

Contract, price and agent information

Denzel Dumfries turns 30 at the end of this month and is under contract with Inter Milan until 2028. transfer market He is now valued at €25m, which is €10m less than in June 2025.

Jan Ziolkowski is slowly emerging as a potential target newcastle unitedSaw his playing time at AS Roma come to an end.

The Polish defender has featured for just under 40 minutes since February, despite performing regularly on a regular basis. He has played 14 times in Serie A, as well as a total of eight times in the Europa League.

At one point he looked like he was winning over Gian Piero Gasperini Ziolkowski took a while to adjust but he soon fitted in well into the Italian’s trademark back three.

His situation is now attracting the attention of Newcastle United, who have already dispatched officials to keep an eye on the centre-back.

Newcastle United transfer interest ahead of summer

Sport.pl reports that if the 20-year-old’s situation does not change, there is every possibility that he could leave Roma in the summer.

The outlet noted how well he has progressed this season, despite few expecting him to make an impression. Ivan Ndika impressed when he was at the African Cup of Nations but his game time proved unsustainable. Even with the Ivorians, the youngster did a lot to win over the fans.

Because of this, he has also become a part of the Poland national team, which shows that his stock has definitely risen.

If things don’t change, a move to Newcastle United could be possible. Magpies’ scouts have watched him ‘several times’ and there is also interest from Italy, France and the Netherlands.

A source told game: : “We are considering every move that would allow Janáček to play. That includes leaving.”

The same source also said that Ziolkowski has been training well but has not been getting enough game time as a result.

“He hasn’t displeased the coach. He’s been training very well, has the best performance results of his career, and has also put in a lot of physical effort.”

Our Thought: Maybe pressure for more playing time

sports witness Newcastle United’s interest in Daniel Gilardi has already been covered. So if Eddie Howe’s side have kept an eye on the Italian, it would be no surprise if Ziolkowski caught their eye too. This is no shock as it is quite difficult to quickly adopt Gasperini’s ideas at a young age.

Even if the Magpies like him, this could be an attempt to force more game time.

For now, Newcastle United should keep a close eye on the young player and his development. He has clearly promised, even if it is too early for him to go to England. How he progresses his development over the next few months could determine everything about his future.

burnley Barcelona have failed in their transfer attempt to bring goalkeeper Joan Garcia to the Premier League.

The Spain international arrived at the Camp Nou from Espanyol in June 2025 for €25m.

Burnley boss Alan Pace also owns Espanyol from October 2025 and had tried to sign Garcia for the Clarets before taking charge.

James was number 1 at Trafford Turf Moor and starred for the Clarets last season. He played a key role in Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League.

His excellent performances allowed him to return to Manchester City in July 2025, with Gianluigi Donnarumma at the helm.

Following the Trafford exit Burnley looked for a new stopper and eventually signed Martin Dubravka on a free transfer.

Burnley wanted the Barcelona star

Before joining Barcelona last summer, Joan Garcia attracted interest from Newcastle United.

At the beginning of the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain That he was tempted to join the Magpies.

Eddie Howe’s side were not the only team to miss out on the 24-year-old as Burnley also wanted him.

This is as of Tuesday’s edition sports worldAnd their headline said ‘Alan Pace wants Joan Garcia for Burnley’.

In the report, the newspaper says the Clarets owner made an approach for Garcia last summer. At the time, the American did not own Espanyol. Paes took this step after James Trafford was out.

Garica choosing Barca over Burnley is no surprise

There is no mention in the newspaper as to why the deal did not go through and who rejected Burnley.

Whatever the reason, it should come as no surprise that the appeal of joining Barcelona is far greater than that of Scott Parker’s team.

Joan Garcia has been No. 1 under Hansi Flick, replacing Marc-Andre ter Stegen at the Camp Nou.

He started in 37 matches for the La Liga winners this season, keeping 15 clean sheets and conceding 36 goals. The Spaniard is competing for the league and the Champions League, which would not have been possible at Burnley.

The Clarets are 19th in the Premier League table, 10 points behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Martin Dubravka, who has been Burnley’s No. 1 this season, has four clean sheets and conceded 61 goals in 31 league matches.

barcelona knows liverpool And chelsea Interest in RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande for the summer.

The winger’s development in the Bundesliga team has been noticed by clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Barça and many more.

Leipzig signed him from CD Leganés in July 2025 for €20m, and he has already starred this season.

To put this in context, Diomande has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 30 matches so far.

His Bundesliga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 22
• Total minutes: 1,958
• Expected target: 6.05
• Expected Support: 7.43
• Big chances created: 11
• Big chances missed: 5
• Goal conversion: 23%

The Ivory Coast international’s rise in Germany has already attracted the attention of Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona. In January, he issued a come-and-get-me petition in favor of Arne Slot, expressing his desire to move to Anfield.

At that time, he Said: : “I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!”

Liverpool and Chelsea keen

game Barcelona report interest in Yann Diomande, as part of plans to strengthen their attack next season.

Scouts from the Catalan club have been following him since his time at Leganes, and his performances this season have seen his valuation rise to €70m.

Two months ago, Khel Witness Cexaggerated claims from germany RB Leipzig may need up to €100m.

Either way, the €70m price tag for Hansi Flick is also too high. At the moment, there is no option for his arrival as several Premier League sides, ‘notably Liverpool and Chelsea’, are ready to offer more than €60m.

This did not stop the Spanish giants from asking about his situation and the conditions required to sign him.

Barça want to establish themselves, but a move is only possible if one of their current attackers receives an offer they cannot refuse. In that case, the Blaugrana would try to sign the 19-year-old player.

On the other hand, if the price is around €60-70m, then both Liverpool and Chelsea have no concerns.

Our opinion: Reds have edge over Chelsea

Mohamed Salah has already confirmed his decision to leave Anfield after this season. Liverpool must bring in a replacement and Yann Diomande, who primarily operates on the right wing, has been identified as a target.

On 26 March, Game Witness broadcast news Liverpool are looking to make a move for the RB Leipzig star. Sport Now Chelsea is also preparing to make an offer.

The attacker has publicly stated that he wants to play for the Merseyside club. This gives Liverpool a clear advantage over Chelsea or any other club should the Reds be willing to acquire his services.

Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth are among the clubs pursuing the transfer of AS Monaco goalkeeper Yannis Benchouch.

The 19-year-old joined Monaco’s academy on a free transfer in July 2021 after a stint with Trelissac FC Jugend.

He was initially part of the Monaco U17 side and, a year later, joined their U19 team. Since 2023, the stopper has been representing Monaco U21, but is yet to make his first-team debut.

Despite this, he has attracted the attention of Aston Villa, Bournemouth and other clubs.

Two months ago, Sports Witness broadcast news That Andoni Ierola’s side failed to sign him in the winter market. The Cherries are not giving up and face a battle with the Villans.

Last year, Benchouch performed brilliantly for Morocco at the U20 AFCON as they lost to South Africa in the final in May. He impressed again at the U20 World Cup, a tournament which they won by defeating Argentina in the final.

The stopper’s development saw him make his debut for Morocco U23s in the last international break.

Aston Villa and Bournemouth keen

Africa Foot Now there is a report giving the latest from Unai Emery on the transfer interest of AFC Bournemouth and other clubs in Yannis Benchouche.

The AS Monaco youngster faces a ‘fierce fight’ as his contract expires in June and he has refused to sign an extension.

After showing interest, Aston Villa made concrete transfer action to bring him to Villa Park in the summer.

The Villains have submitted an official offer that includes a five-year contract worth €850k per year.

Emery’s side are also offering a substantial sell-on percentage to the Ligue 1 side. This is a ‘goodwill gesture’ to prevent any possible legal dispute over the training fees and to conclude the deal ‘amicably’.

This was probably done to get ahead of competition from Bournemouth, Al-Gharafa SC and other clubs.

The Cherries could return with a new offer after a failed attempt in January while the Qatari side try to lure Morocco. Modena, Inter Milan, Monza and unnamed clubs from Spain, Belgium, France and the Netherlands are also interested.

Our opinion: Aston Villa could have the transfer edge

It seems that Yannis Benchouche is well aware that several clubs are chasing him, including Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth.

At the moment, he is in no rush and wants to make a final decision at the end of the season after evaluating all the options. The stopper wants to prioritize the sporting aspect.

This means Aston Villa will have to show him a path to the first team over the next few years, possibly with cup appearances along the way. Given that Villa is likely to change the goalkeeper position, they could sell a project.

bluco structure key for transfer

Chelsea’s ownership model is playing a decisive role. Both Chelsea and Strasbourg are part of the Bluco group. This makes conversation much simpler than a normal transfer. There have already been several moves between clubs in the recent window.

Barco fits perfectly into that path. And Rosenier knows exactly how to use it. Meanwhile, the player has already adapted to European football and is now performing consistently at Ligue 1 level.

Hopes now focus on the summer window. Chelsea’s pressing has intensified and the club appear to be in control of the situation. The remaining step is to convert the advanced talks into a formal agreement.

If that happens, it will be the result of a clear plan: identify a player, develop him within the same ownership structure, and then bring him into the first team at the right time.

The newspaper reports that while the Mestalla club would love to keep Ramazani beyond the expiration of his loan, reality is beginning to bite; He is becoming increasingly out of reach.

effect of ramadan

The Belgian winger has been one of Valencia’s brightest players in the second half of this season, scoring five goals and two assists in 22 games despite playing less than 1,000 minutes.

His pace, direct running and ability to unlock defenses have made him a key player in recent weeks. Both Valencia and the players are happy with the arrangement after a slow start.

But praise alone will not be enough to secure a permanent deal. In fact, the demands of the leads are a big problem.

leeds united asking price

Larghi Ramazani is linked with Leeds United until 2028, and the Premier League side have no intention of letting him leave unless an ‘extraordinary’ offer is made. He is currently worth €8m.

Valencia haven’t paid that much on a single player for years. This summer they spent €16.5 million on signings, but only after bringing in €26.13 million in sales. His highest fee was €5m for Omar Sadiq.

Their top signing last season was €1.2 million, with loan signing Sadiq also having the same figure. Last year the top fee was €5m.

You would have to go back to the €8m signing of Andre Almeida in 2022/23 to match Ramazani’s current value. And it seems Leeds United want more than that anyway. This matches up with a recent report indicating that they are planning on using him next season.

Either way, a permanent move to Valencia is now seen as ‘highly complicated’ and ‘highly unlikely’ to happen this summer.

Riccardo Calafiori has been a key player for Arsenal since arriving from Bologna. Now, he is likely to return to Italy after spending two years in England.

This season, the defender has played 29 times in all competitions, 22 of which have come in the Premier League. He started every game until early December, but his usage was reduced due to familiar injury concerns.

He has been used primarily as a left-back, but for the Italian national team he has demonstrated trademark versatility by playing at centre-back.

The Azzurri star is now attracting attention from Serie A again, with the prospects of signing him increasing.

Inter Milan keen on Calafiori

interest Describe the Arsenal player as a major summer target for Inter Milan. He believes Alessandro Bastoni is ‘destined’ to join Barcelona, ​​leaving the Nerazzurri looking for a replacement.

Riccardo Calafiori is seen as the player the outlet is confident the Gunners will not struggle to make an exit from.

Furthermore, he believes Inter are now ready to commit €50 million on a permanent deal. They will use the finances acquired from the sale of Bastoni, as well as make plans on how to utilize the Arsenal star.

Calafiori is considered a perfect fit for Cristian Chivu’s 3-5-2. He plays in that form regularly for the Azzurri and should be used against Bosnia as well.

If Chivu plans to move to a back-four later, Calafiori will be used as a left-back. He has played in that position during his time at Bologna and this led to his transfer to the Emirates.

The 23-year-old’s versatility is seen as a big need of the hour, with Inter pushing for his signature if given the chance.

Our opinion: Deal with Arsenal unlikely to be easy

At the moment, the Gunners have no reason to part ways with Riccardo Calafiori. Although he has faced injury concerns, he still remains a useful team player who can fill many holes in the team.

Furthermore, he is also at the right age and his value has increased even more since joining Arsenal.

There are no signs he wants to leave, with the defender appearing to be settling in well in London. while he has mentioned His desires to return to Italy, those desires are by no means immediate.

His current deal at the Emirates expires in 2029, making it very difficult for Inter to make any move in the summer.

Real Madrid could look at other options if they decide against Rodri or find it difficult to secure the services of the Manchester City man. The Eagles player and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez are both his options.

Both midfielders are ‘equally expensive options’ but are younger than Rodri. However, there is no mention of the fee required to sign Wharton.

Madrid’s interest is not new as of last August, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain Wharton is on their radar for this summer. Mundo now work on it and cover the latest.

Of the three, ‘the simplest option is undoubtedly’ the Crystal Palace star. He wants to leave Selhurst Park for a Champions League team but that does not mean he will join Real Madrid.

Real Madrid option for Chelsea star

Monday edition of sports world There is a report on Real Madrid’s midfield goals for the next window.

Manchester City’s Rodri remains the preferred choice but will turn 30 in June.

Furthermore, he would be worth €100m despite his contract expiring in 2027. The Spanish giants are also considering options, and that’s where Enzo Fernandez fits in.

The newspaper claims he will be a ‘guaranteed signing’ as he won the World Cup and showed his high potential on several occasions.

World State: ‘He is a player of character, a player who instantly connects with the fans and is a natural leader. It would be like having a second Fede Valverde on the field. The only problem is that he is a player with a strong personality and ego and there are already many players with that profile in a dressing room like Real Madrid.’

The South American would also cost €100 million but is much younger than Rodri. If Liam Rosenior were to force his way out, his side could demand a much higher fee than that and Mundo has not weighed in on that.

Flirting with Real Madrid

Enzo Fernandez now talks to Marcos Giles infobae Has released his comments. The Blues man said he would like to move to the Spanish capital at some point in the future.

“I really like Madrid. It’s very similar to Buenos Aires,” He said.

“It was important for me to get playing time and also to score. Why don’t I play for Nottingham Forest? I ask myself the same.”

Chances of getting out of summer

Given everything that has happened this season, Dane Ndoye looks certain to leave Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.

He is clearly not happy with the situation. And January transfer window report Already connecting with him from a step away.

Now the international break has made him realize what he is missing. Perhaps this will inspire him to seek the step he needs.

Fabian Herzeler’s departure from Brighton & Hove Albion manager could benefit Chelsea in the race for 1. FC Köln’s Saeed El Mala.

The winger has long been on Brighton’s agenda and FC Köln had their offers rejected in the last two windows.

This has not stopped Brighton from continuing their pursuit and Chelsea have also joined them in the transfer race.

The player ‘wants to move to England’ after this season with Chelsea and Brighton both keen.

The latter have made progress by presenting concrete offers to both him and his brother, Malek, who is also at FC Köln. This and his manager put forward The Amex Club.

Fabian Herzeler has been chasing El Mala for a year while he is in the running to replace Casper Hjulmand at Bayer Leverkusen. Managers of other unnamed clubs are also on their radar.

Brighton securing a quick deal and Herzeler leaving after this season is a ‘scary scenario’ for the player. Therefore, the Germany U21 international is considering his options.

Construction Status: ‘Not only is the coaching situation in the hands of clubs like Chelsea, who are also interested in El Mala, but it could also prolong the transfer saga.’

Siegel insists that they want him, whether Herzeler stays or not. However, the German has a decision to make and the ‘scary situation’ benefits Liam Rosenior’s side.

El Mala Contract, Price and Agent Information

Last July, Saeed El Mala signed a contract extension until 2030, without making his debut for the German club. At that time, its value, according to transfer marketWhich was €3m.

During this season, this increased to €18m [in October] to 40 m [in December] Before falling to €35m in March.

He recently parted ways with his agent and is now represented by his parents.

Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has emerged as a new target for Slavia Prague in the summer.

The Slovakia international spent over seven years at Newcastle United and left them for Burnley in August 2025.

Scott Parker’s side achieved promotion to the Premier League and were looking for a new stopper.

Burnley immediately made him their No. 1, and he has started in all 31 league matches so far, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 61 goals.

His Premier League statistics for the Clarets are as follows:

• Shots on target: 166
• Save: 111
• Saving Percentage: 66.9%
• Clean sheet percentage: 12.9%

The 37-year-old’s form for the English club has still managed to attract interest from Slavia Prague.

Burnley man in Czech shortlist

Slavia Prague have Jindrich Stanek, Jakub Markovic and Ondrej Kolar as their stoppers, and Markovic took advantage of the minutes Stanek was sidelined with injury.

Stanek’s agent David Ziyka recently stated that he wants to move to a top-five league after this season. Therefore, the Czech club is now looking for a new goalkeeper.

according to gameOn their shortlist is Burnley’s Martin Dubravka. slavia is prague have already traded with the Clarets when they signed Oliver Soane on loan in the winter market.

The goalkeeper’s contract expires in June and it is believed he will leave Turf Moor in the summer as the Clarets look to relegate to the Championship.

Slovakia previously had a spell with Sparta Prague [2017/18] And could think of returning to the city with Slavia.

His addition to the team would be ‘a bet on proven quality’, but he would not be a guaranteed starter. However, the final decision will depend on how Stanek’s injury situation develops.

Dubravka’s salary is 5 million crowns per month [€200k] There is a problem for Slavia. Furthermore, he may face competition from other clubs for his signature.

Stomper’s future away from Burnley

With his contract expiring at the end of this season, Martin Dubravka’s future lies away from the Premier League side.

He has already spent nine years in England, where he has had stints with Newcastle United, Manchester United and Burnley.

The possibility of the goalkeeper extending his stay in the UK by joining another club cannot be ruled out. So far, there have been no concrete claims of interest from any other club.

Crystal Palace have made initial contacts to sign Juan Cabal from Juventus in the summer.

Earlier this week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy Crystal Palace are making contact to sign Caballé.

The Colombia international moved to Europe for the first time in 2022, when Hellas Verona signed him from Atlético Nacional, the club he graduated from.

In July 2024, Juventus made an offer of €11m plus €1.8m in potential bonuses to Hellas Verona for the left-back.

He made seven appearances in his first season, which ended abruptly in November 2024 after suffering a serious knee injury. This caused him to spend 246 days on the sidelines and then suffered two separate injuries in the first half of the season.

The 25-year-old has played 514 minutes in 19 matches this season. His Serie A statistics per game are as follows:

His injuries and limited playing time since joining Juventus have not stopped the Eagles from showing interest.

Crystal Palace need €15m

Taken by Colombian journalist Adrian E. Magnoli xFormerly known as Twitter, to share a brief but important update about Crystal Palace.

They claim the Premier League side have identified Juan Cabal as a ‘priority signing’ for the summer window.

The journalist further adds that it would cost Oliver Glasner’s side €15 million to sign the fullback.

That’s all he had to say about Crystal Palace, without mentioning the player’s stance on a possible move to Juventus or the London club.

The Eagles have Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Munoz as Colombians in their squad and the former’s contract expires in June. Should Lerma sign an extension, Caballé could meet two of his compatriots provided he ends up at Selhurst Park.

Why could Cabell make sense for the Eagles?

Oliver Glasner has three left-backs in Tyrick Mitchell, Borna Sosa and Rio Cardenes.

Michel is first-choice and Juan Cabal could replace him at Crystal Palace next season if Sosa leaves.

The South American signed a contract with Juventus until 2029 and is now worth €9m transfer market.

The Milwaukee Bucks wasted no time in making a decision on the future of Cam Thomas, placing him on waivers after only 18 games with the team. The guard averaged only 10.7 points per game and 16.6 minutes, never fully fitting within the rotation. X, according to Shams Charania in the past via Twitter, was a surprise given the load he placed on Thomas’ shoulders.

Charania posted, “Bucs GM Jon Horst sold Thomas as a vital part of the team’s contention potential this season and in the future when the team signed him after the trade deadline.” “Whereas Doc Rivers compared Thomas to Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford after only two games. Now he’s been forgiven.”

The Brooklyn Nets waived Thomas early this season after a poor start to the year. He averaged only 15.6 points per game in 24 games, a significant decline compared to his previous two seasons with the Nets. He started the year hot for Brooklyn, but a hamstring injury completely derailed his season.

Hamstring problems were a recurring problem in the 2024–25 season, when he played only 25 games. In the limited sample size, the guard averaged 24 points per game, giving some hope that he could bounce back this season. It looked like it might become a reality until injury problems occurred.

The Bucks made a similar move in the wake of the Cam Thomas news, converting Pete Nance to a multi-year standard NBA contract. Nance averaged 12.1 minutes and 4.5 points per game in 37 games, which is more games than he has played in the last three seasons.

Andres Santos has been one of the shining lights of Chelsea’s disappointing season so far. Now the demand for midfielders is increasing rapidly in Italy.

A few days ago, we covered the claims fcinternews Inter Milan are keeping a close eye on the Brazilian. It happened while Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio was in London during the last Champions League round.

He took a closer look at the Chelsea player, seeing the scouting mission as a sign of early interest.

today’s tuttosport Goes one step further and adds some details regarding Inter Milan’s interest in the Brazilian.

Chelsea player contacted

Ausilio’s trip to London has been hailed as a ‘blitz’ by the newspapers, who are already getting excited about Andre Santos.

The 21-year-old is believed to have been a target of the Serie A league leaders since last summer. Initially, Inter Milan were pursuing AS Roma’s Manu Kone, who ultimately remained in the Italian capital.

This prompted Ausilio and his company to ask Chelsea about Andre Santos, who was returning from his loan at Strasbourg at the time. Enzo Maresca was keen on the midfielder and the Blues rejected Inter’s approach.

Beppe Marotta’s club have signed Andy Diouf, who has not performed well in Serie A. Furthermore, Inter is going to lose Hakan Calhanoglu in the summer. David Fratesi’s future is in doubt and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is approaching 40.

That’s why Andre Santos’ agents, Kia Joorabchian and Giuliano Bertolucci, were contacted last week. This was done to reiterate his respect for the player, who had recently rejected a move to Saudi Arabia. He is now seen as the ‘June signing’ from Christian Chivu’s side.

Inter move could provide stability to Chelsea player

At the moment, it’s fair to say that Inter Milan have more direction than the Blues. The London team feels like a corporate build rather than an entity created with a football project in mind. Inter have a stable identity that regularly brings in more players.

This will help young players like Andre Santos, who can also become a starter for the Nerazzurri. He can also play multiple roles in a midfield three, which could give him more playing time under Chivu.

Joorabchian is generally very active in Italy and could potentially push a deal forward.

Juventus have identified Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson as a target for the summer but will face an ‘almost titanic task’ to sign the Brazilian.

Bianconeri praise Brazil’s world-class profile, yet every indicator points to a mission bordering on impossible According to Tuttomercatoweb.

Alisson is one of the most revered goalkeepers in Europe, a proven match-winner whose presence transforms Liverpool’s defensive stability. The Reds have already moved to secure themselves a deal with him, recently extending the Brazilian’s contract for another year.

Contract extension complicates Juventus plans

His current deal now expires next summer instead, preventing Liverpool from leaving on a free this summer.

This makes matters a little more difficult for Juventus. The Italian giants are looking for specific solutions for next season.

Alisson’s experience, leadership and even familiarity with Serie A could make him an ideal profile, at least on paper.

But Liverpool’s move to extend Alisson’s contract has made things difficult. Juventus will now have to pay a fee for the Brazilian. And there is no evidence that Liverpool want to sell in any way this summer.

Transfer fee and Liverpool’s stance

If the fee is right the Reds could be tempted as they already have Giorgio Mamardashvili waiting in the wings. Alisson is currently worth €17m transfer market. However, there is no indication that Juventus would be willing to pay that much of a fee.

Instead, according to TMW, they see signing Alisson as an ‘almost titanic task’. This shows that they can try but if they don’t like the response from Liverpool then they won’t go much further in their efforts.

The Italian club already has a list of options for that position. This also includes David De Gea, despite not having a good season with Fiorentina. However, this is seen as a result of Fiorentina’s poor season rather than De Gea’s departure.

For now, Alisson is a pipe dream, but Liverpool have a firm grip on him. As a result, the Bianconeri’s pursuit looks more like an ambition than a realistic summer scenario.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur could compete in the summer for Besiktas captain Orkun Koçku, whose return to form has sparked serious interest in England and beyond.

The Fanatic reports that After a slow start to the season, the 25-year-old has performed strongly, attracting interest from Europe’s elite.

According to their information, Manchester United and Tottenham are keeping a close eye on him, including ahead of Besiktas’ recent clash with Kasımpaşa, where he reportedly scored ‘high marks’.

manchester united midfield refresh

United’s recruitment team are actively monitoring their dynamic midfield profile ahead of the summer window.

Koçku’s mix of press resistance, ball progression and leadership fits the club’s effort for a younger, more mobile midfield core.

Meanwhile, Tottenham may look to strengthen their midfield this summer. This will certainly be the case if Joao Palinha’s loan from Bayern Munich is not made permanent. Today a report says that this will not happen.

inter milan interest

Manchester United and Tottenham are not the only sides showing interest. Inter Milan is also making efforts.

According to The Fanatic, the Serie A leaders are keen to add Kokkou as part of their long-term midfield succession plan. Their interest could cause problems for the Premier League pair.

Besiktas set their price

Besiktas has made its stance clear. There will be no sales unless the offer is ‘astronomical’. €50 million is the minimum price they will consider for the 25-year-old.

He is currently valued at €25m by Transfermarkt and has never been valued higher than €35m in 2023. But Besiktas see the midfielder at the center of their plans and will only negotiate if a major European side forces their hand.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United or Tottenham are willing to pay €50m. For now, it appears they are only searching for a midfielder. But he could be an interesting name to move into in the summer window.

Manchester City are still considering a summer move for Sporting Club de Portugal midfielder Morten Hjulmand, with Hugo Viana being big supporters of the player.

And he has also been offered an opening, with Juventus having withdrawn from the race and opening a clear path for the 26-year-old.

Juventus stepped aside and paved the way for the Premier League

One said report Juventus had kept a close eye on Hjulmand, especially after his impressive Champions League performance in Turin. His leadership, tactical intelligence and physical presence made him an exceptional target.

But those same leadership qualities raised an issue. With Manuel Locatelli acting as captain and central man in midfield, Juve feared positional conflicts and have now left Hjulmand off their list. They intend to spend their money elsewhere.

That decision has shifted the spotlight firmly onto England.

Manchester City suddenly at the forefront

City’s interest in the midfielder has been driven by an acquaintance, sporting director Hugo Viana. He is the man who originally brought Hjulmand to Sporting from Lecce.

Few officials in Europe know the Dane’s profile, mentality and development as well as he does.

With Manchester City constantly developing their midfield, and Rodri’s workload a constant concern, Hjulmand fits perfectly into the club’s recruitment model. Internally he feels like he is a ‘plug and play’ Guardiola style midfielder.

premier league competition

Manchester United And Tottenham have also been linked, with their interest coming from the recommendation of Thomas Frank.

But Viana’s presence at the Etihad could give them an advantage. He has existing knowledge of Hjulman, and, importantly, an existing relationship. This can help them move faster and more decisively than their rivals.

€80m clause, €50m agreement

Hjulmand’s current contract includes a release clause of €80m, but Sporting have a gentleman’s agreement to approve a sale for around €50m.

The approach has already been made and there is hope within Alvalade that their captain will leave at some point this summer.

A price tag of €50 million is unlikely to be problematic, as they have spent a similar amount on midfielders last year.

With Juventus out of the picture, they have a clear runway for a midfielder. If Hugo Viana pushes the buttons, he can secure himself as a ready-made leader. And, even, perhaps Rodri’s long-term successor.

Juventus pushed hard to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Tottenham in January. Their pursuit of a striker will intensify in the summer transfer window.

The Frenchman found the net against Atletico Madrid this week and also scored a Premier League goal against Arsenal in Igor Tudor’s first game as manager.

He shone under the Croatian’s leadership at Juventus, helping them qualify for the Champions League last season.

There is now growing confidence in Turin about the possibility of bringing the Tottenham player to Juve. They have reached the point where they are imagining line-ups involving the striker.

Ravanelli removed name of Tottenham player

Talks to former Juventus icon Fabrizio Ravanelli gazzetta dello sport In an interview today about the club’s offensive situation.

Stating his belief that Juve lacked cold-blooded finishers in front of goal, he said: “In Italy, he can do very well and he has shown it, his 15-20 goals this season are guaranteed.

“He is fast, with sprinting and dribbling, I can see him doing well. If you think about Kolo Muani-Osimhen, Kolo Muani-Thuram or Thuram-Osimhen, those are pairings that Juventus fans would love.”

The report also talks about the possibility of Kolo-Muani and Dusan Vlahovic playing together. He did that in the second half of last season and Tudor did a good job of him/

There also appears to be confidence that they can reunify, opening the possibility for the Serbians to opt out of the campaign.

The deal seems like a blind hope

Italian press has Continuous It seemed as if relations between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain had improved over the past year. The two clubs were involved in a public dispute after Tottenham spoiled the Bianconeri’s plans for the summer.

That’s why Gazzetta seems way ahead of the curve and is simply assuming a deal will be reached.

Tottenham may not have much to say but Kolo Muani has shown he is good enough to play for a major club. Even at Spurs, he has shown glimpses of his quality in crunch time. Juve are right to make a move for him but the deal is likely to be complicated.

Manchester United’s interest in Bruno Guimaraes is not new, but the situation around the Newcastle United midfielder is beginning to develop ahead of the summer window.

The Brazilian remains one of Newcastle’s most influential players. He played a major role in last season’s Carabao Cup success and continues to carry the momentum into the 2025-26 campaign.

Their numbers support that position. according to FBrefGuimaraes ranks among Newcastle’s top players for progressive passes, passes into the final third and ball recovery. He offers a mix of defensive intensity and control in possession, which explains why top clubs continue to keep an eye on him. Nevertheless, his future is still open.

Guimaraes has already decided that he will not engage in serious talks until after the 2026 World Cup. His contract runs until June 2028, with a possible extension to 2029 requiring agreement from both parties. Newcastle have contacted their camp discuss renewalBut those talks are stalled.

At the same time, the club has a Clear stance on any possible transfer. Newcastle would be more open to talks with clubs outside England such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona.

However, they are expected to take a stronger position if a Premier League rival makes a move. This context is important in view of the latest developments.

Manchester United’s interest is becoming more concrete

Manchester United have been linked with Bruno Guimarães for months, but the situation now looks more clear.

information from espn brazil indicates Newcastle will demand between €75m and €80m (£65m-£69m) to consider a sale. The figure is in line with the offer made by Barcelona in 2023-24, which the player rejected to stay at St James’ Park.

There has still been no formal offer from Old Trafford. Furthermore, Guimaraes is part of a wider shortlist, meaning United are not solely focused on him.

However, now a new internal factor has emerged.

Casemiro moving forward behind the scenes

Casemiro, who is expected to leave Manchester United, is actively supporting a move for his Brazil teammate.

He has reportedly recommended Bruno Guimarães as his ideal successor in midfield. His voice carries weight inside the club, both because of his experience and his position in the dressing room.

That support changes the dynamics of the situation. United’s interest is no longer limited to recruitment plans. Now it has support from within the team itself.

Now the Red Devils are pushing for Champions League qualification, while Newcastle could miss out on European football this season.

For now, Guimaraes is quiet and focused on his recovery and the World Cup. He is not pushing for a move and his relationship with Newcastle remains strong.

Yet, with the stark valuation, internal pressure on Manchester United and Newcastle’s reluctance to strengthen their domestic rivals, it is a situation that could become more complicated come the summer.

Our belief: not a natural replacement

Bruno Guimaraes would be an excellent addition to an already strong Manchester United squad. He brings control, pace and progression, all of which will lift the team’s midfield. However, he is not an equal replacement for Casemiro.

Both work in very different ways. Casemiro is primarily a defensive midfielder. Their game is based on positioning, duels, interceptions and defending the back line. It supports the structure.

Guimaraes, on the other hand, plays with more freedom. He contributes defensively, but his main impact comes in possession. He moves the ball forward, connects phases and sets the tempo.

In this sense, the profiles are almost complementary rather than identical.

Manchester United will undoubtedly improve by signing Guimaraes. Nevertheless, replacing Casemiro with him would require a tactical adjustment or an additional midfielder to balance the system.

It is an upgrade in some aspects, but not a direct replacement.

Chelsea is one of the top clubs pursuing KRC Genk’s Konstantinos Karatsas for the summer.

The 18-year-old has attracted the attention of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray.

After leaving Anderlecht, he initially joined the reserve team of Jupiler Pro League side on a free transfer in 2023. A year later, the attacking midfielder made his first-team debut and played 85 matches, scoring six goals and 22 assists.

This season, the Belgian-born Greece international has operated on the right wing and as an attacking midfielder. He has three goals and 17 assists in 42 matches so far, and we highlight some of his league statistics below.

It is no surprise that many clubs, including Chelsea, have taken notice of the attacker’s rise and development in Belgium.

Blues at the Battle of Karetsas

On 19 February, Game Witness broadcast news Liam Rosenior’s side and Manchester City are attempting to bring him to the Premier League in the summer.

At the end of that month, we Claims covered from Belgium That both clubs sent their scouts to watch Genk’s Europa League win over Dinamo Zagreb.

recent news Now Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, BVB and Turkish clubs report interest in the young player.

These clubs are in a race to sign the player and are not deterred by the price demanded by Genk.

The Belgian club have set a €45m price tag to make Carretta a league record sale. The current record is the €38m sale of Arden Jashari from AC Milan to Club Brugge in August 2025.

SC Freiburg won 5-1 on Thursday to knock Genk out of the Europa League. Before the clash, HLN spoke to Karetsas and asked him about the transfer links.

Responding to that he said: “I don’t like reading all this. I’m not even that curious about it. But that’s how the market works, okay? Let me just focus on my work on the field. I want my life to be as normal as possible. As long as I keep improving and performing, everything is fine. You know, everything else is virtually in place. It’s a nice bonus, but not tangible.”

Player contract, value and agent information

Last November, the attacker signed an extension with Genk until 2025 and is now valued at €35m transfer market.

Belgian agency Stir Associates, headed by agent Stijn Francis, represents the player wanted by the Blues.

Francis has a number of players on his client list including Brighton & Hove Albion keeper Bart Verbruggen, VfB Stuttgart’s Bilal El Khanous and Juventus’ Lois Openda.

A new report explains why the running back problem for the Minnesota Vikings could spell disaster for Kyler Murray in 2026.

After a tremendous sophomore season, the Vikings could not deny that they needed a secondary option behind young quarterback JJ McCarthy. However, when the Arizona Cardinals decided to waive two-time Pro Bowler Kyler Murray, Minnesota was given the option to take a player who could do more than just compete with McCarthy for the starting job.

Since the signing, there has been much discussion among NFL pundits that Murray could return to his Pro Bowl form under head coach Kevin O’Connell and lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl the following season. However, a new report from The Athletic’s Jacob Robinson dashes those grand expectations.

In Thursday’s newsletter, the football analyst reported that, in general, the Vikings’ offensive line has performed poorly over the past few seasons, and their interior has been a particular weakness. That’s bad news for Murray, the shortest QB in the league.

“Internal pressure wreaks havoc on an undersized quarterback like the 5-foot-10 Murray,” Robinson writes. “Small passers need extra space to see their linemen and good throwing lanes to get the ball out. That’s why the Panthers invested heavily in the interior for Bryce Young, as the Saints did with Drew Brees.”

The Minnesota Vikings’ offensive line could be much better in 2026

Internal concerns with the smaller QB are a good reason to believe Murray could have a bad first season in Minnesota. Especially when he has struggled with injuries over the last few years and hasn’t looked like a Pro Bowler for quite some time.

However, Robinson did not just bring bad news and offered legitimate hope. First, he reported that “the injuries are gone.” [the offensive line] There were 26 different combinations last season.” Additionally, they have a new coach in Keith Carter, and notable talent on the O-line.

Robinson wrote, “Left tackle Christian Darrisaw and guard Donovan Jackson were selected in the first round. On the right side are high-paid guard Will Friesz and tackle Brian O’Neill.” He also said that Murray’s ability to extend the play due to his athleticism is something that Vikings QBs have been lacking recently.

It’s a whole new environment in South Beach following the departure of Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. The new system, led by GM John-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, has wasted no time in making its mark on this franchise.

It all started with trimming Tua Tagovailoa from the roster, even though it meant a record-setting $99 million dead cap charge for the 2026 NFL league year. Subsequent moves have been equally notable, with the Dolphins releasing a pair of Pro Bowl players in Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb. They’ve also traded a pair of Pro Bowlers, sending Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Jets for a lottery scratch-off, and getting top value for Jaylen Waddle.

Now, it’s time to rebuild this thing from the ground up. One of the most challenging aspects after moving on from a franchise QB in Tagovailoa was how the Dolphins would find their next solution under center. It didn’t take much time.

The Dolphins signed one of the top free agent quarterbacks available, signing Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with $45 million guaranteed. This decision is sure to be criticized by football critics across the industry. Still, some people liked Miami’s move.

Count out ESPN’s Seth Walder as an NFL analyst who thinks the Dolphins made one of the best signings in free agency this offseason. For a Dolphins team that had no clear path forward at QB, Walder believes Miami got exactly what they needed by taking a chance on the upside that Willis represents.

Certainly, there are obvious potential drawbacks with a quarterback who has made just six starts since arriving as a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Willis is far from a perfect product. Yet the Dolphins, who have two key decision-makers at the helm who were with Willis in Green Bay, are confident in the 26-year-old dual-threat QB’s development into a star in South Beach.

The New York Sirens are trying to clinch their first postseason berth in franchise history – but they will have to do so without one of their key offensive contributors. Third-year forward Taylor Girard will go on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) and miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the Sirens announced Wednesday morning.

Midway through the second period of New York’s TakeOver Tour matchup in Denver on Sunday, Girard attempted to deliver a hit on Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salem. Instead, the toe of his right foot caught the ice awkwardly, causing his knee to buckle. Girard collapsed in pain and immediately grabbed her right knee. He was taken out of the snow on a stretcher.

The Sirens lost to Minnesota 4–3 despite an inspired third period effort. New York has lost six of its last seven games (1-0-2-4) and sits in sixth place overall with 27 points (8-0-3-9) – four behind the PWHL’s final playoff spot.

The more significant loss, however, is that of Girard. The 27-year-old was having the best season of his career, scoring seven goals in 17 games. Kristina Kaltunkova, New York’s No. 1 overall pick in 2025, is the only Siren with more (11). Girard is 10th in league scoring after registering only five goals in 46 games in his first two PWHL seasons.

This marks Girard’s second season-ending knee injury since 2024. As a member of the Boston Fleet, he suffered a serious left knee injury on April 27, 2024, during the final game of the regular season; As a result she missed Boston’s race in Game 5 of the Walter Cup Finals. Girard has yet to appear in a post-season game during his three-year PWHL career.

New York’s troubles have been compounded by an upper-body injury to star rookie center Casey O’Brien. The Sirens listed O’Brien as day-to-day, but he did not travel with the team to Denver for Sunday’s match against Frost.

What’s next for Sirens after Girard’s season-ending injury?

The Sirens include former Scepters forward Claire DeGeorge

New York signed 26-year-old forward Claire DeGeorge to a standard player deal on Wednesday after she was released by the Toronto Raptors. Sceptres and Siren reportedly discussed a trade on Tuesday, but no deal was reached.

With Girard sidelined and O’Brien’s status uncertain, DeGeorge has added much-needed depth to New York’s forward group. The Sirens have no forwards on their reserve roster, leaving them with only 12 active forwards. That includes O’Brien, who remains day-to-day after taking a heavy hit from Ottawa Charge forward Kateryna Mrazova on March 8.

DeGeorge was not added to the active roster. Instead, the Sirens signed reserve defender Nicole Valario to a 10-day standard player deal to fill the open spot. Barring another move, New York will field just 11 forwards on Wednesday against the Vancouver GoldenEyes with O’Brien unavailable.

DeGeorge played a limited role with the Sceptres this season, appearing in 17 games as a fourth-line winger or extra skater. His 2:23 average time on ice (ATOI) ranks second behind any PWHL skater with at least five games played in 2025–26. He scored a season-high 9:57 in Toronto’s 2-0 win over Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

He saw a larger fourth-line role last season with the Montreal Victoire, averaging 8:32 in 26 games. With the 2024 Walter Cup champion Frost, DeGeorge averaged over 10 minutes per game in 23 regular season contests and 10 playoff games.

DeGeorge will never replace Girard’s scoring touch. The Alaska native has not recorded a point yet this season; He has no goals and three assists in 66 career PWHL games. But despite his limited offensive range, DeGeorge is a capable pro-level fourth-liner, with a tall 5-foot-11 frame and the ability to play center.

This gives the Sirens some insurance in their forward group and should not stop general manager Pascal Doust from adding another addition before the PWHL roster freeze on March 31.

Siren can detect SDHL player pool

DeGeorge helps the Sirens’ bottom six, but the move does little to fill the offensive void left by Girard’s injury. If Doust wants to add a more impactful scoring threat, he may have to look abroad.

The Swedish Women’s Hockey League (SDHL) – widely considered the top professional women’s league in Europe – features several former PWHL skaters who will be eligible to sign immediately. As the SDHL playoffs continue, PWHL free agents from eliminated teams become potential targets.

Lulia lost in the semi-finals on Monday. Its roster includes a handful of PWHL talent – ​​most notably former Charge forward Akane Shiga. Shiga scored two goals in 23 games with Ottawa in 2024 and finished seventh in the SDHL with 38 points (12 goals, 26 points) this season.

This is especially noteworthy as a handful of Lulea players are PWHL free agents and are now eligible to sign a PWHL contract if interested.

Most notably: Nadia Mativi, Akane Shiga, Sarah Bujold, Cameron Sikich.

If SDE is removed before the roster freeze there may be some other interesting names available. SDE trails Frölunda 2-1 in the best-of-five semifinal series, with Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday.

SDE’s roster includes former Victoire forward Gabrielle David and former Sceptres forward Samantha Cogan. David is second in the SDHL in scoring with 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists); He tallied two goals and six points in 26 PWHL games, most recently appearing in 2024–25. Kogan is fifth in the SDHL with 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists) after scoring two goals with Toronto in 2024.

It’s unlikely that any of the above will match Girard’s scoring pace, but true needle-movers are hard to find on the open market at the end of the season. If Doust wants to take the Flyer further, SDHL may be his best option.

Adding a player would require the Sirens to remove someone from their active roster. New York is currently using two of its three reserved roster spots.

Do the Sirens have enough aggression for a playoff push?

In all likelihood, the Lions will need to replace Girard’s scoring inside. Whether they have the scoring depth to do that is another question.

New York’s rookies have largely powered an offense that ranks fifth in the entire league in goals per game. Kaltounkova has a share of the PWHL lead in goals; Overall, first-year skaters scored 23 of New York’s 47 goals.

Star forward Sarah Fillear hasn’t enjoyed the same puck luck in 2025-26 after scoring 13 goals and 29 points in a stellar rookie campaign last season. With 10 games left in the regular season, Fillioner has three goals and a 4.7 shooting percentage.

Girard helped lead the Impact forward from 2024-25, joining Alex Carpenter, AB Roque and Jesse Aldridge – all of whom landed on different teams in the 2025 offseason. But with Girard’s season-ending injury and a banged-up O’Brien, New York is lacking some offensive punch, especially at the bottom of the lineup.

Without increased production from players like Patin Lewis, Kristin O’Neal and Fillioner, New York may find it difficult to keep up with Ottawa’s dangerous attack and surging Sceptres team.

Following their latest – and smart – move for Ryan, Bournemouth could return to Vasco da Gama for another signing.

with brazilian forward no longer leading the lineIt is Colombian attacker Andres Gomez who has stepped into a central role in Vasco’s attack.

The 21-year-old player has become one of the team’s main references in the final third, building on a strong end to last season.

Ryan’s partner for a while

During the last semester of 2025, Vasco da Gama had Ryan on the right side and Andres Gomez on the left. It was a real nightmare for the defenders, who could not prevent them from reaching Brazilian Cup later stages.

Since then, the left has carried that momentum into 2026 and established itself as a consistent attack outlet.

His performance is backed by the numbers. according to footystatsGómez is one of the Brasileirão’s most active forwards. He ranks second in successful dribbles with 21, which highlights his ability to beat defenders in straightforward situations. Additionally, he leads the league in total shots, with 24 attempts, showing both volume and offensive intent.

Those metrics help explain its growing importance. After needing time to adapt following his arrival in mid-2025, Gomez now looks fully settled. He plays with confidence, takes responsibility and is heavily involved in Vasco’s attacking phases.

So far this season, he has contributed three straight goals, along with one goal and two assists. Yet, their impact goes far beyond those numbers. He moves the ball well, attacks space and constantly tries to destabilize defensive formations.

That form has also been recognized at the international level. Gomez was included in Colombia’s latest squad under Nestor Lorenzo, and is now pushing for a place at the World Cup later this year.

Bournemouth interest emerges

As reported by A Club Insider Outlet In Brazil, Bournemouth are one of the clubs tracking the development of Andrés Gómez. The Premier League side are already familiar with Vasco’s market, having signed Ryan, and could now seek another deal.

From a recruitment perspective, Gomez fits Bournemouth’s recent profile. He is young, direct and already performing in a competitive league. His dribbling numbers and offensive involvement suggest a player who is suited to a fast, transition-based system.

However, Vasco is in no rush to sell. The Brazilian club believe that Gomez’s value could increase significantly after the World Cup. This expectation shapes their current stance in negotiations.

Our Opinion: Timing is of the essence for cherries

For Bournemouth, the timing of any move could be crucial. Acting quickly can reduce competition and keep prices low. On the other hand, waiting may provide more certainty about Gomez’s level on the international stage.

At present, interest is at the monitoring level. Meanwhile, Andrés Gómez continued to increase his role at Vasco, strengthening both his reputation in Brazil and his appeal in Europe.

Chelsea’s interest in Valentin Barko is not new, but the context surrounding it is beginning to change in their favour.

When Liam Rosenior arrived at Stamford Bridge in January, his first request was clear. He wanted to bring Barco with him From Strasbourg. Argentina became a prominent figure in France under the British, especially after being moved to a more central role.

Chelsea explored that possibility in the winter window. However, no deal could be reached. still, this thought never ends.

That perseverance matters. Barco is no longer the same player that the Bluco Group had initially tracked down and signed during his Brighton spell.

The 21-year-old joins Brighton from Boca Juniors in January 2024 for €10m (£8.7m). His adaptation was difficult. He made only seven appearances and struggled to establish himself. This was followed by a loan move to Sevilla, but that too failed to provide stability.

Everything changed with Strasbourg. Under Rosenior, Barco was reestablished. He operated as a left-sided midfielder or even deeper, as part of a double pivot. That change opened up his game. He began to set the pace, move the ball forward and contribute creatively.

Strasburg was convinced. They made his move permanent in the summer of 2025 for €10m (£8.7m). And now, several months later, Chelsea’s original idea seems much more reasonable.

The season confirms Chelsea’s thinking

Valentin Barco’s current campaign has highlighted why Rosenior put him forward.

He has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season. In that time, he has contributed one goal and ten assists. according to transfer marketHe is now worth €25m (£21.7m).

More importantly, their role has evolved. He is no longer seen primarily as a left-back. Instead, he operates as a creative midfielder, often responsible for progressions and final-third deliveries. This profile fits what Chelsea have lacked at times this season.

In addition to his raw output, Barco has been one of Strasbourg’s top chance creators this season. He averages around 2.2 key passes per game, underscoring his consistent influence in the final third.

Their influence is not limited to coincidental creation. The Argentine has also posted a high volume of progressive passes, one of the highest in the team, reflecting his role in creating attacks from deep areas.

He also moves the ball forward with purpose. Barco records a high volume of progressive carries per match, often driving through the midfield and breaking lines with possession.

New report puts Chelsea ahead

argentina outlet hail Now report Chelsea are ‘frontrunners’ to sign Barco – if there’s one to start with, consider the Bluco connection.

Attention has turned to the summer window. His performances in Ligue 1 have attracted interest from several clubs, but Chelsea are seen to be in the best position.

Obviously, the multi-club structure has already facilitated the movements of many players (and managers) between sides. Now Barco seems to be the next candidate to follow that path.

There is also a personal angle in this. Rosenier’s role remains central in Barco’s development. He gave continuity to the player and redefined his position. Now, he wants to bring that version of Barco to his Chelsea team.

next step in summer

Chelsea’s failure to land Barco in January has not weakened his position. If anything, it made it clear.

The club now has a player who has proven himself throughout the season in a set role. They also have a manager who understands well how to use them.

With part of the same ownership structure as Strasbourg, negotiations should be more straightforward than usual. The main question is one of timing rather than feasibility.

If the current trajectory continues, Chelsea will be moving towards a player who has developed into the role they originally envisioned.

Liverpool are facing a challenge from Barcelona in their bid to bring Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni to the Premier League in the summer.

The Serie A team acquired the centre-back from Atalanta in 2017 and immediately sent him back on loan. A year later, he joined Parma on a season-long loan deal.

Bastoni quickly settled at San Siro and has been a regular since the 2019/20 season. Many clubs, including Liverpool, have been keeping an eye on him due to his rise in recent years.

The Italy international has started 24 league matches this season and kept eight clean sheets for Inter Milan during his time on the field. Below are his statistics per game from Serie A.

• Intercept: 0.9
• Tackle: 1.8
• Ground duels won: 2.8
• Aerial duel won: 2/0
• Ball Recovery: 3.8
• Dribbled past: 0.3
• Errors in reaching target: 0

Given his performances, Liverpool are considering signing him in the summer. Earlier this season, Sport Witness broadcast news Fabio Paratici showed strong interest in taking him to Tottenham Hotspur.

Paratici left Spurs for Fiorentina in February, and it is unclear whether Spurs are still interested. It will be a difficult task for them to convince the player.

Deal difficult for Liverpool

Inter Milan are ‘seriously considering’ parting ways with the 26-year-old after this season. is according to gazzetta dello sportWho said that his sale could help finance the Nerazzurri’s summer market.

Alessandro Bastoni’s recent valuation has increased the price to €70-80m. Gazzetta believes the Italian club could now accept a €50m offer in the summer. His agent has registered Barcelona’s interest, while the newspaper has made no mention of Liverpool or any other club.

Wednesday edition of game Relays it and provides its own updates on the matter. The Reds get a mention as they are showing interest in the player.

In fact, the Catalan newspaper reports that the Anfield club have made inquiries. It is unclear whether the initial contact was with his agent Inter Milan or both.

Either way, Liverpool could take advantage of the need to sell their squad to add him for €50m.

However, it won’t be easy as Sport say Bastoni only wants a move to Camp Nou. This puts Barcelona in a comfortable position as long as they are willing to meet the fee demanded.

It’s worth noting that Sport is a Catalan newspaper and is biased towards Barcelona, ​​so they would say so.

Why the Reds should not accept defeat

The four centre-backs at Anfield are Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Giovani Leoni in the Arne slot.

Konate’s contract expires in June while Gomez and 34-year-old Van Dijk both have contracts until 2027. Leone has been on the sidelines since suffering a serious injury in September.

If Konate refuses to sign an extension, Liverpool are in need of an experienced defender. Given his experience at both Inter Milan and Italy, Bastoni could be the ideal candidate.

transfer market Bastoni, who has a contract until 2028, is valued at €80 million, and the Serie A side’s €50 million asking price makes him available cheaply. Therefore, Liverpool need to find a way to convince the player to move on from Barcelona.

Tyreek Hill is on the market, and the clock is ticking. We’re already into the second week of NFL free agency, and the market is in complete chaos. With teams plunking down $5.83 billion in the first wave alone, the front office made every effort to stack a Super Bowl-caliber roster from top to bottom.

The Kansas City Chiefs know that game better than anyone. A three-peat slipped through their fingers, and now it’s all gas, no breaks for Patrick Mahomes and company. Their mission is simple: get back to the top and bring Lombardi home.

Meanwhile, Hill has been sitting in free agency since February, and he’s still waiting for his next landing spot. Interestingly, the reunion in Kansas City may not be as crazy as it seems.

The Chiefs’ WR room has been a rollercoaster since Tyreek Hill left for Miami in 2023. Not a true field-tilter, not someone who scares defenses with two-high balls every second. And on the other hand, Hill doesn’t really have that elite, gun-toting QB who can fully unlock his game like Patrick Mahomes.

Chiefs and Tyreek Hill reunion feels closer than ever

On Tuesday, the Chiefs’ WR room emptied a bit when Hollywood Brown reached a free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. This seems like it would move the team even closer to a potential reunion with one of the greatest players in team history to address their need at wide receiver.

There are question marks all over the Chiefs’ passing game this season. Rashee Rice could be facing a suspension, Xavier Worthy still feels like a work in progress, and Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are both on the way out the door. This isn’t exactly the kind of WR room you make a Super Bowl run with.

Meanwhile, we already know what Hill looks like in red and gold—479 catches, 6,630 yards, 62 TDs. You add him back into the offense, and suddenly Eric Bieniemy’s unit gets its juice back overnight. And yes, Travis Kelce is back for one last ride — but bringing Hill home isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about fixing a real problem.

Sure, Hill is recovering from injury and has not been at the peak level of the “Cheetah” recently. But he’s still waiting for that one-play touchdown to happen. One missed coverage, one missed angle, and that’s six. Every time. Plus, that Mahomes-Hill chemistry? You don’t teach this. It’s already created, already proven, already deadly.

His development has already attracted the attention of Newcastle United. Earlier in the season, Sport Witness broadcast news Magpies, Liverpool and Real Madrid are youth favorites

In December, AZ General Manager Marijan Ziman said The player can go in summer.

Newcastle United keen on Keyes Smit

Eddie Howe’s side continue to pursue the Netherlands U21 international. Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has spoken to Ziggo Sport about his compatriot Rondo and football scoop Has released his comments.

Kees Smit’s development impresses him, and the former stopper says the Premier League team is one of the English clubs pursuing the midfielder.

“Everyone in England is [impressed] Very; “Newcastle is after him.” He said.

Voetbal Primer reports that the Dutchman is worth €60m. Former Ajax midfielder Theo Janssen told Rondo that this statistic means nothing.

“€60m for Smit is a ridiculous amount. €60m?! Come on. That puts a lot of pressure on the guy. If the guy brings €15m, that’s already a lot of money,” Jansen explained.

Meanwhile, Smit spoke to Matchday, which was relayed football newsAnd explained that he does not focus on price.

“To be honest, I never looked at the statistics. That’s even better. Otherwise, I would have started to have doubts. After all, I’m happy with my choice.” He added.

If it were up to him, he would prefer to move to another Dutch club before moving elsewhere. However, Smit is well aware that this is highly unlikely to happen.

“Staying in the Netherlands would be really ideal. I don’t think that’s going to happen. I never really thought I would have to leave and I always wanted to play for AZ and I got a lot of confidence there. There was never any reason to leave in the first place,” Smit said.

Dutchman’s contract, price and agent

Kees Smit’s contract is until 2028, and transfer market has increased its valuation from €22m in December to €25m this month.

The young midfielder is represented by Forza Sports Group. His client list includes Arsenal’s Jurien Timber, Marseille’s Quinton Timber, Leeds United’s Pascal Struijk and many more.

However, AZ have tasked super-agent Jorge Mendes with helping them secure €60m from his sale in the summer.

Former Anderlecht manager Besnik Hasi has revealed he strongly opposed the club’s decision to sign Yasin Ozcan last summer – now he believes the move reflects deeper problems behind the scenes.

In an interview with Het Laste Nieuws, Later reported by Voetbal BelgiëThe former Anderlecht boss did not back down.

Anderlecht sacked Hassi in early January, ending a second difficult spell in charge. This was followed by a period of approximately 11 months of poor performance, with Anderlecht collecting only five points from seven league games.

Conflict with Oliver Renard over recruitment policy

Tension was rising behind the scenes, particularly between Hussey and director of football Olivier Renard.

Renard prioritized signing young foreign players, with an eye on maximizing future transfer profits.

Hussey instead emphasized experience, favoring academy options and proven signings over long-term projects. This was especially true in central defense after Jan Vertonghen retired last summer.

Why did Hasi oppose the signing of Yasin Ozcan?

Despite those concerns, Renard opted to recruit youngsters Mihajlo Ilic and Yasin Ozcan. Ozcan arrived from Aston Villa, but Hasi made it clear he never supported the move

Hassi argued that the team lacked leadership, saying: “Personality and quality – that’s what Anderlecht needed.”

“A leader, because our defense was young after Jan Vertonghen retired. And then you finally bring in Mihajlo Ilic and Yasin Ozcan? Two boys who still need to train. I was not in favor of that, no.

When challenged on Izcan’s Premier League background, Hasi rejected the claim: “He didn’t come from Aston Villa. He came from Kasimpasa. He didn’t play a single second for Villa.”

What happened to Yasin Ozcan after Anderlecht?

Although Hasani’s comments may seem a bit harsh, he may have a point considering what happened to Ozcan this season.

He headed to Belgium in the summer but struggled to settle or impress Hassani. There were also reports that he was struggling with language difficulties.

As a result, Aston Villa recalled him in late January. But instead of keeping him at Villa Park, they immediately sent him on loan to Besiktas. That deal includes a buyout obligation at the end of the season.

He was part of the big conversation that took Tammy Abraham to Aston Villa. Villa’s willingness to include him in that deal arguably underlines how limited his value was, and lends credence to Hasi’s criticism.

Sunderland appear to be the front-runners to sign Feyenoord’s Anis Hadj Moussa in the summer.

In April 2024, the Eredivisie side agreed a deal for the winger to come to the club in the summer. He has 22 goals and 11 assists in 76 games. This includes 11 goals and six assists this season.

Sunderland and several other clubs have already taken note of the winger’s rise at the Dutch club. This is mainly because he has significantly improved his overall game this season.

Black Cat leads in signing

On Wednesday, Sports Witness Covered Claims Algeria could make an offer for the Feyenoord player in comparison to Sunderland. The source did not provide any information about the Dutch club’s demands or the fee the Black Cats would like to offer.

man of the Match Pay attention to that and cover the latest on the Black Cats when reporting on Marseille.

The operation remains complicated due to ‘particularly fierce and attractive competition’ from England. Chelsea, Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth have been mentioned in recent claims.

However, reports state that Regis Le Bris’s side appear to be in the lead, and are in talks with his entourage. Feyenoord, for their part, are requesting €30-35m. This is another factor that makes a deal challenging for the Ligue 1 side.

Africa Foot Relay claims have been made elsewhere about interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United in Hadj Moussa, but it is clear that Sunderland now have the top spot.

The outlet also interviewed his compatriot and Olympic Beja manager, Nabil Neghiz. He has backed Haj Moussa to achieve more success by further improving his game.

“His pace in the first few steps allows him to get past defenders and pose a threat in the final third of the pitch,” He said.

“What makes this player particularly interesting is not only what he is showing now, but also the potential he still has to improve. If he continues to progress at this pace, he could become one of the most impressive attacking wingers in European football.”

Increase in progress and evaluation of Haj Moussa

The attacker arrived in Europe when RC Lens signed him for their academy in 2018. He did not make it to Ligue 1, leaving him on a free transfer to Olympique Charleroi in 2022.

Haj Moussa arrived at Feyenoord at the start of the 2024/25 season. His value increased by €12m [December 2024] up to €14m [May 2025] Now up to €20m. This could increase further if he impresses for his country in the World Cup.
