Hull City Manager Sergej Zakirovic believes they need 12-15 signings this summer to compete in the Premier League next season.

sports news Today is a comprehensive interview with the Hull City manager, in which he explains his plans for the summer transfer window.

Hull City Summer Plans

Sergej Zakirovic has become one of the most intriguing coaching stories in European football over the past year, thanks to his immense, unexpected success at Hull.

He took charge of Hull last year with the apparent luxury of remaining in the Championship or at least achieving a comfortable mid-table finish. Instead, they defied expectations and sent them into the playoffs in the first place Defeated Middlesbrough in play-off final.

It means he is now a Premier League manager and faces the difficult task of keeping the Tigers at the top. And to do that, he believes they need a big summer transfer window.

“We have calculated that the core structure of 12 players who have performed this season will remain in place, which means we need 12 to 15 reinforcements,” he said.

“The owner and I talked, but he didn’t say anything about money, we still have to sit down seriously.

“However, we know some information. As winners of the Championship last season, Coventry plan to invest around €40m in reinforcements, but they already have an expensive and strong team with which they have attacked the Premier League for two years.

“Ipswich are reportedly preparing around €80m. For comparison, Sunderland, as a newcomer to the Premier League last summer, invested around €120m in reinforcements and immediately finished seventh after winning the Europa League.”

Spend €120 million like Sunderland?

While Sunderland could be a shining example of how to do it, Zakirovic does not believe Hull will have the same kind of spending power this summer.

He said, “Sunderland is my guiding principle, the club has identified excellent, conditionally, cheap, but very good players, mainly in Belgium and France.”

Getting €120 million of reinforcements… It’s already a dream, I don’t believe we will have that much money, but we’ll see. “Basically, there are no restrictions now, we can compensate.”

Sunderland Captain Granit Xhaka has insisted he is not thinking about a move this summer after an impressive first season at the Stadium of Light.

Blick held an interview with the 33-year-old today. And he makes it clear that he is not only happy at Sunderland but feels like he is at home at the Stadium of Light.

sunderland joy

The Swiss midfielder joined Sunderland in a surprise deal from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, a move which raised eyebrows at the time.

But he soon established himself as a key player in Regis Le Bris’s team, and playing a key role, he secured European football for the following season. He has since been named the Premier League signing of the season.

Very few would have predicted that his or Sunderland’s season would go so well. But he insists he knew from the beginning he was onto something good.

“To be honest, I’m not surprised,” he said.

“Throughout my career, I have always taken all my decisions based on my gut feeling. Moving from Leverkusen to Sunderland was not a sudden decision. I had a lot of discussions with the owner, sporting director and manager before signing.”

“Of course, you could say that winning the league title with Leverkusen was a bit of a surprise. The same applies for this season, finishing seventh in the Premier League as a newly promoted team. But I look at it a little differently because I see all the hard work that goes into these successes. If you work hard day and night, you can achieve a lot.”

sunderland love

Such is his situation already at Sunderland; He is often heard signing his captain to Elvis’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. And he admits that he feels the same way.

He said, “Yeah, it’s a bit like home to me.”

“The city feels like Basel. Like the St. Johann district where I grew up. You can perform at your best only when you feel comfortable in a place.”

And that means one important thing for Sunderland, Granit Xhaka is not thinking of leaving anytime soon. Despite speculation, he is happy with zero heat transfer negotiations While he is in the World Cup.

“For me, the most important thing is that my family is happy. And we are at Sunderland. I’m not even thinking about a transfer,” he concluded.

“I’m really happy to finally spend the summer without any speculation about my future. This has rarely happened in recent years. It allows me to concentrate completely on the World Cup.”

swansea city Star Zhan Vipotnik aims for a switch to the Premier League.

The Slovenia international has starred for Swansea City this season, scoring 25 goals and three assists in 49 appearances.

On 21st April, Vitor Matos spoke The striker is likely to leave the Welsh club this summer.

Toulouse, Benfica and Brighton & Hove Albion have already shown interest in the 24-year-old.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Slovenia The Swans have set a €30m price tag.

Swansea City star not worried about transfer links

Tuesday’s edition of Diary Zhan Vipotnik is interviewed and talks about a few topics including his future at Swansea City.

Slovenia, who failed to qualify for the World Cup, have to play friendlies against Cyprus and Croatia this month.

Ahead of Thursday’s clash against Cyprus, the newspaper spoke to the frontman to ask him about his latest exit links. His immediate focus is on the national team and not the possibility of changing clubs.

“At the moment, I have taken a good break from all this. I am vacationing in warm places and have forgotten everything else. Now it is the turn of the national team, and then we will see,” He said.

“A long season, a lot of matches. Like I said, I had a few days off, so I was able to recharge my batteries a bit, and now I’m back in action. It’s always good to come home.”

Dnevnik says the player will have no shortage of suitors and the Premier League would be the next logical step.

Responding to that, Vipotnik explained: “The desire is definitely there, but a lot of things have to come together. For now, I’m really happy at Swansea. We’ll see what happens in the summer.”

four days ago, we broadcast news West Ham United are looking for a front man this summer. However, his latest admission would be a potential move to challenge the Hammers, following their demotion.

Contract, price and agent information

In March, Zane Vipotnik extended his contract at Swansea City until 2030 and his value accordingly transfer marketIs €22m. There has been a huge jump in his value as it stood at €2.5m in May 2025.

Slovenian agency Bola Consulting, owned by agent Saso Zupan, is representing him.

SunderlandMilan Aleksic is on the verge of becoming Fudbalski Club Partizan’s first signing this summer.

Last September, Sports Witness Covered claims from Poland KS Cracovia are interested in signing him on loan with an option to buy.

Sunderland have approved a loan move to the Polish club, who have not made the 20-year-old’s stay permanent.

This is not surprising at all as he only played 295 minutes in eight matches and provided two assists.

Therefore, he returns to the Stadium of Light, but this time will head to Serbia again.

New loan move for Sunderland player

is according to mozart gameWho report that football club Partizan are interested in signing Milan Aleksic.

Their interest is not new as the Serbian club wanted a deal last summer, but the attacking midfielder rejected them.

He arrived in Poland and struggled for minutes and that’s likely to be the case if he stays at Sunderland next season. Regis Le Bris is not under consideration for the Serbia U21 international and therefore, the latter will have to find a solution this summer.

Partizan, which failed last summer, is most likely to be his next destination. He spent two years in their academy between 2021 and 2023 and there will be ‘no obstacles’ to his return this year.

The report said that ‘negotiations lasted for months and ended successfully.’

They first managed to persuade the Black Cats man and his crew to return to Serbia.

Partizan then negotiated a loan deal with Sunderland on favorable terms. The only thing that is pending now is whether the buyout clause will be part of the temporary deal.

According to Mozart Sport, it is currently confirmed that the youngster will play for his former club next season. The move allows Aleksić to enjoy regular playing time, while Partizan receives a young player.

Contract, price and agent information

Milan Aleksic has just over two years left on his contract at Sunderland and Transfermarkt values ​​him at €700k.

Agency 11Vince is representing the Serbian, who has made 10 appearances for the Black Cats since joining them in 2024.

tottenham Winger Manor Solomon had a good second half of the season at Fiorentina.

The agreement contained an option for La Viola to buy for €10m, after the initial loan had been partly repaid. The winger played a role in keeping them away from relegation, as they finished 15th in the table.

Despite missing several weeks due to injury, Solomon scored two goals and assisted once. He also retained a starting spot, which helped them secure a famous win over Juventus earlier this month.

sports witness Covered how the player is keen to leave Tottenham and stay at the Italian team. There have been doubts over Fiorentina’s own intentions but there may still be some hope for a permanent move for the winger.

paratisy potential key

Gazzetta dello Sport takes a closer look at a potential outgoing for La Viola this summer. With Fabio Grosso arriving as the new manager, director Fabio Paratici is now planning how to take the current project forward.

There is certainty that Jack Harrison will return to Leeds United having failed to make an impression under Paolo Vanoli. But things may not be so certain for Solomon.

Although Fiorentina are not keen on a permanent deal, everything depends on money.

That’s why ‘Paratici will try’ to convince Tottenham of the waiver. The current valuation of €10m appears to be too high for Fiorentina and efforts will be made to reduce it.

The Spurs’ openness remains to be seen. But what has been clear in recent weeks is that Solomon is very keen and that could help all parties involved.

tottenham should accept discount

As things stand, Spurs have nothing to lose when it comes to the winger. The 26-year-old joined for free and his exit will only give them capital gains.

There are injury concerns around the player and it is enough for Fiorentina to back out of a €10m deal. Even though he showed glimpses of his abilities in Florence, the same was not quite true at Villarreal in the first half of the season.

As a result, Tottenham must accept a discount in his exit. This will only generate money which will be used for signings, as the club is in desperate need of rebuilding. Solomon will not be part of that rebuild and delaying his permanent exit will reduce his chances of earning a good fee from a sale.

Manchester City Defender Ruben Dias is a target for Inter Milan, as a potential replacement for Yan Bisek.

gazzetta dello sport report Dias is ‘no longer safe’ at the Etihad as Enzo Maresca plans changes to the team he will inherit from Pep Guardiola.

Inter Milan eye a real coup

The newspaper reports that Bayern Munich are interested in Bisek but have not made a move yet. However, Inter are ready to change that, and have a replacement in mind.

The Italian champions will hope to sell Bisek for around €40m. Anything below that and they won’t listen to the offer at all. Such a figure would also allow them to target top-tier replacements.

One name in particular would attract Inter ‘more than any other’: Manchester City’s Ruben Dias.

Signing the Portuguese defender would be a ‘real coup’. It would also need to add a few million to the €40m it would get from selling Bisek. But there is a belief that Manchester City will listen to offers as Maresca reshapes his squad.

kanji example

However, there is precedent for Inter Milan striking a tough deal with City. They signed Manuel Akanji from the Etihad in a ‘highly lucrative’ deal last summer.

It was a loan that was conditional on his buying based on winning Serie A and appearing in more than 50% of his games.

In the end, he cost around €15m including wages. Ruben Dias will cost a lot. He will be worth no less than €50m and earns just over €6m per year. However, it is not impossible for Inter, especially if they get €40 million for Bisek.

For now, the potential deal is in its early stages. But Inter Milan’s interest is a sign of them thinking big. They want to connect youth with experience, and The Manchester City defender would contribute significantly later on.

wolverhampton wanderers They want to ‘recoup some of their investment’ on Ferret Lopez this summer if they can.

Sports Stadium Report on the 22-year-old today as Celta Vigo look to bring him back following his successful loan stint at the Spanish club.

wolves want to recover

The newspaper reports that Ferr López’s future is likely to be one of the issues that ‘stretches into the summer’. This is because at present, Wolves’ plans do not match those of Celta Vigo.

The only certainty at the moment is that the midfielder will return to Molineux at the end of his loan deal.

Celta want the player to return this summer after his successful loan spell since January. The player also wants this. He is feeling positive again after returning on loan to his former club after an unsuccessful spell at Wolves last summer.

Wolves are initially banking on him next season as they return to the Championship. They reportedly see him as a key player for Rob Edwards.

But if they were to consider a sale, they would want to ‘recoup some of their investment’ if possible. They paid €23m to sign him last summer.

Celta Vigo wants another loan

This conflicts with Celta Vigo’s plans, as they want to bring him back on loan. He already tried to agree an 18-month loan deal in January, but Wolves refused. The Spanish side would not be able to afford the asking price for a permanent deal.

Of course, Ferr Lopez’s own demands will make a difference. There could be something of a standoff in the summer transfer window as they clash with Wolves’ plans.

Sport Witness covered a report yesterday saying Celta Vigo expects long talks With Wolves for the midfielder. It may be a case of who has the strongest patience before Lopez’s future is resolved either way.

Emerged as an option for Schalke wolverhampton wanderersSasa Kalajdzic.

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

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

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

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

Schalke suggests an escape route

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Wolves should sell this summer

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

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

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

wolves There are still ways to benefit from the rise of Bastian Meupiou in Portugal – and the defender himself now looks set for a move elsewhere.

after Portuguese this month’s report Explaining that Wolves continue to monitor the 20-year-old centre-back’s progress at Alverca, the Frenchman’s latest comments have added another layer to the situation ahead of the summer window.

game Relay an interview where Meupiou reflected positively on his first full senior season in Portugal.

The defender admitted that the experience at Alverca “exceeded expectations” after arriving from Wolves last year. And the club still holds significant influence over his future.

As first reported in PortugalWolves inserted a buyback clause worth less than €1m (£850k) when they sold him to Alverca. They are also entitled to approximately 50% of future transfer fees.

In practice, Wolves could either bring him back cheaply or profit from a sale to another club.

Defenders signal big ambitions

Bastien Meupiau did nothing to calm transfer speculation when discussing interest elsewhere.

“Like any player, I want to play in the best competitions,” He accepted.

A number of European clubs are already following his progress after 31 appearances in one season under Custodio Castro.

The centre-back also explained why Alverca’s youth team has managed to exceed expectations this season.

“Solidarity,” He said. “Everyone made an effort and there was a lot of help on the pitch.”

“To be honest, the beginning was not easy, but we never gave up and always kept our heads high.”

Wolves remain important

Although Meupiou only played for Wolves’ U21 team before moving to Portugal, he spoke positively about his time at Molineux.

The French defender highlighted the opportunity to work with senior players such as Nelson Semedo and Pablo Sarabia during his tenure at the club.

Finally, if the club believes Meupiou is ready for Championship football, the buyback option gives Wolves an inexpensive way to strengthen their defence. If another club moves instead, Wolves are still set to collect a significant percentage of the transfer fee.

The situation in summer seems like a low-risk situation. The club can be happy with whatever happens next.

Celtic have no plans to keep Tomas Cavankara this summer and will send him back to Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of his loan deal.

Sport Bild Report That Celtic do not intend to take up the €8m option to sign the striker after his extremely disappointing loan spell this season.

celtic disappointment

The newspaper covers various loan players from Gladbach today. He explains how he has performed this season while away from the German club.

While some are bracing for a permanent exit, Tomas Cuancara will not be one of them. According to him, Celtic have no plans for the 25-year-old player. They beat Rangers to his signature in JanuaryBut it did not work out.

He managed to score two goals in only nine games in his loan debut at Celtic. He then missed the end of the season after undergoing back surgery.

Whatever he showed in Scotland has not been enough to convince the Scottish champions to exercise his €8m purchase option. Therefore, Cuancaura will return to Borussia this summer.

His contract with them is till 2028 and he can return to the team in July. But the Bundesliga side aren’t planning on using him either.

next move

The expectation was that he would be successful in Scotland after a disappointing loan spell at Antalyaspor in the first half of the campaign. But this has not been proven to be the case.

Since arriving at Celtic at the end of January he has managed to feature in only 32% of available minutes.

Although he scored goals in wins over Falkirk and Motherwell, as well as assists against Hearts and Kilmarnock, his numbers were unimpressive.

The striker failed to manage more than 72 minutes in any of his appearances. He also did not feature in the 1–0 win over St Mirren in April.

Now he is being sent back to Borussia Mönchengladbach. They need to find another suitor and hopefully they can recoup any of the €10.5m they paid to sign him in 2023. With a current valuation of €2m, this could be a difficult task.

SunderlandEliezer Mayenda is likely to leave the Premier League team in the summer.

The striker arrived at the Stadium of Light from FC Sochaux in July 2023, when the Black Cats were in the Championship.

Last season, he impressed for Sunderland, scoring 10 goals and five assists in 41 appearances.

This included the winner of the Championship playoff final against Sheffield United, which helped his team achieve promotion.

Since Sunderland’s return to the Premier League, the 21-year-old has not performed well. To put it into context, he scored two goals and one assist in 943 minutes in 23 matches this season.

Regis Le Bris gave him 70 minutes in four league matches since the end of February.

Future away from Sunderland

foot market There is a report on Eliezer Mayenda and his headline says he is ‘ready to take the next step’.

In the report, they say he is ‘expected’ to leave Sunderland in the upcoming window.

The outlet says the Spain U21 international has delivered ‘impressive performances’ over the past two seasons. This has attracted the attention of ‘several ambitious European clubs’, who have positioned themselves to secure his services.

There is no mention of details from these European clubs, but the report emphasizes that Mayenda is one of the most sought-after players on the market.

It’s worth noting that the player hasn’t performed consistently for Sunderland this season, but that hasn’t stopped the outlet from promoting him. It seems as if the attacker wants to escape from there and is trying to create atmosphere at Foot Mercato.

Black cats can open vents

Sunderland reportedly paid €1m to buy him from FC Sochaux and could make a profit from his sale in the summer.

In the winter market, Regis Le Bris were offered Eliezer Mayenda on loan from CA Osasuna as part of the deal for Victor Munoz. However, the Spanish club rejected their bid in terms of the latter’s €40m release clause.

The Black Cats were prepared to part ways with him in January and are unlikely to oppose his exit in the upcoming window.

Mayenda’s contract expires in 2030 and his value, according to transfer marketIs €18m.

Edson Alvarez needs to stay in Europe this summer, even if he moves west ham united After returning from a loan spell at Fenerbahce.

This is the opinion of Mexican journalist Raul ‘Polo’ Ortiz. His comments were broadcast by Marca.

return to west ham

Edson Alvarez is set to return to West Ham this summer after a season-long loan deal at Fenerbahce.

The Hammers were hoping the Turkish side would take up the option to buy the 28-year-old permanently, but they have decided against it.

Alvarez has barely featured for them this season, making just 12 appearances in the league. It was observed that he appeared in only 26% of the available minutes. It is seen that despite having already paid him €2m on loan, they decided against the option to buy.

The midfielder will therefore return to the London Stadium after competing at the World Cup with Mexico.

The question is what happens after that. He does not appear to be part of West Ham’s plans. And he will certainly be a player they will look to build on after falling short in the Championship this season.

live in europe

With a deal until 2028, this summer could be the last in which they can secure a good price for the midfielder too. He is currently valued at €15m. West Ham paid €38m for him in 2023.

Reports have linked him to a possible return to Mexico, but Ortiz believes that would be completely the wrong move at this point.

“Edson Alvarez should return to West Ham next season,” he said on the Fox Sports program +90.

“There’s talk that Rayados, Tigres and America could say, ‘You know what, come here.’ Two years ago he was close to joining Chelsea. And last year too there was talk of a return to Ajax.

“He should stay in Europe. Injuries have troubled him. But in my opinion, he has the level to continue playing in Europe.”

Feyenoord star Ayase Ueda has been told to ignore interest from the Premier League and particular nottingham forestin this summer.

Journalist René van der Gijp is not keen on a move for the 27-year-old, despite Feyenoord’s belief that the striker will move in the coming months. FR12 will cover his comments today.

nottingham forest interest

The Feyenoord forward has enjoyed his most productive season to date, finishing as the Eredivisie’s top goalscorer with 25 goals to his name. Overall, he has 40 goals and six assists in 108 games for the Dutch club.

His performances this season did not go unnoticed. A number of sides in the Premier League are reportedly considering a move for the striker this summer.

It is believed that Nottingham Forest is one of them. Reports in the Netherlands have made it clear that Feyenoord expect Ayase Ueda to leave this summer.

Indeed, Sport Witness recently covered Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie’s comments on the matter. He was skeptical about the striker’s survival in Rotterdam.

journalist unaffiliated

However, Van der Gijp is not confident about a move to the Premier League. And he is not particularly keen to see the striker join Nottingham Forest.

“Then I read Ueda has to go now; sign for four years if you’re enjoying yourself, boy. It’s good, isn’t it? You score 23 every season,” he said on Vandaag Inside.

“Then you go to Nottingham Forest; do you know how many points you get there? 4 if you’re lucky and you get a penalty. It’s no fun at all.”

For now, Ayase Ueda’s focus will be on the World Cup. He will be part of Japan’s squad for the tournament in the United States this summer.

Once the work is done there, the focus will probably turn to transfers. With a contract until 2028, there is no need for Feyenoord to sell on the cheap. He is currently valued at €15m, so they are already set to make a healthy profit on the €8m paid in 2023.

If a transfer does occur, Van der Gijp does not believe it should be to Nottingham Forest. He couldn’t be clear about his feelings on that idea.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Torino lead race for Wolves man

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Celta’s interest in the Wolves man is not surprising

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

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

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

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

Growing interest could be in Wolves’ favor

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

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

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

At the moment, the final destination is open. However, the feeling around Brighton is that Igor Julio’s chapter at the club is coming to an end.

bournemouth Forward Ryan arrived in England and immediately changed the atmosphere at the club.

The 19-year-old joined from Vasco da Gama in January and quickly became one of Bournemouth’s main attacking names.

Since his arrival, the Cherries have played 17 Premier League matches without defeat. The current undefeated run has also inspired the Brazilian media Frame Bournemouth as ‘Ryan’s Bournemouth’Arguing that the teenager has become the hero of the club’s recent rise.

This kind of form was always going to attract the attention of big clubs.

arsenal and manchester united While, has already been linked with the young player several major European sides He is expected to be kept under close watch during the World Cup with Brazil.

The hope in Brazil is that the tournament could be the moment when Europe’s elite seriously step up their search for an attacker.

But Bournemouth are trying to close the door on the matter before it escalates further.

Cherry is trying to hold on strong

according to espn brazilThe Premier League side have already made it clear to Ryan’s squad that they are not planning on selling him this summer, despite growing transfer interest and his recent call-up to the Brazil national football team.

Report says Bournemouth want to keep Both Ryan and fellow Brazilian Ivanilson As they prepare for the next season.

The stance suggests the club is trying to protect the core of the team that fueled their long unbeaten run and propelled Bournemouth into the European conversation this season.

Bournemouth’s message to the player’s camp appears to be very simple: the plan is to retain Ryan and continue building around him rather than making an instant buck.

The only thing that could seriously change the club’s stance would be a big World Cup move from Ryan, who would potentially make what the reports describe as “absurd” offers.

And given the pace of his rise, that scenario no longer seems unrealistic. In that context, local outlets Day Liverpool are now mentioned as an interested party.

Ryan forced his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil plans just months after landing in England. In Brazil, journalists and pundits are considering him as a genuine contender for the World Cup squad rather than a promising young player simply gaining experience.

Bonuses have already started after Brazil call-up

ESPN Brazil also claim that Ryan has already activated a contractual bonus following the Brazil call-up.

Importantly, the bonus was included in his Bournemouth contract before he even received an international call-up, which says a lot about how strongly the club believed in his long-term trajectory when they signed him from Vasco.

The money goes directly to the player and does not generate additional income for Vasco.

Nevertheless, the Brazilian club may continue to receive future bonuses tied to performance terms agreed upon during the transfer. They reportedly include Premier League survival, appearances, sporting objectives and other targets linked to his development in England.

For Bournemouth, it all reinforces the feeling that they have got one of the biggest deals involving a Brazilian youth in recent years.

The club paid around €35m (£30m) to sign him in January. For now, it looks like money well spent.

Sunderland Marseille have emerged as contenders to sign Geoffrey Kondogbia.

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

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

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

Sunderland interested in Kondogbia

Three years later, the French-born Central African Republic would move to the International Premier League.

is according to media footWho report that the Black Cats are showing interest in Geoffrey Kondogbia.

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Sunderland hope to repeat Xhaka’s success

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

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

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

tottenham He may still want to keep Joao Palhinha permanently. However, the growing mood in Portugal is that the midfielder is already planning a move out of North London.

That sentiment is growing stronger with every new report about Sporting’s summer rebuild.

according to to ballThe Lisbon side are already shaping their next midfield with the expectation that Palhinha could arrive this summer. As he said, Sporting’s midfield next season will be “Palhinha and a new six”.

Sporting is now being planned around Palhinha

The report states that Sporting are looking to pair Palhinha with another defensive midfielder. In other words, the club’s plan is to treat his return as a done deal.

Real Betis player Sergi Altimira and Hacken youngster Silas Andersson are both on the shortlist to become the ‘number six’.

The report also states that a loan with an option to buy currently seems to be the most financially realistic formula for Sporting.

Player ready to help move forward

Palhinha’s stance continued to encourage the Portuguese side.

Both A said and morning mail It has also been claimed that the midfielder is willing to take a pay cut to facilitate a return to Sporting this summer. Apart from this, family reasons are also presented as a major factor behind his thinking.

But that doesn’t mean that Tottenham haven’t given up. De Zerbi still wants Pelhinha to be part of his project and, if the player agrees, Spurs remain favorites to sign him permanently.

There is another factor also involved. A Bola says Pelhinha does not want to openly discuss leaving Tottenham before securing the club’s Premier League survival.

The midfielder reportedly felt it would be unfair to create instability while Spurs were still fighting near the bottom of the table.

However, As we covered earlierNegotiations are already being held by the players’ representatives. Presumably, his aim is to present a possible transfer scenario with the Portuguese side. Later, those paths may be presented to the player at the end of the season.

However, the situation now seems to be escalating rapidly. And in Portugal, the story is increasingly being framed as a comeback that is already being actively built behind the scenes.

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

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

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

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

His league statistics this season are as follows:

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

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

Manchester United keen on Ryerson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Bundesliga side have secured a €22m purchase option and two months ago, Sport Witness broadcast news They are asking for a discount from Arsenal.

Later that month, the attacking midfielder said he would make a decision on his future after this season.

That time, He said: : “Everyone knows I still have a contract with Arsenal. So, wait until the end of the season. Then we’ll talk about it and see what we can do.”

3 April, Hamburg Board member Eric Heuer said There will be talks with Arsenal to purchase the 25-year-old player. The official also insisted that the Portuguese is not part of the Gunners’ long-term plans.

“I’m very happy here this season. I can feel that the fans really love me. Whether I stay or leave, I will always be grateful to the club. They have done everything for me.” He said.

It is clear they will not pay the €22m buyout clause but will still fight to keep him. It won’t be easy as other clubs are also keeping an eye on the former FC Porto man. If Hamburg sign him, Bild say it would be a fee of around €7-8m.

“In a few weeks, I will sit down with my family, my agents and Arsenal and see what is the best option for me. But for now, I am just looking forward to my holidays, just switching off and not thinking about football.” Vieira explained.

“I have to be open to everything. Let’s see what happens. I feel the love of the fans and the club. They all love me.”

When asked specifically if he could imagine living in Hamburg, he said: “I can’t say anything right now. Whatever the future holds, I’m very happy here and will always be grateful to HSV. The club has done everything for me; the support has been amazing.”

Our opinion: Arsenal must sell

Fabio Vieira’s contract at the Emirates expires in 2027. Therefore, Mikel Arteta’s team will have to sell him in the upcoming window to avoid losing him for free next year.

Hamburg SV or any other club can take advantage of this and sign him at a reasonable price.

liverpoolInterest in RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande has been a frequent topic of discussion this year.

In January, the winger expressed his desire to join the Reds and encouraged them to contact him.

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!”

on 13th April the 19 year old said He is pleased with the multiple reports of interest from the Reds and other clubs.

Later that month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany About Liverpool meeting his agent.

The Ivory Coast international scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists in 36 matches in his first season at Leipzig. His impressive performances have already attracted the interest of top clubs across Europe.

Liverpool and others shocked

football transfers The Premier League side are reportedly seriously considering signing him, along with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

RB Leipzig are demanding €100m for Yann Diomande, while also working on renewing his contract.

The attacker has given a fresh interview to Kicker and the FT has released his comments.

When asked if he would stay at Leipzig next season, he said: “Yes.”

There is no release clause in his contract, which expires in 2030, making it more challenging for those wanting him.

Although the player has ruled out a move out in the upcoming window, his dream of a move to a bigger club in the future remains intact.

“I am under contract at Leipzig and I enjoy playing here. But after that, no one knows what will happen. Everyone has ambitions, including me. My dream is to play at the highest level.” Diomande explained.

Our opinion: Liverpool need to look for alternatives

Mohamed Salah has already confirmed his decision to leave Anfield after this season and the Reds need to sign his replacement.

Yann Diomande has been the main contender, but his latest comments rule out a summer transfer.

Therefore, Liverpool will have to look for other options to replace the outgoing Salah. they have TSG Hoffenheim star Bazoumana Toure In their target list.

The Houston Astros enter MLB games today with the second-worst record in the American League, with a top-10 lineup suppressed by the worst pitching staff in baseball. With this proving to be a disastrous year for Houston, the struggles could force the front office to make roster moves at the MLB trade deadline.

FanSided’s Robert Murray wrote that if the Astros ultimately decide to become sellers this summer, the most likely players to be moved are infielder Isaac Paredes and first baseman Christian Walker.

Houston entered the weekend with an 18-28 record, leaving it 10 games short of .500, but just four games behind the Texas Rangers for the third wild card spot in the American League. The club is also just six games behind the first-place Sacramento Athletics in the AL West, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the club could bounce back this summer and get back into playoff contention.

The question is whether or not the Astros pitching staff can get to a place where this team can compete. Hunter Brown, sidelined with a shoulder problem, is on the 60-day injured list and isn’t expected to return until sometime in June. Meanwhile, Ronel Blanco (elbow) is still only throwing bullpen sessions, and Cristian Javier is early in the throwing schedule and won’t return until the summer.

To put the Astros’ pitching problems into perspective, they have the worst ERA in MLB (5.47) and are the only club in baseball with an ERA over 5. Starting pitching (5.16 ERA, 29th in MLB) has been an issue, but the bullpen (5.81 ERA) has been the biggest culprit.

Luckily for Houston, Walker is helping his trade value significantly this summer. In the second year of a three-year, $60 million contract, his batting average (.235 to .268), OBP (.297 to .342) and OPS (.717 to .848) have skyrocketed compared to last season.

Paredes is making $9.5 million this season, and he has a club option for 2027 worth $13.35 million. The 27-year-old infielder has a .734 OPS with a .257 batting average this season in 34 appearances at third base, six at first and three at second base.

For Philadelphia 76ers fans expecting notable roster changes this summer, a new report from ESPN has mostly bad news for you.

There were high expectations for the Sixers’ postseason chances in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. They made a stunning comeback from down 3-1 in the opening round series and eliminated the Boston Celtics. Several sports analysts also suggested that they were the former favorites to reach the NBA Finals. They then ran into the New York Knicks buzzsaw and were eliminated from the playoffs.

Change was clearly coming, and it came Tuesday when they officially fired president of basketball operations Daryl Morey. Head coach Nick Nurse will stay on for at least one more season, but what about his roster? This was clearly not enough to defeat New York. Additionally, busted stars Joel Embiid and Paul George are costly obstacles to improving the roster.

Many have suggested in recent days that the 76ers won’t do much this summer. And it seems that sports officials believe they shouldn’t. A Western executive told ESPN, “Run it back, manage Joel as best you can, be a playoff team and try to stay healthy. I think you can do a lot at the margin.”

Additionally, ESPN NBA insider Tim Bontemps said, “It doesn’t make sense for Philadelphia to pay a heavy price of assets to give up any veteran star.”

Team President’s ‘catchy’ debut thanks to Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe

Yet making a move on the sidelines, as the West executive has suggested, may be difficult, because as NBA insider Brian Windhorst points out in the same report, the 76ers are apparently avoiding moving closer to the second NBA tax apron. This is reportedly why they moved Jared McCann before this year’s trade deadline, and has made similar trades in recent years.

However, the ESPN report offers some hope. Although the Sixers have stuck with George and Embiid, teams all around the game have relied heavily on the backcourt duo of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. An East executive told the outlet that they are “arguably the most exciting backcourt in the entire league.”

Additionally, multiple executives who spoke to NBA insiders claimed that the young and talented duo is a major reason why the chance to become the next team president is “tempting” for potential candidates.

nottingham forest Striker Lorenzo will not sign with Lucca on a permanent basis this summer when his loan from Napoli expires.

tutomercatoweb Report that Nottingham Forest have already informed Napoli of their decision. The Italian side now need to find a new destination for the 25-year-old.

nottingham forest decision

The website reports that Nottingham Forest have made a definitive decision on the Napoli striker, who joined on loan in the January transfer window. That deal included an option to buy, but Nottingham Forest would not exercise it.

It comes as the striker has so far managed just one goal in nine games and 361 minutes during his time in England. Now he has informed Napoli about it.

Antonio Conte’s side must now find a new home for Lucca this summer. This shouldn’t prove too complicated, but a permanent transfer is unlikely as he cost Napoli €34 million.

bologna option

Bologna is a possible destination. He made a ‘subtle but very solid’ move to Lucca in the January transfer window. That move never materialized as he moved to Nottingham Forest on loan.

But despite this he has a keen interest in the striker. To finance the move, they will need to sell Thijs Delinga and recoup the €15 million investment they made in the Dutchman in the summer of 2024. He was to leave before Lucca joined Nottingham Forest. Now there is a possibility of his revival.

Lucca’s move to the City Ground can be described as a disaster. He has only managed four Premier League games so far, but has made five appearances in the Europa League. At least it can be said that they did not have the impact they were hoping for.

He is now set to return to Italy this summer, with another move within Serie A the most likely option for him. After Nottingham Forest made their stance clear, it’s something that Napoli will have to work on.

A new report suggests that if it’s up to Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves, LeBron James will be back in Los Angeles next season.

On Monday, the Lakers saw a disappointing end to their 2025-26 campaign as the Oklahoma City Thunder completed a stunning four-game sweep of the NBA Playoffs semifinals. Following their 115–110 loss at home, speculation immediately began regarding James’ future.

As of now, the basketball icon is unsure whether he will play again next season. However, if he does so, Los Angeles remains the favorite to retain his services. Nevertheless, there have been multiple reports regarding a growing rift between management and the 22-time All-Star as he reportedly feels he has been “taken for granted” by the team’s front office.

However, the big question is his fit in this team. Doncic and Reaves will be the faces of the franchise for a long time, especially if the Lakers sign a new long-term contract this summer. His views on James’ return will certainly be important for the management. And if it matters much, the four-time MVP will be back in purple and gold next season.

Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves both want LeBron James to re-sign with the LA Lakers

“A report that Los Angeles Lakers stars Luka Doncic and LeBron James are not getting along is not true,” sources reportedly told the Dallas Hoops Journal. “Doncic and James have a positive relationship, and Doncic wants James to rejoin the Lakers this summer.”

“Austin Reaves, who will decline his player option for next season, is expected to re-sign with the Lakers this summer,” the outlet said. “The undrafted guard also has a close relationship with James and wants James to continue playing for the Purple and Gold if he does not retire from the NBA.”

At least when it comes to the Lakers’ top two players moving forward, they both want the future Hall of Famer back on the team for at least one more season.

chelsea’s It is becoming easier to understand the interest in Victor Frohold at FC Porto with each passing week.

The midfielder has become one of the faces of Porto’s title-winning campaigns. He is one of the most talked about young midfielders in Europe. Furthermore, he has increasingly become a player Premier League clubs are drawing serious plans around.

Chelsea is one of the most linked clubs Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United. However, there is an extra layer added to the Blues’ situation with uncertainty surrounding Enzo Fernandez’s future at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Portuguese press, Chelsea are interested Directly linked to Enzo’s eventual departure. This background helps to explain why the London Club has intensified its monitoring of the freehold.

And Dane’s praise from all quarters is growing louder.

Porto is already thinking long term

Francesco Farioli has now publicly addressed the growing relocation noise around Freehold. Furthermore, his comments left no doubt as to Porto’s intentions.

talking to gameThe Porto manager pointed directly to the midfielder’s own recent comments regarding his desire to stay. He also wants to play Champions League football with the club next season.

“I think his words after the last game were very clear about where he wants to play next season and how he feels here at FC Porto.” Farioli said.

The Italian also made Porto’s wider strategy very clear.

“There is a clear desire and intention to move forward on the right path, trying to keep the best players and progress this group.”

Farioli also confirmed that talks are already taking place behind the scenes ahead of the summer market.

“There are discussions and negotiations with players, agents and clubs to understand the situation,” Emphasizing that Porto wants to be, he explained “Ready to make the right decision when the market comes.”

This is in line with what has been consistently coming out of Portugal in recent weeks. Porto want to keep Froholdt as a core part of the team. This is especially important ahead of their return to the Champions League after two years away.

“A unique player”

In fact the loudest praise is coming from Denmark. game This week we spoke to former Copenhagen academy coordinator Martin Wingard and former Denmark international Morten Bisgaard. Both personalities worked closely with Frohold before his rise to prominence in Porto.

Both paint a picture of a player whose mentality set him apart long before he reached senior football.

“He was always a hard-working player with a top-level mentality,” Vineyard explained.

The former academy coordinator revealed that Fröholdt consistently dominated every race and endurance test at the Copenhagen Academy, even when more attention was given to the bigger talents around him.

“When it comes to hard work, no one can beat Froholdt.”

Wingard also highlighted the midfielder’s consistency and mentality in big matches.

“He loves big games and is never afraid,” the former coach explained before adding another line that comes up when discussing Froholdt’s influence.

“It was always easy to notice whether he was on the pitch or not.”

He also believes that Porto have found the ideal role for the midfielder. While Denmark has used Froholdt in a number of positions, Wingard feels the Porto system allows him to show his best qualities as a number eight.

“He just loves playing football. He doesn’t care who he’s facing, he just wants to play well and win.”

Bisgaard was equally powerful.

“He is a unique player,” the former Udinese striker said while discussing Froholdt’s rise.

“You have Messi and Ronaldo, who are incredibly good because of the goals they score, but Frohold’s mentality and dedication could make him one of the best players in Europe.”

“What surprised me was how quickly he reached the second level in Portugal,” Bisgaard explained.

“He was very good at under-17 level, brilliant at under-19, but when he reached the Copenhagen first team he immediately became extraordinary. He has done exactly that at FC Porto.”

Bisgaard even suggested that Fröhold should stay in Portugal for the next one, two or three seasons as the club provided the stability needed for the next stage of his development.

“If he continues like this, he will become FC Porto’s next big sale”He concluded.

what happens next

Chelsea’s interest is unlikely to wane, especially as questions over Enzo Fernandez continue to loom in the background.

At the same time, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle are firmly in the race, and Porto are aware that the summer market could move very quickly once formal discussions have begun.

However, the player wants to stay. The manager wants to keep him. Porto wants to build around him. So this combination could ultimately delay any immediate Premier League move, even though England’s biggest clubs are already preparing themselves for the future.

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin spent some time in DC after the season ended. However, the 40-year-old is officially heading back to his native Russia for the summer.

Ovechkin recently completed his 21st season with the Capitals. Now, he will look to make a decision on his future as he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer.

According to Russian news outlet TASS, Ovechkin and his family are scheduled to arrive in Moscow, Russia on Wednesday. The 40-year-old’s wife, Nastya Ovechkina, posted a photo on Instagram of their two sons sitting on top of the luggage.

At media breakdown day, Ovechkin said he was “pretty sure” he had not played his final NHL game. However, their decision will depend on health and family circumstances. The Great 8’s sons, Sergei and Ilya, want him to play another year.

“I tell them, ‘We’ll see.’ They’re excited,” Ovechkin said. “They want me to come back because they love the city, and they love the team, and they love the guys.”

More importantly, Ovechkin hopes the Capitals will compete for another Stanley Cup by his return.

“That’s probably the biggest thing,” Ovechkin said. “Otherwise, if you take different scenarios, like family-wise, health-wise, but also team-wise, that’s the most important thing for me.”

Ovechkin finished the 2025–26 season with 64 points (32 goals, 32 assists) while appearing in all 82 games for the Capitals. Meanwhile, the team missed the playoffs for just the fifth time during The Great 8’s tenure in DC.

The Philadelphia 76ers need to move on from Joel Embiid, and this summer is one possible way to do it. But that would mean acquiring another expensive, injury-plagued big man, and it could cost them their first-round pick in June.

There were high expectations for the Sixers’ postseason chances in Philadelphia a week ago. They made a stunning comeback from 3-1 down to eliminate the Boston Celtics in the first round. Many analysts around the game suggested that they were the new favorites from the East to reach the NBA Finals. Then they ran into a buzz saw called the New York Knicks.

The organization has a lot of decisions to make after the 76ers’ dominance and loss to New York. Is Daryl Morey’s run as team president over? Should coach Nick Nurse be fired? Still, for whoever is running the team next month, one era that needs to end is Embiid’s time in the City of Brotherly Love.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers should trade Joel Embiid this summer

The seven-time All-Star and 2022-23 NBA MVP will go down as one of the greatest players in 76ers history. That would be one of the greatest “what if” stories in league history. Despite once being an impressive athlete for a man of his size, the 32-year-old’s body is now in disrepair. In his 10 years in the league, he has played 60 or more games only four times due to numerous injuries, mostly to his legs.

In 2025-26, the 76ers placed him in bubble wrap and allowed him to play in only 38 games this season after appearing in 19 last year. Although he can perform at an All-Star level when healthy – he has posted 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks this season – his body cannot be trusted at all. This was proven during these playoffs, and with $186 million left on his contract, he is a bigger problem than a benefit for the organization.

What makes it even worse is that he has become a toxic personality at a time when Tyrese Maxey should be the new face of the franchise. He once again could not accept his team’s failures against the Knicks and blamed the referees. Then the season in which he played 38 games was called a “breakthrough”. In a blue-collar city like Philadelphia, Embiid has worn out his welcome. The 76ers will have to turn the pages to progress.

Yet, because he is so composed and has shown that he will never be able to recapture his previous form – plus he is owed so much money – he is perhaps the most unattainable player in the NBA. Unless he was traded for a similar player, and a sweetener was added to the deal.

Should the 76ers try to replace Anthony Davis with Joel Embiid?

In many ways, 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis has had a similar career to Embiid. He also topped superstar projections. And while he could be a dominant force on the court like Embiid, injury problems followed him throughout his career. Besides, he still has a lot of money coming in. If Davis opts out of the final year of his contract in 2027-28, he could make up to $121 million over the next two years.

The Washington Wizards traded for him earlier this year and hope he – and Trae Young – can be part of a big resurgence next season. Still, reports have revealed that he is not thrilled about playing in DC, and may be open to another trade. But would the Wizards be willing to take Embiid back in a trade? Probably not.

However, if the 76ers were bold enough to add draft picks, they could do so. While Washington is expected to make big changes next season, they are still a rebuilding team that has the No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA Draft. What if they could also get the 22nd overall pick in one of the deepest drafts ever? Plus another first-rounder in a few years?

This would be a high cost for the 76ers. But they have the pieces to be very good again next season and they aren’t as eager to keep that pick at 22. Moving Embiid would be an addition by subtraction move. Plus, having Davis around even for one season is still a very good replacement option.

Although a trade is unlikely, if the 76ers can convince anyone to take Joel Embiid, his play and his contract, the Wizards would be the best trade partner.

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

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

That context inevitably brings flamengo back in the picture.

Flamengo’s interest refuses to disappear

As previously covered by Sport WitnessFlamengo have long admired Castellanos.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The profile is still seen as ideal

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

Alisson signs a new deal liverpool Two months ago, but Juventus has not given up on the goalkeeper.

The Brazil international’s contract now expires in 2027, giving the Reds more control over the player.

sports witness The Italian media have covered Alisson’s move positively. Juve could also offer a player in the deal, which could potentially make things easier.

But there is talk that the Old Lady may struggle to pay the full package of a transfer. This includes the player’s salary and signing-on fee, even though Alisson has expressed openness to returning to Italy.

Now, Liverpool’s stance is becoming clearer and a summer move is becoming more difficult.

Reds blamed for transfer struggle

tuttosport Alisson’s move to Turin is reportedly gaining momentum by the day. Juve is in constant contact with the Brazilian squad.

But when Liverpool is mentioned the report contradicts itself. Their demands will be the ‘main basis’ of any move but negotiations between the two sides are expected to be difficult.

With intense weeks of discussions ahead, Ellison is said to be keen on a deal. This makes the move look promising but it will be difficult for Liverpool to deal. Their price tag has not been mentioned, but it is believed that the deal will be expensive and will require further discussion.

The Old Lady are desperate for a goalkeeper, with Michele Di Gregorio’s future in doubt. His exit in the summer will make signing the stopper a priority over the next few months.

Our take: Deal probably won’t happen

It seems that Tuttosport is working in its classic way which favors Juve, even if their information is contradictory.

This is also mainly due to Alisson’s entourage, who could push for a transfer. This does not mean that the 33-year-old will definitely leave Liverpool and Juve will have to pay a significant package to afford him.

The Italian media have mentioned the idea of ​​swapping Di Gregorio, but ideally the Italian would like to be first choice. he wouldn’t want to hang out with Giorgi Mamardashvili is making things difficult for the ex-Monza player.

A new rumor is great news for the Miami Heat’s planned exploration of a blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade this summer.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Heat found themselves playing in the NBA Play-in Tournament. However, unlike the previous three times, Miami was unable to advance in the mini-tournament and the streak of six playoff appearances this spring ended.

Although they made it to the NBA Finals after an incredible performance a few years ago, the Heat have only had 50-plus wins in one season in the last decade. A case can be made that Miami should consider a major roster overhaul and rebuild. Still, it seems very unlikely for this proud franchise, and they will definitely be out star hunting this summer. Milwaukee Bucks great Giannis Antetokounmpo is sure to be at the top of his wish list.

Unlike February, a trade seems highly likely, especially since Bucks management has publicly claimed that they will not confirm that the two-time MVP will return next season. Furthermore, the number of teams interested and the trade packages offered will be even better this summer than in the winter. So there will be a lot of competition in Miami in terms of business.

The Heat should emerge as the favorites for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade this summer

They may submit a strong offer, but a new report on Friday night made their chances of winning the bid even stronger. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Antetokounmpo will definitely “put his foot on the scale” and “push toward the team he wants to play for, and that part is also going to be a big factor.”

While many teams will be interested in the 10-time All-Star, there are also some cities he wants to visit. He surprisingly dismissed the city of Los Angeles last month as “superficial.” The Golden State Warriors will have a chance because of the reputation of the brand and talent on the roster.

New York is reportedly his favorite place. However, if this team reaches the NBA Finals and wins the championship, it is likely that the management will not break up this group.

That means Miami could emerge as the favorite in the trade sweepstakes. Especially if it entails moving to a specific city. Few NBA stars would give up the chance to live in South Beach.

The Lions intend to use his desire to return home to their advantage. They see him as a business opportunity, as other players in his position are potentially departing.

Palhinha is currently on loan at Tottenham from Bayern Munich. Roberto De Zerbi has expressed his desire to keep the 30-year-old long-term.

But the midfielder wants to return to Portugal after his divorce to be closer to his children, who are still young. To do this he has expressed his willingness to reduce his salary.

return to portugal

A Bola report gives similar information. They reveal that Sporting will be restructuring their midfield this summer and Joao Palinha is one of the names they are keeping a close eye on.

According to their information, Palhinha will return from Tottenham to Bayern Munich this summer.

When this happens, they intend to make their move. They would prefer a loan, but believe it is possible to negotiate a permanent deal. Bayern want €30 million but Sporting believe they can reduce it.

The newspaper echoes the view that Palhinha would love to join his former club. And the player will be given a very warm welcome upon returning to Portugal ‘for family reasons’.

Sporting players are also waiting to see what Tottenham does. He has expressed his desire to keep her with him and this may complicate matters. However, ultimately the decision will have to be made by Palhinha. And in Portugal he believes he wants to go home above everything else.

tottenham Defender Luka Vuckovic wants to move on this summer even if Spurs manage to stay in the Premier League.

Sport reports that his agentPini Zahawi is already working to drum up interest. They are currently trying to talk Barcelona to a move for the 19-year-old.

tottenham’s future uncertain

The newspaper reports that Luka Vuckovic’s future will be decided in the coming weeks. He is currently a man in demand after an impressive season on loan at HSV Hamburg from Tottenham.

He has become one of the breakout stars of the Bundesliga and is one of the ‘most sought-after defenders’ on the market.

His agent, Pini Zahavi, was in Barcelona this week and met with the club on Friday to discuss various business. He is ‘putting pressure’ on the Catalans to sign the Tottenham defender. For now, Barcelona’s focus is elsewhere.

He will also face resistance from Tottenham, who do not want to sell the youngster this summer. Whether they will have any say or not is another matter.

€15m to €60m

Luka Vuckovic is an in-demand figure and his value has increased from €15m to €60m this season. Spurs paid €11 million, so be prepared to make a huge profit in any sale.

His future will likely depend on what happens with Tottenham this season. If they are removed, there is a possibility of mass migration. Vuckovic will be among those thinking of leaving.

In fact, Sport reports that no matter what happens with Tottenham, he wants to leave. That’s why their representatives are working and putting pressure on Barcelona to make a bid. For now, the Catalans are protesting. They would prefer to spend big money on a more experienced defender if the need arises.

However, this is an opinion that may change. and together Pini Zahawi is at his best Behind the scenes, there’s a good chance they suddenly decide Vuckovic is the guy they want to move on.

Manu Kone’s future at AS Roma is becoming uncertain Newcastle United’s The move may depend on a few key factors.

The Frenchman has become one of the Italian club’s best players over the past few seasons. He has become synonymous with his ability to overcome press and move the ball into advanced areas.

This has made him very important to Gian Piero Gasperini, whose system relies on man-marking and players like Kone have a very special role. He has played 35 times in all competitions this season and scored five goals during this period.

sports witness Newcastle United have covered interest in the midfielder, who was chased by Inter Milan last summer.

Details are now emerging about Kone and how Newcastle United could potentially land him.

Roma Director Anarchy

messenger Look at a potential sale from Roma for FFP reasons and they describe Kone as a prime candidate for departure.

He is seen as one of the ‘players on display’ at the Giallorossi. He is seen as an ‘excellent option’ whose exit would help Roma from a financial perspective.

Newcastle United, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are keen. The Nerazzurri in particular are looking to make a fresh approach and defeat the Magpies. But Roma are in a bit of trouble off the field at the moment.

The future of sporting director Ricky Massara is uncertain, with adviser Claudio Ranieri having left two weeks ago. Massara’s replacement has not yet been found and this will determine Kone’s sales.

Gasperini is going to hold an important meeting with the ownership regarding this. He knows that the appointment of the director will decide the future of many players including Cone. The Italian would ideally not like to lose the French but financial reasons will weigh on him.

Our opinion: Who will add value to the midfield

Newcastle United themselves could lose at least one midfielder in the summer. Sandro Tonali is popular in many clubs and so is Bruno Guimarães.

Manu Kone’s profile makes him suitable for the Premier League, as he can play deep in midfield or as a number eight.

Anything around €45 million could really be a bargain for the France international. Kon is only 24 years old, he has huge European experience, he has also played for France more than ten times. He is a proven midfielder who could truly become one of the best in Europe – if fitness allows.

If everything goes right, this could be one of the best transfers of the summer.

Hertha BSC have ‘recently’ contacted Birmingham City striker Marvin Dakhsh about a return to Germany this summer.

BILD reports that the 2. Bundesliga side The 32-year-old man has reportedly been questioned and has spoken to his agents.

The Birmingham City striker’s agents have been contacted

The newspaper points out that RTL/NTV initially reported that the Berlin club had made an inquiry about the Birmingham striker. According to information from BILD, the German club has recently contacted representatives of Dachshund.

Their understanding is that Daksch was already a target of Hertha this season. It remains to be seen whether the transfer can take place this summer.

The striker has ten goals for Birmingham City this season and is under contract until 2028, but according to BILD, he could leave St Andrews this summer for ‘a small transfer fee’. He cost the Blues €2 million last summer, so perhaps this is the fee being considered.

Hertha would like him to help them get back to the Bundesliga. They sit third this season, but are one point behind second-place SV Elversberg, and level on points with fourth-place Paderborn.

promotion scoring campaign

Even if they get promotion, he could still be the goalscorer they need next season. If it’s another promotion race, he has experience in that too.

Dakash achieved the feat with Werder Bremen in the 2021/22 season. The striker scored 20 goals that season. Hertha would be open to a long-term partnership despite the 32-year-old.

He will be the replacement for David Kownacki, who is set to return to Werder Bremen in the summer transfer window. Hertha began pursuing Dachsch as that loan deal expired.

It remains to be seen whether the Birmingham City striker wants the move or not. The move to Birmingham last summer was his first move outside England and he may be reluctant to leave so soon. However, Hertha are in contact with their representatives regardless.

napoli has put brighton and hove albion Striker Ivan Ferguson is at the top of their wish list as they look for a replacement for Rasmus Hjolund.

courier del mezzogiorno The report adds that sporting director Giovanni Manna is already active in the transfer market for next season to find a replacement for the Danish forward.

Brighton striker tops this list

The newspaper reports that Romelu Lukaku is in the squad, but is expected to leave this summer. The Belgian has been left out of the Serie A squad after staying in Belgium for injury treatment against the club’s wishes.

This has strained his relationship with them And now options are being explored. Manna is working on multiple profiles while trying to save the bank from collapse.

According to the newspaper, Ivan Ferguson of Brighton is ‘at the top’ of current thinking. He has spent a season on loan at Roma, but it has not been good. They’re not buying him out at the end of the season.

It could give Napoli the chance to ‘take advantage of the opportunity’ for a striker they have ‘always admired’ for his physical strength. However, there is no mention of how much Napoli would be willing to spend.

However, Corriere makes it clear that Manna has to be careful with finances and needs to ‘cut costs’ at the club overall. This shows that they will not come and offer Brighton a big sum.

Loan deal looks likely

Transfermarket currently values ​​the 21-year-old at €25m. This is a significantly lower fee than his value of €65m in 2023. However, there is little chance of Napoli spending that kind of money on him at this point.

Instead, this interest is very likely to develop into a loan bid. That’s what they did with Rasmus Hjolund this season.

He paid a €6m loan fee to Manchester United for the season. They’ll make it permanent this summer. A similar deal for Ivan Ferguson could make sense and would be in line with the need to cut costs.

For now, it looks like Manna is simply preparing his list of options, but the Brighton striker is at the top of it.

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

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

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

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

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

Barcelona approach for Tottenham man

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

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

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

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

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

Sorting out Spurs’ future needs

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

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

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

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

Last week, Sport Witness covered a front page report from Spain on Barcelona’s interest chelseaMark Cucurella.

The source said the left-back wants to leave Chelsea following turmoil following Enzo Maresca’s exit in January.

This report came out a few days later The Spanish press initially covered Barcelona’s desire to snatch him from Chelsea.

Hansi Flick has Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin as his two left-backs at the Camp Nou and it has been claimed that Barca are open to the sale of Balde.

Cucurella is not the only one on the La Liga winners’ radar for the left-back position. The Brazilian’s latest claims reflect their interest in AS Monaco’s Caio Henrique.

Chelsea star signing complicated

game Broadcast Brazil’s claims and then explain how Barcelona and AS Monaco could work on a potential deal.

Barca’s Ansu Fati is on loan at the Ligue 1 side, and the winger could be used in any talks for Caio Henrique.

Mark Cucurella and Bayer Leverkusen’s Alejandro Grimaldo are also on the Catalan club’s shortlist.

There are claims the Spain international wants to leave Stamford Bridge after this season. However, it will be difficult for the fullback to return to Barcelona in the next window.

SPORT STATE It will be complicated for Barça to sign the 27-year-old Chelsea player due to his price.

sports world Also broadcast the claims of Henrique as an option for the Spanish giants and then talk about Cucurella.

The Blues defender was initially their priority target but Chelsea have now set a high price for him. There is no mention of the figure but whatever it is, it is enough for Barcelona to pique their interest.

It seems that Hansi Flick’s team has given up on him and are now focusing on options like Grimaldo.

Our opinion: The Spaniard should stay at Chelsea

Mark Cucurella’s contract is until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €50 million.

It is unclear whether any of the top European clubs will be able to meet Chelsea’s price for Mark Cucurella. Therefore, he should remain in the English capital beyond the next window.

The fullback has played 3,437 minutes in 45 matches for the Premier League side this season.

Sunderland Having previously tried to sign Andre-Frank Zambo Anguilla from Napoli, he has been given encouragement for another move.

Last summer, there were doubts over the Cameroon international’s future at Naples. This came as Napoli won their second Serie A title in three years, with the midfielder once again making a key contribution.

That’s when Sunderland attempted to sign the ex-Fulham player upon their return to the top-flight. sports witness Covered his approach, as Zambo Anguilla preferred to compete for silverware for Napoli rather than head to the Stadium of Light.

There were indications that his family were keen to return to England, but that did not change the 30-year-old’s mind.

Now, things are changing and Regis Le Bris’ team has been given a chance.

napoli now open for sale

Il Mattino – relayed by footballnapoli1926There are reports that several Napoli players could end up in England in the summer.

There is a possibility that Zambo Anguilla goes down that route. The newspaper has made it clear that if the Black Cats come forward to Cameroon, this time they will ‘not find the door closed’.

The Italian giants are aware that they may be forced to sell some key players this summer. Zambo Anguissa is now seen as a senior member of the team, but he could depart in 2027 with his current deal intact.

This makes 2026 the last opportunity for Napoli to make some significant earnings from player sales.

Zambo Anguissa’s family are also believed to be keen to return to England. This could swing things in Sunderland’s favour, as Napoli are currently prioritizing a sale over Premier League clubs.

Our View: The Black Cats must rise to the occasion

The former Fulham man is unlikely to spend much on a move in the summer due to his contract situation.

Last summer, Sunderland signed a Premier League-proven midfielder in Granit Xhaka. Like the Swiss star, Zambo Anguilla has also won league titles while away from the English top-flight. He is even younger than Xhaka was when he arrived at the Stadium of Light.

The only drawback to this move would be Zambo Anguilla’s recent fitness record. He has struggled physically this season and it has held him back throughout the campaign.

But for a low fee, he could be a gamble worth taking on for Sunderland.

nottingham forest I want to sign Rayo Vallecano’s Nobel Mendy in the summer.

The La Liga side signed him from Real Betis on loan with a conditional purchase obligation last summer.

Two days ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain That Rayo Vallecano will pay €2.4m to buy him.

That’s because Nottingham Forest, Benfica and Atalanta are all very keen and ready to submit high offers.

Before today, we broadcast news Despite monitoring the centre-back, Benfica are not yet ready to take action. The Eagles are waiting to hear about the futures of Nicolas Otamendi and Antonio Silva before making a move.

Nottingham Forest interests supported

Saturday edition of game Benfica have a different view and support the interest of Nottingham Forest.

The Portuguese club is really keen for Nobel Mendy to make his stay at Rayo Vallecano permanent. The latter are confident of making a quick profit from his sale in the next window and are requesting €12m.

There is also interest from Vítor Pereira’s side, and Benfica need to outbid them to secure his signature.

Nottingham Forest have already taken action by submitting an offer for Senegal.

Their bid includes €10 million fixed plus €5 million in bonuses, which is higher than the Spanish club’s €12 million demand.

The Primeira Liga side know they need to offer more than €10m and €5m in performance-related bonuses to convince Rayo Vallecano.

Nicolas Otamendi and Antonio Silva are among Benfica’s current centre-backs. The Argentine has a contract until June while Silva can change clubs after this season.

Benfica could sign two centre-backs but can only make a final decision after resolving the issues of Otamendi and Silva. Therefore, they risk losing the 21-year-old to an English club.

Mendy’s contract, price and agent information

Nobel Mendy has played 1,633 minutes in 23 matches this season.

His contract with his parent club Real Betis runs until 2028. transfer market The defender is valued at €6m.

Recent reports are clearing the way for a monster trade that has Kevin Durant returning to the Golden State Warriors and Jimmy Butler returning to the Houston Rockets.

On Friday night, the Rockets saw their promising season come to a very disappointing end with a Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. What made their elimination more troubling is that they could not beat a Lakers team that was without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for most of the series.

Still, this shouldn’t come as a complete shock. Something was going wrong with the Rockets team for several months. And it seemed like it all started with All-Star Weekend drama amid speculation that Durant had a Burner X account where he mocked his Houston teammates.

Most believed it was a foolish situation that would be quickly forgotten in the locker room. However, a new report from The Athletic’s William Guillory and Sam Amick adds to the debate that the All-Star Game allegations were a problem in the locker room and worsened because they were never formally addressed by the future Hall of Famer.

“Multiple league sources with close ties to Rockets players indicated that the social media situation was a significant distraction that was never resolved internally,” the report reveals. “…Privately, league sources said [Durant’s] The teammates agreed to keep the matter at home while they focused on basketball. It is unclear whether Durant ever made it clear to his associates whether the account was his or not.

Should the Houston Rockets consider trading Kevin Durant this summer?

All of this begs the question: Should the Rockets trade Durant this summer because he seems like a bad mix on a team that was on a massive upward trend before he arrived a year ago? The Guillory and Amick report provides reasons why this is unlikely. They gave him a waiver on the extension and opted to come to Houston. Plus, when Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams suffered season-ending injuries, the Rockets probably always had a ceiling.

Still, there have been major body language problems with this group for several months, and they’ve never come close to reaching the potential expected by most basketball pundits. Before things get worse, it may be wise to seek divorce instead of withdrawing. But where could the Rockets send Durant, and what could they get back?

Why trading Jimmy Butler for Kevin Durant makes sense

The danger in moving Durant is that Houston gave up a lot to get him. Can they really get the same value to chase the title in 2026-27? This limits the options significantly, but leaves an interesting idea. Trading Durant to the Warriors for Jimmy Butler.

It’s well established that the Warriors are eager to reunite with Durant after the 16-time All-Star helped lead them to three consecutive Finals trips – two wins – during his three seasons in California. The team has been searching for a superstar for the last two years and bringing back the devil they know, not the devil they don’t know.

Plus, while Butler was good in Golden State, we know for a fact that Durant is a better fit there. Especially if coach Steve Kerr returns next season. Additionally, a case can be made that Butler would be a better fit in Houston under Ime Udoka. A defensive-minded coach like Erik Spoelstra and Butler were fantastic with him in Miami.

The biggest issue is that the soon-to-be 37-year-old is trying to bounce back from a torn ACL. It would be understandable if the Rockets weren’t interested in two veterans potentially coming off ACL tears (VanVleet) next season. But matching the money in a trade in a Durant for Butler swap is far easier than most potential deals.

If Golden State is willing to give up a future first-round pick to sweeten the pot, it would be an offer Houston should seriously consider. A lineup of Kristaps Porzingis, Draymond Green, Durant, Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski, and Alpern Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Butler, Amen Thompson and VanVleet looks very good for the Warriors.

everton Juventus may be able to secure long-term target Aidan Zhegrova on loan this summer as Juventus look to move the winger somehow.

Tuttosport, relayed by tutomercatowebProvide information today. The newspaper reports that several players will leave Juventus this summer, regardless of how the season ends.

Juventus plan to exit

According to their information, manager Luciano Spalletti will play a key role in the transfer in pushing Juventus forward. And he is already busy planning to reshape his squad over the summer.

One of those included in the list is Aidan Zegrova. He has failed to impress since arriving in the summer and Juventus want a release.

And loan can be made available for his convenience. According to Tuttosport, he and several others, such as Lois Openda, will leave ‘either on loan or via transfer’.

This should be of interest to Everton. Reports have linked him with a move to Aidan Zhegrova for months.

Everton hope for arrivals

The Toffees are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window as they plan a big spending spree under David Moyes. Indeed, they avoided spending in the January transfer window so they could focus on the summer.

One or two other wingers are likely to be on their list. However that will depend on what happens with Jack Grealish. If Everton pay to sign him permanently, a loan deal for Zhegrova would be attractive.

Last report on their interest, from Februaryinsisted they were too far back in the mix for the 27-year-old. Now that loans are possible, interest must have increased.

Of course, it all depends on the money available to David Moyes this summer and which position he considers most urgent. But a loan deal for Zegrova could prove to be a low-cost replacement for what made Moyes so successful in his first spell at Everton.

armory A key man was sent off on one of Turkey’s biggest nights this week as sporting director Andrea Berta was sent off in Galatasaray’s impressive 3-0 win over Fenerbahçe.

The derby effectively moved Galatasaray closer to the league title. It also provided Arsenal with the opportunity for high level live scouting.

Turkish journalist’s report Ali Nasi Kukuk Stating that Berta remained in Istanbul and planned a meeting with Galatasaray officials. This shows that this was not just a casual trip.

Standout performers on Arsenal radar

Andrea Berta’s presence comes amid claims Arsenal are monitoring three Galatasaray players. Although the exact shortlist has not been confirmed, the match itself offered several obvious candidates.

Baris Alpar Yilmaz stood out again. The 25-year-old left winger scored his 8th goal of the season. He also has 10 assists combining straight runs with a consistent end product. He fits the profile of a wide forward capable of adding depth and versatility to Arsenal’s attack.

Yunus Akgun is another strong option. Also 25, the attacking midfielder has contributed 6 goals and 9 assists. A former Leicester City player, he works between the lines, offering creativity and movement – ​​traits that could suit Mikel Arteta’s system.

Furthermore, centre-back Abdulkerim Bardaki and goalkeeper Ugurkan Cakir have been among Galatasaray’s most reliable performers this season. However, both are outdated and may not align with Arsenal’s usual recruitment model, which leans towards players with resale value.

Meanwhile, Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara – Previously linked to other Premier League clubs – Remained on the bench, while youngster Noah Lang made brief appearances without making much of an impact. that was arsenal’s goal Last.

Familiar faces and unlikely targets

The game also featured two former Arsenal players. Lucas Torreira started for Galatasaray, while Matteo Guendouzi lined out for Fenerbahçe. Both are well known to the club, but neither are expected to be part of their future plans.

As far as big names go, Victor Osimhen remains the key man at Galatasaray. However, after signing Victor Gykeres last summer, Arsenal are unlikely to pursue another high-cost striker.

Leroy Sane also brings Premier League pedigree from his time at Manchester City. Still, there is no clear indication that he will be on Arsenal’s shortlist.

what happens next

The most telling detail is Andrea Berta’s decision to stay in Istanbul. Arsenal aren’t just observing – they’re exploring.

Galatasaray’s strong season and potential title win increases their team’s visibility. In turn, this strengthens their negotiating position.

For Arsenal, this looks like preliminary groundwork rather than an imminent deal. However, players like Yilmaz and Akgun are now sitting firmly on the radar. And after such an impressive derby performance, it’s easy to see why.

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester City transfer possibility

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contracts, stats and prices

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

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

Manchester City’s concern for Verona

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

Watford’s gamble on Othmane Mmaama for 2025 appears to be paying off, opening the door to a summer departure for the Hornets.

Foot Mercato reports that Watford I have given Mom permission to depart this summer if they find someone willing to pay €15 million.

From Montpellier fringe to Watford breakout star

watford Othmane moved quickly to sign Mamma in July 2025, taking advantage of Montpellier’s demotion to tie the winger to a deal until 2029.

At the time it seemed like a smart, low-risk investment. Mother arrived with raw talent but a limited number of senior people.

And while his first months at Vicarage Road were quiet as he struggled to impose himself early on, that has changed over the course of the season.

Since impressing at the U20 World Cup in Chile in October, the 20-year-old has scored four goals and one assist in 23 games in the championship.

He is now a constant starter for the Hornets and regularly puts in exceptional performances based on pace, technique and fearless dribbling. His one-on-one ability and technical quality have now made him one of Watford’s most valuable assets.

watford opened the door

According to information from Foot Mercato, Watford have now authorized Othmane Mamama to explore a move this summer. His market value is currently just under €15m.

This is despite having bids rejected in the January transfer window for the winger.

For a 20-year-old with his trajectory, this figure might be a smart one. Clubs across Europe have been alerted to his availability. Multiple Ligue 1 clubs have already contacted their representatives. Many Premier League clubs are also monitoring the situation closely.

Watford always knew there would be interest at some point. He did not expect that Mumma would become a player who would attract top level attention so quickly. But he is, and they’re preparing to move out.

What’s next for Watford?

Othmane Mamma is focused on earning a place in Morocco’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.

This may cause some dilemma for Watford. Do they sell out early or hope Momma is on the team and gets a chance to shine on the big stage. The latter can significantly increase its value and their profits.

With interest growing and the club opening for sales, the summer window promises to be lively anyway. The question for Watford is how to maximize their return on a player who has gone from being a hidden gem to the spotlight this season.

Joao Palinha’s future is heading towards uncertainty Tottenham Hotspur At the heart of the issue.

Sport 1’s report on the Tottenham midfielder today And how he faces a difficult summer, given that Bayern Munich do not want him back.

tottenham want a lower price

The German outlet reports that Tottenham are happy with Joao Palinha this season and could entertain the option of purchasing him this summer.

But they will only do so if Bayern agrees to renegotiate the fee. The basic clause sits at €25m guaranteed, potentially rising to €30m with add-ons. It is a fee that Spurs consider too high.

Meanwhile, Bayern would like Tottenham to take him permanently. A deal for the Portuguese midfielder would allow them to limit financial losses on the player who is contracted for €48m in 2024.

Bayern doesn’t want him back

Inside Bayern Munich, Joao Palinha now fits into the club’s long-term strategy. Bayern are moving towards a younger profile, and Vincent Kompany has no room for the 30-year-old.

The German champions are openly hoping that Tottenham will activate this clause. At the very least he hopes Spurs will try and negotiate a permanent deal for the midfielder.

Sporting director Christoph Freund has already spoken clearly about this in public comments this week. He admitted that discussions regarding Palhinha’s future were on hold until the season ended. They have to see whether Tottenham are a Premier League team at the end of the season.

Tottenham’s relegation battle has made everything complicated

Tottenham’s fight for survival is the biggest obstacle to a deal. With the club without a win for several months and with their sights set on the Championship, paying €25-30m for a 30-year-old midfielder is a luxury they may not be able to justify.

If they drop into the Championship, a deal will almost certainly be off the table. Even if they stay up, the fee still seems steep for a player who hasn’t made as many changes to their midfield as they hoped.

what happens next?

Everything ultimately depends on Tottenham’s league position. If they remain, they will likely put pressure on Bayern to reduce the fee. A deal is possible on that front.

If they go down, buying options becomes almost impossible. Even negotiated fees seem unlikely with the need for a major overhaul.

If no deal is reached either way, Joao Palinha returns to Bayern, where he has no place or way into Kompany’s plans. This leaves the midfielder in limbo, with his fate largely in the hands of others.

If the Houston Rockets are surprisingly eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, a new report suggests young star Alpern Sengun will be added to the trade package in a blockbuster deal this summer.

Entering the 2025–26 season, the Rockets were viewed as a real threat to the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and with good reason. A year ago, they took a huge leap under head coach Ime Udoka as their young core showed real promise and they had an elite defense. Adding future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant to the mix seemed like a championship recipe.

However, as the year progressed, the Rockets failed to live up to expectations and questions of poor chemistry have emerged over the past few months. To open the playoffs, it looked like they had a matchup against a Lakers team without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Nevertheless, they enter Game 3 of the series losing 2–0.

If they get eliminated in the first round again this year, there will definitely be roster changes. It would be wise to move on from Durant before he turns 38 in September. It seems like the experiment failed. However, according to William Guillory of The Athletic, there is a real possibility that Alpern Sengun could be used in a blockbuster trade for a top star to pair with Durant next season.

Could the Houston Rockets target Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell this summer?

This is due to their up-and-down play in the second half of the season, and non-existent play in the first two games of their series against the Lakers. After acquiring Durant from rising star Jalen Green last year, Guillory suggests they could do the same again with the two-time All-Star this summer. His inclusion in any trade package would make him a favorite for any superstar on the trade block in the offseason.

Guillory wrote, “Giannis Antetokounmpo would be a name that has been linked to Houston as a potential superstar who could be acquired in a Sengun trade.” “Kawhi Leonard or Donovan Mitchell could also be possibilities. If Houston makes Sengun available with some future draft picks, it would put them among the favorites to acquire any undrafted superstars who may become available.”

Trading Antetokounmpo will be a top story this summer after the Milwaukee Bucks heard offers before the deadline. Reports surfaced last week that if Mitchell does not sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers after the season, he could also be placed on the trade block. Leonard should also be available as the Clippers look to rebuild quickly over the next two years.

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

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

Manchester United’s interest

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

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

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

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

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

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

€45 million asking price

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

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

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

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

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

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

wolves come out

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

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

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

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

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

Summer transfer possibility

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

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

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

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

swansea city Having already secured their survival in the Championship, the club’s internal rebuild now takes center stage.

We previously covered parts of Vitor Matos’ interview regarding the striker zhan vipotnik status. Anyway, full conversation with Portuguese newspaper to ball Provides great insight into Swansea’s structure, identity and long-term planning.

Below, the main themes of that interview are organized and expanded upon, with Matos’s full comments preserved and grouped for clarity.

Arrival and immediate priorities

Vitor Matos moved closer to the relegation zone with Swansea. The initial focus was on survival, but also laying the foundation for something more stable.

“Above all, it was a challenge because of the moment the change happened. It was about the moment that mattered for Marítimo and Swansea. It was a decision driven by ambition, but also something I always wanted, which was to return to England. It’s a positive balance.”

“The first big challenge was to stabilize the club, which had fallen to the bottom of the table, very close to the relegation places. The priority was to stabilise, then gradually improve the quality of play and the individual quality of the players.”

He also highlighted how little time he had to implement the ideas in the beginning.

“It’s not easy in the Championship. We arrived after the Bristol game, did two training sessions and then immediately played the derby. Two days later, West Brom away. Only after that did we have time to train properly.”

“So the priority was to get it right, but already trying to present how we wanted to change some things.”

creating a game identity

One of the clearest messages from the interview is that Swansea are trying to redefine the way they play, moving away from previous formations.

“The team was coming from a less positive period and was also playing in a 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 formation, which I clearly wanted to change from day one.”

“It’s about understanding the team, identifying the qualities we can work with and starting to shape our view of the game. Understanding the short and medium-term priorities is fundamental for the team to become more competitive.”

Matos also emphasized how complex the process is in a championship environment.

“Stability in this league comes from a lot of little things. It’s a complex process. It has to do with the number of games, the type of opposition and the variability you face.”

“This is part of the development of tactical maturity that the team needs. We have evolved, become more consistent, but there is still a lot of improvement to be made.”

Culture, identity and relationship with the club

Beyond tactics, Matos repeatedly returned to the importance of rebuilding Swansea’s identity and culture.

“A culture isn’t built in a day. The culture we want to develop is about values, a competitive mentality and the connection between players, fans and staff.”

“Swansea is a club with a very rich history and has a very clear identity from its evolution towards the Premier League. That was lost at some point, and that’s what we’re trying to develop again.”

He clarified that this is beyond the pitch.

“For it to survive, there has to be a recruiting vision that aligns with it, a vision of how the club views and engages with the community.”

“There must come a moment where, beyond belief, there is joy in the club’s identity. That’s how we are building.”

To reconnect with that identity, Swansea turned to figures from their past.

“That cultural side is very strong and still exists, but short-term results can push clubs away from it. That was happening.”

“One of our concerns was to bring in Joe Allen and Leon Britton, who represent that period. We found a development path while respecting the essence of the club.”

Competing with top teams and raising the standards

Matos also talked about changing the mentality within the team, especially in matches against stronger opponents.

“It was important to find a base eleven and continuity to make the team more competitive and more effective.”

“We want to look at the top teams and not only compete, but try to dominate them, whether through possession or through pressure.”

“It was important for the club to realize again that it is possible to stay in high positions and compete with the best teams.”

He emphasized that results remain at the center of everything.

“The most important thing is always to win. That’s the basis on which you are evaluated. The way you do it may change, but winning is always the objective.”

Managing change and dealing with pressure

Despite a long-term contract, Matos made clear that short-term pressures still define his role.

“This is a volatile profession, evaluated in the short term. You have to build the process with the idea that there should be feedback from day one.”

“At the same time, your concern should be to improve the quality of the game. This should be visible to the owners and the fans.”

He also stressed the need for gradual development rather than major changes.

“You can’t change everything at once. Sometimes it’s possible depending on the results, sometimes not. You need care on an individual level when making changes.”

“We managed to find stability. We haven’t used a large number of players and we are the team with the lowest number of muscle injuries in the league. This shows the culture and sensitivity.”

Transfer Strategy and Squad Management

One of the most relevant sections to Swansea’s future and players like Zane Vipotnik is how the club approached the transfer market.

“Our biggest concern was not to lose players in January. It’s not about bringing in 14 players and sending out 14.”

“It’s about looking at the team, understanding the priorities, and starting to build something. Only after building can you understand the path.”

Rather than rebuild, Swansea opted for targeted additions.

“We signed Gustavo Nunes from Brentford, Leo Walta and Joel Ward. Each brought something different and added depth in the short term.”

“Joel brought experience and stability. The team needed that. Gustavo is a huge talent and gave us more options, which helped maintain our mobility.”

Matos also highlighted the internal focus.

“Our main objective was to look at all the players including the academy, the squad and those on loan and start building from there.”

What comes next for Swansea?

With survival secured, attention turns to the next phase of the project.

“You always have to build on the present knowing that the future will shape us. We want the club to continue to grow and move towards a play-off position.”

“But it is a very competitive league with a large number of games. Emotional stability is essential.”

He also spoke about the physical demands of the championship.

“We have more games than Bayern. It’s such a high number that you need emotional stability and a strong process.”

“The team must remain focused on training and recovery, even if training time is limited.”

Finally, he outlined a broader vision for the club.

“It’s about building culture, short-term competitiveness and long-term value. That includes the department, the fans, the community and scouting.”

“Everything should work under the same approach, with a clear process that allows players to arrive fresh and ready to compete.”

What does this mean for Swansea

This entire interview shows that Swansea is no longer operating as a short-term survival project.

There is a clear emphasis on stability, identity and controlled development. Swansea suffered from losing key players in January. With a stronger structure now in place, any summer decision will likely follow the same logic – consistent with the broader project set out by Matos.

This makes it much more than a standard transfer case. It is part of a wider rebuild that will define Swansea’s next steps.
