Lutsharel is likely to remain an option for Geertruida liverpool “Arne Slott wanted him” at Anfield earlier this summer.

Journalist Valentin Driessen commented on the Sunderland loanee today, Relayed by Football Zone. That could see the defender move to Anfield this summer.

Sunderland exit on the cards

Lutsharel Geertuida has spent this season on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig. But the deal won’t be permanent this summer. A report last week said that Sunderland The decision has been taken to sign the 25-year-old rather than let him return to Germany.

However, the same report indicates that he is unlikely to remain at Leipzig. According to the information given in that report, inquiries have been made in the top five leagues of Europe.

Liverpool are one of the teams who have long been credited with interest. Indeed, multiple reports in England state that he was keen on the move in the January transfer window. That deal never happened because Sunderland refused to give approval for an early termination of his loan deal at the Stadium of Light.

But the Reds have been interested in him for some time. Geertruida previously worked with Arne Slot at Feyenoord. And various reports in 2024 made it clear that Liverpool were in the mix for him.

slot connection key

Now may be the ideal opportunity to revive that interest. And Driessen certainly believes a deal is possible.

“Arne Slot wanted him. Because Geertruida can play in different positions,” he said on De Telegraaf’s Kick-Off podcast.

“First at Leipzig, and now at Sunderland, he is struggling to survive. And they are not the best club in the world right now. And Liverpool is another step up. Can he handle it?”

“Maybe with a manager like Slott, with whom he has experience at Feyenoord. It will work. Let’s hope so for the boy, because potentially he is a good footballer.”

Federico Gatti is close to a Juventus exit and it could be positive for him everton And Aston Villa.

In the last few months, sports witness The defender’s situation has been monitored closely. There has been increased interest from the English side, especially as Luciano Spalletti does not see him as a key player.

Despite returning from injury in December, he has started just once in Serie A this year. In the last three league games, the centre-back has been on the field for just four minutes in total.

Now, Gattis is determined to get game time and has made a big decision about his future.

confident about player selection

gazzetta dello sport It appears that Gatty wants to leave the Old Lady.

He is one of the most loved players in the current team, but the player does not want to waste his best years on the bench. The Italian feels he can offer more and is now looking for a new destination.

Türkiye is interested in this but it does not seem to be its priority.

English clubs remain in the picture

tuttosport Provide more details today. There are mentions of interest from Aston Villa and Everton, with Juventus keen to part ways with the 27-year-old.

They are not considered suitable for spalletti and are viewed as capital gains that can be used to sign upgrades. That’s why it would be better to ‘sell him for €25m’.

Gatti will be a reliable squad player

Even if the centre-back wants regular football, he may not have the technical ability to play every game in the Premier League.

Both Aston Villa and Everton could use him as a valuable team player.

Gatti can also play on either flank at centre-back. Under Igor Tudor, he was also a regular in the wide centre-back role.

A fee of €25m is unlikely to be a problem for Aston Villa or Everton. Unai Emery and David Moyes are both considered pragmatic, who will play to Gatti’s strengths.

everton There has been no offer yet for Venezia midfielder Issa Doumbia, a fact Sporting Clube de Portugal wants to take advantage of.

record And to ball Both report on the Defenders today. The two newspapers say Sporting are making a move to secure the 22-year-old before the Premier League season begins.

Everton’s interest in Doumbia

The record states that Sporting has shown ‘readiness’ in completing the contract with the Venezia star. The Lions are aware of the existence of competitors, mainly from England. Thus, they want to ensure the signing as soon as possible.

However, this is proving difficult as Venezia wants to take advantage of the fact that there are multiple interested parties.

Italians know Issa Doumbia too Is being targeted by Newcastle, Everton and Brentford. They want to use it to help ‘fill their coffers with as large a sum as possible’.

Doumbia, for his part, would be keen on a move to Sporting. He wants to follow in the footsteps of many players who developed at the club and then achieved great progress in Europe.

Toffee needs to move soon

One said the same thing. According to their information, Issa Doumbia is a priority for Sporting this summer.

There are going to be new talks for them in the coming days. However, his initial €15m asking price is set to rise due to interest from England.

According to the newspaper, both Everton and Newcastle are offering ‘strong competition’ for the midfielder. Their interest could push his valuation closer to €20m this summer. However, neither party has yet initiated negotiations with Venezia.

This gives Sporting an advantage that they want to exploit. They have already begun negotiations and are awaiting the signing of the midfielder on a five-year deal. He is also confident about going to Portugal.

But the Premier League is also keen and might be able to tempt him. However, Everton and others need to make an offer first.

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.

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

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

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

Soon after, Manchester United moved ahead of their rivals.

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

the agreement is months ago

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

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

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

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

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

Arsenal and Manchester United both matter

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

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

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

fulham TARGET Ricardo Pepi has admitted he has put transfer talks on hold until after the World Cup after a roller coaster of emotions earlier this year.

football news reports comments the PSV Eindhoven star said in an interview with ESPN Netherlands today.

Transfer proposals ignored

The striker has revealed that he wants nothing to do with the transfer at the moment. This is a point he has clearly conveyed to his agent.

He was close to joining Fulham earlier this year, as they initially tried to bring him in in the January transfer window.

Marco Silva’s team returned after the window closed and were close to a deal with PSV Eindhoven. Riccardo Pepi also traveled to Craven Cottage for a medical.

However, the deal could not be completed, as Fulham and PSV could not agree on certain transfer terms. Reportedly, Pepi was extremely disappointed. Now he does not want to discuss any step in the near future.

“Being so close to a transfer that doesn’t have to go through is a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s about staying steady and maintaining balance in your life.” He said.

“To be honest, I always try to focus on what’s next. I just have to play one more match here and hopefully I get a chance at the World Cup.”

“I’m not worried about everything that happens before that. I’m just focused on finishing the season strong. I’m looking forward to getting the chance.”

Fulham will have to wait

Since the Fulham deal collapsed, the striker has made an agreement with his agent not to discuss a potential transfer for the time being. That could change if he shines in the World Cup.

“Yes, 100%, 100%,” He also said about ignoring the proposals.

“Of course, then it may change a little bit, but I still tell him: at the end of the World Cup, at the end of the season, we will have the right time to talk about these types of things. Just let me stay focused and let me finish the season strong.”

It looks like Fulham will have to wait if they are to revive their efforts. Nevertheless, Pepi may keep them away until he is ready to discuss the matter again.

celtic And wolves Wolfsburger AC are interested in goalkeeper Nikolaus Polster, with the Austrian side preparing a move.

sky sports austria report WAC are demanding a transfer fee of at least €1.5m for the 23-year-old this summer.

Celtic and Wolves interest

They report that a list of clubs are showing interest in the Wolfsburger AC goalkeeper this summer. German clubs are keen on the 23-year-old, with Celtic and Wolves among the likes.

According to Sky information, the Austrian side will ask for around €1.5m and €2m for the goalkeeper this summer.

Nicholas Polster himself wants this move. He is looking to take the next step in his career and hopes to move abroad this summer.

The goalkeeper came through the youth ranks at SK Rapee and moved to LASK in the 2020 summer transfer window. He also had stints at Vorwärts Steyr and SV Horn before joining Wolfsberger in July 2024.

He has been number one since then, having played a total of 67 matches, conceding 79 goals and keeping 20 clean sheets. This season he has made 33 appearances and conceded 43 goals in all competitions.

goalkeeping changes

Now a move to the United Kingdom could be on the cards, with Celtic and Wolves both showing interest in the goalkeeper.

Celtic are possibly looking for a long-term replacement for Kasper Schmeichel. The Danish goalkeeper has faced criticism this season. Viljami Sinisalo and Ross Doohan are also in his team.

Wolves’ current options are Jose Sa, Sam Johnstone and Daniel Bentley. The latter is currently playing as the other two are injured. But big changes are likely to take place this summer following their return to the Championship.

Saw and Johnstone’s deals expire next summer, while Bentley’s current contract expires in 2028. At least two of them need to be resolved in the coming months. And it appears Niklas Polster is on his list.

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

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

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

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

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

champions league key

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Manchester United don’t need Pavlovic

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

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

Unless someone leaves, it is not a necessity.

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

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

everton AS Roma are interested in a potential deal for striker Artem Dovbyk this summer, as his future at Roma remains in doubt.

Roma Giallorosa report That the ‘track to Everton’ will be alive for the Ukrainian striker this summer.

Everton introduced ‘special solution’

According to their information, Everton could offer the Italian side a ‘special solution’ given the shared ownership under the Friedkin Group.

Everton will consider loaning the striker until the end of next season. This will allow the 28-year-old to get back to his ‘best physical condition’ and basically rebuild himself after a tough campaign.

It would also give Everton the third striker that David Moyes wants this summer, without spending too much of their budget on a signing. And the relationship between the two clubs, which have yet to transfer any players, could facilitate transfers for all.

However there may be competition. Roma Giallorosa also reported that Napoli are among the clubs most interested in Dovbek. They had already asked about him during the January transfer window.

His profile is one that sporting director Giovanni Manna considers ‘very pleasant’. He continues to monitor the situation around him ahead of the next season.

€20m offer from Napoli

The belief is that they could return with an offer of around €20m in the coming weeks. Keeping in mind financial fairness and the need to make capital gains by June 30, Roma will consider^th.

Such a cash offer would be even more favorable than Everton’s loan offer, at least in terms of the books. But it would also mean directly strengthening the squad that Roma are chasing in Serie A. There is only a three-point gap between fifth-placed Napoli and second-placed Juventus.

This is something that Roma will have to consider in the coming weeks. Do they prefer a straight sale to Napoli or, use their relationship with Everton in the hope that Artem Dovbyk will re-establish himself in the Premier League?

liverpool Interest in Alan Elias is nothing new. However, Brazilian reports now suggest the situation is heating up again ahead of the summer window.

As covered earlierNewcastle United have been ranked as favorites at various stages. Meanwhile, Liverpool have been exploring ways to structure a deal. they have even Secure priority for future steps.

The 22-year-old has continued to be a key figure for Palmeiras, with 4 goals and 3 assists in all competitions this year. This helps explain why the club continues to protest.

However, the expectation in Brazil is that pressure will increase significantly in the coming weeks. And Liverpool is the only English club still being mentioned.

The market is heating up before the window

latest comments ESPN Brazilian journalist Andre Hernán There are indications that with the opening of the transfer market, Allan has once again become the subject of fresh inquiries.

He indicated that the clubs are already moving to understand the situation and assess whether Palmeiras could be ready for talks in the next window.

The journalist clarified that Liverpool’s interest remains active.

He said: “It is nothing new that Liverpool want Allan. The market is starting to open up and there are already inquiries and approaches regarding the player.”

Hernan said this new movement is just the beginning. This is expected to be a busy period.

he explained: “Palmeiras will have to be very strong, because clubs will work hard for him. He is a player that the European market wants very much.”

Palmeiras was ready for a wave of bids

Despite this, Palmeiras continues to “work hard” in negotiations. Hernán stressed that the club has consistently resisted those approaches, whether they come directly from the clubs or through player representatives. In fact, Liverpool have already made contact Also the player’s representative.

He said: “Palmeiras works hard in every sense, whether through contact with clubs or through player representatives.”

This stance has already been demonstrated with previous rejections in the €30m to €35m (£25.7m-£30m) range. However, the expectation is that the volume and intensity of offers will increase.

According to Hernán, the final decision will ultimately rest with the club’s leadership.

he adds: “This will be a decision for the presidency and the board, as the market will be strong and Allen will receive offers and a lot of interest in this window.”

Liverpool and Napoli among the main contenders

Hernan also explained how the market is shaping up geographically. For them, the race is clearly focused on Europe’s top leagues.

He said: “For me, Alan’s market is the top European market – the Premier League or the big clubs in Italy.”

Liverpool remains the dominant name of the Premier League, while Napoli are again monitoring the situation.

However, As mentioned earlier, Game Witness Understand Previous claims regarding specific bids from Napoli are not accurate. Nevertheless, the Italian club has been linked.

Arias factor adds internal dynamics

There is also an internal layer to Palmeiras’ thinking that can influence the situation.

brazilian side Wolves signed attacker Arias in February As one of their major additions. However, so far he has been used far from his preferred role. And that’s largely because Alan Elias is in that position. He remains an undisputed starter.

The sale of Allan would not only fetch a significant fee, but would also allow Palmeiras to restore Arias to his natural role.

This possibility does not overshadow the club’s current stance, but it does provide a sporting solution if a bigger offer eventually comes through.

With Allen’s performances, interest growing and internal options already in place, the coming window is shaping up to be a defining moment. Not just for Liverpool, but for Palmeiras’ entire strategy around one of their most valuable players.

Aston Villa AS Roma are set to lose Donyal Malen on a permanent basis. This could also lead to a possible return to the Birmingham club.

In the last two weeks, sports witness Covers how Unai Emery’s side are making a move for Mattias Sole. Initial contact has been made, Roma are in dire financial need.

They need to complete the sale by the end of June to remain within UEFA’s financial rules. Failure to do so could result in potential sanctions, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Now, it appears that there is some movement between both clubs and the result could be in favor of Aston Villa.

the villains are on the move

gazzetta dello sport Note today that Malen is officially a Roma player. That’s because Inter won the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, ensuring the Giallorossi will at least play in the Europa League next season.

As a result, Roma’s obligation to purchase Malen permanently has now begun. Aston Villa will receive €25 million from the sale and this could also help them sign Sole.

This is why Emery’s side have ‘increased their pressure’ and are even ready to adopt a formal approach. At the same time, Argentina will also soon discuss its future with Friedkin’s ownership.

Those discussions will be decisive and a fee of €40m could prove enough for Aston Villa. The approach from England is believed to appeal to the versatile attacker, whose sale could help Roma make €25m capital gains in the summer.

Our View: Now let’s move forward with momentum

Before today, conversation about Aston Villa and Seoul was limited to the local Roman press. It’s a good sign that Gazeta is taking it up.

Let’s not forget that the Villains and Roma have spoken to each other at length over the past year. Leon Bailey ended up in Italy before Malen could follow him.

This relationship would be important in the discussion over Soul, which had previously been pursued by English clubs. He can play anywhere behind the striker, adds immense technical ability and would add value to Emery’s side.

newcastle united FC Porto have been linked with interest in winger Oscar Pietuszewski in recent weeks, but the player’s camp now appear keen to calm expectations surrounding a summer transfer.

The 17-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable start to life in Portugal since arriving from Jagiellonia in January. Pietuszewski already has 15 appearances, three goals and two assists for Porto, helping the club win the Portuguese title before he was even 18 years old.

Those performances immediately put him on the radar of several European clubs. Newcastle United were recently nominated Between the sides monitoring the winger, with manchester united, liverpool, manchester city And chelsea.

However, according to the player’s agent, an immediate move away from Porto would not make sense.

“Complete madness”

As relayed to ball In Portugal, agent Mariusz Piekarski insisted that Pietuszewski planned to stay at Porto next season despite the increased attention.

“I think he will stay at Porto for another season,” Piekarski said. “There remains a lot of interest, but we have no plans to change clubs. That would be complete madness.”

The agent made it clear that the current priority is development rather than a quick transfer to one of the richest clubs in Europe.

“Oscar feels very good in Porto. He is happy and gaining experience.” he explained.

“Maybe in a year, after another season in the Portuguese league and playing in the UEFA Champions League, there will be a re-evaluation and he can think about what to do next.”

Piekarski also stressed that there is no specific time frame for the departure.

“Still, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’ll have to go in a year. Maybe in two years.”

Porto is seen as the ideal next step

Reports in Portugal have already stated that the club are preparing a new contract for Oscar Pietuszewski when he turns 18 on May 20. The deal is expected to extend his stay until 2031 and could also include an increase to his current €60m (£52m) release clause.

From the player’s camp, there seems to be complete agreement with that viewpoint.

Pietuszewski has quickly become a key player under manager Francesco Farioli, his aggressive dribbling and direct style making him one of the breakout stories in Portugal during the second half of the season.

The winger puts up strong attacking numbers on average, while also showing impressive intensity on the ball. That combination has helped to increase interest from clubs like Newcastle.

School exams after graduation ceremony

Piekarski also revealed an unusual detail from the player’s recent program after Porto secured the league title.

The young player went back to Poland immediately after the ceremony to complete his secondary school exams.

“There were fears about how school, final exams and the Oscars would combine everything with FC Porto, but everything worked out well,” The agent said.

“They played at 9:30 pm on a Sunday and had final exams in the morning. I booked a jet to Modlin airport and had a driver waiting there so he could take a quick shower and go straight to the exam.”

At the moment, despite interest from Newcastle and increasing attention from across Europe, both Porto and the player’s representatives are convinced that staying where he is is the next wise move.

Virgil van Dijk has indicated that should he leave Liverpool he is keen to join Galatasaray on a free transfer this summer.

Haber Sarikmizi Report Comments from Galatasaray Today reporter Arda Ozkurt about the possible move of the Liverpool captain.

Van Dijk leaving Liverpool?

Reports over the past few weeks have linked Virgil van Dijk with a possible move to the Turkish giants this summer.

The Dutch defender is set to enter the final year of his contract at Anfield, and this is seen as an opportunity by Galatasaray.

There is growing speculation that Van Dijk could also be on the move amid changes on Merseyside in the summer, with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already departing.

Galatasaray are certainly making moves behind the scenes. Sport Witness covered an initial report Earlier this month he said he would match the defender’s €11m-a-year salary at Liverpool.

After this, in another report it was said that contacts were intensified After Van Dijk offered encouragement to Galatasaray. It was said in a report yesterday Talks were ongoing with the Liverpool defender.

Van Dijk’s agent in Turkey

Now Arda Özkurt adds her own information to the mix. He emphasizes that Van Dijk already has a representative in Turkiye.

“A representative of Virgil van Dijk’s management company was at Reims Park for the Championship match,” he said.

“Virgil van Dijk has indicated that he is willing to leave for Galatasaray on a free transfer, but Liverpool’s stance will be decisive. Virgil van Dijk wants a 3-year contract with Galatasaray, consisting of 2+1 years (with a one-year extension if he plays a certain number of matches).”

The question is whether Liverpool will let the defender leave on a free transfer this summer. Doing that would be a big decision at Anfield.

He signed a deal with Mohamed Salah this year on similar terms. But the main reason for this was Egypt’s apparent differences with the management. Van Dijk has shown no such displeasure. Nor has he expressed any unhappiness publicly.

However, there is no smoke without fire. And these recurring reports from Turkey indicate that something is going on behind the scenes.

Are targeting a move to Fenerbahçe Aston Villa This summer through goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, presidential candidate Aziz Yildirim.

fan report that Yildirim have once again set their sights on the Aston Villa goalkeeper after speaking to him ahead of the 2024 campaign.

President wants to make Aston Villa a star again

According to the outlet, Yildirim ‘has once again set his sights on the goalkeeper.’ He is targeting the Argentina star if he can’t get a deal for Jan Oblak over the line.

All eyes in Fenerbahçe are currently on the extraordinary general assembly elections. Yildirim is running for president again and has turned his attention to Aston Villa number one.

He held talks with Martínez ahead of the 2024 elections, in which he lost to Ali Koç. The transfer broke down when he failed to win the election.

Now they plan to sign a star goalkeeper this summer. The main target is Jan Oblak, but Emiliano Martínez is also on the list. According to Takweem, work has started for both the goalkeepers.

Although the Argentine has a three-year contract with Aston Villa, there is a possibility he will leave Villa Park this summer. Interestingly, another presidential candidate, Hakan Saffi, wants to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

transfer target

It seems that various presidential candidates have Europe’s biggest names as part of their current campaigns. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to real action.

As The Fanatic points out, Yildirim tried to get Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa just two years ago. That move ultimately failed when his presidential campaign also failed.

Even if he is successful, it will be no easy task to get Martínez out of Villa Park. He is set for a long-term deal, is a key player under Unai Emery and they could potentially be back in the Champions League next season. There is no reason for the Villans to let him go, unless, of course, Fenerbahçe comes forward with a big transfer fee.

brighton and hove albion Defender Ferdi Kadioglu has indicated that he is open to a return to Fenerbahçe in the future.

GZT reports the 26-year-old’s comments today. Looks like he’s not closing the door on his former side anytime soon.

fenerbachi relations

Ferdi Kadioglu joins Brighton on a €30m deal in 2024 from Fenerbahce, where he has been since 2018 following a €4.4m transfer from NEC Nijmegen.

He played 204 matches for Türkiye, scoring 19 goals and making 22 assists. He played more games for them, including 10 in their U21s, than all the other clubs combined.

His name is closely linked to the Süper Lig side. And, indeed, reports have often linked the Brighton defender to a return.

Now, he has admitted that it was difficult for him to leave Fenerbahçe. And while he is now in a different chapter at Brighton, ties with his former club remain strong.

“It was very difficult for me to leave Fenerbahce,” he told KAFA Sports YouTube channel.

“It was not easy at all. We had several meetings with Fenerbahçe. I really like the club; I love the city. I think everyone saw my interview when I left there. It was very emotional.

“Fenerbahçe is always in my heart. Who knows, maybe I’ll come back one day. I can’t promise it, but it would be nice if it happened.”

brighton under control

The question is whether such a comeback can happen soon for Ferdi Kadioglu. Brighton are unlikely to approve a deal.

The defender has featured in 91% of minutes in the Premier League this season. He has also been in the starting 11 89% of the time. In other words, he is a major player.

He is also tied to a deal until 2028 and includes the option of a further year. This suggests that any return to Fenerbahçe will not happen unless they offer a significant amount of money to do so.

Interested in Valencia ipswich town Goalkeeper Arizente Muric, the 27-year-old, is preparing to return to Portman Road this summer.

Cadena SER reports that Valencia have inquired about Muric’s contract situation, with his current deal set to expire in 2028.

Sassuolo mantra goes well

Arizente Muric currently belongs to Ipswich Town, but has spent the season on loan at Italian side Sassuolo. This includes an option to purchase this summer.

But the goalkeeper has made it clear that he has no intention of staying with the Serie A team after the expiry of his loan deal. He has been a regular this season, making 32 appearances in the league, conceding 43 goals and keeping six clean sheets. He has featured in 89% of the available minutes.

Whether or not he is part of Ipswich’s plans in the Premier League is currently unknown. The goalkeeper’s place has now been taken by Christian Palmer, so it is believed he is not in the plans right now.

Valencia are looking at a possible deal. They are considering activating a section to expand Stol Dmitrievsky. If they do, they will likely look for an experienced goalkeeper to back him up. Muric could be that player.

He has played across Europe, including Switzerland, England, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey and Italy this season. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Verona, but made only six appearances during his time there. Still he has experience of Spain.

Valencia transfer option

Now, here at Sport Witness, we would urge caution when it comes to Valencia. Their financial situation is tight, to say the least, and they are not going to spend big bucks on Arizente Muric this summer.

If he wanted to be Dmitrievsky’s backup, that would certainly be the case. More likely they will want a low-cost move or loan deal. Whether Ipswich would approve is debatable.

Even if it was a loan with a purchase option, and Mauriac performed well, it is highly unlikely that Valencia would retain that amount.

Overall, Muric has performed well in Italy this season. There may be other suitors willing to offer a better deal from Valencia this summer.

celtic Frosinone were set to sign Fares Ghedjemis in January. Neither move ever worked but the player has no regrets about his decision.

sports witness Covered how the Hoops were initially surprised about the offer. This was largely in line with the winger’s valuation, but the player rejected the move, as he was keen to stay.

Frosinone has confirmed its return to Serie A. This is no small part of Gedzemis’ important contribution, as he has scored 15 times in Serie B. In 2026 alone, he has scored nine times, and provided two assists.

The player has now opened up about what happened when Celtic came for him.

Gedzemis goes public

The Algerian winger spoke at Frosinone’s celebration ceremony yesterday and was asked specifically about his decision to stay.

He explained that the atmosphere at Frosinone forced him to reject Celtic.

The attacker said- via Ciociariaoggi: : “Absolutely. That’s why I didn’t go over the summer. I could have gone, but I felt an energy that made me want to stay. And I’m happy with my choice.

“I’m proud and happy. We worked very hard, and I’m really happy to bring Frosinone back to where the club should be: in Italy’s top flight.”

The Algeria international was also asked about his plans for the World Cup.

he replied: “Yeah, hopefully. There are so many people, so much competition. I hope I’m ready for it. It would definitely be great to play in the World Cup.”

With Wolves and Norwich City linked with a move, Gedzemis hinted at his future.

“Let’s see. Right now I just want to enjoy the season we’ve had. Then, when the time comes, I’ll also think about the transfer market.”

All celtic hopes are destroyed

There have been suggestions that Gedzemis is now interested in a move to the Premier League. Which is why Wolves or Norwich City might not appeal to him, with the Midlands club now in the Championship.

This stance should also rule out a move towards Celtic.

Samuel Chukwueze has performed quite well in his current loan spell fulham. Now talks are going on for a permanent agreement.

When the Nigerian joined the London club, AC Milan inserted a purchase option worth €24m. This comes after his clash with the Rossoneri, where expectations are rising about a permanent exit.

sports witness With the Italian side desperate to get money from Fulham, the sentiment is covered.

The winger has contributed to seven Premier League goals so far in the campaign. Marco Silva’s side want to keep him, however, they want exemptions.

Negotiations continue between the clubs

PianetaMilan Report on the winger’s situation, looking at how he has become a starter at Fulham. He has started the last four Premier League games, giving Milan hope.

Now, the Craven Cottage side have ‘officially begun discussions’ over a transfer.

Fulham do not want to pay €24 million.

The deal is believed to be worth between €18m and €20m.

Our take: Fulham’s right to take advantage

AC Milan have currently won only three of their last nine league matches. They have moved beyond the title race and potentially into a Conference League place.

If they miss the Champions League, it will be for the second time in as many seasons. There will be massive financial implications, forcing them to sell and leaving them desperate for capital gains.

Fulham probably know this and are playing on it.

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

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

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

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

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

Di Gregorio is going out

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

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

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

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

Our take: Anfield move doesn’t make sense

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

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

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

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

celtic If they want to sign Issa Doumbia from Venezia, they may need to move quickly, with Portuguese competition close behind.

calciomercato.it Doumbia is set to leave the Italian club this summer, the report says. At present, his future seems likely to be in Portugal only.

Portuguese efforts

They explain that after a remarkable season that saw him play a key role in Venezia’s promotion from Serie B, several major European clubs are now eyeing the 23-year-old.

In particular, two of Portugal’s top three clubs, Sporting Clube de Portugal and Benfica, want him. According to CM.it, Sporting has stepped up its efforts to secure a deal in recent days.

However, the deal is not yet complete, as Rui Costa and his colleagues at Benfica have also made ‘important progress’. There is a real Lisbon derby going on for the midfielder’s signature. New and important developments are expected at some points throughout this week.

This should probably be a warning sign for Celtic. The Scottish giants have been credited with interest over the months.

celtic need to move

Sport Witness also covered a report detailing how their interest is justified. Doumbia is undoubtedly a star on the rise and the growing interest in him is testament to that.

The fact that the Portuguese pair are both also Champions League clubs is further testament to this fact. Both are now pushing for a deal, also indicating they want to get in on it before competition gets too fierce.

Celtic may be busy focusing on their title challenge, which is certain to go all the way, but this may also be something they need to focus on. Failure to move quickly now could see them miss out on potential summer signings.

Sporting Clube de Portugal and Benfica are certainly working to make sure they win the race behind the scenes.

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester United will get priority

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Milan are promoting the player’s position

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

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

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

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

Jonathan Rowe has been active for Bologna in 2026 and is now attracting interest Aston Villa.

The Englishman scored a spectacular overhead kick against Napoli at the weekend. The game was tied 2-2 in stoppage time but the winger’s strike gave the Rossoblu a big win.

Now, he has three Serie A goals in 2026. In the Europa League, he found the net four times and provided two assists, scoring a well-executed curler against Aston Villa.

This has increased English interest in the former Norwich City star. sports witness Covered how Premier League scouts have kept a close eye on him in recent weeks.

His performances at Villa Park also did not go unnoticed.

Rowe is increasingly being discussed

gazzetta dello sport Here’s a detailed report on the winger today, with the background to his heroics in Naples. It is worth noting how he has come to be called ‘Roveldinho’ in Bologna, an indication of the growing excitement around him.

Clubs are now knocking on the door for him. The newspaper cited English sources to talk about Chelsea’s interest, as the English media are talking about a €38m offer from the Blues.

The matter does not end here because now Aston Villa are also interested in it. These are seen as ‘real threats’ for the Rossoblu, who find themselves in eighth place in Serie A. It is likely that they will not play in Europe next season, which could lead to a summer sale of Rowe.

If English clubs make an offer for him, Bologna won’t stand much of a chance. They may try to convince him to stay for another season but it may not work in the absence of European football.

Our view: Bologna looks to capitalize

At the start of the season, Jonathan Rowe was struggling to settle into life in Italy, and also suffered fitness problems.

Bologna paid around €20m to sign him last year. The low price was mainly due to a fight with Adrien Rabiot in Marseille. Now, the reports around him are playing a big role in increasing his valuation by a huge amount taking advantage of the recent form.

Bologna have already sold Dan Ndoye, Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori to England. Sunderland-bound Jhon Lucumi is still being pushed for a move to Italy, and Bologna clearly fancy a Premier League sale.

This approach should provide some encouragement for Aston Villa. The Rossoblu have a buy-sell model and Unai Emery’s team could take advantage of this and bring Rowe back to England.

chelseaThe obliging Giovani Quenda finally got the moment he’s been waiting for, and it holds extra meaning for the winger.

The 19-year-old ended a goal drought of more than five months this week, scoring again for Sporting ahead of his expected summer move to Stamford Bridge. He scored in the 90th minute in a 4–1 win at Rio Ave.

Undoubtedly, their goalless period was due to a serious injury Which kept him sidelined from December 2025 to April 2026.

And obviously, it meant a lot to him.

Promise fulfilled before leaving for Chelsea

According to Portuguese outlet to ballQuenda made a personal promise to himself that he did not want to leave Sporting for Chelsea without scoring again for the Lisbon club.

The winger had not found the net since November 26, when he helped Sporting beat Club Brugge 3–0 in the Champions League tie stage. Shortly thereafter, he suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal that interrupted his season.

Between injury, rehabilitation in London and a difficult process of regaining his rhythm, Kwenda played nine matches without scoring. But that race is over now.

The goal may not completely erase the disappointment of the past few months, but it feels symbolic given everything that has happened to his season.

Tough season still ends with strong statistics

Giovani Quenda’s campaign never fully recovered after the injury setback.

Before the fracture, he was one of Sporting’s most explosive attacking players and one of the biggest stories of Portuguese football. Chelsea’s agreement to pay him around £43.5m (€50m+) increased the headlines around him.

Then everything stopped. Chelsea took charge During the recovery process in London, he was kept at Cobham for months while he built up his muscles and prepared himself physically for Premier League football.

When he returned there were clear signs that he still lacked some sharpness and explosiveness. Portuguese press openly raised questions Was the move to Chelsea coming at the right time?

Still, the numbers remain impressive for a 19-year-old dealing with such a major setback. Kwenda now has 6 goals and 6 assists in 27 matches this season.

Last two games before Chelsea

Unless something unexpected happens, Kwenda only has two Sporting matches left before he officially moves to Chelsea. And He is absolutely ready.

The Portuguese title race is already over, with Porto confirmed as champions, meaning there is little pressure heading into Sporting’s remaining league clash against Gil Vicente.

However, there is still one more trophy available. Sporting will face lower-league team Torreense in the Taça de Portugal final, which should represent Quenada’s final match before starting their Chelsea adventure.

For months, Kwenda’s season was dominated by injury discussion, recovery plans and debate over Chelsea’s project. Now, at least briefly, the focus is back on football.

And the important thing for him is that he will not leave Sporting without scoring one last time.

Jannik Schuster’s move brentford Now nearing completion with ‘fundamental agreement’.

sky sports austria report The deal for the 19-year-old is now in the advanced stages. According to his knowledge, his transfer to Brentford is close to being finalised.

brentford agreement

The outlet reports that although no contract has been signed yet, an agreement in principle has been reached. Brentford have beaten other Premier League teams and Serie A side Kou to sign him.

The 19-year-old was reportedly impressed with Brentford’s project from the start. He is aware of his history of being a good stepping stone for young talent. The fact that Keith Andrews’ side are also in contention for Europe is another bonus.

According to Sky, the total deal including bonuses will be worth just over €20m. This would make Schuster the most expensive sale for an Austrian player in the history of the league.

He would surpass the previous record set by Nicolas Seewald when he moved to RB Leipzig. He would be joint tenth with Seewald and Erling Haaland in terms of record departures for RB Salzberg. Dominik Szoboszlai is headlined by a €36 million move to RB Leipzig in 2021.

Where does Schuster fit in at Brentford?

Whether the centre-back is seen as an immediate reinforcement to Brentford’s first team, or as a player for the future, remains to be seen.

The Bees already have strong options in central defence, with Sepp van den Bergh, Nathan Collins, Kristoffer Ajer and Ethan Pinnock to choose from.

But they are not immune to blooding youth quickly, and clearly have confidence in Jannik Schuster if they are willing to pay €20m to get him this summer.

Now the deal is done and in the final stages, only final confirmation is left. After that, the youngster can start working on convincing Brentford that it was money well spent.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique could play a key role in snatching Julian Alvarez armory in this summer.

AS reports that the Spanish coach He could play a role in denying Arsenal the big transfer they want from Atletico Madrid.

PSG denies Arsenal

The newspaper states that PSG will not accelerate any transfer moves until their season is over. Since the Champions League final is still to be played, his focus is on the pitch.

However, the first names to strengthen the team are already on the list. And Julian Álvarez is one who could be one of the main protagonists of the summer market. The Argentinian striker is a target for PSG.

In fact, that is a ‘specific request’ from Luis Enrique, who has always been a fan of the striker. They tried to sign him for PSG two years ago. Álvarez refused this and moved to Atlético Madrid instead.

Now sources close to the 26-year-old are reporting that a summer transfer is possible. This has aroused great interest from European clubs.

Arsenal and Barcelona have also expressed interest in acquiring his services. But the presence of Luis Enrique in the fight could tip the scales in favor of PSG.

The Spaniard’s playing style and the excellent work he has done in Paris are factors that could ‘overwhelm’ for the striker. PSG see him as the ideal player, especially if Goncalo Ramos goes as expected.

Arsenal need to move forward now

Thus, Arsenal may need to make a move. For months now reports have been linking them with a possible move for the Argentina star.

But with Enrique’s backing, PSG may be hard to beat ahead of his signing. The French giants can easily outperform Arsenal when it comes to financial matters.

Perhaps a big performance and Arsenal’s victory in the Champions League final could help the Gunners swing the argument in their favor.

Real Union president Igor Emery and sporting director Mikel Bengoa recently visited Aston VillaWith transfers on the agenda.

Report on today’s trip from El Diario Vasco In an interview with Bengoa about the trip and the club’s plans moving forward.

aston villa link

Real Union is owned by Unai Emery and his family, who purchased the Spanish club in 2021. The Basque club, a founding member of La Liga, is deeply linked to the Emery family, with the Aston Villa manager’s father and grandfather also playing for them.

The Premier League club and their owners V Sports announced an associate partnership with them in 2023.

The pair have worked together since then and continue to do so. El Diario Vasco reports that Bengoa and Igor Emery were in Birmingham last week. He first watched the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

But the trip had other motivations. They also took a look behind the scenes at Villa Park and discussed a possible transfer between the two clubs.

“We took the opportunity to see some of the work being done to prepare for the final stage of the season. But above all, to compare the possibilities for next season and prepare ourselves in the best way to be as competitive as possible.” Bengoa explained.

Aston Villa’s youngsters are shining

The Spanish side were recently promoted from the Spanish fourth tier. According to Bengoa, this presents an interesting aspect for Aston Villa next season.

He has loaned several youngsters to Real Union in recent years. And Bengoa is eager to continue moving forward.

“For them, the Primera RFEF is a very interesting league for the development of their players,” He added.

“There is no doubt that we will find common ground to help each other more easily than in Segunda RFEF.

“The club is extremely pleased with how the people who have come here have developed. There is a strong possibility of O’Reilly being sold this summer. Finney is developing in League One. Munro started in League Two. But in January, they sold him to a Championship team.

“James Wright has been the third-choice goalkeeper for the first team throughout the season. He is pleased with his good performances on a daily basis. He assesses that his time at Irun has given him experience which will make him stronger when he returns to English football.”

The Barcelona press are not giving up on the idea of ​​Anthony Gordon joining their local club this summer. And now, they’re getting newcastle united Journalists involved in transfer drama.

Today game report on the Newcastle winger And hear from Rafe Tindall and Sean McCormick regarding a potential move this summer.

Newcastle United to Barcelona

There have been reports of a move for Anthony Gordon away from Newcastle this summer. Bayern Munich were the first to be linked, with multiple claims in Germany insisting that his agents had met with the German giants.

Then Barcelona was brought into the mix. His agents were at his center again Sport catches him meeting Barcelona sporting director Deco.

The newspaper reported that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has ‘particular admiration’ for Gordon. According to the newspaper, the biggest obstacle to a deal is its high price.

Now the newspaper wants the Newcastle angle, and they have contacted Tindall and McCormick to discuss it today.

“It is widely believed that one of the star players will be sold this summer, as Newcastle chief executive David Hopkinson has admitted. In addition to Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramiento are also attracting interest,” The latter said.

“Newcastle are demanding £80 million (€92 million) for Gordon. Although there is room for negotiation, I don’t think it will go much lower.

“He has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, but it seems they are not willing to pay that much. Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested, but Newcastle would prefer to sell him to another club rather than an English rival.”

Everton Clough, Isaac Drama

Meanwhile, Tindall explains that Newcastle need to consider a number of factors when it comes to a deal.

Chief among them is a clause owed to Everton. The Toffees are owed 15% of any future sales following the winger’s move in 2023.

The Magpies are also keen to avoid a repeat of what happened to Alexander Isaac last summer. He remained on strike throughout the summer, forcing a transfer to Liverpool.

That eventually happened but Newcastle were forced to make a late and costly move to replace Nick Woltemade. According to Tindale, a repeat of that saga would not be welcome.

“If Gordon leaves, the way he does so will completely determine how Newcastle fans remember him, as a hero if it’s on good terms, or as a traitor if he tries to force an exit,” He added.

he missed her “Gordon refused to train with Everton for three consecutive days” Before signing for the Magpies.

Perfect for Barcelona

However, both journalists have no doubt about one thing. Anthony Gordon would be a perfect fit for this current Barcelona team.

“He is absolutely fit, he has proven that he can perform at the highest level, and he is one of those players who can single-handedly change the result,” Tindale said.

“Signing a player capable of working across the entire attacking line would be an example of talent. He has all the attributes to become one of the best wingers in Europe under Hansi Flick.”

“Gordon is very fast, an excellent dribbler, and creates threat in the final third of the pitch,” McCormick concluded.

“He has adapted perfectly to the physical environment and has great technique. He meets all the criteria.”

Lorenzo Lucca transfer nottingham forest Has not worked as expected. There are now suggestions that the deal was part of a wider plan.

The Italian arrived at the City Ground on loan from Napoli with an option to purchase.

Lucca scored on his debut away at Nottingham Forest but has since fallen out of favor. He has played only four times in the Premier League, with his early progress ruined by injuries.

There are allegations that Lucca’s move to England is part of a larger series.

corona details status

Fabrizio Corona, who was the main whistleblower behind the Sandro Tonali betting scandal in Italy, has now made some more claims.

He talked about Lorenzo Lucca’s agent on his Falcissimo podcast.

Corona said- by ​​relay footballnapoli24: : “Two of my friends from Inter, Carlos Augusto and Fratesi, when Galliani arrived at Monza they had other agents. Galliani gave them to Riso, and where did Riso sell them? To Inter.”

Speaking about how Lucca’s move to Nottingham Forest could be a part of this, Corona said:

“Who benefited? Riso and Galliani. Closing the discussion on Riso’s agent, as a last bit of information, Lucca was bought by Conte’s Napoli. Riso, this time again with Lina Soloukou, because she is a friend of the chairman of Olympiacos, who is also the chairman of Nottingham, was sent there. Lucca, who played three games at Nottingham Forest.”

The general pattern is no surprise

Corona tries to explain relationships as the reason for transfers. This trend has been seen in the sports world in Italy for decades.

Even though Corona may find it wrong, deals being struck through influence are nothing new.

celtic Frosinone were interested in signing Fares Ghedjemis in January. Their decision to reject the move has now paid off.

sports witness Actively covered the approach of the hoops towards the end of the window. Celtic made an offer that seemed to have convinced the Serie B club, but the player himself decided to stay and help Frosinone return to the Italian top-flight.

That objective has now been achieved, with the Canarini having secured second place in Serie B.

Ghedjemis led the league by scoring 15 times. He has been particularly impressive in 2026, finding the net nine times. He scored in a 5–0 win over Mantova at the weekend, helping them achieve promotion.

Player was never keen on Celtic

Frosinone general manager Pietro Doronzo has spoken to Radio Sportiva about his club’s return to Serie A. The situation with Gedzemis was a typical subject, with the Italian appearing very grateful that the player stayed despite having the chance to leave.

He said- relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “In January, there was a real possibility that Gedzemis would leave: Celtic made a very important offer. President Stirpe, despite knowing how important he was to us, wanted to consult the boy, reiterating that Frosinone is not a prison.”

Doronzo explained the player’s stance and how that determination has now paid off.

“The player responded clearly: “I want to be here to win the championship. It was a risk to turn down that offer, but the President’s courage and the boy’s determination were rewarded. Today, Gedzemis has doubled in value, and his performance has been key to our ascent.

Celtic may no longer have a chance

Fares Gedzemis’ decision ended Celtic’s chance of signing the 23-year-old Algerian, who has now reached a new level.

Doronzo himself has confirmed that the winger’s value has doubled, which could now attract clubs from the Premier League and Serie A, with the chance to further impress at the World Cup.

Guedjamis is an Algerian international and looks set to continue his form in the summer. This would further damage Celtic’s chances of making a move for him, even if Frosinone were open to a sale.

Juventus is not giving up of liverpool Alisson and are now counting on the player to secure a summer deal.

The Brazilian’s current deal now expires in 2027, making him an attractive target for the Old Lady. Luciano Spalletti managed the goalkeeper during his time at AS Roma, while the Italians were eager for relegation.

sports witness Covered how the Italian media have appeared confident about a move. He feels that the player has opened the way for a transfer to Turin, even if dealing with Liverpool may not be very easy.

Discussions have also been held with Ellison’s team, who could play a key role in the move.

today’s tuttosport Provides detailed details of the deal, as both clubs will be negotiating soon.

Alison’s hometown is Turin

The newspaper believes Alisson took his time in assessing Juve as a destination. He felt he had fulfilled his childhood dreams with Liverpool and considered an exit.

The Brazilian has an excellent relationship with the Reds and will not force a transfer. Plus, they feel that they will respect their decision to leave rather than forcing them to stay.

He has now decided that he only wants Juve. Spalletti’s presence in Turin is very important for him, because Alisson can play regularly for the Bianconeri. This may not be possible on Merseyside, as is clear The rise of Giorgi Mamardashvili this season.

The group is pressurizing for transfer

Furthermore, Juve has ordered Alisson’s entourage to schedule talks with Liverpool soon. This is making the Old Lady optimistic about a move, as the 33-year-old will be able to express her demands in favor of Arne Slot during negotiations.

Reds are expected to demand Between €15m and €20m but Juve are dependent on Alisson’s willingness to reduce that valuation.

The agreement on personal terms is almost done. The veteran has been offered a three-year deal worth €5m per season after tax, which appears to be good enough for him.

Our Opinion: Financial package could be bigger

Taking into account all the finances involved, Juve may have to pay around €30m for the goalkeeper. This includes a sign-on bonus and potential commission for Alison’s team.

This could cause problems with the deal, with the British press appearing less convinced of the player’s intentions.

Perhaps that’s why Juve already has options in mind. They will not want to waste too much time and risk missing the target like David De Gea.

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.

Andrea Cambiasso is among the players who could leave Juventus and this should come as an incentive for him tottenham.

The Italy international’s 2025/26 campaign has been full of ups and downs. In the first half of the season, they were often criticized by their own fans under the management of Igor Tudor. This has changed under Luciano Spalletti, who has seen Cambiasso start every Serie A fixture.

last week, sports witness Mirko Di Natale’s claim about the London club’s initial exposure to the Italian was covered. They were not alone, several teams were also credited with interest.

Inter Milan tried to sign the versatile full-back in January. Juve were against the idea but the Nerazzurri can now offer Carlos Augusto to Juve to tempt him with a summer transfer.

It is Tottenham who could be in the driving seat, as Cambiaso is more likely to end up in England.

The situation is becoming clear

IT migration market Report Juve have placed Cambiasso on the ‘expendable list’ for the summer. They realize how he has grown under Spalletti, but will be tempted if suitors offer between €30m and €35m in the summer.

The outlet says that while AC Milan are no longer interested, Napoli remain interested. A big reason is their sporting director Giovanni Manna, who played a decisive role in bringing Cambiasso to Juve in 2022.

Despite this, it is the Premier League that is now the most likely destination for the defender.

Cambiaso has many admirers – including Tottenham in England. A move to Spurs would be viable due to his financial capacity, as Italian clubs are less likely to pay large sums.

Our opinion: Cambiaso adds value to the team

Even though the 26-year-old has not always been consistent, versatility is his biggest strength. He primarily plays at full-back, but has also comfortably operated not only at wing-back but as a winger on either flank.

This would make him a valuable player for Tottenham, who will be selling a number of players in the summer. A player like Cambiaso will raise the technical floor of the team.

This is one of his strengths, which is why Pep Guardiola was keen to sign him in January 2025. His age is also right and Juve are not demanding big money.

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

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

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United call

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

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

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

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

€80m asking price

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

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

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

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

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.

Tottenham Hotspur are still leaning towards signing Joao Palinha permanently from Bayern Munich. However, Sporting is already keeping a close eye on how the situation changes.

The midfielder has been one of Spurs’ most important players this season. Palhinha has made 30 Premier League appearances, scoring four goals and adding two assists while playing over 2,200 league minutes.

These numbers help explain why Roberto De Zerbi has relied on him so much in midfield.

The Tottenham manager has also publicly praised the Portugal international during the season. De Zerbi even said that Spurs should sign “more players like him”. This naturally reinforced the feeling that the club is leaning towards activating a permanent deal with Bayern Munich. even discount is being discussed.

But the situation could become even more complicated if Tottenham are relegated from the Premier League. Spurs remain languishing near the bottom of the table. Joining the Championship would completely change the club’s financial picture and summer plans.

So while there is still no definitive outcome, there is blood in the water.

Sporting is keeping a close eye on the situation

According to, that uncertainty is now attracting Sporting’s attention to ball. The Portuguese newspaper reports that the Lisbon side is closely monitoring Palhinha’s situation. They are preparing to make major changes to the midfield ahead of next season.

Morten Hjulmand Expected to leave Alvalade this summer. During this time, hidemasa morita He is close to a move to Leeds United after his contract expires. In that rebuilding scenario, Palahinha remains a key target internally.

The 30-year-old came through the Sporting academy before joining Fulham in 2022 for €21m (£18m). Bayern Munich signed him until 2024 before loaning him to Tottenham.

One Bola says Bayern is open to another exit. Reports put the asking price around €30 million (£25.8 million), although Sporting believe a loan would be far more realistic financially.

Players still strongly associated with sporting

The Portuguese newspaper says Palhinha would prefer Sporting if several clubs offered similar terms.

A return to Portugal reportedly appeals for family reasons, while Sporting apparently has a strong emotional advantage due to his history at the club.

There is also another important information. A Bola claims that Palhinha will even reduce his salary demands to help him get back into Alvalade.

For now, Tottenham are still in the best position to keep him permanently. However, the lack of a final decision – coupled with Spurs’ uncertain league position – is leaving the door open for Sporting to dream.

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is now trying to move forward quickly

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

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

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

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

Little changed in Atletico deal

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

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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.

Werder Bremen continue to play transfer game as they seek relaxation southampton Debtor Yukinari Sugawara this summer.

BILD HANOVER REPORT ON DEFENDER TODAYThat includes comments from manager Clemens Fritz regarding the 25-year-old.

transfer doubt

The newspaper states that while Yukinari Sugawara has been the most valuable asset of the seven loaned players this season, No decision has been made about signing him permanently.

It is thought Werder could sign the right-back on a loan deal with Southampton this summer via a €6m option. But the last few weeks have changed this.

Sugawara is no longer undisputed in the team. His performance has reportedly become ‘stagnant’.

Manager Clemens Fritz (45) told BILD: “Yuki has a lot to give, but there is still more potential. He is a good boy, but there has been no decision yet on whether we will continue with him or not.”

southampton talks

But the German clubs are certain; They will not pay the €6m buyout clause this summer. However, this doesn’t mean that Yukinari Sugawara’s time with them is over.

Instead, Werder Bremen intend to negotiate with Southampton to secure the services of the defender. They, obviously, want a cut and want to get it cheap.

The problem on that front is that he is ready to play in the World Cup. Their performance there could help increase their market value. This is something that Southampton are very aware of. Therefore, there is no hope of reaching an agreement with the vendor soon.

Instead, they will sit and wait to see what happens. Sugawara is under contract until 2028 so there is no immediate pressure on that front either.

Looks like they know a lot about what Werder are doing and won’t play along for the time being. Whether that causes panic among the German club, who would buy Sugawara for less than his current €7.5m valuation, remains to be seen.

brighton and hove albion Star Matt Wiffer believes he could be at Real Madrid now if his early development had continued at his previous pace.

Twenty Fans reports on Wiffer’s comments today Made in the Netherlands in an interview with Amazon.

real madrid confidence

The Dutch midfielder, who now plays as a right-back, is on loan from Brighton after joining him for €30m in 2024.

He was a record transfer to his former club FC Twente, where he came through the youth ranks at the club. His growth was rapid there and has continued in Brighton ever since.

He was asked about that rapid development, but stood by his stance on whether he felt he could have ended up at Real Madrid.

“If things had continued at the same pace, I would have been at Real Madrid right now,” He said.

“Of course, it is unrealistic to expect to reach the top level immediately, so I made a conscious decision not to join a top level club immediately.”

brighton transfer plan

Like many, the Dutchman deliberately chose Brighton for the development path they offer players. Under the leadership of Fabian Herzeler they are benefiting from this.

“Coming here was a very conscious decision, and they knew me very well,” He added.

“This is an amazing club. We sit just below the top tier and are pushing to establish ourselves among England’s elite. Naturally, there are ups and downs, especially since we have such a young squad.”

premier league adaptation

Mats Wiffer is now a regular in the Brighton team, although this has required him to adapt to a new role as a right-back.

It appears he has finally adapted to life in England and the Premier League. And he admits it took some time for that to happen.

“Things are going well for me personally now, but it definitely took some getting used to in the beginning,” He concluded.

“The English understand that players need time to settle in during their first year. James Milner actually mentioned this to me. He commented that while it’s impressive when players adapt quickly, it’s a really difficult process, something I’ve certainly experienced first-hand.”

liverpoolAlexis McAllister has not had his best campaign with the Premier League this season.

The Reds began their title defense with five consecutive wins. Since then, they have won 12 of their last 30 league matches.

Liverpool are now fourth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Aston Villa and will finish trophy-less this season.

Last month, Paris Saint-Germain ousted the English club from the Champions League. After abolition, the Argentina international said He is unhappy because he was expecting a successful campaign for Liverpool.

McAllister has been one of the players to come under criticism and it has led to suggestions that his future at Anfield is uncertain.

Agent sends message to Liverpool fans

winwin Alexis met with McAllister’s father Carlos, who is also the Liverpool man’s agent.

The representative says there have been no talks with any other club over a possible transfer of the 27-year-old player. He also revealed that Arne Slot’s side have not contacted him to talk about a new contract.

He said: “Alexis’s contract runs until June 2028, and so far, we have not been in public talks with any other club.

“We believe the club’s fans deserve that level of respect from the player. To date, the club has not negotiated with us regarding a contract renewal.”

The World Cup winner graduated from Boca Juniors’ youth system. He spent three years with them before joining Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2019.

two months ago, The Reds player said He would “love” to return to River Plate at some point in the future.

What next for Mac Allister and Liverpool?

The English club’s immediate focus is securing Champions League qualification and then working on rebuilding their squad over the summer.

Alexis McAllister will be looking to finish with a stellar performance and then join the Argentina squad for the World Cup.

His contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is worth €80 million. If the Reds plan to extend his contract, it is unlikely to be discussed until after the World Cup.

The South American has played 52 matches this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.

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.

crystal Palace Fenerbahce are keen to sign goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who is now on loan at Dinamo Zagreb.

Earlier this week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Croatia That Crystal Palace can ‘satisfy’ both Fenerbahçe’s €5m price tag and the stopper’s wage demands.

The same source also said the 31-year-old could move to England to join the Eagles in the summer.

Livakovic lost prominence at Fenerbahçe following Ederson’s arrival last summer and joined the Croatian club on loan in January. The move has helped him enjoy regular minutes again and is now attracting interest.

Crystal Palace’s interest backed

The Croatian international’s performances may have convinced Dinamo Zagreb to keep him while there are other clubs in the picture.

is according to sports newsJoe supports Crystal Palace’s interest and says the Eagles ‘want him’. He could earn more by switching to Selhurst Park rather than extending his stay.

The stopper’s permanent exit will net Fenerbahçe around €5 million and save on wages [€5m until 2028]. In case of a new loan, the Yellow Canaries want the club to cover his entire salary.

Oliver Glasner’s side can meet the demands set by both Fenner and the player. On the other hand, the Croatian club wants to sign him without compensation.

Sportske Novosti also spoke to the player’s agent Andy Barra and discussed his future plans. He confirmed an upcoming visit to Istanbul to conduct transfer talks with the Turkish club.

“Livakovic is ready to make concessions to Dinamo, as he has already done. But he cannot persuade Fener to let him go without a fee. Or for little money, when they have much bigger offers for him,” He said.

“To be honest, many clubs are calling, they are interested in Dominic; he is a goalkeeper at his peak. He is going to the World Cup, he is playing great for Dinamo… But to be honest, we have not talked about anything concrete yet.”

“He himself told me to wait until the league is over, so that Dinamo can also try to win the cup. Then he and I will get on the plane and go to Istanbul for talks with the Turks. After that meeting, we will be in a better position with respect to Dinamo. Because Dinamo is also in the running.”

Eagles can meet fee demand

The representative says the Istanbul club will not let him go by terminating his contract.

He also insists that Dinamo Zagreb cannot keep him without paying compensation. This could come as an incentive for Crystal Palace to meet the fee demanded.

Bara explained: “Of course, he won’t stay! The Turks will never accept it. He can’t do it. It’s impossible to do business with Fenerbahçe without compensation. But no one from Dinamo has called me yet and said they won’t give compensation.

“I think it’s still a bit early. I think Maksimir is also waiting for the end of the season, he wants to see who he will sell. Maybe if they earn €15m, Modri ​​will sell to Belje.

“Then they can have compensation for Livakovic, maybe they say they are willing to pay €2.5m, let’s try to complete the transfer. Of course, even this should not be enough, if a club offers Fenerbahçe €4, 5 or 6m.”

Contracts, prices and statistics

Dominik Livakovic has kept five clean sheets and conceded 16 goals in 14 matches for Dinamo Zagreb.

His contract at Fenerbahçe expires in 2028 and is worth €4m transfer market.

Crystal Palace and the Croatian club will have to wait until he returns from talks with his parent club.

watford There is uncertainty once again over Jorge Cabezas Hurtado after the striker endured a disappointing loan spell in Colombia.

The 22-year-old joined Millonarios in need of regular football and a chance to regain his rhythm. Instead, the move never went smoothly.

Hurtado played only five matches for Millonarios. He only played 149 minutes in total and failed to register any goals or assists during his time there. For a forward trying to get back into the picture at Watford, those numbers are hard to ignore.

The lack of participation also helps explain the latest updates coming from Colombia.

Loan spell fails to generate momentum

Jorge Cabezas Hurtado arrived at Millonarios with the opportunity to restart his career. Instead, he struggled to establish himself in the squad rotation and was never able to become a significant attacking option.

The absence of a goal or assist only increases doubt about what will happen next.

Journalist pipe sierra Reportedly Millonarios have already informed Watford that they will not be activating their purchase option for the striker. His agent is therefore looking for a new destination ahead of the summer transfer window.

Watford must now decide whether another loan move is worth pursuing or whether a permanent departure would be the cleanest solution. The player still has age in him, but this latest spell has done nothing to strengthen his position.

There is another important information in the report of Pipe Sierra. The fact that the player’s representatives are already looking for alternatives suggests there is limited confidence that he will have a meaningful role at Vicarage Road next season.

what happens next

Jorge Cabezas Hurtado is still only 22 and there will likely be clubs willing to gamble on his potential. However, this latest loan failed to generate the progress Watford had hoped for.

A new move elsewhere in South America or into a smaller European league now seems more realistic. If Watford still believe regular minutes are a priority then another temporary exit may suit all parties.

However, the situation looks quite straightforward right now. The Millonarios loan did not work out, the purchase option will not be activated, and Watford are back to looking for the next step in the striker’s career.

ipswich town achieved direct promotion to the Premier League after finishing second in the Championship.

Chuba Akpom played a role in Ipswich Town’s return to the top flight, managing two goals and one assist in 29 league appearances.

The English club initially signed him on loan from Ajax in August 2025.

Earlier that month, Sport Witness broadcast news Ipswich Town included a compulsory buyout in case of promotion. The same source said the price was €8m plus €2m in potential bonuses.

With their promotion to the Premier League confirmed, Ipswich Town made the 30-year-old be permanent On Tuesday. He has signed a contract at Portman Road until 2029.

Details of sale to Ipswich Town

De Telegraaf journalist Mike Verweij is delighted with Chuba Akpom’s permanent move to the English club and discussed the deal on the podcast Kick-Off. football news Circulating my comments.

The forward joined the Dutch club from Middlesbrough in August 2023 for around €12.3m.

Verweij says the sale raised €9.3m for Ajax.

Alex Kroos was technical director when Akpom moved to England on loan and left Ajax in January. The journalist praised the official for adding a buyout clause as part of the temporary deal.

“Alex Croes didn’t do many things right, but this is clearly a top segment,” He said.

“Especially because you see he didn’t even come on as a substitute in those promotion matches against Queens Park Rangers. He sat on the bench for 90 minutes. That’s been the situation for the last few weeks.

“I think the Ajax management are happy. Otherwise, you would not only not have got him back, but you would also have had to pay his huge salary next year. And you would never have been able to sell him for €9.3m.”

Akpom hopes for better performance in PL

Before joining Ipswich Town, Chuba Akpom played for several English clubs. These include Arsenal, Brentford, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest, Hull City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Middlesbrough.

However, he has only played four matches in the Premier League with the Gunners. One was during the 2013/14 season and the remaining three were in the following season for a total of 28 minutes.

transfer market Estimate his value at €5m. The highest was €12m in June 2023, when he was at Middlesbrough.

Mariano Troilo’s rise at Parma did not go unnoticed Sunderland Laying the foundation for a summer deal.

last week, sports witness Covered Brentford’s interest in the defender. The claims come from Tuttomercatoweb, who have promoted the centre-back and his performances in the current campaign.

Troilo started slowly but has become an important player for Carlos Cuesta’s team. He scored a big goal against Milan in March, having now started 15 games in 2026 alone.

The Argentine has started well in each of his last four Serie A games against both Inter and Napoli.

His performances are now impressing Sunderland, who are also emerging as suitors.

The Black Cats have spoken to their teammates

ParmaToday have published a detailed report on the 22-year-old and are highly complimentary of Troilo’s attitude and work-ethic. He was involved in a scuffle with Nicolo Barella at the weekend, and his tendency to not back down from a challenge is winning over fans.

Sunderland are believed to have taken note of his attributes on the pitch as well. At an early stage, he has started to inquire with his squad about a summer deal.

Parma are sitting quietly and are very happy with how Troilo has turned their season around. Many did not expect him to perform so well in his first season in Serie A but he has left his mark. Troilo has really taken over for Giovanni Leoni and is performing well at the back as well.

Parma see him as an important part of the project and only an ‘important offer’ would trigger his transfer.

Our Opinion: Troilo could be a good opportunity

Now the centre-back is impressing in Italy, and spent two years impressing for Club Atlético Belgrano before joining Parma.

Generally, South American players consider Serie A to be a suitable league for development. Troilo’s career is headed down the same path, with the transfer clearly helping him.

There is every possibility that the major teams of Serie A will call him soon. That’s why Sunderland would be wise to at least lay the groundwork for a deal. This could prove beneficial if the defender continues to perform well over the next few months.

newcastle united The latest Premier League club was Publicly linked with wonderkid Gabriel Meek. Gremio’s stance on the teenager has now been directly addressed by a senior figure at the Brazilian club.

The 18-year-old was one of the standout performers in Grêmio’s 3-0 win over Deportivo Riestra in the Copa Sudamericana. Meck recorded an assist and played with a confidence that continues to attract European attention.

That performance added to the growing clamor over his future.

chelsea Despite previous talks and recent inquiries for the make, it is still firmly in the race. The Blues have come close to striking a deal in the past and have been heavily linked with the Brazilian.

Brentford and nottingham forest The picture has also changed in recent months as interest in the Premier League among teenagers has been increasing.

liverpoolMeanwhile, he was credited with already having strong interest in the process and was even reported in Brazil to have internally compared Make’s attacking style to that of Vinicius Junior.

Gremio have currently ruled out formal bids

After the match in Buenos Aires, Grêmio vice-president Antonio Dutra Júnior was asked directly about the player’s situation amid growing transfer interest.

“There is currently no official offer for Gabriel Make,” he explained to the Brazilian outlet zero hour. “He is a Grêmio player and we trust him. When the offers come, Grêmio will analyze them, both for Gabriel and for any other player.”

The comments are important because they lend some credence to the idea that conversations have already progressed behind the scenes. Also they don’t close the door at all.

In fact, Dutra’s words strongly suggest that Grêmio are preparing for that moment to finally come.

Newcastle’s latest club in pictures

As we recently coveredNewcastle are among the clubs most linked with the attacking midfielder.

The Magpies have become increasingly active in South America and continue to keep an eye on emerging attacking talents from the region.

Meck fits the profile of a high-upside signing with room for development, especially after his recent increase in first-team involvement at Grêmio.

Additionally, he has recently turned 18, so the final bar to moving to Europe has been lifted. At the same time, Grêmio is dealing with pressure from its long-term contract situation and growing expectations of major sales in the future.

“A great value”

Dutra also clarified that Grêmio expects to receive a large sum of money if Meck ultimately leaves.

“I think he’s a player whose value will be huge,” The Vice President said. “He is a player who has just started his career and has immense potential. I am sure he will have a great career.”

Those comments align with the market picture already forming around the player.

Gremio have previously been linked with a valuation between €15m (£12.9m) and €20m (£17.2m), while Chelsea have been mentioned in reports with figures as high as €24m (£20.6m).

There may not be formal bids yet, but Grêmio already sees Make as a player capable of making a big transfer in the near future.

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

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

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

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

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

Lyon know they have a valuable asset

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

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

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

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

Sporting wait in the background

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

Jan Ziolkowski has managed to show glimpses of his quality at AS Roma this season and is now attracting West Ham Interest.

earlier this year, sports witness Poland cover claims Newcastle United are looking for a defender. This came amid a decrease in the centre-back’s playing time at Roma, after starting few games towards the end of the year.

That was in the absence of Ivan Ndika, who had left for AFCON with Ivory Coast. His return has impressed Ziolkowski, whose last start in Serie A came in the first week of January.

He has played in the last two games but has only logged eight total minutes.

Preparations are now underway to help him with his exit, with West Ham monitoring the situation.

Middlemen are trying to find a safe exit

romanist A closer look at the potential exit from the Giallorossi. They are likely to be forced to declare capital gains by UEFA FFP before the end of June. Failure to do so could put them at risk of fine or ban.

As things stand, the likes of Manu Kone, Ndika and Miles Swiller are prime candidates to leave. But this does not rule out the possibility of Ziolkowski’s exit.

The 20-year-old is said to be seeking more playing time, with the Premier League being touted as a possible destination. As a result, a mediator has been employed to receive a proposal from England.

Roma want €20 million for his permanent exit, with West Ham leading the race. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side would have no objection to his exit, as the sale of some lesser-known players could help them meet their financial targets by June.

He paid Legia Warsaw for €6 million last year and feels he has got enough of a capital gain.

Our take: Deal could go either way

Ziolkowski has performed well whenever called upon to take up the job at Roma. He is still quite young and hasn’t really played enough games to perform consistently.

This would make a move to West Ham risky, especially if they remain in the Premier League.

Due to Roma’s financial concerns the deal could be done for less than €20m.

Tottenham HotspurRadu Dragusin joined the Premier League team from Genoa in January 2024.

Two years ago, Drăgușin’s Agent Florin Mane confirmed Interest from both Napoli and Bayern Munich.

However, the defender decided to move to Tottenham, where he did not have the same impact as at Genoa.

Juventus first brought him to Italy in 2018 and let him go on loan to Sampdoria and Salernitana during the 2021/22 season.

The Romania international moved to Genoa on a loan deal in July 2022 and joined them permanently a year later. During his time with the Italian club, the centre-back played 62 matches.

according to prosport In Romania, Radu Dragusin wanted to move to SC Heerenveen instead of Genoa, who were in Serie B at the time.

Former Romania international Razvan Ras managed to transform his personality.

Tottenham man receives transfer advice

The 44-year-old, who had a spell at West Ham United during his playing career, convinced his compatriot to choose Genoa over the Eredivisie side. He made the call at the request of the defender’s agent, Florin Mané.

Ras told the defender “You’re going to have hemorrhoids on the bench!” In Heerenveen.

He said: “I was in Bali on holidays, and I got a call from Florin Mania. Dragusin’s loan at Salernitana had expired, and Juventus wanted to get rid of him. He was no longer part of their plans.

“And Mania said to me: ‘You also talk to Dragusin. He has an offer from Heerenveen, and he really wants to go there.’ I talked to Andres [Blazquez]From genoa. They want him, they are buying him, but the player does not want to go to Serie B. You explain to him that he should not go to Heerenveen. Because it’s better. It’s Serie B, it has better visibility”.

“At the same time, Andrés called me: ‘Won’t you talk to the player, convince him to come to us? Let’s tell him that, even if he makes mistakes and I don’t know what, we will care, we see a good player in him.’

“I took the phone number, I called him: ‘Hi, I’m Razwan Ras! I’d like to talk a little about your career.’ And I told him what the club wanted, what Andrés had explained to me.”

“I told him: ‘It’s Serie B, but still, you have visibility. At Heerenveen, if you go there, you will make a bad mistake twice and end up having to go to the bench. If I were you, I would choose it’. That was my discussion with him, and I told him it was his decision. I talked to him for about 30 minutes. And that was it.”

What’s next for the Spurs defender?

Efforts by Rezvan Ras, Andrés Blázquez and Florin Mania paid off as Radu Dragusin defeated Genoa.

This helped him move to a Premier League team, where his future needs will be met after this season.

There were several Serie A sides who wanted to sign him in the winter market, and there was also German interest.

On April 30, Khel Witness Covered claims from Romania That Dragusin has said yes to RB Leipzig, who are to agree a deal with Tottenham Hotspur.

Maybe Razwan Raas will come on the phone again.

of burnley Michael Kolesh is finding some form in his loan spell at Paris FC. This is helping him attract attention in Italy.

last month, sports witness The attacker’s comments about his love for AC Milan were covered. He also described going to Serie A as a dream.

Despite playing for the Italy U21 team, he never played in Italy, previously plying his trade with Espanyol.

The Burnley player has three Ligue 1 goals this season and has quickly attracted the interest of Bologna. This could help Colesho achieve his dream.

bologna spies italian

corriere dello sport Yesterday spoke about Bologna’s plans for the summer transfer window. He added that sporting director Marco Di Vaio and technical director Giovanni Sartori were in the stands to watch Paris FC’s 4-0 win over Brest in Ligue 1 at the weekend.

It was mentioned that defender Otavio was a particular focus of the trip but he did not rule out interest in other players.

today’s corriere dello sport The Burnley player is also said to be of interest to the Rossoblu. Sartori and Di Vaio are admirers of his profile and see him as someone who can improve their attack next season.

Any move will depend on Riccardo Orsolini’s future, with Jonathan Rowe’s status also in doubt.

The rise of coleus in Paris has attracted the interest of Bologna. The report mentions that the Clarets loanee is commanding a ‘significant premium’ due to his form in France.

Burnley may be a little less in control

At the moment, Paris FC has the option to purchase Colesho permanently. There is little clarity as to whether or not that will happen, but it appears the winger’s future at Turf Moor has been sealed.

Burnley’s relegation hasn’t helped either.

Paris FC could also decide to exercise their option on the 21-year-old and then sell him.

to brighton chelsea The transfer route is well underway these days, and it seems transfer rumors are also on the way, as it is said that El Mala could now be set for Stamford Bridge this summer.

Sport Bild reports that Chelsea Now the 19-year-old is at the front of the queue for the move, and has pushed Brighton aside in the process.

brighton still interested

The newspaper reports that Saeed El Mala’s future is now being strictly handled by his mother Sabrina El Mala. She has taken up the role since March and will tackle the transfer this summer.

On Monday, after the defeat to Leverkusen, he called up Brighton. The purpose of this was to find out whether, as reports said, he had completely withdrawn his offer for Forward.

Brighton insisted she did not do so, and that she still had a ‘intense interest’ in her son. Their offer of €35m was also still valid. The problem is that Cologne blocked the conversation after this Brighton failed to formally submit their planned €35m offer.

The Seagulls, for their part, had acted this way because they did not intend to match Cologne’s €50m asking price. Their strategy is to wait for the price to fall and then make their move.

At this time no club has made a firm bid. But Brighton believe that Cologne have been made aware that someone will be coming. And that’s what is making them firm on their demands of €50m. However, the German club has not even spoken to Sabrina El Mala.

Chelsea bid in the making

She, thanks to her role in the poker game, is clearly gambling on Chelsea’s bid. According to Sportbild, the Blues have hinted in talks that they will make a higher bid than Brighton this summer.

In fact, their plan would be to outbid the Seagulls and then send Sed El Mala back on loan to Cologne for another year. This will be a ‘dream come true’ for the family.

Chelsea could afford to stay a year away with the youngster, and he would be happy to spend another year developing in his homeland. It’s the best of both worlds for cologne.

The problem is that Chelsea may struggle to make that bid this summer. If they miss the Champions League, which looks possible, the financial hit will alter their plans drastically. There won’t be any expensive signing that won’t lead to an immediate promotion to the first team.

This would be bad news for the El Mala family, as Brighton have no interest in a deal that would see him loaned back out next season.

Thus, they find themselves in dilemma. Sabrina El Mala, the agent, is desperate to keep everyone interested while they wait and hopes that Chelsea will offer the deal that everyone really wants.

Andrea Dossena’s time liverpool Wasn’t the most impressive but he has positive memories of it.

The Italian arrived at the Anfield club at the age of 26, joining from Udinese in 2008. He was brought in to replace John Arne Riise, who had joined Roma on a permanent deal after a successful stint on Merseyside.

Dossena spent one and a half seasons at Liverpool. Even though he couldn’t match up to the player he replaced, the defender had some memorable moments of his own.

I have talked to him transfer market about magic, and was particularly influenced by Enfield.

anfield experience

Dossena was asked what impact the song You’ll Never Walk Alone made on him.

Speaking in glowing terms he replied: “Very emotional, even more so when there were Champions League matches: tuxedos were worn in the stadium. When you stand in the middle line before the match starts, hearing the whole stadium singing gives you an incredible boost.”

Dossena revealed that adapting to life at Liverpool was not easy but playing at Anfield made up for it.

“It was a city that was not easy to adapt to, especially given the constant rain and windy environment. But those two hours inside the stadium outweighed the difficulties outside.”

Spanish connection helped

Dossena explained that having Spaniards in Liverpool helped him a lot because of the similarity with Italian culture.

Speaking about his closest companions, he said: “Xabi Alonso and Pepe Reina; the Spanish culture is very similar to ours.

“Gerard often kept to himself, Egger was cold-blooded, and many of them went to play golf, but since I don’t like it, I had less opportunities to hang out with them.”

The former defender also praised Rafa Benitez’s football-minded approach to coaching.

“Very precise and precise. He only talked about football; that was his world.”

Dossena also seemed grateful to Benítez for changing his position and said: “The week of goals against Manchester United and Real Madrid. Benitez moved me into midfield, and in that role I scored those two goals in a few days.”

Andrea Dossena’s tenure was for one year SunderlandBut he is not entirely happy with his time there.

The transfer of the Stadium of Light to Italy took place in 2013. This happened just after the former defender performed well at Napoli, helping them return to the Champions League and also win the Coppa Italia.

Dossena’s tenure at Sunderland ended with him playing only seven Premier League games, including three FA Cup appearances. At one point, he also played for the U21s team.

Description of toxic environment

Dosena said this transfer market In a detailed interview and looks at many aspects of his playing career.

Although he spoke enthusiastically about Liverpool, this was not the case for Sunderland. He gave details about the dressing room atmosphere and training at that time.

He said: “Oh my God. Some players would come to training smelling of last night’s alcohol. I didn’t have a good relationship with my coach. [Gus] Poet.”

Dossena also reveals how Paolo Di Canio moved and the shortcomings of the poet’s methods. Sunderland’s instability held them back.

“When I arrived, Di Canio was there. He sent me to Rome to get treatment for the injury, and when I came back to England I couldn’t find him. They had argued during a meeting and Poet had come in his place. I remember they never let us watch the match again to analyze it.

Sunderland symbolized Dossena’s downfall

By the end of his time at Napoli, Dossena had become a minor player. He was loaned to Palermo but things did not work out there either.

Sunderland’s spell defined Dossena’s fall from grace. As well as the club’s problems, the former Italy international was never seen as an important player.

That’s why his stay only lasted one season and after that he ended up at League One side Leyton Orient. Even there, he was not a regular.

of leeds united The long-running pursuit of Hidemasa Morita is now moving towards a concrete result, with the midfielder’s position strongly pointing towards a summer move – provided one key condition is met.

The Sporting CP player is on Leeds’ radar for 2025. At the time, the club had assessed a deal but backed out. The fee, estimated at around €10 million (£8.7 million), and concerns over fitness made the move difficult to justify.

Twelve months later, the same deal looks very different. Morita is now approaching the end of his contract and is expected to Skip to free transfer.

As we recently coveredSports fans are pleading for him to stop. His form has improved, his availability has been more consistent and he has become one of their most important players this season.

However, what has changed most is the level of clarity around the move.

Now move forward gathering real speed

As reported by Portuguese outlet to ballHidemasa Morita’s departure from Sporting is considered almost certain, with the midfielder having already decided not to renew his contract. “Leeds road tolls continue to decline”His latest piece says.

More importantly, the Japan international has made it clear that he wants to play in the Premier League and, importantly, that it is a condition rather than a priority.

He has indicated that he is only Interested in moving to England’s top flightShaping the entire conversation around that need.

Leeds are currently in a strong position to secure it, and that fixture strengthens their hand. Instead, the rest of the deal aligns naturally.

The club has maintained interest in it since last summer and it is again being ranked as the most likely destination. Contrary to previous reports, the move is now described as very advanced, suggesting that discussions have moved beyond simple surveillance.

Farc effect and strategic fit

Another important development is the role of Daniel Farke in this process.

The Leeds United manager is understood to be a driving force behind the interest. His intention to create a more possession-based midfield has influenced recruitment thinking, and Morita is seen as a player who fits that profile.

His ability to operate as both a No. 6 and No. 8 adds to that appeal. Although he is not a high-output player in terms of goals, his strengths lie in positional play, control and balance.

The scenario now is a free transfer, a player eager to make the move, a manager who wants him, and a club that is already familiar with his profile.

So the deal that Leeds once walked away from now looks like they are ready to complete.
