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

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

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

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

Building interest across Europe

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

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

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

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

Sporting clause and rising valuation

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

napoli wants a new striker

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

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

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

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

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

Listen to Manchester United offer

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

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

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

Galatasaray are plotting an ambitious move liverpool Captain Virgil van Dijk and his €11m per year salary will be on par.

Fotomaç reports that The Turkish side are waiting for the green light before making an official move for the Liverpool defender.

Galatasaray targets Liverpool captain

Fotomac reported that Galatasaray have already started their transfer preparations for next season. The plan is to strengthen their defence, and Virgil van Dijk is the star name they want.

The Liverpool centre-back would be a replacement for one of the two current options, Davinson Sanchez and Abdulkerim Bardaki.

The 34-year-old is a dream signing for President Dersun Ozbek, and there is belief a deal can be done. Van Dijk has one year left on his deal at Anfield and will consider his options if he risks losing his place in Arne Slott’s team next season.

The Dutchman is more than aware that he now faces the ‘last important contract’ of his career. Galatasaray plan to contact him soon and president Dursun Ozbek will be ‘closely involved’ in the process.

The feeling in Turkey is that Van Dijk is ready to play for Galatasaray. He has faced them in the Champions League this season and impressed.

He currently earns €11m per year at Liverpool after taxes. Galatasaray are ready to match him to lure him to the Super Lig next season. If the 34-year-old gives the go-ahead, action will be taken ‘immediately’ at the end of the season.

turkish optimism

Now, here at Sport Witness, we would urge caution. It’s a classic in the genre of Turkish optimism with one of their clubs signing a major European star.

In a summer where Liverpool are losing Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, while Alisson could also leave, it would be a big decision to let Virgil van Dijk go as well.

The whole idea is also based on the theory that Van Dijk could lose his place next season. Even at 34, this is not possible unless massive changes occur.

This does not mean that it is not possible by any means. But we would urge caution for now about any such transfers actually happening.

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

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

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

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

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

Chelsea star signing complicated

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: The Spaniard should stay at Chelsea

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

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

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

Aston Villa On his agenda for the summer is Udinese’s Thomas Christensen.

The centre-back joined the Serie A team from Danish club AGF in September 2023 and has been a regular since then.

His performances have attracted the attention of Premier League teams including Aston Villa.

On 1 April, Khel Sakshi Covered claims from Italy There was interest from the Villans, Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest last summer. Juventus and AC Milan have now joined the chase.

Therefore, Udinese are pushing to renew the Denmark international’s contract. At the moment, he has not committed his long-term future to the Italian club.

Aston Villa chasing defender

Meanwhile, Unai Emery’s side have secured the return of the 24-year-old.

is according to TuttoMercatoWebAnd their headline states that Aston Villa are ‘interested’ ahead of the summer.

AC Milan have watched Thomas Christensen repeatedly recently, and a number of Premier League sides are keeping a close eye. Only Aston Villa is directly mentioned.

Thomas Christensen’s contract expires in 2028, and the next window could be his last big chance to earn a good fee. Therefore, Udinese are considering the possibility of his departure and have set a price tag of €25m. This may not be an issue for the Villa Park club.

Defender aims to join Europe-qualifying club

Thomas Christensen recently told campo The Italian club had offered a renewal. He has not made a final decision yet as he aims to join a European club.

“Yes, I can confirm that [Udinese wants to extend]. This is not the first time this has happened. He came already after one and a half year. He said.

“The situation is that when I came our plan was that I would play for a period, so that I can make the jump from there again. So, it is clear that it is in our plan that the step forward should be made.

“When that happens, we’ll have to see. But yes, there have been some contract extension talks and some offers, yes.

“In the short term, it’s quite likely that the next step will be to a bigger club, perhaps playing in Europe. I wouldn’t rule it out.”

“Things are open, so it’s hard to say, but in any case, moving to a bigger club is obviously the move I see myself taking.”

Aston Villa fits the bill

The Udinese star’s desire to join a club playing in the UEFA competition would come as a boost for the Premier League side.

Aston Villa are fifth in the table, six points ahead of sixth-placed AFC Bournemouth, and in a comfortable position to qualify for the Champions League.

In short, the defender can accomplish his goal if he joins the Villans after this season. He has made 28 appearances this season transfer market He is worth €12 million.

armory, chelsea, Manchester City And Manchester United Ajax star Mika Godts is unlikely to face competition from Barcelona this summer.

Journalist Matteo Morato reports that the Catalan giants have no interest in the 20-year-old, despite reports to the contrary. Voetbal Primeur reported his comments today.

Premier League interest

Mika Godes is set to receive a big-money move this summer after establishing himself as a rising star in Europe at Ajax this season.

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

The Premier League is already making the rounds. Sport Witness covered a report stating that Arsenal and Chelsea have already sent scouts. Manchester City and Manchester United are also in the mix. However, fans have been urged to avoid heading to the Etihad.

A report from the Netherlands has also included Barcelona in the mix. But, speaking to Radio Marca, Matteo Moretto insisted that is not the case.

“I’ll tell you something else, Ajax winger Mika Godts’ name has come up often,” he said. Brand radio program La Pizarra de Quintana.

“He is very good, very talented, and has already been offered to Barça several times. Barcelona do not want to pursue this option at the moment.

“They’re not interested. They prefer a more experienced, winning profile.”

Where next for Mika Godts?

It appears that Barcelona are not keen, with Mika Godts having to make an interesting decision regarding his future this summer.

If bigger clubs come calling, is he out of Ajax at that point? Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all have the money to give Ajax what they want. And also give a big contract to the young player.

But the question is whether either side would be best for his future. After all, he has benefited from regular playing time at Ajax and experience in the Eredivisie and Europe. It will be a completely different story in the Premier League.

The growing feeling in the Netherlands is that it should look for an intermediate step. It remains to be seen whether he heeds that advice amid a potentially busy summer.

bournemouth AS Roma are showing interest in defender Ivan Ndika ahead of the summer transfer window.

225 foot report special information The 26-year-old reports today that Bournemouth’s scouts have made the defender one of their summer priorities.

bournemouth scheme

The website reports that Bournemouth are already planning for next season under new manager Marco Rose. With a potential European campaign on the way, they are looking to strengthen it.

According to 225ft, Ivan Nadika’s profile has caught their attention. His combination of physical strength and international experience ‘has become a priority’ for the Premier League club’s scouts.

At present no offer has been made to Roma. But after impressing for Roma, Ndika has gained a lot of respect at the club.

He joined the Italian team on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 and has since established himself as a key player at the club. He is now rated at €35 million, and this summer could be crucial as he enters the final two years of his deal.

There are also growing concerns at Roma that they need to sell this summer. The Serie A team is under pressure from UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules. They need to raise cash from sales this summer.

€40m asking price

Ivan Nadika is one of those people who has lovers all over Europe. And the Giallorossi would not rule out a departure if a concrete offer were made. Roma would like Earn at least €40m from any sale.

Whether this is a figure Bournemouth would be willing to pay has not been made clear. But they will need a replacement for Marcos Senesi this summer as he is set to depart on a free transfer.

The Argentine is a key player in their defense so there will be a need to spend money on a long-term replacement. Ndika could be that player, and it appears he is on the list after impressing Cherries scouts.

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

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

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

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

His Serie A statistics this season are as follows:

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

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

Manchester United and Liverpool in the mix

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

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

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

Growing transfer interest

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

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

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

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

manchester city advice

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is now pushing for a sale

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

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

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

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

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

An environment of competition is being created across Europe

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

Has emerged as an option for Barcelona chelseaMark Cucurella after this season.

The left-back is a product of Barcelona’s academy, but he has not received regular opportunities to prove his worth with their first team.

After spells at Eibar and Getafe, he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion in 2021 and then Chelsea a year later.

After overcoming early difficulties, the left-back has been a regular for the Blues, and has made 158 appearances.

His Premier League statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 30
• Start: 27
• Total minutes: 2,350
• Minutes per game: 78
• Interceptions per game: 1.0
• Tackles per game: 1.6
• Recoveries per game: 3.3
• Clearances per game: 2.9
• Blocked shots per game: 0.3
• Duels won per game: 3.5

On Tuesday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain That Barcelona want to sign the 27-year-old. The same source said the La Liga side have talked about the Chelsea star within the club.

No contact with Chelsea player

Mark Cucurella would welcome a move to Barcelona, ​​and it’s on the front page of today’s edition sports world.

In the report, the newspaper say the Spain international has ‘opened the door’ to joining the La Liga winners.

Add World: ‘For him, a return to Barça would be a personal dream, a special motivation to return to the club of his life as a more mature player.’

During the last international break, the Spanish media asked him about the possibility of returning to Camp Nou.

At that time he said: “It would be hard to turn it down. I have to think about my family. If it happens, it happens, and we’ll see what decision is made.”

While the defender opens the door, Barcelona sporting director Deco has not yet spoken with his agent.

In addition, the situation at Stamford Bridge is another reason why the 27-year-old player is willing to join Barcelona.

The Blues parted ways with Enzo Maresca in January and appointed Liam Rosenior as his successor. Earlier this month, the Club World Cup winners sacked the latter after a string of poor performances.

Chelsea now sit eighth in the table, two points behind sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion and 10 points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa. He is likely to miss the Champions League.

Cucurella could consider leaving the west London club if there is an attractive offer and the Blues would also be open to a sale for around €50m.

It is unclear whether Barca are willing to pay this, even though his wages should not be an issue. At the moment, he is not a priority as Deco is focusing on improving other positions. The Catalan club could consider the Spaniard if there are significant sales in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

Mark Cucurella’s contract expires in 2028 and is worth €50m transfer market.

The Blues fullback is being managed by agents Alex Pick and Alvaro Dominguez.

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

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

Juventus plan to exit

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

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

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

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

Everton hope for arrivals

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

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

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

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

southampton Midfielder Casper Zander is a target for VfB Stuttgart in the summer, but only if they can secure a sale first.

BILD reports that the 23-year-old is on Stuttgart’s listBut they need to sell someone before making a move for the midfielder.

Casper Zander has been earning praise for his performances with Southampton this season.

impress in southampton

He joined the Saints from 1.FC Nürnberg last summer in a €12m deal and has been a mainstay of the team since. He has particularly impressed as Southampton have flourished under Tonda Eckert.

The recent defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final was another demonstration of his talent and it appears clubs are noticing.

BILD report that it is ‘quite possible’ that the midfielder will play in Germany again next season. He is ‘particularly sought after’ by VfB Stuttgart.

But the problem for them is his €25m asking price. This is a figure that the German side can only afford if VfB sells a midfielder first. The newspaper does not speculate who he might be.

sale required

The obvious candidate would be Angelo Stiller. He is a rising star in Germany and has fans, Like Manchester United. He is also rated at €45m, which should provide Xander with funds to pursue further advances.

The Southampton star is currently valued at €12m. But BILD believes they would want at least double that to approve the sale.

However any consideration will of course depend on what division they are playing in. With promotion to the Premier League looming, it is highly unlikely that Southampton are considering selling Zander at this time.

Still, it seems they want a hefty fee to do so. A fee that Stuttgart, at the moment, cannot afford unless they first secure a major sale of their own.

liverpool There’s fresh reason to believe Alisson Becker’s long-term future won’t be decided any time soon, including interest juventus A pause and Brazilian reports point to a further homecoming.

The Reds’ number 1 remains under contract until June 2027. However, his name has resurfaced in the transfer market. As we recently coveredItalian newspapers claimed that Juventus’ interest lies in one problem – the goalkeeper’s salary.

The Turin club considers Alisson’s salary to be too high. As long as there are no notable deficiencies, they are ready to move on to other goals. This effectively chills any immediate prospects of a deal.

juventus were also €15m (£13m) linked with offer. Yet the financial package around the player appears to be the real stumbling block. From Liverpool’s point of view, this relieves short-term pressure.

Long-term planning emerging in Brazil

Looking ahead, Alison’s situation takes a different turn. brazilian journalist lucas dias It is reported that his former club, Internazionale, are already monitoring the development with a view to the future.

As relayed bolavipThe Brazilian team is working on a possible return of the goalkeeper after 2027, when his Liverpool contract expires. Internally, there is a belief that a structured project can bring him back to a higher level.

This is not just wishful thinking. Alison has previously spoke about his desire to return to Brazil And end his career at the club that developed him.

Any interim steps through FIFA’s solidarity mechanism would also benefit Internationals financially. However, their real focus appears to be on a long-term reunion.

what happens next

For Liverpool, the picture is relatively clear. Juventus’ interest does not jeopardize his position at the moment, mainly due to financial constraints.

An even bigger question is at stake. If Alisson terminates his contract, the club will ultimately face a decision on succession planning.

Additionally, the growing international interest adds another layer to the story. The idea of ​​withdrawal is gaining structure rather than remaining purely emotional.

In short, Liverpool are in control today. But the story around Alisson Becker is slowly shifting towards what’s to come after Anfield, not just what happens this summer.

As Issa Doumbia of Venezia continues to grow, celtic Be on the lookout for a midfielder.

In January, sports witness Covered hoops interest in Italian. They were pursuing Doumbia throughout the campaign and, at the time, were facing competition from Udinese, Cremonese and Southampton.

The Saints actually made a formal approach for the talent in the summer of 2025. This step was taken too late and played a role in the deal never being completed.

Since then, Doumbia has become one of the most sought-after players in Serie B. He has scored seven league goals this season, assisting five times, playing a big role in keeping Venezia top of the table.

Just one step away from promotion to Serie A, Celtic are still interested in Doumbia.

Other clubs are joining the race

Gazzetta dello Sport today described the 22-year-old as Venezia’s treasure. They only paid €1m to sign him from AlbinoLeffe in 2024 and he is now worth as much as €15m.

This view is shared by manager Giovanni Stroppa, who watched Doumbia score a crucial goal in their win over Empoli at the weekend.

The report suggests that Celtic and Southampton have now joined a number of other clubs in the hunt for talent. Club Brugge and Espanyol are also keen.

Major Serie A sides are now monitoring his development, and Portuguese giants Sporting are also keeping an eye on him.

Venezia have not yet decided on their future. Promotion to the top level brings with it plenty of challenges but sales can reduce the amount of money clubs have on offer.

Our opinion: Celtic’s task is getting tougher

With each passing week, the queue of suitors for the Italy U21s player continues to grow. This is no surprise but it has turned out to be a problem for Celtic.

The Hoops may have to pay a record fee for Issa Doumbia. The major Italian clubs, Sporting and even Club Brugge can attract the attention of European football and more people.

Doumbia’s team at StarAssist is more active in Italy and France.

wolverhampton wanderers Facing a crucial decision on Joao Gomes this summer, the latest reports from Brazil now suggest a clearer direction on his future.

The 25-year-old midfielder has already been part of discussions regarding a potential sale, especially napoli link.

This context has become even more relevant following Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League and plans to rebuild the team. As we covered recently, Gomes is part of List of players available for sale.

Now, according to RTI gameThere is a new development from Spain. Atletico Madrid have changed their transfer strategy and have made Joao Gomes a priority target.

Atletico Madrid changed direction

The Brazilian outlet reports that Atletico were in advanced talks for Atalanta’s Ederson. However, those talks stopped. As a result, Diego Simeone’s side increasingly turned to Joao Gomes.

Internally, the midfielder is seen as an ideal fit for Atlético’s style. His intensity, defensive output and work rate have all been highlighted as key qualities. Those qualities match closely with what Simeon typically demands.

This change in focus puts Wolves in a familiar position. Interest in Joao Gomes is growing, and this now looks like a more concrete move to a club at Champions League level.

Price set as Wolves prepare for change

Joao Gomes remains under contract until June 2028. This gives Wolves firm control of the situation.

However, the club is open for sale. Reports from the Brazilian indicate that they want around £40 million (€46 million) for him to leave. This is contradictory Italy’s claim It was valued at €70m (£60m).

Of course, Wolves are entering a period of restructuring after relegation. Selling key assets is part of that plan, and Joao Gomes is one of their most valuable players.

There is also a clear financial benefit. As mentioned earlierWolves signed him from Flamengo in January 2023 for around €18.7m (£16.2m), which could potentially rise to €20m (£17.4m). A sale of £40 million would represent a strong profit.

what happens next

Joao Gomes is now at the center of Wolves’ summer plans. The interest from Atletico Madrid looks serious, especially after their change in tactics. Meanwhile, the wolves have already set their price and appear ready to listen.

As we’ve been following closely, Napoli are also in the picture together Manchester United And crystal Palace.

The next step will likely depend on whether Atletico meets that valuation. If they do, Wolves may see it as the right time to sell and accelerate their rebuild.

From the English club’s perspective, this is less about replacing a player and more about reshaping the team. Joao Gomes could be one of those deals that defines their summer.

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

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

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

Standout performers on Arsenal radar

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

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

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

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

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

Familiar faces and unlikely targets

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

chelsea’s Giovanni Quenda’s plans focus mainly on growth, recovery and long-term integration. However, not everyone in Portugal is on board with the idea that Stamford Bridge is the right next step.

The 18-year-old has just returned to action for Sporting after being out for almost four months fractured fifth metatarsal. Chelsea oversaw his recovery in Londonprepared him physically and essentially Started preparing him for Premier League life Before he officially arrived.

Now he’s back, fit, sharp to press for minutes in decisive matches. Naturally, the focus is again turning to what happens next.

And in Portugal some people have very raised eyebrows.

Concerns increased in Portugal after withdrawal

called out in an opinion article “Don’t lose yourself, Kwenda.” published by to ballExecutive editor Fernando Urbano does not hold back in his assessment of Quenda’s move to Chelsea.

He starts off with praise, making it clear what kind of talent we’re dealing with.

“Players like Giovani Kwenda are becoming rare. He is courageous, he takes on defenders and embraces one-on-ones in a way that is increasingly uncommon.”

Then comes the twist.

“I fear that the decision to go to Chelsea could be a very bad choice. For him and, as a consequence, for the national team.”

Urbano outlined the context of Cuenda’s recent months at Sporting, before his arrival at Chelsea.

The winger was a key part of the club’s title-winning campaign last season. However, this year has been more complicated. The injury kept him out for almost four months and Sporting missed him.

There were also moments when Jenny Katamo took advantage of the situation and dropped Kwenda from the starting eleven.

Even now, there are signs that the player is still working to get back to full intensity. Urbano points to the recent match at Dragao, where the winger’s lack of explosiveness was noticeable after a long layoff.

At the same time, Portuguese journalists highlight a major strength in Quenda’s profile. Under both Rubén Amorim and Rui Borges, he developed strong defensive awareness, playing as a wing-back in a 3–4–3 system. That tactical background could prove valuable in England.

Chelsea’s criticism deepens

The logic behind the concern is not new, but it is clearly stated.

“For many years now, the London club has been run like a computer game, where money is plentiful and standards are scarce.”

Urbano also expands on that idea by pointing to the widespread Bleuco model, where players are often moved between clubs like Strasbourg without clear long-term direction.

There is also a widespread perception that Chelsea lack stability at the moment.

“It is in this context, close to anarchy, that Kwenda will come,” he writes, describing a club he sees as having an identity crisis.

According to Urbano, the current situation has reminded fans of the Roman Abramovich era, when the club felt more structured and decisive.

A ‘lottery’ with high ceilings

Giovanni Quenda’s condition has been described as precarious rather than catastrophic, but there is no sugar coating this.

“When the season starts, there may be 30 to 40 players reporting to Stamford Bridge, and there will be at least four or five players competing for his place.”

“It will be a lottery for Kwenda,” Urbano says. At the same time, there is a clear acknowledgment of the reversal, almost as a warning and a compliment.

“But if he comes out on top, it will be a testament to life – being successful in that environment will mean he can be successful anywhere.”

In other words, survive Chelsea and you can survive anything.

Context remains important for Chelsea

Giovani Quenda would not be arriving at Chelsea under normal circumstances. The club invested approximately £43.5 million (€50 million+), took control of his recovery, and have already begun to prepare him physically and mentally for what is to come.

This is the club version of the story. The tone from Portugal is more cautious. There is praise for the player, but there is a lot of doubt about the environment in which he is stepping.

For now, Kwenda’s job is simple. Get minutes, regain full intensity and finish the season strong with Sporting.

Very little can be predicted as to what will happen next. And if Urbano is right, it may depend as much on the chaos around him as on his own talent.

Pervis Estupian’s struggles at AC Milan continue to grow and the idea of ​​a tottenham Transfer is very much under consideration.

sports witness It previously covered the London club’s interest in the defender, who joined from Brighton last summer. There was excitement over a deal but instead, Davide Bartesaghi has become the first-choice left-back.

This was also evident during Milan’s 0-0 draw against Juventus. Most of the Italian media expected Estupinan to start, but it was the young player who got the nod.

The Ecuadorian came on at half-time but couldn’t really make an impact.

Roberto De Zerbi wants to reunite with Estupinan at Tottenham.

Hope is fading for the defender

milanlive It is also expected that the South American will start against the Old Ladies on Sunday. He made it clear in a report over the weekend, surprised that Estupinon would be given priority over Bartesaghi.

The outlet says that despite scoring a big goal against Inter a few weeks ago, Estupinon is likely to leave Milan in the summer.

Manager Max Allegri appears to disagree and is happy to be on the sidelines. ‘De Zerbi is believed to be ready for that’ for Tottenham, with the left-back seen in a more attacking role at Brighton.

Milan are unlikely to oppose his exit and would only need a small capital gain to sell him. He paid a base fee to Brighton €17 million last summer and Spurs could have brought him to England for any price anywhere near that.

Our opinion: Tottenham may have a dilemma

The British press have already talked about Spurs’ interest in Andy Robertson. The Scotsman could arrive as a free agent, especially if the London club remains in the Premier League.

Estupinan is young and can potentially offer more than the Liverpool player. But he is not a free agent and may also attract more clubs in the summer.

That’s why Tottenham will face a dilemma at the end of the season.

De Zerbi has always been a demanding manager and it will be interesting to see if he puts pressure on him to sign his former player.

Over the past few months, Francisco Conceicao has been linked with a move to Juventus liverpool. The winger’s brother has now spoken openly about his future.

The Portugal international has performed brilliantly this season. He performed well against AC Milan on Sunday, even though Juve could not find the back of the net.

So far this campaign, he has contributed to eight goals in all competitions, the last time he scored in February.

Despite this, the conversation about Liverpool continues to persist. in March, sports witness Covered information that the Reds made first contact considering him as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Now, the attacker’s brother has spoken out about the 23-year-old’s future.

The player wants to take the next step

Francisco Conceição’s brother – Sergio Conceição Jr., plays for AEL Limassol in Cyprus. he talked tuttosport About his own career, his younger siblings and how things are going for him at the Old Lady.

He explained that young Conceicao is winning over Juve manager Luciano Spalletti and wants to take the next step.

“They have a very good relationship, Spalletti has shown great confidence in Chico. He also feels a sense of responsibility.”

Making it clear that the winger wants to take the next step, he said: “He’s fine, he’s happy, and now he wants to take the final, decisive step in his development.“

He immediately rejected the idea of ​​exit, saying,I think they can compete for the title next year. Juve must always fight for the highest level, and with Spalletti they are starting from an excellent foundation.

Furthermore, Conceição was also indirectly asked if his brother could potentially leave Juve for a club like Liverpool.

He replied firmly: “Of course, he has a contract, right?“

Our Opinion: The deal would be a big gamble

Francisco Conceição has shown his potential in Turin, he is always eager to take on defenders, beat them and has a good work ethic.

However many times his last ball is missed. This also became clear against Milan on Sunday. He created some chances but missed when he could have contributed to the goals.

This inconsistency has been a problem for him throughout the campaign.

Liverpool should ideally look at someone more consistent. Conceicao can’t fire straight into Merseyside and will likely take some time to settle.

newcastle united And Aston Villa Sporting have joined the pursuit of Maxi Araujo, a source has informed Sport Witness.

On March 22, we revealed Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have made initial links over a move for the left-back.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa are the latest clubs to join the race to sign Araújo.

He joined the Lions from Mexican side Deportivo Toluca when Manchester City’s Hugo Viana was in charge of the transfer to Sporting.

The Uruguay international operated primarily as a left wing-back, scoring 10 goals and 12 assists in 88 appearances. His performances have already attracted the attention of the Premier League.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also keen

After we revealed interest from Spurs and the Blues in March, there have been some claims from the Portuguese side on Maxi Araújo. Last week, we broadcast news A potential battle between the two Manchester clubs for the 26-year-old player.

Now a source has given information sports witness Eight Premier League teams are following the South American.

This includes the Magpies, United Emery’s side, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City. Hugo Viana knows both the player and his club well because he brought him from Mexico. Additionally, some unnamed Spanish clubs are also in the picture.

The Sporting star has a release clause of €80m in his contract, while the Primeira Liga side are willing to sell him for even less in the summer. The same source reveals that the Lions want around €45-50 million and no less.

For now, it is unclear whether Newcastle United, Aston Villa or any other club are willing to offer that price for Araújo, who can operate as a left-back and winger.

It seems that the player has not yet made any decision about his future and is focusing on the Sporting season and the World Cup with Uruguay.

Contract, price and agent information

Maxi Araújo’s contract at Sporting expires in 2029 and his value, according to transfer marketIs €25m.

Uruguayan agency GBG Global Business Group, owned by agents Martín Rodríguez Nader, Pablo Bocelli and Rodrigo López Pezzatti, is representing the player.

Nicolo Fagioli has been a shining light in a dark season for Fiorentina tottenham Interest in the midfielder has now emerged.

The first few months of the season were not good for Fiorentina. They found themselves in the bottom three and struggled to find any momentum.

That’s when Fagioli played a big role in pulling them up the table by maintaining his presence in deep midfield. In recent weeks, he has impressed even more and at the weekend against Sassuolo he was the best player on the pitch.

sports witness It previously covered English interest in the former Juventus player, who was controversially left out of the Italian national team last month.

This has not stopped his reputation from growing further. Tottenham are looming as a threat for a player whose future is under constant discussion.

suitors warned

corriere dello sport Note that Fagioli has been exceptional for Paolo Vanoli’s side over the last three months. He makes it clear that his talent was always on the cards, even at Juve, who loaned him to Fiorentina in January 2025 before a permanent sale last summer.

This is beneficial for La Viola, who have seen the Italian become one of the most sought-after midfielders in Serie A.

Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are also interested. Max Allegri managed him in Turin and appears keen on a reunion.

But the report issues a ‘hands-off’ warning to clubs. Fabio Paratici is a big fan of Fagioli and wants to start an ambitious project from next season.

That’s why Fagioli will be central to the Fiorentina squad, which will undergo other changes in the summer.

We believe: Tottenham will have a chance

The report is good for publicizing Fiorentina’s ambitions. However, this seems to be another attempt to paint Paratici’s views in a brighter light, as the club needs little else to remain in Serie A.

As a result, Tottenham should keep an eye on the 25-year-old. He is a complete midfielder who is capable of playing in a variety of roles. That’s why Luciano Spalletti, during his tenure as Italy manager, called them up for the European Championships in 2024.

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester City transfer possibility

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contracts, stats and prices

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

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

Tottenham Hotspur Manor Solomon was loaned to Fiorentina in January. This was his second stint away from the club in the campaign and his future is unknown.

The Israeli winger has already had his ups and downs in Florence.

He was absent for almost a month due to a thigh injury but has already scored two goals for Fiorentina. This played a big role in turning their season around and taking them away from the relegation battle.

The Italian side have the option to buy him permanently and the same is true for Jack Harrison. sports witness It covers how a deal for the Tottenham player looks increasingly likely, with the 26-year-old impressing on a more consistent basis.

Solomon himself has now spoken about his future.

No certainty about transfer

Manor Solomon was involved in Fiorentina’s goalless draw against Sassuolo at the weekend. He spoke to DAZN about his situation, focusing specifically on whether he intends to stay in Florence after the current campaign.

He explained that he is enjoying his stay at Fiorentina but is unsure about a permanent transfer.

Solomon said- via alfredo pedulla: : “I don’t know yet if I’ll stay or not, but I’ve really enjoyed my time here in Florence. I’ve enjoyed both the environment and the people, and I want to give my all until the end of the season.”

In addition to making his appreciation clear, Solomon revealed that there would be talks with LaViola once the season ends.

“At the end of the season, we will talk to the club and decide what to do.”

Our opinion: Tottenham should accept discount

The last few months have shown that Solomon can make an impact at Fiorentina. It would not be a surprise if he contributes more goals before the end of the season, which would further reassure the Florence club.

However, it is very likely that Fabio Paratici’s club will ask for a waiver. Italian clubs usually do this and Fiorentina lack the resources due to stadium construction issues.

Despite Tottenham never making the winger part of their main plans, they signed him for free. Solomon has a buy option in the current deal The €10 million plus rebates on top of that will also be deducted as capital gains for Spurs.

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

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

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

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

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

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

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

Manchester City’s concern for Verona

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

The Gunners now top the table, three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

The Premier League team is also in the race to win the Champions League. They will face Atletico Madrid in the European semi-finals.

The first leg will take place in Madrid on Wednesday. Before this clash, Monday’s edition As Has published an interview with Cristian Mosquera.

Arsenal not under pressure

The newspaper asked the 21-year-old about the team’s morale as the pressure mounts after a ‘complex few weeks’.

While reacting to that, Cristian Mosquera sends a message to his Arsenal teammates.

“Well, despite the noise that has been going on outside and that is continuing, inside the dressing room we are calm and confident that our work will bring the reward we want.” He said.

“It’s time to step up and show that character. Look at these upcoming matches with the best possible approach. That’s how we’ll tackle them.”

When asked if there was ‘a lot of nervousness or tension’ at Arsenal, Mosquera explained: “I don’t think so. Many things are said from the outside until they seem true, but they are not.”

“You hear the word ‘pressure’ a lot, but it’s not pressure at all. As the manager says, this really is an opportunity we want to make history with this club, and we’re taking it with the belief that we can seize it.”

Spain international reveals Atletico approach

Cristian Mosquera graduated from Valencia’s youth system. He spent four years with their first team and left them for Arsenal in July 2025. Atletico Madrid had tried to sign him a year before that.

AS asked him about these links, and he said: “It’s true that there were some rumors.”

“My agent handles everything related to my future, and unless there is something very concrete, I tell him not to tell me anything, so he is the one managing it. But it is true that there was some contact with Atlético.”

• V Crystal Palace [away] on 24th may

west ham united Also on their transfer agenda for the summer is AC Milan’s Youssef Fofana.

West Ham could bring the midfielder to the Premier League but he will face a battle, especially from France.

Fofana spent four years at AS Monaco and left them for the Serie A team in August 2024. Since moving to San Siro, the Frenchman has made 84 appearances for the Rossoneri on a regular basis.

This includes 32 matches this season, where he scored two goals and four assists.

His Serie A statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 25

• Possession won (final third): 0.5
• Recovered balls per game: 2.7
• Clearance per game: 0.6
• Duels won per game: 2.6

West Ham in the mix for Fofana

The 27-year-old has been a regular under Massimiliano Allegri, but AC Milan could move him in the summer.

is according to tuttosportwho covered West Ham United’s interest in Youssouf Fofana in a report focusing on the Italian club’s potential transfer business.

Milan intend to put him on the market as they need to balance their books. He is likely to be sold, especially if Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka arrives on a free transfer.

Fofana has already rejected Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in the winter market and is still not considering a move to Turkey.

The Premier League could be an option where ‘West Ham’ in particular are keen. In fact, the Hammers have been chasing him for the last few years.

He also has the option of returning to Ligue 1, where many of his fans may make an offer in the next window.

Former Milan manager Paulo Fonseca valued Fofana at San Siro and could attempt to sign him for his current club, Lyon. Marseille would also be involved in signing him. Milan, for their part, have already set a €30m price tag.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have to contend with Ligue 1 sides to obtain the player’s signature. Two days ago, Sports Witness broadcast news That the agents of Milan midfielder Younes Musah are trying to take him to West Ham.

Our opinion: PL remains key for West Ham

The London club are now 17th in the table, two points ahead of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

West Ham United must remain in the Premier League to secure the services of Youssouf Fofana.

His contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is worth €28 million, and agency Elite 19 Sports Management is representing the player.

liverpool Attempted to sign Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan in January. All hope may not be lost for the Reds, as the wing-back is pushing for a move to England.

The Dutchman missed several games due to injury at the beginning of this season.

Then Liverpool came forward for him. sports witness This approach was covered, with Inter CEO Beppe Marotta also speaking publicly about the move.

A deal never materialized, probably because Inter could not find a replacement in time.

Some of the background surrounding Dumfries is now emerging and it seems those around him are pushing for a Premier League transfer.

Dumfries has a dream of England

IT migration market A deeper dive into the 29-year-old’s situation makes it clear the Dumfries father was unhappy with his move to Liverpool.

Since the Nerazzurri wing-back left Wasserman, it is his father Boris who is his sole agent. And since then, he has been trying to help his son get his ‘dream move’ to England.

He has also instructed the agents and middlemen to achieve that goal.

Jorge Mendes and Ali Barrat are also in the works and they tried to keep him in the Premier League in January. This brought Liverpool forward and there is every possibility that something will happen in the summer too.

Despite this, Inter is sleeping deeply. They will not regret losing him and will even accept it Selling him for €20m, while his release clause is €25m.

This should give hope to the Reds, who could be contacted again in the summer.

Our opinion: Liverpool probably don’t need Dumfries

The Netherlands international has performed really well since his return from injury. He scored two goals in the league game against Como, giving Inter a shot at the title.

However, that doesn’t mean he would be ideal for Liverpool. He is like a wing-back who focuses on making runs in the final third.

The Reds need a right-back but Dumfries have defensive weaknesses. Any deal for him would be cheap but tactically, he has a number of areas that need attention. This is why there may be better and younger options on the market in favor of Arne Slott.

Sunderland Added Nilsson Angulo and Jocelyn Ta B to their team to improve their attack in the winter market.

Before Angulo’s arrival at the Stadium of Light from Anderlecht, Sunderland looked at CA Osasuna’s Victor Munoz.

In fact, the Black Cats made several bids to convince the La Liga side to approve the sale of the left winger.

The Premier League side initially offered €20m and increased this to €25m, along with Eliezer Mayenda on loan.

14 February, Osasuna Sports director Braulio Vazquez said His side did not listen to Sunderland’s attempts to sign Munoz. At the end of that month, official disclosure The player also did not want to leave Osasuna for Regis Le Bris’s team in January.

Sunderland still look keen

Friday edition of As Pointing again to Sunderland’s €25m offer which clearly failed to convince CA Osasuna.

The Black Cats couldn’t match his €40m release clause, but it looks like they’re not ready to give up just yet.

That’s because the newspaper says a number of Premier League teams are keeping an eye on him and Sunderland have been mentioned.

It has been claimed that Regis Le Bris’ side are the latest club to show interest in Victor Munoz, indicating that they have revived their interest.

Either way, the English club still need to offer €40m to activate his clause, and without that there will be no deal.

Osasuna sporting director Braulio Vazquez again made it abundantly clear and AS released his comments.

“We are not listening, we are stuck on the stream,” He said.

Real Madrid buyback clause

The La Liga side signed Victor Munoz from Real Madrid for €8m in July 2025. Los Blancos retained the buyback option and 50% sell-on clause.

“Real Madrid have a three-year buy-back option that has already been agreed. What we are doing is enjoying Victor until the end of the season.” Vazquez explained.

“Many people criticized us for signing such a young player with so few minutes in La Liga. Now they are asking us why we didn’t buy him outright. We accepted the conditions set by Real Madrid. Victor made the right decision by coming here and so did we.”

Our view: Sunderland need €40m to sign

Osasuna will not consider any offer less than €40m for Victor Munoz.

Therefore, the Black Cats have no option but to pay the figure and convince him to secure his services.

The attacker scored six goals and five assists in 34 appearances this season.

chelsea And wolves Both are moving into the youth market with similar intentions, even if their short-term realities look very different.

Chelsea have continued to build aggressively for the future under the Bleuco structure. The club has made a habit of identifying players early and placing them in their multi-club system.

Wolves, on the other hand, are preparing for life in the Championship after confirming relegation. That change is expected to trigger a comprehensive squad reset. Young, high-growth players could become a key part of that rebuild, especially if they come with low initial costs and long development timelines.

As part of the shared focus on youth, a new name has started circulating.

Teenage striker is now on the radar

Zebedee Kennedy has emerged as a player both clubs are keeping an eye on. The 16-year-old currently belongs to Mjällby AIF, where he signed a contract running until 2028 earlier this year.

The forward has not yet made his senior debut. However, his impact at the international youth level has drawn attention. He has scored four goals in 12 appearances for the Sweden U16 team, which has helped raise his profile.

In recent times, reports linking them to a move started emerging. Those claims have now been strengthened further by the Portuguese newspaper to ballWhich confirms that both Chelsea and Wolves are among the clubs following the situation.

Juventus and Benfica have also been mentioned in the running.

Different plans, same opportunity

Zebedee Kennedy would represent a long-term project for any club.

In Chelsea’s case, the path seems relatively clear. The expectation will be that the player will be signed and then developed within the BluCo network.

A loan to Strasbourg, or another partner club, would fit the pattern seen with a number of recent arrivals.

For wolves, the situation is more linked to their immediate reset. Demotion changes the profile of the team, and the club is expected to bring in players who can develop with a new cycle.

A signing like Kennedy could be part of that process, even if the young Swede has even less of an impact.

what happens next

Zebedee Kennedy is still in the early stages of his career. He does not have any senior players yet, and his current club has him under contract until 2028.

This means any moves will likely depend on how quickly interest turns into concrete moves. For now, both Chelsea and Wolves appear to be in the monitoring phase, but the fact that several European clubs are circling suggests this could develop further in the coming months.

For two clubs going in different directions, this is one area where their strategies still overlap.

AIK Fotbal’s Zadok Yohana is attracting attention, including from the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur.

The 18-year-old player came through the ranks at Nigerian side Ikon Allah FA and joined AIK Fotball in June 2025.

His preferred position is on the right wing, but at the Swedish club, he also operates as a wing back. The Nigerian’s performances and ability have already attracted the attention of Chelsea.

On 10 April, Game Witness Claims covered from Nigeria The Blues are keeping a close eye on the player. Two days later, we Swedish club broadcasts the news Price set at €20-25m.

AIK football recruitment head Mikka Takkula has confirmed the interest without revealing details.

Tottenham joined Chelsea in the following players

express Tottenham are now reported to be keeping a close eye on the youngster in Sweden.

Broadcaster TV4 initially reported that scouts from unnamed Premier League teams were in Sweden to watch Zadok Yohan.

The outlet learned from its sources that a Spurs official was in Sweden yesterday. The scout watched Zadok Yohana live in his team’s 2–1 defeat to Dagerfors IF.

He played the full 90 minutes, and after the match, the same outlet spoke with the attacker, who was unaware that a Spurs scout was present.

“No, I don’t know. I didn’t know there were scouts here. I’m just focusing on my game. My focus is completely on AIK.” He said.

When asked about his future, Yohan said: “Of course I have a dream.”

Meanwhile, the player has impressed Dagerfors IF manager Henoch Goitome.

“Yohanna is an extraordinary player. I love watching him play. He plays just like he plays on the street. We told Samba [Diatara] That he is good. and to [Elias] Barsoum that we will have to play two matches against one there.” He added.

Our opinion: Spurs unlikely to spend big

If earlier claims are to be believed, the Allsvenskan side are requesting around €15-25m to sanction his sale.

Since moving to Europe, Zadok Yohanna has played 15 matches, scoring four goals and three assists. He has not been tested at the highest level yet.

Therefore, the summer may perhaps be too early for Tottenham Hotspur to spend €15m on the Nigerian. His contract expires in December 2029, and transfer market Value him at €500k.

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

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

wolves come out

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

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

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

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

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

Summer transfer possibility

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everton earns form transfer

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

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

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

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

everton position question

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

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

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

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

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

‘Wolves’ Months after leaving them for the Premier League team, Ferr López returned to Celta Vigo in January.

The La Liga side sold the attacking midfielder to Wolves for €23m in June 2025 and his sale helped them balance their books.

López did not receive regular minutes with the English club and struggled to impress when given limited opportunities.

To put this into context, he failed to score and contribute one assist in 364 minutes in 12 matches for Wolves. A limited role led him to return to Celta Vigo on loan for the remainder of the season.

Since moving back to Spain, the Wolves man has started to enjoy regular minutes.

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 11
• Start: 8
• Total minutes: 727
• Minutes per game: 66
• Target: 1
• Help: 0
• Expected target: 0.82
• Expected Support: 0.79
• Big chances made: 2
• Big chances missed: 1

Earlier this month, the 21-year-old said He wanted to be happy again and is now enjoying it at Celta Vigo.

On 7 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain His future is open after this season.

The Wolves man is clear about future plans

Celta Vigo wanted to sign him on loan for 18 months, but the Premier League team only allowed him to join until the end of the season.

uncheck It turns out and reports that Fer López wants to remain with the Spanish club next season. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is well aware of his transfer desire for the summer.

Wolves’ relegation from the top flight was confirmed earlier this week, and it is unclear whether it will have any impact on Lopez’s desire to remain at Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo president Marian Mourinho and sporting director, Marco Garces, will have to open fresh negotiations with the English club for a new loan deal, perhaps with a purchase option. It is clear they will not be able to offer the €23m fee they received from Wolves last summer.

He faced some challenges during talks in January. With this in mind, the report states that ‘another lengthy negotiations are set to take place between Celta Vigo and Wolves.’

Celta Vigo is now seventh on points with Getafe in sixth. There is a belief that it will be easier for Europe to reach an agreement by securing qualifications. However, Wolves have the final say on whether to approve a second loan.

Our view: Mendes key to summer transfer

The super-agent has a close relationship with the English club, who will make a number of changes to their squad in the summer.

Jorge Mendes is aware of Ferr López’s desire to remain at Celta Vigo and could use his good relationship with Wolves to help his client secure another loan transfer.

The representative has an important role to play in helping the player extend his stay in Spain.

Luis Palma’s €3.5m valuation is seen as ‘affordable’ for Sevilla this summer, raising possibility celtic Forward takes step towards Spain.

Orgullo Biri’s report The Spanish club are eyeing a move for the Celtic man this summer due to his low-cost valuation.

an affordable signature

A report last week said that Sevilla are attempting to persuade Luis Palma to join the club this summer.

They have been impressed by his performances while on loan at Lech Poznań. The 26-year-old has shone for the Polish side with nine goals and nine assists in 42 games in all competitions this season.

They are likely to exercise the €4m option to buy the winger, but According to reports in Spain, Sevilla are looking to intervene.

Sources close to the player had then denied anything had happened. But He stressed that Palma is eager to move into the top five leagues this summer. Celtic are likely to sell him after two consecutive loan deals away from the club.

Orgullo Bieri now reports that Palma’s current valuation of €3.5m is ‘a figure within Sevilla’s reach’. They see Palma as ‘affordable’. Either option loan or low cost transfer will work for them.

They say that while Lech Poznan want to sign Palma permanently, the player may prefer La Liga if a stronger offer comes in. Celtic are open to sale after Palma’s consecutive loan spells at Olympiacos and Lech.

sevilla status key

First and foremost, Sevilla need to make sure they are in La Liga. Now they face an important stage of the season in which it will be determined.

Their plans for next season depend on the result. Same is the case with Luis Palma. A deal for the Celtic forward will only go ahead if the Spanish side remain in the lead.

But if they do, he is seen as an affordable option they may want to pursue for next season.

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

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

PSG are in love with the Portuguese talent

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

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

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

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

agent link

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

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

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

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

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

Tottenham Hotspur People have been looking towards Brazil more and more in recent windows, and it’s not hard to see why.

It’s a market that regularly produces top talent at relatively accessible prices. Furthermore, players are often willing to move to England even if the conditions are not right.

It matters right now, Spurs are still not completely safe and are at least flirting with the idea of ​​dropping into the Championship. Nevertheless, moving to England may still be attractive.

He has been active there before also. Tottenham recently worked out a deal to sign left-back Souza from Santos, who fits into this wider strategy of tapping into the Brazilian market.

With that context in mind, Spurs have now taken another step forward.

Tottenham officials in Belo Horizonte

According to local insider Toka CentralA Tottenham scout was in the stands for Cruzeiro’s 2-0 win over Grêmio in Mineiro last weekend. However, there is no confirmation yet as to who exactly they were looking at.

After impressive performances, goals from Lucas Romero and Christian sealed the result. Both stood out on the night, but neither were considered to be Tottenham’s main targets.

Some of Cruzeiro’s names are attracting attention, and their recent performances have only added to that.

Kaiki looks clear

Inside the Brazilian club, Kaiki is seen as the most likely move to Europe. The 23-year-old left-back was close to joining Como in the last window, with a deal worth €12.5m (£10.8m) on the table before Cruzeiro backed out.

He ticks many Premier League boxes. Physical, reliable and capable of moving forward. Add in his recent Brazil call-up under Carlo Ancelotti, and his profile has only risen.

From a squad building perspective it could only make sense if Destinee Udogi was forced to leave Tottenham in the summer. Or his fellow Brazilian Souza is also expected to be loaned out. Still, he is a smart catch for any European side.

Kaio George is a high-impact option

If a scout was looking for immediate attacking output, Kaio George would have been impossible to ignore.

The striker has made a strong start to 2026 with nine goals in 12 matches. Last year he had scored 26 marks out of 46. He looks sharp, confident and quick and decisive in front of goal. That alone puts him on the radar of clubs across Europe.

West Ham tried to sign him There were further failures in the January window. This is because the club are reportedly unwilling to consider offers of less than €50m (£43.5m).

This pushes him into a very different category. For Tottenham, especially with uncertainty about their league position, that kind of investment would require serious conviction.

Others also on radar

Another logical name is Jonathan Jesus, which sits in a slightly different bracket. He’s 21 years old, and perhaps less sophisticated, but has a lower cost of entry.

Earlier this year, Zenit made a move in the region of €8m (£6.9m), which Cruzeiro rejected. Still, that evaluation puts him firmly in the “development signing” category.

Young wingers Kenny Arroyo and Neeser Villarreal also fit that description. Both are 20 years old and are troubling defenders.

Arroyo plays on the right side. He arrived from Besiktas last summer for €8.5 million (£7.3 million) and has been one of the first names on the team sheet since then. Villarreal can play on the left or up front. And before arriving at Cruzeiro, Barcelona had him on their radar after his performances for Colombia at the 2025 U20 World Cup.

‘Experienced’ angle

There are also more experienced profiles to look at. Like centre-back Fabricio Bruno, who has already attracted the interest of Juventus.

At 28, he doesn’t fit the same reselling model as others, but he offers something different – ​​reliability, leadership and immediate impact. If Spurs were thinking about a short-term fixture, he could be part of that conversation, even if he isn’t a specific target.

29-year-old Mathews Pereira is another man who would have stood out. He is a key creative midfielder for Cruzeiro, with only 5 goals and 4 assists this year.

He recently renewed his deal until 2028. This makes him a difficult target, but his profile – technical, inventive and capable of controlling the final third – is exactly what Tottenham usually look for.

What does this mean for Spurs

It doesn’t feel like a single-player mission. It appears that Tottenham are building a comprehensive picture of the squad and identifying a number of options depending on the shape of their summer squad.

Spurs are clearly building up knowledge and keeping an eye on a number of players rather than rushing into a deal. But if his situation becomes clearer in the coming weeks, things could move faster.

Either way, it’s another sign that the Brazilian is becoming an important part of Spurs’ recruitment thinking – and Cruzeiro could perhaps be the next destination they dive into.

🇫🇷Lucas Chevalier | Tottenham remain interested, but of course – everything depends on survivalhttps://t.co/etgUUThNuW #thfc #joyce

– Sports Witness (@Sport_Witness) 20 April 2026

last September, armory Lucas Nygaard was allowed to join Brambrandt IF on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old came up through FC Nordsjælland’s youth system but did not get the chance to make his debut for their senior team.

In January 2024, FC Nordsjælland released him and he remained without a club until Arsenal signed him in July 2024.

last june the goalkeeper said He was in talks with the Premier League side to move on loan and three months later, he secured a loan move to Brabrand IF.

Andreas Rasch-Christensen, sporting director of the second division Danish club, Told how his side was secured His services on a temporary deal.

Stomper’s league statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 7
• Total minutes: 585
• Clean sheets: 1
• Targets accepted: 14

Arsenal officials visit Denmark

tip sheet It is now reported that Gunners officials will soon travel to Denmark to decide on Lucas Nygaard’s future after this season.

The loan with the Danish club lasts until the end of this season, without any option or obligation to buy.

Mikel Arteta’s side have already met him twice in Denmark and will soon make a third visit. Brabbrand IF’s sporting director Andreas Rasch-Christensen confirmed this during an interview with Tipsbladet.

“He plans to travel very soon. They’re following him and having regular conversations with our goalkeeping coach and staff, I think, to figure out what their plans should be with him,” He said.

On the Denmark U19 international’s loan cycle so far, Rash-Christensen explained: “Lucas has done well in many ways. First and foremost, he fits in really well as a person, and he’s thriving. The collaboration has been sensible, and I also think he’s managed to develop in the right direction.”

Officials are ready to extend the Arsenal player’s temporary stay beyond this season but are unsure about the Gunners’ plans.

“We’re really happy to have him here, and I’m certainly open to conversations about further progress. I think he’s doing well and would love to make a loan like this.” He added.

“It remains to be seen whether it is realistic. It has not been discussed with Arsenal yet, but I can imagine that Arsenal have some plans for him. In any case, we are certainly not interested.”

Our opinion: Arsenal will approve another loan

Barring a surprise twist, Mikel Arteta will not include Lucas Nygaard in his plans at Arsenal next season.

Therefore, a loan move would be beneficial for the stopper. It is unclear whether the north London club plans to keep him or send him on loan to Brabrand IF or another club.

armory, Aston Villa And fulham They are all set to sign Celta Vigo’s Oscar Mingueza in the summer.

Aston Villa have repeatedly been named as contenders to sign the right-back and even watched him when Monchi was at Villa Park. Arsenal and Fulham have joined them in the race for the Spaniard’s signature.

His contract expires in June, and the La Liga side have already made concerted efforts for a renewal.

Celta Vigo made progress in renewal talks but suffered a setback over change of agent.

On 3 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain That British agency Unique Sports Group is now managing them. The new representatives had no contact with Celta Vigo.

Four days later, we broadcast news Aston Villa have prepared themselves to sign him for months.

Sports stadium Take a look at the Celta Vigo players who have contracts until June, including Oscar Mingueza.

Celta Vigo are trying to renew his contract and at the same time, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Fulham have joined the race to sign him on a free.

The 26-year-old is likely to leave as a free agent as the newspaper indicates he does not want to sign an extension. Apart from the Premier League trio, Juventus are also in the picture.

It is unclear what the former Barcelona player plans to do after this season or whether he has any preferences.

Celta Vigo unlikely to stay

La Liga team will face Barcelona in the league match today and before this match, game Spoke to Celta Vigo manager Claudio Giraldez.

It is no surprise that the Catalan newspaper asked the manager about Oscar Mingueza.

“He’s a fantastic player. He has a tremendous personality. I hope he can last; we know it will be difficult to keep him. I hope he can have a great career because he still has a lot of room for improvement and I like him a lot.” He said.

liverpool, chelsea And Barcelona are eyeing RB Leipzig’s Yann Diomande ahead of the summer.

On 6 April, Game Witness Covered Claims From Spain regarding the Premier League pair and Barcelona’s interest.

The same source said Liverpool and Chelsea are ready to offer €60m for the winger.

last week, Ivory Coast International said The latest claims of interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and other clubs inspire him.

Also, he ruled out the possibility of moving out in the summer.

The German club paid €20m to sign him from CD Leganés in July 2025 and he starred in his debut season.

His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 24
• Total minutes: 2,137
• Minutes per game: 74
• Target: 12
• Assist: 6

Latest on Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona

Wednesday edition of game La Liga side’s stance on Yann Diomande is covered and Liverpool and Chelsea are mentioned.

The winger is Barcelona sporting director Deco’s favorite choice to improve the attack in the summer. Therefore, the La Liga winners had a meeting with his agent less than a month ago.

His possible arrival at the Camp Nou would depend on Barca not extending Marcus Rashford’s loan stay and Raphinha receiving an attractive offer.

Hansi Flick’s side contacted RB Leipzig to ascertain the conditions necessary to secure his services.

The latter aims to drive record sales of the 19-year-old product. Sport Points say the German claims suggest a fee of around €100m, which Barcelona cannot match.

Therefore, the Catalan club ‘gave up the dream’ of signing a winger and focused on signing a striker and centre-back. This should come as a boost for Liverpool and Chelsea.

Both Arne Slot’s team and the Blues, along with Manchester United, would be in a position to meet the fee demanded to sign him.

Leipzig are in third place, five points ahead of fifth-place TSG Hoffenheim. Champions League qualification would further strengthen their position to retain Diomande or demand a hefty fee for him.

Our opinion: Liverpool have the edge over Chelsea

In January Yann Diomande spoke about his desire to move to Liverpool.

That time, He said: : “I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!”

This gives the Reds an advantage over others as long as they are willing to meet Leipzig’s demands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keep the key to Nottingham Forest

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

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

Fenerbahçe are preparing themselves for the signing Tottenham Hotspur Midfielder Pep Matar Sarr should fire Spurs out of the Championship.

photomac There are reports that talks are already underway with the 23-year-old about a move to Turkey this summer. He was re-listed earlier this month.

Fenerbahçe’s midfield overhaul

Fotomac explains that the Istanbul giants are preparing for a significant rebuild in their midfield this summer. Important decisions have already been taken in this regard.

Fred and Ismail Yuksek have been placed on the transfer list, while the club will not activate the purchase option for Edson Alvarez from West Ham United.

This will leave many vacancies in the midfield. Pape Matar Sarr is now one of the priorities to fill that gap.

first round of talks

According to the information of Fotomac, preliminary talks have already taken place with the mediators of the Tottenham midfielder.

Fenerbahce see Pep Matar Sarr as a high-profile signing who fits the club’s long-term profile. An important factor is that Sarr is expected to leave Tottenham if the club is relegated. It is a scenario that Fenerbahçe is watching closely.

The Turkish side believes that this can reduce the obstacles to the agreement to a great extent. Club officials are preparing to move from exploratory talks to formal talks in the coming days.

Sarr is currently valued at €32 million, but Fenerbahce hope this can be significantly reduced. They are willing to spend because they value Sarr’s athleticism, ability to win the ball and carry the team forward.

Pep Mater Sarr’s key to Tottenham’s relegation

However, it all depends on Tottenham’s Premier League position. If they go down, Fenerbahçe will move quickly to try to secure a favorable deal for the midfielder.

For now, it seems they are just hanging out in the background and preparing the ground for a possible attack. Talks are already underway with the midfielder’s entourage about a possible move.

If circumstances work in their favour, it seems they would be keen to take advantage of Tottenham’s worst-case scenario to begin a summer rebuild.

swansea city Coach Vitor Matos has admitted he needs to face the reality that star striker Zhan Vipotnik could be sold this summer.

The Swansea boss speaks about the club and their star man in an interview Today with A Bola.

old striker vipotnik

Xan Vipotnik joins the Welsh team on a free transfer in 2024 after leaving Bordeaux in France. But this season has been a breakout season for him.

21 goals in 42 games in the league, as well as two goals in four appearances in the EFL Cup, made his second season in the Championship a memorable one.

He is the current top goalscorer in the division and has the best minutes per goal ratio among the top ten scorers. His 25% goal conversion rate is also the second best.

Swansea City sale could be a possibility

Such an impressive record would not have gone unnoticed by the bigger clubs. And while Vitor Matos would prefer not to sell, he knows there is a financial reality in such cases.

“I have nothing but praise for him. It’s great to see him score and to see him score goals in so many different ways. I’m really happy.” He said.

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

“However, if you ask me whether he is the kind of player for whom it would be fair to demand a substantial fee, I have no doubt. It is clear for everyone to see that he is a player with high market value and immense collective importance to the team.

“As a coach, he is probably the kind of player I would least like to lose during the transfer window. However, we must always be mindful of the financial realities and the wider project of the club, to ensure our long-term financial sustainability.”

Focus on improvement for now

For now, the focus is on Zhan Vipotnik’s incredible improvement so far. Few would have expected such a comeback from the striker who arrived at Swansea City as a complete unknown in the summer of 2024.

Even fewer would have predicted that he would reach such heights this season, as he could only achieve seven out of 42 last season. He has now tripled that number, in one game less.

However, Vitor Matos knows how hard the striker has worked to get here.

“His finishing has incredible ease and spontaneity,” He added.

“It’s very difficult to get that kind of shooting power. Whether from outside the box or inside it, with his left foot, with his head, or with his right foot. He really is the complete centre-forward.

“He has also come a long way in terms of contributing to the defensive side of the team, without losing his instincts.

“In other words, he managed to develop his game, become more effective in his pressing, showed greater tactical control, and often led the team in terms of pressing, demonstrating our collective ability to try and dominate even when out of possession.

“He has made great progress in this regard, without sacrificing his natural spontaneity or his spark at key moments. This development was vital for him to retain his place and to reach the high level at which he is currently.”

Birmingham City’s Carlos Vicente says the Championship team has helped him settle in quickly in England.

The Spaniard spent his entire playing career in his home country before joining the Blues from Deportivo Alaves in January.

Birmingham City invested almost €8m and saw them move to the La Liga side resulting in anger From some sections of the Spanish media.

Two months ago, Alavés sporting director Sergio Fernández revealed that it was not entirely their decision to sell the 26-year-old.

That time, He said: : “He was a very important player for us. But sometimes circumstances arise that force us to take decisions. Financially, we have to be responsible and also address the concerns and needs expressed by the player.”

settling in well in birmingham city

As Published an interview with Carlos Vicente to discuss a range of topics including his transfer to Birmingham City and life in England so far.

The January signing said everything was done by Chris Davis’ side to make him comfortable.

When asked about his adaptation to England, he said: “Very good. The club has done everything possible to help me during these months.”

“Although we have gone through a difficult period collectively and individually, I already feel very comfortable. My life here is very calm, and I dedicate myself to training, rest, eating well, reading and studying.”

The Blues now sit 14th in the Championship, 12 points behind sixth-placed Hull City. The Spaniard knows promotion is unlikely this season but is still dreaming of a Premier League place.

“This season, yes, but it’s still my biggest dream. That’s one of the reasons I decided to come here. If I didn’t know this was what the club was aiming for, I probably would have made a different decision. We have a good foundation to try to jump into next season.” Vicente explained.

Birmingham City players on Brady call

NFL legend Tom Brady is a minority owner of the English club through 2023. Carlos Vicente is a fan of the American, but his call to join Birmingham City did not go away.

“No. I was thrilled, but it didn’t influence my professional decision at all. He’s one of my idols and one of the five greatest athletes of all time, but it didn’t influence my decision in the slightest.” He added.

AS asked if he was more impressed by Brady’s call than receiving calls from Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

Responding to that, Vicente said: “Yeah, definitely. I’m a huge NFL fan, and Brady is an idol to me in every way. It felt incredible to be able to talk to him. I was already in Birmingham, and the sports director gave me his phone, and it was a video call.

“When I saw his face, I was blown away. I’m a fan of American sports, both the NFL and the NBA, and Brady is a megastar who has always impressed me.”

Vicente’s statistics

Carlos Vicente has played 15 matches for Birmingham City so far, including one match in the FA Cup.

His championship statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 14
• Start: 7
• Target: 3
• Help: 1

newcastle united And Aston Villa Keep Galatasaray’s Gabriel Sarra on your radar for the summer.

The midfielder spent two years at Norwich City before leaving for the Turkish club in August 2024.

He has been a regular for Galatasaray, and Newcastle United and Aston Villa could bring him back to England.

The Brazilian has played 87 matches so far, scoring eight goals and 15 assists, six of which have come in 42 matches this season.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 21
• Total minutes: 1,840
• Interceptions per game: 0.6
• Tackles per game: 1.0
• Possession won (final third): 0.5
• Recovered balls per game: 2.7
• Clearance per game: 0.6
• Duels won per game: 3.1

Back in January, Sport Witness Covered claims from Türkiye Sunderland and Fulham as serious suitors. However, none were successful in the winter market.

Two months ago, we broadcast news The Black Cats and Leeds United are in talks over a potential deal for the 26-year-old.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa join the chase

spores According to reports, two Premier League teams have emerged as new contenders for Gabriel Sara from England.

Galatasaray will face Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday and then host Fenerbahçe in the derby match on Saturday.

Both Eddie Howe’s team and the Villans will send their scouts to Reims Park to keep a close eye on the South American against another Istanbul club on April 26.

The Turkish champions, for their part, are ready to sell the former Norwich City man in the next window. There is an express stipulation that Galatasaray will ‘absolutely not accept’ any offer below €30m.

At the moment, Newcastle United and Aston Villa will continue to monitor Sarah later this month and the decision on the next step will depend on the information gathered by their officials.

The report does not clarify the player’s stance on a potential transfer in the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

With a contract until 2029, transfer market Gabriel Sarra is valued at €22 million, which is at least €8 million less than Galatasaray’s asking price.

Brazilian agent Carlos Leite is representing the midfielder. His client list consists mostly of players from his country, including Wolverhampton Wanderers pair Joao Gomes and Andre.

leicester city The scout was at FC Porto’s 2-0 win over Tondela on Sunday. However, it didn’t feel like a trip built around Porto’s major names.

record It was reported that Leicester was one of three English clubs represented at the Dragão, along with Stoke City and Wolverhampton. However, Fox isn’t buying from a position of comfort just yet.

Sitting 23rd in the Championship table after 43 matches and in real danger of dropping into League One, it changes the type of market they can realistically attack.

Porto still offers obvious quality. Gabriel Veiga changed the match from the bench, Victor Frohold scored again and Rodrigo Mora was one of the more lively players before the break.

However, these are names that top-flight clubs would also have written down. Froholdt has now scored in consecutive league matches, while Veiga’s profile has long been well ahead of the English second-tier side.

That’s the glamorous end of The Notebook. The more useful Leicester section could start on Tondela’s side.

Tondela looks like a more realistic market

If Leicester City are making summer plans based on financial caution and the prospect of third-tier football, Tondela’s team makes more sense.

One who stands out is Bernardo Fontes. The 23-year-old Brazilian-born goalkeeper, who holds Italian citizenship, saved a penalty and prevented a major loss.

He has been Tondela’s most consistent pillar this season, with over 20 league appearances, and already has a strong reputation by being named Liga Portugal’s second goalkeeper of the year in 2024–25.

Rodrigo Conceição is another man who fits into the more realistic Leicester conversation. He is 26 years old and has experience at right-back, including time spent with Portugal’s youth national teams. He is not a high-profile target, but he is a viable target for a club in need of reliability.

Brian Medina offers a different profile. The 24-year-old Colombian centre-back is left-footed, stands around 1.95 metres, and has already shown strong defensive numbers this season.

Juanes Rodriguez is more of a developmental bet. The 20-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder is on loan from LDU Quito. He mainly plays as a defensive midfielder. He is still in the early stages of his career. Nevertheless, his performances at this level keep him on the radar for clubs looking to build ahead of schedule.

There was also a name on the teamsheet that might have surprised some people. Joe Hodge stood in midfield for Tondela. As has been the case this season, he looked absolutely at home there.

Still only 23 years of age, he has carved out a regular starting role and has become one of the key parts in Tondela’s midfield structure. His path to this point has already been pretty well covered. He developed in the academies of Manchester City and Wolverhampton. After that, he stepped up to senior football with Wolves and spent time on loan at QPR and Huddersfield.

Tondela secured him from Wolves for a relatively modest fee, and now it looks like smart business. He brings consistency and experience at different levels of English football. Plus, he also brings the added bonus of counting as a domestic player in England. All of this makes him a very practical profile for clubs looking for reliable options rather than high-risk bets.

Porto’s names attract attention, but Tondela fits the reality

This is probably the main takeaway from a visit to Leicester City.

Yes, there was more attainable talent on display in Porto. Left-back Alberto Costa and young striker Deniz Gul could fall into the “cheaper” bracket compared to Veiga, Mora and Frohold. Still, if Leicester are indeed preparing for a tough summer, Tondela looks far more aligned with their situation.

Bernardo Fontes is at the forefront in that regard. He combines performance, consistency and timing. For a club in need of value and advancement, that seems like the kind of opportunity that won’t be available for a long time.

Ultimately it may be about identifying gems before others. In that sense, Tondela’s team may prove to be a more important achievement than this trip.

Radu Dragusin’s spell has been mixed tottenhamNow, efforts to help him make an exit are gaining momentum after he joined from Genoa in 2024.

In January, sports witness Italian interest in the Defender was closely covered. AS Roma were particularly pushing for his signature, as AC Milan had also attempted a move.

Neither succeeded, as Tottenham did not back down from their position on a permanent deal. No interested Serie A side could afford the requested €25 million, only wanting an initial loan.

Things haven’t really changed for Dragusin since January. He has started six Premier League games, but has been placed on the bench in the last three fixtures.

Now, people around the Romanians are pushing for an exit.

Dragusin is interested in transfer

spotmedia The report from Romania states that the centre-back has lost patience with the London club. He is very disappointed with the proposed playing time, with the last time the league games will start on 15 March.

As a result, the 24-year-old has informed his agent Florin Mané of his desire to find a new club.

Negotiations are already underway with clubs from Italy and Germany, the specific names of the teams are unknown at the moment. But it is very clear that he will be leaving Tottenham, as the player is ‘unhappy with his situation’.

Spurs are also, at their end, set to part ways in the summer. He feels that his returns since joining have been very poor and this is forcing him to evaluate the sale.

Dragusin is better off in a back-up role

Dragusin has been a squad player since joining Tottenham. The main reason for this is the presence of Mickey Van de Ven and Christian Romero.

The way he performed in Genoa, it would be fair to say that he is better off being a back-up. Although he is not excellent on the ball, Dragusin’s strength has always been in his recovery and heading ability.

Only glimpses of this have been seen at Tottenham. He is still only 24 years old and working towards his peak. This makes 2026 the best time for Dragusin to get a permanent transfer.

After performing well in the Premier League last season, Jens Cageste returned to Ipswich Town last summer. Napoli are now keeping a close eye on how the Championship season will end.

The Swede played 30 times in the Premier League during the 2024/25 campaign, and became a key player for Kieran McKenna. In the current season, he has played 29 times in the Championship and contributed five goals.

Earlier in the campaign, sports witness Critical praise was included for the midfielder. This came just after impressing in the league game against West Brom.

Although he has been on the bench a few times in recent weeks, Ipswich Town cannot find a role in his long-term situation. This will become the case if they earn promotion to the English top-flight.

arianapoli Take a look at Napoli’s stance as they become desperate for his permanent exit.

napoli wants money

The outlet noted how Napoli are keeping a close eye on the Championship. They are hoping to see Ipswich Town gain promotion, with Coventry City having already confirmed their return to the Premier League.

They make it clear that if McKenna’s side moves forward, their obligation to purchase Cajete will be fulfilled. a loan fee of €2m had already been paid in the summer, with an obligation to buy at €7.5m.

Desperation for that money is growing, as it will provide little help to Napoleonicites. He saw Caste struggle in Italy during the 2023/24 season, forcing him to part ways with them just one season after his arrival.

Ipswich Town may not be too keen

Against Middlesbrough, Cajste was not even in the team and the same was true against Norwich, against whom Ipswich Town had no problems.

The 26-year-old’s prominence is waning. Napoli apparently wouldn’t mind if McKenna leads his club back to the Premier League.

This allows them to avoid losing other key players and gain some leverage to sign important targets. As for Ipswich Town, they may already be scouting potential suitors for Cajste ahead of the summer window.

Aston Villa Barcelona are among the clubs put forward as contenders to sign Alejandro Balde.

On 26 March, Game Witness Covered claims from Spain Aston Villa, Manchester City and Manchester United have made contacts to sign him in the summer.

Earlier this month, we broadcast news Willans’ interest in a left-back receives further support.

He is a product of Barcelona’s youth system and has been with their first team since 2021.

The Spain international is now Hansi Flick’s first-choice pick, having made 36 appearances so far this season. The fullback’s playing time has been partially restricted due to two separate injuries.

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 22
• Start: 19
• Total minutes: 1583
• Minutes per game: 71

Aston Villa clarify the situation

The latest claims say Unai Emery’s side are willing to spend €60m to bring him to Villa Park in the summer.

game Contacted the Premier League team to inquire about Alejandro Balde’s intentions.

Sources close to Aston Villa have wasted no time in ruling out any move to sign the 22-year-old. In fact, the English club are refusing to sign a new left-back in the next window.

Emery has Lucas Digne as first-choice left-back and 24-year-old Ian Matson as the Frenchman’s backup. Therefore, no possible move for the player to Barcelona for the summer is on the cards.

This should be enough to end Aston Villa’s claims as a replacement for Balde. It is unclear whether other contenders are willing to move forward after this season.

Barcelona, ​​for their part, are not closing the door to the Spain international’s exit and are open to listening to offers that meet their financial criteria. However, the fullback is not thinking about leaving the Camp Nou.

Our opinion: Aston Villa’s stance makes sense

Alejandro Balde has a contract until 2028 with a €1bn release clause. According to its value transfer marketis €55 million, which is €5 million less than March 2025.

Agency Gestifute, owned by super-agent Jorge Mendes, is representing the Spaniard.

Barcelona would need a concrete offer to consider sanctioning his sale.

Given that Aston Villa’s left-back position is well covered and they have other priorities, it is unlikely for the Villans to spend big on Balde. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for Unai Emery to rule out any potential move for the Barça player.

bournemouth An attempt was made to sign Luis Henrique from Inter Milan in the January transfer window. The Cherries are now pushing for a summer deal.

The Brazilian joined the Nerazzurri from Marseille last summer. The deal came amid much anticipation, especially after the versatile winger impressed in France. He contributed 15 goals in 33 Ligue 1 games in his final campaign, earning him a move to Italy.

Things are very different in Italy. He was left on the bench several times in the first half of the season. sports witness Covered how keen Bournemouth and other clubs were in January.

Inter were pushing to sign Ivan Perisic as a potential replacement. That deal was never completed, resulting in Cherries being barred from signing Louis Henrique.

Things haven’t changed much, e.g. interest Learn about wing-backs in detail.

Bournemouth leads the race

In January, the likes of Aston Villa and Everton were also said to be keen on the player. Now, it is only Bournemouth who are pushing for a deal.

The outlet has made it clear that ‘€25m is on the table’ from Bournemouth, who can now seal the deal. This is because Inter would not mind making money this way.

Even the players will be very happy with the move, they have expressed their desire to play in England. If other Premier League clubs come forward for him, he will consider them as well.

Inter do not see the sale of Luis Henrique as a priority but have identified Marco Palestra as a replacement. If they earn €25 million from Bournemouth, it could be used to sign the Atalanta wing-back.

Our take: Bournemouth must keep trying

There are indications that Inter would be keen to sell the Brazil international. The 24-year-old has shown inconsistency throughout the campaign and has looked sloppy when it comes to finding the final ball.

But he has the running ability that can thrive in the Premier League. Bournemouth have several players of that type, with Luis Henrique likely to be more involved.

A €25 million deal could work out quite well, especially considering how well he performed in France.

west ham unitedKonstantinos Mavropanos is attracting interest ahead of the summer window.

The defender had options to leave West Ham last summer, but the move never materialised.

In August 2025, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy The desire of both AS Roma and Villarreal to sign him. At that time, the Premier League side were ready to let him go.

At the end of that month, we broadcast news Villarreal held preliminary talks but refused to meet the price set by the Hammers.

The Greece international has made 29 appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side so far this season.

His Premier League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 25
• Start: 21
• Total minutes: 1,995
• Interceptions per game: 1.5
• Tackles per game: 1.4

German interest in West Ham man

sky germany Now cover the latest on Konstantinos Mavropanos’ plans and West Ham United’s stance for the summer.

The centre-back had spells in Germany with 1. FC Nürnberg and VfB Stuttgart, a club he joined on loan from Arsenal in 2020. He made his stay permanent after a two-year loan spell.

Stuttgart sold him to the Hammers for around €25m in August 2023 and the player is now ready to change clubs.

The 28-year-old is a ‘candidate’ to leave the Premier League team after this season. The latter appears to be in favor of a sale as Sky State West Ham are hoping to collect at least €30 million in the next window.

Several clubs are interested in the player, including some from the Bundesliga, who have sent early signals towards West Ham. There is no mention of details of these clubs in the report.

Contract, price and agent information

Konstantinos Mavropanos will have two years remaining on his contract at the end of the season.

transfer market He is valued at €15m and had a high of €20m in May 2024, and agent Constantino Farras manages the Greek.

Considering his age and his West Ham contract, it remains to be seen if any of his suitors are prepared to meet his €30m demand.

Manchester UnitedMarcus Rashford is on loan at Barcelona and his future after this season remains uncertain.

The La Liga winners have agreed a €30m purchase option with Manchester United as part of a loan deal.

On April 1st, we broadcast news The buyout clause was valid until March 31, but others quickly rejected this claim.

Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Rashford’s agent Arturo Canales will hold an ‘important meeting’ with Barcelona sporting director Deco to discuss his future.

The England international has scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists in 43 appearances so far this season.

• Minutes per game: 55
• Target: 6
• Assist: 6
• Expected target: 6.49

• Big chances missed: 9

Barca’s concerns with the Manchester United man

Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski are on today’s front page gameIn which ‘at risk’ is written in bold letters.

In the report, the newspaper said that the duo would have a ‘very difficult task’ to extend their stay at Barcelona beyond this season. Lewandowski’s contract expires in June while the Manchester United-owned player is on loan.

In January, Hansi Flick’s side began talks to extend the Englishman’s stay and considered a price tag of €30m to be a ‘deal’. However, the issue with the Red Devils is over his wages.

Sport say the forward earns €18m net per year at Manchester United, which Barcelona clearly can’t afford.

The attacker is ready to find different formulas such as spreading his current salary over a longer contract or even reducing his salary.

Game Status: ‘No matter how much it is reduced, the total cost of Rashford will be too high for a player who has not earned a starting place.’

Therefore, Barcelona can only retain him through another loan or if Rashford takes a significant pay cut. It is unclear whether he is willing to do the latter, but the Spanish giants have started looking for other wingers.

Manchester United is waiting for development

The Premier League team is waiting for Barcelona’s final decision on Marcus Rashford. If the Catalan club decides not to retain him, the player will return to Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick has opened the door for a return, while Manchester United are yet to make a decision on his future. He can only make a move if Barcelona will not buy him.

As things stand, Rashford’s permanent move to Camp Nou is ‘in danger’.

Coming off of their third consecutive trip to the Elite Eight, Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers have hit the college basketball transfer portal hard this summer and another significant change could be coming.

On3.com’s Joe Tipton wrote Friday that he would give the Volunteers “the edge” in the fight to remove VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr. from the portal.

The 6-foot-3 Hill arrived in Knoxville earlier this week and is staying for a long time. That’s what happened to Tennessee’s four current commits — Miles Rubin, Dai Dai Ames, Jalen Harrelson and Tyler Lundblad, who all attended the program at the end of their official visits.

The Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma Sooners have also been linked to the VCU transfer. However, Tipton says it “does not seem likely” Hill will travel to Norman.

RELATED: Tennessee Volunteers to spend big bucks on basketball

On3 and Rivals.com ranked Hill as the 24th-best player and eighth-best guard in the college basketball transfer portal this offseason. Jeff Borzello of ESPN ranked him the 21st best player available.

“Hill undoubtedly boosted his stock with his performance against North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He led VCU to a 19-point comeback and upset victory with 34 points, five rebounds and five assists. He earned first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors last season after averaging 15.0 points while shooting 37% from 3.”

ESPN’s Jeff Borzello defends Terrence Hill Jr.

In his final season with VCU, the 20-year-old emerged as one of the biggest breakout stars outside of the Power 4 conferences. He earned first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors and was named Atlantic 10 Tournament MVP, Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year and the conference’s Most Improved Player.

In his final 15 games with the program, he averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 assists and 3 rebounds per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field.

Sevilla are attempting to convince Celtic’s Luis Palma to avoid a permanent move to Lech Poznan and join them this summer.

Estadio Deportivo report that the Spanish side Despite Celtic’s agreement with Lech Poznan, Palma are working to keep him as an option for the summer transfer window.

loan deal in permanent exit

Luis Palma has been impressing on loan at Lech Poznan this season, with eight goals and nine assists in 41 appearances in all competitions so far.

The belief is that the Polish side is ‘almost certain’ Exercising a €4m option to purchase the 26-year-old on a permanent basis from Celtic. They’ll either keep it, or sell it for a quick, easy profit.

But Sevilla are looking to intervene. Nervion officials are still attempting to convince the Honduran player to join them. They want him to put pressure on Celtic to accept Leitch’s offer.

He has also targeted the winger. And director of football Antonio Cordon is now attempting to stop a permanent move from happening. He is trying to convince Palma to go to Spain.

a complementary option

Sevilla see a lot of value in this deal. Luis Palma can act as a complementary option to Ruben Vargas. Or, if it is sold as a higher-capacity replacement. It’s a win-win.

The current asking price is also not beyond their capacity. Of course, that is assuming that Celtic will sell for the same price they have agreed with Lech Poznan. There can be debate on this.

Sevilla will not make any definitive moves until their La Liga position is secure. Planning a top flight is a very different idea from planning a second flight. But the club hierarchy have plans in place that would allow him to move on if needed.

One positive is that there is room for a Celtic winger. He will occupy a non-EU roster spot, but Sevilla have room to add him. Thus, the foundation stone has been laid.

Now they are trying to persuade him to ignore Lake Poznan, return to Celtic Park this summer and move back to La Liga. Of course, that’s assuming they’re in La Liga.
