Tottenham Hotspur River Plate are in the transfer picture to sign Ian Subiabre in the summer.

The 19-year-old player is a product of River Plate’s youth system and has made his way into their first team in 2024.

His development has already attracted the interest of several clubs and Tottenham have now been added to the list.

Additionally, it also helped him make his debut for Argentina U20 in 2025 and he starred for them last year.

The winger impressed for the first time at the U20 South American Championship and performed brilliantly at the U20 World Cup, which Argentina lost to Morocco in the final. He scored five goals in 15 matches in both these tournaments.

Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news Chelsea face competition from Arsenal, who are set to sign the wonderkid.

Tottenham joins transfer race for Argentina

indolent No longer any mention of the Blues or the Gunners in reports focused on their London rivals.

Their headline states that Tottenham Hotspur are ‘quick’ for Ian Subiabre and within the report, it is stated that their interest has ‘rang alarm bells’ at River Plate.

Although he debuted in 2024, the South American only began appearing regularly in this calendar year. His statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 12
• Start: 6
• Total minutes: 566
• Minutes per game: 47
• Target: 1
• Help: 2
• Shots on goal per game: 0.5
• Key passes per game: 1.0

As well as Spurs, an unnamed German club have made contact with an interest in the youngster.

People close to Subiabre, that is, his entourage, are not ruling out analyzing proposals for the summer. This leaves the door open for possible negotiations with the Argentine club. If Roberto De Zerbi’s side make a serious move, everything indicates that negotiations could take place.

River Plate, for its part, is standing firm and citing the attacker’s €100 million release clause.

Contract, price and agent information

Ian Subiabre has a contract until December 2028. Transfermarkt values ​​him at €3.5m, the highest ever in his career. Agent Claudio Caniggia looks after her interests and future.

He played 35 matches for the first team, scoring three goals and three assists. Taking these factors into account, it is unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur or any other European club will pay €100 million.

Last December, journalists Hernan Castillo indicated A sale could be possible for €10-15m. A proposal in this area or slightly higher may be needed to move the player away from River Plate.

Marco Palestra’s stock has risen incredibly over the past few months, and the Atalanta loanee is gaining attention newcastle united, armory And tottenham.

sports witness Liverpool’s interest in the full-back has been covered before.

The Reds attempted to land him from Atalanta last summer but the youngster joined Cagliari on loan.

His progress is going very well, thanks to his performance for Italy against Bosnia last week. It resulted in a defeat, but Palestine’s influence was clearly visible at right wing-back as he also scored inside from that position.

Now with his valuation rising, the idea of ​​a move to England is gaining momentum.

Three clubs are monitoring the transfer situation

tuttosport The report said that it is becoming difficult for Palestine to live in Italy.

This is largely due to his valuation, with Atalanta demanding more than €50m to see him depart in the summer.

The Bergamo club are also anticipating an international auction, with Newcastle United ‘hottest’ in the hunt for the versatile full-back.

In addition to the Magpies’ pursuit, Arsenal and Tottenham are also in the mix. Both clubs have scouted him several times but they currently favor Eddie Howe.

Even Barcelona are interested and they sent a scout to watch Palestine specifically for Cagliari’s game against Napoli two weeks ago.

They are also expected to continue monitoring him for the next few weeks.

Atalanta are unlikely to be easy negotiators

Historically, Atalanta has always proven to be a difficult club to deal with in the market. They are experts at mass selling and as their handling of Ademola Lookman shows, they do not back down from their stance.

Right now, they have no reason to secede from Palestine. If they qualify for Europe, they can easily keep him and use him regularly next season.

This would increase the 21-year-old’s value, causing problems for Newcastle United, Tottenham and Arsenal. Therefore, all three clubs will have to come up with something special in the summer.

Palestra can play on either side and uses both feet equally well. This makes him a rare profile and some club should definitely approach him.

Tarik Muharremovic has been one of the best defenders in Serie A this season, and Aston Villa And tottenham They are increasingly being mentioned as possible contenders.

The defender, who currently plays in Serie A for Sassuolo, proved a menace for the Italian national team last week.

He performed brilliantly for Bosnia against the Azzurri, helping his country qualify for the World Cup.

For Sassuolo, he has played 27 times in all competitions this season. He has impressed with his reliable ball-playing ability, while also displaying tough physical ability.

sports witness Have previously covered the Premier League’s interest in the defender.

Now, Tottenham and Aston Villa have been told how much they will have to pay for Muharremovic.

Sassuolo set the transfer price of Tarik Muharremovic

tuttosport Note how the Bosnia defender dominated the Italian forward last week and believe me it shows how far he has come in Serie A.

The game is seen as a test of his maturity and he passed with flying colors.

Tottenham and Aston Villa are competing for Muharemovic’s signature.

Bournemouth attempted to sign him in January and failed, but England is a possible destination for the defender.

Currently, Sassuolo are demanding €30m, which would give them ‘extraordinary capital gains’.

Muharremovic arrived at the Mapei Stadium in 2025 for just €5m after an initial loan and his value quickly increased.

There is also competition from Italy, where Inter Milan and Juventus are keen. The Nerazzurri are potentially a little more advanced, having already made Sassuolo aware of a summer deal.

The task is potentially complex for Tottenham and Aston Villa

It wouldn’t be a surprise if there were more suitors for Muharremovic in the next few weeks.

Sassuolo wants an auction, and this is a club that survives on capital gains from big sales.

Juventus have a sell-on clause in their current deal and this would allow them to sign him at a lower price.

A deal between Aston Villa and Tottenham is unlikely to be easy. The Italian press will likely continue to put pressure on other clubs to increase the player’s valuation.

There is no doubt about Muharremovic’s qualities, however. Tottenham could lose Micky Van de Ven in the summer and the Bosnia international could be the ideal replacement.

At 23 he is a long-term option for Aston Villa or Spurs and would also provide an opportunity to sell. Sassuolo getting €30m from any club works out well for everyone involved.

Manchester UnitedChelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa Red Bulls are keen to sign Hamburg’s Kerim Alajbegovic.

The 18-year-old’s development at the Austrian club has been noticed by Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Aston Villa and others.

He left the academy of 1. FC Köln for Bayern Leverkusen in 2021 and spent four years with the latter’s youth system.

In July 2025, the Bundesliga side sold him to Red Bull Hamburg and the move has worked out well so far.

Operating mainly on the left wing and occasionally as a right winger, he scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 37 matches.

His Austrian Bundesliga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 21
• Start: 16
• Total minutes: 1,406
• Minutes per game: 67
• Expected target: 3.31
• Expected Support: 3.53
• Goal conversion: 11%
• Big chances created: 6

His impressive performances helped him make his debut for the senior Bosnia and Herzegovina team in September. Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany Manchester United is looking for youth.

PL Quartet in Pictures for Transfer

from bosnia National team The report adds that several English clubs ‘want to complete the transfer of Kerim Alajbegovic as soon as possible.’ Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa come to mind immediately.

It has been claimed that the Red Devils, Chelsea and Manchester City have all made contact, without clarifying whether it is with his agent, the club or both. Aston Villa are also in the mix and will try to make an approach.

On 26 March, Bayer Leverkusen announced A buyback clause has been activated to bring the attacker back to the club in the summer. Premier League sides will have to negotiate with the German club to secure his services.

Bayer Leverkusen is in a comfortable position to negotiate a potential sale. The outlet claims ‘a fee of around €30m is in the works’ and the fee could rise further if there is a bidding war.

Our take: PL move could happen too soon

If Kerim Aljabegovic is to make a move to the Premier League in the summer, he may struggle to get regular minutes initially.

He did not make his debut for Bayer Leverkusen’s first team, and this is his first season at the highest level. The young attacker has played 2,117 minutes so far this season.

Due to lack of sufficient experience, the Bosnian player will not be able to enjoy minutes at Manchester United, Chelsea or Manchester City.

Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that his five-year contract will come into effect from the summer. According to its value transfer marketIs €15m.

newcastle united Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos’s future beyond this season remains uncertain.

The Greece international arrived at St James’ Park from Nottingham Forest in July 2024 and made one appearance in his debut season.

Last August, Newcastle United agreed to a loan move to Sevilla, without any purchase option or obligation.

The decision to move to Spain has clearly been beneficial. The stopper initially sat on the bench before making his debut in September and has since been the La Liga team’s No. 1.

His league statistics for Sevilla are as follows:

• Appearances: 26
• Clean sheets: 4
• Target Allowed: 44
• Goals conceded per game: 1.9
• Penalty saved: 1/10
• Savings per game: 2.9

on March 13 The goalkeeper declined to comment On his future after this season.

Three days later, Seville Sports director Antonio Cordon stressed He wants to extend his stay. The official has expressed his desire to retain him even after this season.

Newcastle United take a tough stance on transfers

According to Antonio Cordero’s recent comments, Sevilla would only have to reach an agreement with Eddie Howe’s side to extend Odysseas Vlachodimos’ stay.

pride one Now he has a report on the possibilities of extending his stay at the Andalusian club.

The 31-year-old is an undisputed starter in La Liga and his performances this season have attracted interest from other unnamed clubs.

Therefore, Newcastle United are refusing to offer a significant discount, also considering that they paid €24m to sign him. The Magpies’ ‘final price’ is €10m, which is very high for the Spanish club.

This makes it ‘almost impossible’ for Sevilla to buy him, and they have also informed his agent about this. Both sides have analyzed different scenarios in which Sevilla could retain the stopper.

For now, keeping Vlachodimos beyond a loan deal is a ‘realistic dream’. The situation can change only if the club finds a new investor soon.

What’s next for the player and the Magpies?

As things stand, Odysseas Vlachodimos will return to the Premier League team, where he has a contract until 2028. according to its value transfer marketIs €4m.

Eddie Howe now has Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale [on loan from Southampton] and Mark Gillespie are their three goalkeepers. Gillespie and Pope’s contracts expire in 2026 and 2027, respectively.

If the Magpies were to retain the Greek stopper, he may have to settle for a backup role rather than becoming their new No. 1 again. This could potentially lead to a summer transfer for him to enjoy regular minutes next season.

However, it is worth noting how well he has performed in La Liga this season, and although it is unlikely he will be Newcastle United’s No. 1, it appears he has the ability required for the role.

The women’s college basketball transfer portal got its biggest addition this week when Iowa State star Audie Crooks revealed she is entering college basketball free agency to “explore what it means to re-establish roots in a new land.” Which is code for getting one last big payday in his final year of eligibility.

In her three seasons with the Cyclones, Crooks became one of the best players in program history and emerged as one of the game’s leading scorers. Ranked second in the country with 25.8 points per night in 2025–26.

Crooks is a dominant force, with his bull in china shop style in the paint, and will surely have a number of big-time suitors in the transfer portal. With that in mind, we look at six potential landing spots for Star Jr.

UCLA Bruins

After a big win over Texas on Friday night, UCLA coach Corey Close is on the verge of bringing the women’s basketball program its first national championship. However, after the championship game, their team will either lose or win, as many stars are headed to the WNBA.

Close will need to rebuild quickly to keep the Bruins in tournament contention. Going after Crooks would make a lot of sense to fill the void left by the departure of top star Lauren Bates.

minnesota golden gophers

There is already talk that Minnesota could be the top contender for Audie Crooks in the transfer portal. Coach Don Plitzuwitz has turned the Golden Gophers into a powerhouse in the Big Ten and got the program to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in eight years this month. Splurging on an Iowa State star in the portal and trying to jump into title contention next season would be a smart risk for the program.

lsu tigers

LSU’s Kim Mulkey is one of the top coaches in college basketball and has already announced that she plans to enter the transfer portal to improve her roster for next season. Crooks could certainly be a priority to push the Tigers back into Final Four contention in 2026-27. The thought of Audie Crooks and Mylesia Fulville teaming up next season should scare SEC rivals.

iowa hockeys

Coaches Lisa Bluder and Kaitlin Clark transformed the women’s basketball program at Iowa into a glamor team. Jen Jensen has done a good job of maintaining the standards, but they need bigger guns. Especially because they will lose star forward Hannah Stuelke to graduation this spring.

Getting Crooks away from their in-state rivals would be a huge coup for the Hawkeyes program and they would get a new scoring machine in Clark.

yukon huskies

After being the best team in basketball all season, Geno Auriemma didn’t handle UConn’s chance at another repeat after losing to South Carolina in the Final Four. He has never been a fan of the transfer portal. However, that bitter loss could propel them to make a big splash this spring. Especially since they will lose several key players after this season, including forward Sarah Williams.

tcu horned frog

Mark Campbell has turned TCU into an elite program in the Big 12 after back-to-back seasons with 32 or more wins. However, they are set to lose some elite players from the program this year, including star forward Marta Suarez. The university has expressed its desire to continue spending on the transfer portal. Going after the top scorer in the country will help maintain the Horned Frogs’ new standard as a top program in women’s college basketball.

In the winter market, Rangers manager Danny Rohl allowed Clinton Nsiala to leave Ibrox and go on loan to KVC Westerlo.

As part of the loan deal, Jupiler Pro League side have agreed a purchase option with Rangers.

The 22-year-old joined Rangers on a free transfer in June 2024, after spending three years in AC Milan’s youth system.

ranger people overcame the competition From Monza, Empoli, Hamburg SV and VfB Stuttgart sought to secure his services.

He played 1,110 minutes in 17 matches at Ibrox, 139 of which came under Rohl. Due to limited game time at Rangers, the manager let him go on loan in February.

The move allowed him to be reunited with former Rangers assistant manager Issam Charai at Westerlo. At Ibrox, he operated primarily as a centre-back, while Charizard used him as a left-back.

Frenchman Jupiler Pro League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 3
• Start: 3
• Total minutes: 185
• Minutes per game: 62

On 1 March, the Rangers-owned player was shown a red card in the 29th minute of his team’s goalless draw against Royal Union Saint-Gillois. The dismissal resulted in a three-match suspension, causing him to miss the last three matches.

Westerlo Rangers decide on man

Saturday edition of antwerp gazette For the summer window of KVC Westerlo, there is a report on their plans to reshape their team for next season.

Clinton Nsiala gets a mention when discussing his plans for the defence, and the newspaper says the Ibrox man will ‘return to Rangers’.

His contract expires in 2028, and transfer market Value him at €500k.

Danny Rohl has to decide whether to sell in the summer or include him in his plans for next season.

waiting for rangers funds

Meanwhile, another Belgian newspaper, Importance of LimburgThere is a report on serial killers.

The Belgian spent two years at Rangers and left Ibrox permanently to join Panathinaikos in September.

The 31-year-old striker had two separate spells in SK Tongeren’s academy. The first was in 2006–07 and the second was between 2009 and 2011. This allows them to receive a share of the fee from his sale to the Greek club.

Hubert Jackers is replacing Steven Van Gieteruyen as the new chairman of Tongeren. He gave an interview to HBVL, where he talked about waiting for money from Rangers.

The lower division Belgian club is going through difficult times and is desperately waiting for funds.

“I also want to emphasize that I am not just working on the recovery of the club. We have brought in some experts, so I am confident that everything will work out in the end. The negative situation of the club is being exaggerated. It is not as bad as some people are claiming.” He said.

“On the revenue side, we are still receiving income from sponsorships, membership fees and FIFA payments from Rangers and Panathinaikos for cereal desserts.

“The players’ dues will be cleared by the end of this month. So, I am optimistic as far as the license is concerned. We may still need to clarify a few things for the committee, but otherwise our application is largely complete.”

FIFA solidarity payments have been taking longer for many clubs in recent years. This suggests that this is a FIFA issue rather than Rangers and others dragging their feet.

Liverpool have identified Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella as a transfer target for the summer.

The Italy international initially moved to the Serie A team on loan from Cagliari in 2019 and joined them permanently a year later.

He could move on after this season and Liverpool has emerged as an option.

Barella has been a regular player for the Italian club and has scored 26 goals and provided 62 assists in 326 appearances. This includes one goal and eight assists in 36 games this season.

His Serie A statistics per game this season are as follows:

• big opportunities were created [season]:14
• Main pass: 2.3
• perfect pass [season]:86%
• Tackle: 1.7
• Possession won (final third): 0.7
• Ball recovered: 4.7
• Duel won: 3.5

Arne Slott’s side are showing interest in bringing the midfielder to the Premier League.

Liverpool’s plan to reduce prices

InterLive.it Report that the Nerazzurri have all players available for sale except Lautaro Martínez and Francesco Pio Esposito.

This means that stars like Nicolo Barella could say ‘goodbye’ in the next window and they will have no shortage of options.

Regardless of the future of Arne Slot, Liverpool are looking to improve their midfielder next season. They see the Italian as an ‘ideal candidate’ and will attempt to bring him to Anfield.

Inter Milan value the 29-year-old at more than €60 million, and the Reds find that price too high. To reduce the price, the Merseyside club will include two of their players as part of the deal.

The title of the report states: ‘Inter, an all-Italy swap: two for one with Barella’. Slot side Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni are being offered loan deals.

Chiesa has not performed well since leaving Juventus for Liverpool in August 2024. In January, Sport Witness broadcast news Due to interest from his old club, but no move in the winter market.

The 28-year-old attacker could be on the move and a return to Italy in the summer appears to be the most viable option.

fcinter1908 Inter Milan are reportedly thinking about Leone, who left Parma for Liverpool last August. The 19-year-old centre-back suffered a serious injury on his debut in September and has been sidelined since then.

San Siro Club has always given importance to youth and will continue to do so. The outlet clarified that this is their own information and said ‘Not entirely indifferent to a possible return to Italy.’

For now, Leoni is a consideration for Inter Milan, who could pursue a loan move, perhaps with an option to buy.

Barela’s contract information, price and agent information

Nicolo Barella has a contract until 2029 and his value is as per transfer marketIs €50m. He is represented by agent Alessandro Beltrami.

The midfielder turned 29 in February. Therefore, Liverpool offering plus money to two of their players may not be a good deal for them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aston Villa and Bournemouth keen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Aston Villa could have the transfer edge

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

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

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

Chelsea and Newcastle United are set to sign Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in a summer transfer.

The Switzerland international’s move to the Bundesliga side has not gone unnoticed as the Blues only showed interest last summer.

In April 2025, Sport Witness Covered Claims Told the German that Chelsea is serious about him.

Two months later, the stopper said that his love for the BVB fans convinced him to stay despite interest from the west London club.

That time, He said: : “Everyone knows I feel extremely comfortable at Dortmund. I love the fans, the stadium, the club and the atmosphere. Everyone knows it and sees it when I’m on the pitch. I really appreciate it.”

Chelsea and Newcastle United target Cobble transfer

March is fast approaching and the 28-year-old is back on the agenda for Liam Rosenior’s side and this time, Newcastle United have joined them in the transfer race.

is according to foot marketWho cover Chelsea and the Magpies’ interest in Gregor Kobel.

English clubs are ‘tracking’ the stopper and could fight to bring him to the Premier League in the summer.

Bayern Munich are also in the mix, along with the Blues and Eddie Howe’s team. The Bavarian club are considering the Borussia Dortmund star as a replacement for 40-year-old Manuel Neuer.

The Swiss left VfB Stuttgart in 2021 and moved to Signal Iduna Park and has remained number 1 ever since. Since joining BVB, he has been a top-tier stopper in Europe, which has generated interest in him.

Foot Mercato, who clarify that this is their own information, report that Cobell could take the ‘next step’ in his career after this season. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to a move to England or Bayern Munich.

His Bundesliga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 27
• Start: 27
• Target allowed: 28
• Clean sheets: 12

transfer market He is worth €40 million. With a contract until 2028, the German club could demand more than his current valuation. Without renewal there will be pressure to transfer in the summer.

Foot Mercato established him as one of Europe’s leading goalkeepers.

Chelsea and Newcastle United can improve

The Blues have Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Gabriel Slonina as their three stoppers at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard lost his place in the starting lineup to Jorgensen at the start of the season, before regaining his place.

Both goalkeepers have failed to fully convince Chelsea, who may keep an eye on Gregor Cobel. This might be possible if Mike Penders or Dorsey Petrovic [both out on loan] Will not be considered.

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale and Mark Gillespie at St James’ Park. The contract of the former expires in 2027 while the contract of the latter is till this June.

Pope’s mixed performances led the Newcastle United coach to rely on Ramsdale, who is on loan from Southampton.

Considering the status of the trio, the Borussia Dortmund star could easily become the Magpies’ new No. 1 next season.

Victor Romero, father of Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Romero, has questioned recent transfer claims.

The Argentina international moved to Europe for the first time when Genoa signed him from Club Atlético Belgrano in 2018.

Since then, he has had stints with Juventus and Atalanta in Italy and La Dea sold him to Tottenham in 2020. Spurs initially signed the centre-back on loan and made his stay permanent a year later.

Last summer, Atletico Madrid wanted to sign the defender, but the Premier League team refused to do so and extended his contract.

The north London club have struggled this season and now sit 17th in the table, one point more than 18th-placed West Ham United. Earlier this week, Roberto De Zerbi became their third manager of the season.

Two months ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from Argentina That the 27-year-old will leave Spurs in the summer. Since then, there have been claims of interest from Atlético, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Surprising transfer option for Tottenham star

Argentinian journalist Fernando Lavechea told Radio Splendid, relayed by infobaeAbout a surprising claim regarding Christian Romero.

They reported on Friday that the World Cup winner wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur and return to Club Atlético Belgrano.

The defender is a product of the Argentinian club’s academy and spent two years with their first team before moving to Europe.

After Lavecchia reported this, series 3 Contacted Victor Romero to get his opinion about his son’s possible return.

“It’s a bomb that keeps getting bigger. I hope it’s true; as a Belgrano fan and a father, what more could I want, but I know nothing,” He said.

However, the Spurs star’s father is shocked by the claim. Victor explained: “Cutie isn’t one to make statements, so that surprises me.”

Also, Romero.SR is not closing the door to a possible transfer to his old club in the future.

“I don’t know anything, but anything can happen in football. Today you might be thinking about staying close to your family, and tomorrow they put a team together to win the championship and everything changes. I don’t want to lie,” He added.

Spurs want to recoup investment

The English club paid Atalanta around €50m to buy Cristian Romero in 2021.

His father now believes that Tottenham Hotspur would like to recoup the fee invested from the sale.

“He has two more years on his contract with Tottenham and the release clause is very high. The English club will not let him leave for free; it is between $50-70m [€43.4-60.6m]. For me, they would like to get their investment back,” Victor said.

Brighton and Hove Albion are once again working on the development path of Facundo Buonanot, with the midfielder – who is now at Leeds United and struggling – continuing to move between clubs as he builds experience in English football.

The 21-year-old moved to Leeds United in January after a brief spell back at Brighton from Chelsea. That sequence alone shows how the Seagals are handling him – carefully, but without assigning him a definite role yet.

His transfer to Chelsea last summer came somewhat unexpectedly. “When a big club like Chelsea comes, you can’t say no.”, He later revealed. But despite taking steps forward, he struggled to establish himself.

In the Premier League, he played only 45 minutes, with the majority of his involvements coming in cup competitions. There too, his influence remained limited, ending with only minor contributions.

The lack of rhythm has led them to their current position. Since arriving at Leeds United, Buonote has made only a handful of appearances and has yet to register a goal or assist. Once again, he finds himself adapting to a new environment rather than continuing to perform.

This stop-start trajectory is at odds with Brighton’s usual development model and raises questions about when, or where, he will eventually settle into a defined role.

South American interest emerges

Facundo Buonote’s next step is now being discussed outside England also.

River Plate is preparing itself for a move by manager Eduardo Coudet. Argentina’s coach knows the player and has already put his name forward internally, recognizing him as a creative option who can influence matches.

According to local journalist Mauro PalaciosI am speaking shredded tvThe interest is already pretty solid.

“River is going to enter the next transfer window for Facundo Buonote. He is 21 years old, and Coudet knows him. He belongs to an English club – Brighton”He said.

Coudet actually worked with him during his youth academy days at Rosario Central. And the reason behind that push was also explained, with a clear focus on her profile.

“He’s an attacking midfielder, a different kind of player. He’s a player who has goals, a guy who can win you games.”

There is also a deadline in mind, even if talks do not move forward immediately this summer.

“If it’s not in the middle of the year, he’s the player the Coudettes are waiting for at the end of the year.”

brighton remain in control

Facundo Buonanotte remains tied to Brighton until 2030, putting the Premier League club in a strong position.

They initially paid €6m (£5.2m) to sign him from Rosario Central in 2023, and his value has increased through consistent performances in England. Although their numbers are not explosive, they show progress and adaptability to multiple environments.

Given Brighton’s track record, another loan is more likely than a permanent sale at this stage. The club focuses on maximizing development before making definitive decisions on a player’s long-term role or transfer price.

Given how his spell at Leeds United has gone so far, Elland Road does not look to be a permanent home for Buonanotte.

River Plate’s interest adds a new layer to the situation, especially given Buonanot’s Argentine background. Nevertheless, any move will depend on Brighton’s wider strategy.

For now, the focus remains on leads and finishing the season strongly. What happens next will be decided on the south coast.

Jhon Lucumi is looking increasingly likely to leave Bologna in the summer, and Sunderland are very interested in a transfer after failing to hire him a few months ago.

The defender was in the news as a transfer marker for Bologna last summer. The Black Cats made an offer to sign him immediately after his release clause expired. Those times were unfortunate for the Premier League club.

Lukumi was very curious – as covered sports witness in the past, but Bologna managed to hold on to it. The Rossoblu were proud of their decision, even though the Colombian had refused a renewal beyond 2027.

Fast forward to now, and Lukumi has yet to commit to a new deal and is looking to depart in the summer.

There is still interest from Sunderland but there is a new contender in the race.

AS Roma in the hunt

Forzaroma’s francesco balzani It is reported that Lukumi will be a prize asset for the summer transfer window. The journalist is confident that Bologna will not force him to stay and that he will not sign any new agreements.

Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has had a ‘long-standing crush’ on the South American since his time at Atalanta. They also attempted to sign him last summer and now, with Ivan Ndika leaving, a deal could become possible.

Roma could make up to €40m from the Ivorian’s exit and use that money to sign Lucumi.

Their biggest hurdle is Sunderland, who remain interested. It is believed that Colombians have long been in love with the Italian capital and have often expressed this on social media. But he might also like to go to England – as happened last summer.

The Premier League and additional finance should change this.

Sunderland transfer competition heats up

Given that Lukumi’s contract expires in 2027, it is no surprise that competition for him is increasing. In January, even Manchester City were mentioned as contenders, but it felt like a fleeting interest based on injuries.

While Sunderland have made progress this year, Lukumi may feel like he must compete for silverware.

He won the Coppa Italia with Bologna last season, and has also been playing in Europe for two seasons now. Ideally this is why he might prefer to join a major club that guarantees him playing at a high level.

That said, he clearly fancied a transfer to Sunderland last summer and has since established himself further.

Brazilian wing-back Wesley has been one of AS Roma’s best players this season, attracting the attention of Tottenham and others. Even if the Italian side put up a wall, Spurs could get a discount on the deal.

The 22-year-old joined the Giallorossi for €25m last summer. This has proven to be a bit of a bargain, as Wesley fits perfectly into Gian Piero Gasperini’s system.

He has played 34 times in all competitions and contributed six goals. Apart from playing as a right wing-back, he has often been the first choice on the left.

This has made him a candidate to play at the World Cup with Brazil, having played regularly since arriving in Rome. Also, he is attracting the attention of many clubs.

Tottenham are among those interested in a transfer.

Roma are putting up barriers

sports witness Manchester City’s interest in Wesley has been covered before asromalive Please provide some more information.

The outlet says Tottenham are tracking the Brazil international, with Liverpool and Arsenal also in the running.

Roma are believed to have placed a price-tag of €60 million on the transfer, suggesting an unwillingness to sell him. This has led to the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City considering other targets but the same is not true for Spurs.

The price seems a bit inflated, as previous reports suggested a €50m valuation. This perhaps indicates that Roma are not in a strong negotiating position and a deal could be done for less than €60m.

Big transfer need could help Tottenham

As things stand, the Giallorossi are outside the top four in Serie A. They have always had issues with Financial Fair Play, having previously signed a settlement agreement with UEFA regarding this.

If they miss out on Europe, they will be desperate for a big sale. It could come in any number of forms, but if Tottenham offer around €50m, or perhaps €5m or even less, Roma will be tempted.

This may prove to be enough for him and his FFP fight. Furthermore, this amount is usually significant for Serie A clubs due to the obvious financial discrepancy between England and Italy.

So if Roberto De Zerbi’s side are serious about Wesley, he would fit perfectly into the Italian’s high-intensity system.

Hamburg board member Eric Heuer has made it clear that he wants to keep Arsenal’s Fabio Vieira.

The attacking midfielder joins the Gunners from FC Porto in June 2022 for €35m. He was not able to cement a place under Mikel Arteta in his first two seasons at the Emirates.

To put this in context, he played 1,886 minutes in 49 matches during that period, scoring three goals and providing 10 assists.

In August 2024, the player returned to Porto on a season-long loan. Last summer, Arsenal again sent him on loan, this time to the Bundesliga side with a €20m option to buy.

Two months ago, Sports Witness broadcast news That Hamburg will hold talks with Arteta’s side for the 25-year-old in April or May.

The decision depends on the Arsenal player

Hamburger AbendblattThe German club’s local newspaper has conducted a detailed interview with Eric Heuer. In Hamburg, he is in charge Their ‘Finance, Organization, Human Resources and Legal Affairs’.

The board member has praised sporting director Klaus Costa for securing loan deals for Fabio Vieira and Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vuckovic. The 19-year-old central defender has been a standout player for the club and has attracted the interest of several clubs.

“Last summer, we were looking for players in different positions. In defense and midfield, we brought Vuckovic and Vieira, two players we could only sign on loan,” He said.

“We also had candidates in both positions who we could have signed permanently despite a substantial transfer fee. However, I think we did not make any completely wrong decisions with Vuckovic and Vieira.

“In the end, Clough and his team did not exceed their budget, even in the winter transfer window, and yet they created a team that is more than competitive given the available market conditions.”

The newspaper immediately asked if the Arsenal-owned player could extend his stay.

Responding to that, Heover explained: “The situation is relatively comfortable. Fabio feels very comfortable in Hamburg, and I don’t feel that Arsenal are basing their long-term plans on him.”

“Fabio knows exactly what he has in Hamburg and HSV. Now the basic question is what the player wants. And if he wants to stay, we will sit down with the Arsenal management and discuss possible solutions, as we did with Sambi.”

“Then we will see if a transfer is possible. We are ready to experience special moments with Fabio in the long term. Whether it works and at what cost, we will see in the summer.”

Our take: Why won’t Hamburg activate the clause

Fabio Vieira’s Bundesliga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 22
• Start: 18
• Total minutes: 1,599
• Target: 5
• Assist: 5

The German club has the option to buy by activating the €20m clause, but is unlikely to take it up.

The Portuguese will have one year remaining on his Arsenal contract after this season. According to its value transfer marketIs €18m.

Eric Huver says he is not part of the Gunners’ long-term plans. Considering this and his contract situation, Hamburg will surely ask for a hefty discount to purchase him. This is only if the player wants to extend his stay.

Celta Vigo’s Oscar Mingueza has long been on Aston Villa’s transfer agenda.

The Premier League side then showed interest Monchi was a director In Villa Park.

They continue to keep track and in January, Sport Witness broadcast news Aston Villa director of football Roberto Olabay ‘revived’ his interest.

On February 11th, we Covered claims from Spain Unai Emery’s sides have been knocking on his door for months.

Aston Villa transfer incentives

Fast forward to April and The Voice of GaliciaCelta Vigo, a local newspaper, now covers the latest on Oscar Mingueza and also mentions Aston Villa and Juventus as his suitors.

The defender’s contract expires in June, and the La Liga side are making attempts to extend his stay.

Celta Vigo sporting director Marco Garces has confirmed they have offered the 26-year-old a renewal. He has not accepted it and is not likely to do so.

The right-back has parted ways with his long-time agent Josep Maria Orobitug and is now represented by British agency Unique Sports Group. Renewal negotiations have stalled due to a change of agents.

Celta Vigo believe he has made the best possible offer and will not push any further to keep him. Now it seems it’s Mingueza’s ‘time to go’ after this season.

Aston Villa and Juventus are among his suitors. The latest development should come as an incentive for interested parties to sign him for free.

uncheck The report also reports a change of agents and adds that Celta Vigo’s offer also includes a salary of €4m per year. However, the La Liga side have not been able to pay the offers made by English clubs.

He is attracting interest from Juventus and the Premier League, without mentioning any clubs.

This coupled with the lack of progress in the renewal results at Celta Vigo has left hopes of retaining the former Barcelona man.

The Spaniard will not lack options

Aston Villa have prepared themselves for a transfer, having already made contact.

However, Oscar Mingueza will not lack for options and is likely to decide on his future after analyzing all the offers.

Unai Emery’s team will have to tempt him with their financial offer and sporting project.

Real Madrid winger Franco Mastantuono has opened the door for compatriot Enzo Fernandez to join the club from Chelsea this summer.

Marca reports 18-year-old’s comments The Real Madrid winger was asked by journalists in Argentina about a potential move to Fernandez this summer.

Mastantuono’s airport moment goes viral

Fresh from Argentine duty during the international break, Franco Mastantuño was mobbed by journalists at Aziza airport.

The questions to him were straightforward, including whether he would like Enzo Fernandez to join him at Real Madrid.

“Franco, you can have Enzo as a teammate, what does that mean? Would you like that?” Journalists asked him.

“Of course I will,” He replied.

Journalists pressed him again, suggesting that Enzo’s recent comments about Real Madrid were a sign Mastantuno shrugged it off as best he could.

“He said he would like to stay in Madrid, that’s a sign, isn’t it?” There was a second question.

“Honestly, I don’t know anything.” He replied. The clip has since spread across Argentina, bringing the Fernandez rumors back into the spotlight.

Chelsea’s future has become a big topic of discussion in Argentina

Enzo Fernandez’s future at Chelsea has become one of the main topics in Argentina during this international break.

He and his wife have made statements hinting at a move to Real Madrid, with the midfielder admitting that he would like to stay in Madrid.

“I would like to live there and experience, I don’t know. I really like Madrid; it reminds me a lot of Buenos Aires,” He said on this subject.

This has reopened the window for a possible transfer this summer. There were reports linking Real Madrid with a move last summer and a midfield rebuild could also take place this summer. The player has also hinted at unrest behind the scenes.

Franco Mastantuono’s comments will only add fuel to the fire. In fairness, it seemed like he was aware of it and was clearly trying to deflect attention. It appears that this is something that has failed miserably.

Ever since Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United, things have looked increasingly uncertain for them. The Dutchman could eventually seal his departure in the summer, with discussions already underway.

In December and January, sports witness AS Roma’s interest in the striker was closely covered.

They were interested in an initial loan with an option to buy the deal. Manchester United, on the other hand, were only seeking a permanent transfer or loan with an obligation to buy.

Roma could never meet these demands, even though Zirkzee had already agreed personal terms on a switch.

Since that failed transfer, things haven’t changed much for the forward. Now, Napoli are attempting to land him.

discussion is going on

of napolimagazine Emanuele Cammarotto have reported on the 24-year-old who Napoli manager Antonio Conte really likes.

Moise Kean along with Joshua Zirkzee is the Italian’s priority for the summer, and a deal is already being done.

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna is believed to have had ‘important discussions’ with Zirkzee’s squad over a summer transfer. At the moment, Manchester United are demanding a fee of €40m to let the striker leave.

Meanwhile, Napoli are optimistic about their chances of getting a waiver. They have to study the deal closely before taking a formal approach. There is also optimism that there may be more developments on this front soon.

Napoli could be ideal for Zirkzee

There may only be one proven striker in Antonio’s team next season. Romelu Lukaku is likely to leave and Lorenzo Lucca also has no future at Naples. This is why Joshua Zirkzee could become an important signing, with the player likely to get regular playing time at Napoli.

That has not been the case at Manchester United, where he has not made a single start in 2026. He also had an injury issue at the beginning of the year which derailed his progress. Michael Carrick has also used Brian Mbuemo as a striker in the absence of Benjamin Cesco.

It says everything about Zirkzee, who must now be desperate to leave Old Trafford.

Rangers and Wolverhampton Wanderers are among the clubs that have shown interest in a transfer to BK Hacken’s Silas Andersen. Danny Rohl’s side were keen to bring him to Ibrox in the winter market, but no decision could be reached.

Back in January, Sport Witness Covered claims from Denmark Rangers are ahead of Celtic in the transfer race.

It is unclear whether Rohl’s side are still keen to acquire the player’s services in the summer. If the Ibrox club is in the mix, they will face competition from Wolves and others.

On March 21, Khel Sakshi Covered claims from Sweden Premier League team wants to bring him with them Molineux after this season.

The midfielder joined the Swedish club from FC Utrecht in January 2025 and made 46 appearances, scoring six goals and three assists.

His league statistics last year are as follows:

• Appearances: 26
• Start: 24
• Total minutes: 2,183
• Minutes per game: 84
• Duels won per game: 7.4
• Balls recovered per game: 7.0
• Tackles per game: 3.2
• Clearance: 3.3

Last month, the 21-year-old signed a new contract, which runs until December 2029.

Rangers and Wolves transfer interest

bold Now report Danny Roehl’s Rangers, Wolverhampton Wanderers and FC Köln are set to sign Silas Andersson in January. BK Hacken also rejected the DKK 30m [€4m] Offer from German club.

The Denmark U21 international, for his part, signed an extension.

He represented his country in the last international break, giving Bould a chance to chat with him. They point to Rangers, Wolves and FC Köln links, and ask him what inspired him to sign an extension.

“Hacken thought I did well and showed a lot. He thought I deserved a little more pocket money, if you can call it that way. We had a little chat about a possible extension and it soon fell into place.” He said.

“I was very happy with what they presented me. I think it was about rewarding me for what I’ve done at the club – they wanted to give a bit back.”

“I’m really happy playing here. This is where I found success and that’s still continuing. When I came here we made a plan, which was that I would play a lot of games and develop myself.”

According to Bould, the plan is to change clubs in the next window and this will not change with the new contract.

This gives Rangers and Wolves a fresh opportunity to sign him and recent claims from Sweden state side Rob Edwards have him in the mix for the summer.

Contract, price and agent information

transfer market Silas Andersen was valued at €2m, and in January, BK Hacken became sporting director. Martin Ericsson emphasized His side are not ruling out selling him for SEC 100m [€9.2m].

Aston Villa’s growing interest in Ibrahim Mbaye is now being supported by reports coming from France, with the forward’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain beginning to attract wider attention.

Aston Villa have made a habit of tracking young attackers across Europe. When a path opens, they start moving forward. In Mbaye’s case, his reduced role at Paris Saint-Germain could pave the way.

The 18-year-old is highly rated internally in Paris. He is powerful, direct and tactically sharp for his age. These qualities make him a natural fit for Premier League football. However, his actions declined at a critical stage of his development.

This is where the current noise begins to form.

France supports Premier League interest

according to TeamIbrahim Mbaye is expected to receive approaches this summer, with England highlighted as a possible destination.

The French outlet says his playing time has decreased significantly under Luis Enrique. That situation is already raising questions about his short-term future.

Interest from the Premier League is nothing new. The clubs made contact in January, but PSG refused to entertain any discussions. Since then, the context has changed slightly, even though the club’s public stance has remained firm.

Aston Villa are now among those positioning themselves. From their perspective, Mbaye represents a classic market opportunity. A young player, strong international momentum, but limited appearances at the club.

There have also been links to Manchester City. Reports suggest he visited their facilities, although his entourage has denied that claim. Still, the level of interest around him is palpable.

International format strengthens the case

Ibrahim Mbaye’s performances with the Senegal national team continue to push his profile upwards.

He recently provided one goal and one assist in matches against Peru and Gambia. This followed a promising Africa Cup of Nations campaign earlier this year. As a result, his international trajectory looks far more stable than his club role.

Luis Enrique has insisted that the club still believes in him. He highlighted the confidence given to Mbye and suggested that his time would come. Still, lack of minutes remains a major issue.

At the age of 18, regular football often dictates the next step. Without it, even top prospects start looking elsewhere.

busy summer is coming

Ibrahim Mbaye’s priority remains PSG. This has not changed publicly. However, L’Equipe’s reporting reinforces the idea that he is now watching the market more closely.

If his situation does not improve before the summer, Premier League clubs are likely to act quickly. Aston Villa already appear to be alert to that possibility.

For now, it remains a nascent movement rather than a defined conversation. Still, the combination of fewer minutes and outside interest is starting to create a familiar transfer pattern.

Aston Villa have made their transfer plans for the summer, the player has been described as ‘meteoric rise’.

The New England Patriots are still looking to improve after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. New England has signed wide receiver Romeo Doubs, offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker and others. However, the Patriots are looking for a top wide receiver, and the NFL believes they will get one.

NFL officials expect the Patriots to acquire wide receiver AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles in June, as The Athletic’s Mike Sandow reports. This will happen after June 1 as it will make more sense from a financial point of view. The Eagles would save approximately $30 million if they traded Brown after June 1 instead of before.

New England needs a true elite wide receiver, and while Dobbs is a nice pickup, Brown is a superstar. The Eagles wide receiver has concerns about his knee and character, leading the Patriots to go with his former head coach, Mike Vrabel, as the top landing spot.

Potential trade package from AJ Brown to the New England Patriots

The Patriots and Eagles need to find a middle ground in trade talks for Brown. Philadelphia wants a first-round pick and a second-round pick; However, New England has not met the demands. Instead, both sides are likely to wait until June 1 to find the best package.

After signing Dobbs, the Patriots must offer a second-round pick, a fourth-round pick and wide receiver Keyshawn Bout. New England will have a wide receiver room of Brown, Dobbs, Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas, Afton Chism and any other additions from the 2026 NFL Draft.

If the Patriots acquire Brown, Boute would be expendable and in return would give the Eagles a deep threat. If Philadelphia wants to replace Brown and make a push for the Super Bowl, the 23-year-old wide receiver would be an excellent option. Also, the organization will receive a selection in return.

If Boutte is not moved, the Patriots must trade a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick to complete the deal. The two teams could also exchange lower round picks to make it a little more attractive for Philadelphia. Perhaps the Patriots could send a fifth-round pick while receiving a seventh-round pick.

There are several ways for the Browns to complete the trade. Whether it’s just a package of draft picks or another player is included, a deal has to be made for New England and Philadelphia. The Patriots want Brown, and NFL officials expect the trade to be completed in June.

West Ham United’s move for Taty Castellanos in January was aimed at adding a proven attacking option, but life in east London has not progressed as expected.

The Argentine arrived with a solid reputation built at Lazio. However, his early months in England have been mixed. Minutes have been limited, and consistency has been harder to find as he adapts to the Premier League, even with three goals scored so far.

There has already been extensive discussion on that background. As covered earlier todayThe Italian press used Castellanos’ transfer as an example of the growing financial gap between Serie A and the Premier League. From his perspective, the move itself demonstrates how English clubs can pick up established players with relative ease.

He also suggested that despite the financial benefits involved, the Switch is a step down from a gaming standpoint.

Now the same transfer has started creating a different kind of noise.

Long-standing admiration reawakened

Flamengo are once again keeping a close eye on the West Ham striker and their interest is not new.

Back in February, we covered that Castellanos had already been appreciated internally for a long time at the club. At the time, any move depended on very specific circumstances, including West Ham’s league position and the player’s desire to move. But now things seem to have changed.

According to latest reports Bolavip In Brazil, Flamengo have resumed monitoring the situation and may consider a move in the next transfer window. The club is actively searching for a new striker and have identified this role as a priority.

Importantly, Castellanos’ name is expected to be presented to manager Leonardo Jardim for evaluation. Their approval will be important before any formal approach can be considered.

There is also a recent connection between the clubs which could smooth any potential negotiations. Flamengo has already done business with West Ham lucas paquetaThis suggests that there is an open line of communication between both parties.

The same applies in the opposite direction, with the Hammers previously linked with the Flamengo forward Gonzalo PlataThis further shows that a dialogue already exists between the clubs.

West Ham transfer position opening up?

Taty Castellanos’s situation at West Ham United is still developing, but the lack of a strong hold so far inevitably arouses interest.

Flamengo’s stance has now gone beyond a purely hypothetical scenario. The Brazilian team is planning a post-World Cup campaign between July and September and has set aside a budget for a centre-forward.

Castellanos fits the profile they want. His time at Lazio reflected his intensity, pressing ability and presence in the box. Those attributes remain attractive, even if his Premier League spell hasn’t quite panned out yet.

The main difference from the start of the year is that relegation is no longer being held as a stricture. Instead, it looks like a club that is keeping a close eye and waiting for the right opening.

what happens next

For West Ham, this remains a manageable situation for now. The focus will be on integrating Castellanos and helping him adapt. However, outside interest is clearly growing, and Flamengo’s long-term admiration is not waning.

If his role in the team does not increase significantly, the summer window could bring a decision. For Flamengo, it’s all about timing and opportunity.

For West Ham, it may soon become a question of whether the January signings will turn into a short-term experiment. With the Hammers currently in the drop zone, demotion would certainly increase the chances.

Aston Villa will face a battle to pry Alejandro Balde from Barcelona this summer, with the left-back not yet considering an exit.

AS report on Defender todayWho is a client of George Mendes. The Portuguese super-agent is preparing for a busy summer at Camp Nou.

The newspaper reports that last year he was sorting out Lamin Yamal’s contract situation, this year other matters will be prioritized. Balde is one of those players whose future needs to be sorted out.

transfer interest every summer

Alejandro Balde Jorge Mendes is the third name on the list. He appears on the transfer list almost every summer and this will be no different.

A report in late March said that Aston VillaManchester City and Manchester United have already made contacts for the 22-year-old.

AS reports that Barcelona would benefit from the sale as one of his options to raise funds for his own business this summer. Transfermarkt currently values ​​him at €55 million, which represents a huge profit for Barcelona on a homegrown player.

The newspaper then added that interest from the two Manchester clubs as well as Aston Villa has ’emerged’ in recent days.

Barcelona is not pushing for a sale

Although the sale of Alejandro Balde would bring money to Barcelona, ​​neither sporting director Deco nor manager Hansi Flick are pushing for a sale. They’re both counting on him moving forward.

The player is also not ready to leave at this time. This could have changed if there was a change in plans regarding his role within the team.

In other words, if his role changes, he will consider his future. This season he has been in the first team 62% of the time in La Liga and featured in 58% of available minutes. He has similar numbers in the Champions League also.

These numbers don’t suggest he’s set in his plans, but it seems like everyone is happy with the situation at the moment. Whether that changes remains to be seen.

But his current deal expires in 2028, so Barcelona need to make a decision this summer. They won’t want a valuable asset entering the final year of his deal next summer.

Despite Barcelona’s claims to be against the sale, the story is being pursued in Spain. From the transfer precedent with the Catalan club, this would mean that they are open to offers but do not want it to be revealed as their consideration.

Aston Villa will be well aware of the situation.

Manchester United are firmly in the mix for Eintracht Frankfurt’s breakout star Nathaniel Brown, with the German club privately admitting that a summer exit is certain.

The 22-year-old left-back has burst onto the European scene after making an impressive full debut for Germany in the 2-1 win over Ghana. That performance received praise from Joshua Kimmich.

Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Kroesch also declared that Brown was already one of the best fullbacks in Europe. For image.

Manchester United have been keeping an eye on him all season, and the timing couldn’t be better. With the club looking for a new long-term left-back, Brown is an attractive option.

€65-70m transfer incoming

Markus Kroes are demanding between €65-70m for the Germany international this summer. This will make him the most expensive left-back in the world.

The possibility of transfer is increasing. Bild has learned that no one in Frankfurt thinks Brown will stay this summer. There is acceptance that he is ‘very good’.

There are many world-class clubs including Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool to name a few. Manchester United is also in the mix.

A report in November Added him to the list of fans. It was revived last month at a cost of €60 million It has been described as a perfect fit for Eintracht Frankfurt.

No concrete talks have taken place yet. The Browns will decide their future after the season. He’s focusing less on money and more on who offers him the best prospects. He wants playing time.

manchester united perspective

Manchester United can certainly give the 22-year-old regular playing time. They have been in need of a left-back for some time and this will be the position they will target this summer.

€60 million is a big price, but Brown could play in this role for a decade or more. He is a long-term prospect and is already proving his worth at this point.

Lazio were almost forced to sell Tatty Castellanos to West Ham in January. This deal helped them financially – as covered sports witnessBut it is now seen as a symbol of the failings of Italian football.

The Azzurri would miss another World Cup, creating a unique piece of history. No other World Cup-winning nation before Italy has failed to qualify for three editions of the tournament.

It is clear that a lot of things are wrong with sports in the country. Serie A has come a long way from the days when it was competing to be Europe’s top league, and Premier League clubs easily pick up players.

lazio channel Take a closer look at West Ham’s move for Castellanos, claiming it is an example of how English football has moved beyond Serie A.

Disbelief about Castellanos for West Ham

The outlet says that even though West Ham have placed their confidence in the Argentine, he has been playing in European competitions in Rome. Lazio is not a small club by any means and has played in the Champions League twice since 2020.

This is why the move to the Hammers is seen as a ‘deterioration’ for Castellanos. He believes the attacker deserves better than fighting relegation in London and is capable of playing in the higher reaches.

But due to the nature of Italian football, he proved a convenient signing for West Ham, who spent €30m for the player.

It is also noted that Castellanos’ value has likely increased since leaving Lazio. Even though the Hammers are struggling with the decline, playing in England has helped the Argentine.

Our Opinion: Gulf Clear

Financially, Italian football has been struggling for years. Serie A teams have fewer revenue sources than Premier League teams, as they earn much less from broadcasting deals. The income from stadium revenues is also very low, making it difficult for them to recoup potential capital gains from player sales.

West Ham’s signing of Castellanos is truly emblematic of the problem.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side signed a proven attacker at European level for an affordable fee. Despite being a so-called big club in Italy, Lazio has never paid this.

In fact, Lazio’s seven most expensive arrivals date back more than 20 years Transfer Market. They paid more than €50m for Hernan Crespo in 2020 and they haven’t even got half of that in recent years.

The fact that Castellanos has three goals in all competitions already says a lot about his qualities. Once again, Serie A cannot compete with the finances of the Premier League.

Famalicão defender Ibrahima Ba’s agent Aliouane Seck has responded to transfer interest from other clubs including Aston Villa.

The centre-back joined the Portuguese club on a permanent move in July 2024 and spent his first season with their reserve team. Therefore, he had to wait until the end of that season to make his first-team debut.

Ba has been with the Famalicão’s first team this season and his form has attracted the attention of Aston Villa and others.

The Senegalese has made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Primeira Liga side this season.

His per game statistics in the league are as follows:

• Interception: 1.6
• Tackle: 1.0
• Recovered balls: 3.4
• Dribbled past: 0.06
• Clearance: 4.3
• Blocked Shots: 0.8
• Duel won: 3.9
• Errors in reaching target: 0

Earlier this week, Sport Witness broadcast news Unai Emery’s side and Stade Rennais have both expressed interest in the defender. The same source said FC Porto, Sporting, SC Braga, Benfica and Vitória Guimarães are also interested.

Two days earlier, the Portuguese club rewarded him with a new contract until 2030.

Agent on renewal and future plans

Africa Foot spoke with Ibrahima Ba’s agent Aliyoun Seck to discuss his latest renewal and other topics.

Asked what convinced Ba to sign an extension with Famalicão, he said: “Ibrahima Ba’s contract extension is primarily motivated by a desire for stability and progress. Famalicão offers him an ideal environment to continue developing, with a clear sporting project and real trust of the staff. Ibrahima feels at home here. He gets playing time and responsibilities, which is necessary at this stage of his career.

The outlet reports that Benfica Lisbon, Sporting CP, FC Porto, Vitoria Guimaraes, Aston Villa and Stade Rennais are all ready to sign the 20-year-old.

The agent is not surprised that these clubs are showing interest and will not close the door on a summer exit.

“It’s normal that a player attracts the attention of big clubs with his ability and performances. This shows that he is on the right track. Of course, we are keeping a close eye on the market, but there is no rush. He will finish the season and we will see what happens after that.” Sec explained.

This makes it quite clear that they are almost expecting a transfer in the summer window, or at least making serious efforts towards it.

Our View: Aston Villa Sports Project Key

Despite the renewal, the Premier League team can still snatch Ibrahima Ba from Famalicão in the summer.

To do this, Aston Villa must propose a solid project where the defender can progress and continue his development under Unai Emery.

The manager now has Ezri Konsa, Victor Lindelof, Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres as his four centre-backs at Villa Park. However, the Villans are unlikely to make a move for Ba unless one of the current centre-backs leaves after this season.

AFC Bournemouth forward Ryan’s rapid rise to England is no longer just about adaptation – it is now attracting transfer interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal.

The 19-year-old arrived from Vasco da Gama in January and has wasted little time in making an impact. He has already played eight times for Bournemouth in seven matches, and has contributed two goals and one assist.

Those numbers tell only part of the story. Ryan has established himself as a consistent attacking threat in the Premier League, using his pace, strength and direct running to trouble defenders. His performances earned him a place on Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list and soon after, first senior call-up.

That call-up has also increased his visibility across Europe. report from brazil have already indicated that clubs such as real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United And armory Keeping a close eye on his situation.

Interest from big clubs

Ryan has now addressed that growing attention directly.

“It’s every player’s dream to be on the top shelf,” He said in an interview globo esporte. “Bournemouth presented me with a very good project. By doing good work there, whether other clubs are watching or not, they will take notice.”

His comments show awareness of the situation without suggesting any immediate steps. However, they also underline how drastically his profile has changed since arriving in England.

Both armory And Manchester United Ryan had already been linked with a move to Bournemouth. His strong adaptation to the Premier League now makes him an even more attractive option for clubs operating in that environment.

Therefore, there remains interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Rapid adaptation attracts attention

Part of that growing interest is explained by How quickly Ryan has adjustedBoth on and off the pitch.

“It’s not easy to get there and adapt quickly,” He said. “Going out of the heat and into the cold… coming off the bench in the first game and getting an assist gave me confidence. Then getting the start and scoring the equalizing goal boosted that confidence even more.”

The forward also highlighted the role Bournemouth played in his development.

“The manager gives me a lot of freedom. He’s Spanish, so the language helps. In three months I managed to show my potential with good football and that’s what brought me here.”

That combination of opportunity and performance has accelerated his trajectory.

World Cup ambition remains

Despite growing transfer noise, Ryan remains focused on his international opportunity.

“There is a lot of competition in my position, a lot of good players who have been called up before,” He said. “But doing my job at Bournemouth could put me in the final list. Whether I stay there or not, I will support Brazil. But I hope to hear my name called.”

At 19, he also believes that his long-term cycle may be more aligned with the 2030 World Cup. Nevertheless, his current form has opened the door earlier than expected.

Now Bournemouth have a young attacker who is quickly adapting to the Premier League, earning a call-up to Brazil and attracting the attention of elite clubs.

If Ryan continues on this path, interest from Arsenal and Manchester United is unlikely to wane. Instead, it could move higher as the market begins to move higher.

When Stoke City came calling in the January transfer window, it didn’t take long for Milan Smit to make up his mind.

The Dutch striker says his move in January was a “dream” opportunity that came suddenly, escalated quickly and simply could not be turned down. He tells everything to Voetbal Primeur today.

A move that changed everything

Milan Smit has been impressing for the Netherlands since joining the Go Ahead Eagles in 2024, with 13 goals and five assists in 54 games.

He also impressed at SC Cambuur, scoring 28 goals and six assists in 63 games for them. That European form had already put him on many radars, but the defining moment for the 23-year-old came the day before the clash with Ajax.

“My agent called and said: There is a club that has serious interest. I immediately asked if the match against Ajax could be my last match for Go Ahead. ‘That could be the case,’ he replied.

“I think everyone knows Stoke City. At the time, the club was very close to the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League. That’s really Stoke’s ambition.

“My girlfriend was sitting next to me when my agent called. I immediately told her: I just have to do this.”

good audition, bad exit

He scored in that game against Ajax, helping secure a tie with Stoke the following day.

“I met Stoke the day after the match against Ajax. It’s good if you show what you are capable of.” He laughs.

“This interest was a surprise to everyone, including me. I wasn’t planning on going this winter at all… When something like this comes up in the winter, you shouldn’t hesitate.”

It took nine days to sort out the transfer. When Go Ahead traveled to face OGC Nice they decided not to play. That decision didn’t turn out well, but he justifies it.

“If you play, you’re just taking a risk. I didn’t want to take that, because it was a great deal to me that I didn’t want to miss out on. It was a train I had to jump on.”

Why was Stoke City the perfect fit?

Stoke City had some explaining to do. He needed to sell Stryker on his project and make sure his expectations matched his ambitions.

Fortunately for the Championship side, both sets of ambitions aligned.

“Naturally, you want to hear the club’s plans and ambitions,” He said.

“Really it’s all in line with what I wanted. They wanted to sign me as their first-choice striker. They see me as a potential Premier League player. That gave me a lot of confidence and I wanted to come here.

“Stoke said they were chasing me since last season, if I’m fit, I want to play every game.”

A warm club with big ambitions

Asked to describe the club, Milan Smit doesn’t hesitate. “It’s a very warm-hearted club… It’s kind of a team of friends, and I really appreciate that.”

Despite an impressive return of two goals and one assist in 11 games so far, he can already feel his improvement. He has his sights set on progress, especially the Premier League.

“I signed a contract here for four and a half years and I hope to take the next step within two and a half or three years. I’ve always said Serie A, but I also think England is incredibly beautiful.” He added.

“If I had to name one league I would say the Premier League.”

Milan Smit is settling off the pitch

The forward is settling into his Stoke City life on and off the pitch. Naturally, given that Stoke is not a big city, he has been spending some of his free time in Manchester.

Living alone, Smit is enjoying life despite being away from his girlfriend.

“Stoke is not the best city to live, haha. Most people live in and around Manchester. I live fifteen minutes from Manchester and I’m really happy here. My girlfriend lives and studies in the Netherlands, but she has enough free time to come here regularly,” Smit said.

“It’s good. I was practically living with her in Deventer, so it takes some time to get used to doing everything alone again. However, I’m okay with being alone. Sometimes it’s actually quite nice.”

RB Leipzig sensation Yann Diomande has detailed his battle to reach the top, as he eyes a move to Liverpool in the future.

Sportbild had a big interview with the 19-year-old todayIn which he has given details of his struggle to reach where he is today.

Diomande left his family for football

Yann Diomande has become one of the Bundesliga’s breakout stars since joining Leipzig in a €20m deal last summer. Since then, he has scored 11 goals and eight assists in 29 games in all competitions.

It’s rapid progress for a young player who was playing for the U.S. team DME Academy four years ago. He joined CD Leganés in Spain in January 2025 and then moved to Germany last summer.

He is now being linked with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, with Leipzig valuing him at €100m. Diomande also admitted at the beginning of the year He wants to play for Liverpool somedayint.

Diomande could not have been more blunt, saying: “I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!”

However, for now he is being patient. “I still have big goals. Everything comes in its time,” He said.

childhood struggle

Diomande grew up in harsh conditions in Abidjan. His father moved to France, leaving the family in a cramped house with very little money. Football became his escape.

“I left my family and went to a village where I could play,” he explained. “This was my passion and a chance to achieve something.”

However, football was not easy at that time. The pitches were scorched and most of the children were playing wearing sandals. Diomande did the same, until an academy coach gave him his first real shoes. He even slept at the coach’s house because home life was very difficult.

Despite his struggles, his talent blossomed and he was soon offered admission to Yulee High School in Florida. But his family could only afford one ticket, meaning he went alone. That came with its own challenges.

“I was far away from my family, friends and my country. It was very difficult in the beginning. Of course, everything in America was different from Africa.

“Plus, there was a huge time difference, so we weren’t able to talk to each other very often. I arrived there and couldn’t speak a word of English. But I learned the language on my own within a few months using the Duolingo app.”

“In America, people mainly like football and basketball. But when I played on the football team there, more and more spectators came. They wanted to watch me and my friends and have liked football ever since. It made me proud.”

Europe’s stance

In early 2025, Spanish side Leganés offered him a contract. Yann Diomande did not hesitate.

“When you come from Africa, it’s a big opportunity for you and your whole family. You know, as a child, I always told them at home that I would be a professional footballer. I kept my word. It makes me incredibly proud that I can support my family at such a young age.”

Not long ago, he was making his debut against Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe. “I was so excited that I didn’t think about it before or after.

“I couldn’t sleep, I was promoted to the first team just two days before the game, and I never dreamed they would include me in the squad against Real Madrid. When they told me, I was extremely happy and immediately called my mother.”

Liverpool in the future?

Now the focus is on the future. Whether he will remain at RB Leipzig after the summer is uncertain.

A report in late March emphasized that Liverpool ready to make move to sign him As a replacement for Mohamed Salah. Either way Diomande has big ambitions.

“My brother once told me that I should win everything there is to win. And that’s exactly what I’m trying to do: I want to win every title someday. And I know I can do it.”

Celta Vigo are stepping up their plans for next season, which include bringing back forward Fer López from Wolves at the end of his loan transfer spell.

Faro de Vigo’s report on the Wolves midfielder today And how the Spanish club are working to ensure they don’t lose him at the end of the season.

According to the newspaper, everyone wants the 21-year-old player to remain at the club next season and Celta is exploring all possible formulas to retain him.

This includes loans with a mandatory purchase condition. But the reality is that any deal will be complex.

Wolves won’t let €23m signing go cheap

Wolves paid €23m to sign Fer López last summer and he is under contract until 2030.

Despite his struggles at Molineux, they are unwilling to let him go without recouping a significant amount of that investment.

He rejected a long-term loan deal in January before eventually agreeing to a six-month deal.

Lopez has little desire to play in the Championship, however, a factor Celta are hoping to take advantage of. They are also hoping for help from Lopez’s agent, Jorge Mendes. He still holds some power over Wolves to influence such a deal.

options on the table

The Spanish club is working on several scenarios for the transfer:

1. Direct loan extension – The simplest route is a season-long loan in which Celta covers the salaries and pays the fees. Fer Lopez will have to take a pay cut.
2. A loan with an option to buy – essentially a softer version of a permanent deal, giving Celta flexibility while keeping Wolves safe.
3. Loan with mandatory purchase condition – the most realistic route to a deal. Celta will commit to the purchase of Fer López next summer, while Wolves will retain a higher percentage of any future sale.
4. Direct transfer – Celta bought him outright. This option is considered unlikely unless Wolves dramatically reduce their demands for the midfielder.

Why are wolves ready to negotiate?

Wolves are ready to be in talks over Fer Lopez after disappointing performances in England earlier this year. He played only 330 minutes in nine matches with three different managers and failed to find his place under any of them.

His loan to Celta was seen as an opportunity to rebuild value, and the player has done so. He is a key player in Celta’s plans and is impressing week in and week out.

The Spanish side want him permanently and Lopez also wants the move. But Wolves want their money back, or at least a good chunk of it. At this time, Celta would not commit to it.

Thus, all three parties need to find a middle ground that suits everyone, so various options are now being considered to make the agreement successful.

Portsmouth’s decision on Gustavo Caballero is gradually becoming more complicated. The winger’s position is now shaped by club performances, international recognition and rising market expectations.

The 24-year-old joined Portsmouth on loan from Santos earlier this season. The deal already included a clear path to a permanent transfer.

As explained in detail earlierIf Caballero reaches a set number of league appearances, the Championship side can trigger a buyout clause.

That position is considered achievable, and the structure gives Portsmouth some control. If activated, the clause would pay them approximately £4.25 million (€5 million) for 80% of the player’s rights. The remaining percentage is kept elsewhere.

Since arriving in England, Caballero has begun to settle in. He has made 10 Championship appearances, scoring once against Millwall – and is increasingly being used on the left wing. His minutes have increased continuously. This reflects the confidence of the coaching staff as he adapts to the physical demands of the league.

Off the pitch, the winger has also spoken positively about his debut. In a recent interview with Paraguayan radioHe described English football as intense and competitive, while emphasizing his focus on earning minutes and adapting tactically.

That progress has not gone unnoticed internationally. Paraguay manager Gustavo Alfaro Caballero has already been highlighted As a player on their radar, his development since leaving Santos was praised and his renewed consistency in England was pointed to as a major factor.

World Cup factor puts pressure on decision

The situation with Gustavo Caballero is now taking on another layer. This could have a direct impact on the long-term plans of Portsmouth.

according to Latest reports in BrazilSantos is actively monitoring its development with a view to future sales. The expectation internally is that the value of the Caballero may increase in the coming months. This is especially true due to his increasing involvement with the Paraguay national team.

He was recently called up and featured briefly in a friendly, and there is belief that he could be part of the squad for the 2026 World Cup. This prospect represents a clear market dynamic.

Santos is not planning to reinstate the player to their team. Instead, they are presenting him as a potential sale, hoping that international performances – coupled with his time in England – will increase his value ahead of the next transfer window.

What does this mean for Portsmouth

Gustavo Caballero’s trajectory puts Portsmouth in a favorable but time-sensitive position.

The current agreement gives them a set price and a controllable trigger through appearances. However, external factors are now forming around the player. Increased visibility with Paraguay and the prospect of a World Cup could push his valuation above the current trend.

For Portsmouth, this creates an obvious incentive. Securing a player ahead of that potential growth would represent a controlled investment in a growing asset. He is already adapting to the Championship.

Additionally, the club would like more evidence on the pitch. Caballero is still early in its optimization, and although the signs are positive, sustainability will likely determine whether the segment is active or not.

Therefore, the coming weeks will bring additional load. Each appearance not only brings him closer to the trigger point, but also increases the possibility that Portsmouth may need to take action before the wider market.

Liverpool attempted to sign Denzel Dumfries in the January transfer window, and Aston Villa can now take advantage of the Netherlands international’s transfer status in the summer.

sports witness Covered Liverpool’s late approach for the defender in the winter transfer window. This was also confirmed by Beppe Marotta, but Dumfries remained among the Serie A league leaders due to Inter’s failure to sign Ivan Perisic.

So far this season, the right-back has played 20 times in all competitions, with injury having reduced his playing time.

Since returning, he has shown his importance to the team by starting each of the last two Serie A games.

Even if he appears to be more convincing to Cristian Chivu than Luis Henrique, Dumfries could leave the Nerazzurri. Aston Villa is one of the clubs who could take advantage of the opportunity, with Liverpool still in there.

Dumfries’ release clause is attracting clubs

interest Reports on the Netherlands international have made it clear that his future at Inter is in danger.

Ideally, the Nerazzurri would like to keep him but Dumfries has a release clause of €25m. It will be active from July, with the 29-year-old having recently changed agents. Even if Inter want him to stay, they won’t have complete control.

Furthermore, Aston Villa sees this as a big opportunity and is competing with Liverpool and Manchester City for the player’s signature.

Inter is aware of all this and is already looking for a possible replacement. Atalanta’s Marco Palestra is on their shortlist. Moussa Diaby is also being considered, having been aggressively pursued in January.

agent games potentially running

It is not the first time Aston Villa have been linked with a move to Dumfries.

Since he recently changed agents and his contract expires in 2028, this is a convenient way to help Dumfries earn one final, major contract. He is 29 and declining, injuries now slowly catching up with him.

At one point, he could have been an excellent signing for Aston Villa or even Liverpool. Now, there is a lot of risk involved.

Furthermore, Dumfries is not a creative right-back. He is more of a receiver in the final third and this has been consistently seen at Inter. Having a player like him would require Unai Emery to adjust his current system significantly.

Pierre Kalulu, Francisco Conceição and Khefren Thuram have become some of Juventus’ most important players over the past season, and all three players are emerging as targets of interest for Liverpool.

last week, sports witness Italy’s claims regarding their interest in the French defender were covered up. The idea was actually put forward by Il Giornale, with Manchester United also mentioned as a suitor.

This comes just after the Portuguese winger was mentioned as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Conceicao yourself addressed In the conversation it was made clear that he is happy in Turin. Liverpool have made the first contact for him but a deal is not expected to be easy.

Speculation about this has increased in Italy itself gazzetta dello sport Look especially at the Reds’ potential buying spree in Turin.

Liverpool want three Juve players

The newspaper believes the Reds’ sirens are ‘sounding loudly’ at the Bianconeri. While Juve will not want to sell their key players, failure to make the top four could potentially force their hand.

He starts with Conceicao, who is being seen as a replacement for Salah. The winger arrived in Turin for a fee of up to €32m – including loan fee. To execute the sale, they would need €20m to €25m more. Earnings of around €50m will help them realize huge capital gains.

The price is likely to be lower for Kalulu, who currently weighs in at €11m on the Old Lady’s books.

Gazeta claims that several English clubs – possibly even Liverpool, have made inquiries for the defender. At the moment, Juve will only accept spectacular offers for him, with the price previously reported to be around €30m.

Meanwhile, Thuram joined the Italian team for €20m and has arguably become their most important player under every manager. The Reds have made inquiries for him and Manchester United have also, with Juve likely to accept a fee of €40m for his sale.

How Juve’s season ends will determine everything. If they finish in the top four, they will not be forced into a sale, but failure to qualify for the Champions League could potentially mean disaster.

Our opinion: Thuram and Kalulu add value to Liverpool

Of the three, only Thuram and Kalulu would be potential upgrades for Liverpool at present. The 25-year-old defender has immense versatility and could easily fill in at centre-back if Ibrahima Konate were to depart.

Thuram is a better option than Curtis Jones, who himself was linked with a move to Serie A in January. He could prove to be the best midfield option of any at Anfield at the moment.

Conceicao has problems with consistency. He has moments of brilliance but has never translated them into regular impact. Bringing in someone like Salah to replace him could prove costly. That said, any replacement for Salah is likely to be several steps down from the Anfield legend.

All three Juventus players would cost around €120m, and Liverpool will know there is an opportunity there. Although they are unlikely to take all three, a sale situation would be even more attractive if Juve cannot finish where they need to.

Manchester United have identified Benfica’s Samuel Dahl as a transfer target for the summer window.

The Sweden international left his country when AS Roma signed him from Djurgårdens IF in 2024. Before his move to AS Roma, Manchester United had kept an eye on him.

His decision to join the Serie A team did not work out as the left-back only played three matches. The transfer probably came too soon for the now 23-year-old.

Therefore, the Italian club let him join Benfica on loan in January 2025 before selling him later that year.

Dahl has played 68 matches for the Eagles so far and 46 have been in this season. His league statistics per game are as follows:

• Intercept: 0.5
• Tackle: 2.7
• Possession won (final third): 0.2
• Ball recovered: 4.5
• Clearance: 1.5
• Blocked Shots: 0.2
• Duel won: 4.8

Fullback attracts Manchester United

sports witness first broadcast news tottenham hotspur and sending crystal palace His scouts to follow Benfica’s matches.

However, Manchester United are considering that and Wednesday’s edition record A major report with ‘Dahl seduces United’ written in bold.

He now plays an important role under Jose Mourinho, reviving the memory of the Red Devils following him from the past.

The Old Trafford club have sent their scouts to follow the Swede more than 10 times this season and are pleased with the information gathered so far.

Record Status: ‘The English club appreciates the full-back’s physical strength and the fact that he has already shown his ability to adapt to different systems and even to different areas of the field at Benfica.’

This has convinced Manchester United to consider making an offer in the next window. However, the newspaper makes no mention of the fee they are willing to pay or Benfica’s demand or stance towards a summer sale.

Last week, Sport Witness covered Spain’s claim Manchester United are moving towards the signing of Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde. It seems Michael Carrick’s side are looking to improve on this situation this season.

Sweden contracts, prices and agent information

Samuel Dahl’s contract is until 2029 transfer market He is worth €12m. However, his club are likely to demand more considering AS Roma maintain 40% sale-on clause.

Swedish agency Futnation, owned by agent Miralem Jaganjak, is looking after the player’s interest and future.

Atletico Madrid fear competition from Arsenal in the race to sign Atalanta’s Ederson.

The Brazil international could be on the move in the summer and Arsenal have been pulled into the mix.

He joined the Serie A team from Salernitana in 2022 and has been a regular for them since then. The player was a key part of the La Dea team that won the Europa League during the 2023/24 season.

This season, Ederson played 2,502 minutes in 33 matches, scoring two goals and one assist.

His Serie A statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 23
• Start: 20
• Total minutes: 1,688
• Minutes per game: 73
• Tackles per game: 2.0
• Balls recovered per game: 4.4
• Duels won per game: 4.4

Arsenal transfer threat to Atletico

The La Liga side have long been keen to sign Ederson and have already made a strong effort for the next window.

This is as per Wednesday’s edition MarkWho mentioned Arsenal in a report on Los Rojiblancos. His title states: ‘Atletico Madrid’s ‘anti-Premier League’ offensive for Ederson’.

A few days ago, Los Rojiblancos sporting director Matteo Alemany traveled to Italy for a meeting with Atalanta president Antonio Percassi. The meeting was to accelerate negotiations and attempt to secure an agreement for the 26-year-old player’s transfer to the Spanish club.

Diego Simeone’s side are unwilling to offer more than €35m plus €5m in bonuses while La Dea are demanding €50m. Despite the differences, the former are insisting on securing his services.

On March 13, Game Witness broadcast news Manchester United will battle Atletico for Ederson. The source put his initial price at €30m, which is €20m less than the price reported by Marca.

The newspaper makes no mention of any other English club apart from the Gunners. Alemany travels to Italy ‘Premier League threat’.

He decided to take action on behalf of Mikel Arteta to prevent interference from clubs whose financial strength is superior to that of Atlético. The South American earns €4-5m per year and this should be affordable for both Arsenal and Simeone.

Andrea Berta clear link

Andrea Berta is currently working in a sporting director role for Arsenal, and before that he was well established at Atletico Madrid. Los Rojiblancos’ concerns could therefore be based on the fact that Berta likes the player.

Ederson’s contract expires in 2027, meaning the next window will be Atalanta’s last big chance to collect a decent fee. According to its value transfer market€40m, and is represented by Andre Curie.

last november Agent mentioned That €30-40 million may be enough, and his client’s sales may be thriving in this area. At the lower end of that estimate, the transfer looks very good value for money.

FC Koln are fully preparing for the possibility of losing breakout star Said El Mala this summer, with supervisory board chairman Lionel Souk confirming that negotiations for a deal to Brighton are underway.

Fussball transfer report on Souk’s comments today. He made an appearance on the Drycat Podcast this week, during which El Mala was one of the topics covered.

And he admitted that talks are taking place behind the scenes over the 19-year-old’s future.

“I know the El Mala family well,” He said.

“They were in my office two weeks ago – the father, the mother and their two sons. A very understanding family. Top players, and I believe El Mala can also achieve something with us in the future.

“We’ll see what happens. But I’m not the one who makes the decisions. That’s Thomas Kessler’s job as managing director.”

Colon is desperate to retain his rising star

That said, El Mala has become one of the Bundesliga’s most talked-about young attackers this season.

The youngster is currently the second-highest German goalscorer in the division with 10 goals in 27 games.

Brighton are long-time fans and have been trying to get him for months. A report last week said that these efforts will continue during this international break. Colon has resisted so far.

Souk made it clear that the club would prefer to retain El Mala but admitted that the player’s ambitions and Colon’s financial limitations would shape the outcome.

“Ideally, Saeed would stay. He has only played 1,300 minutes and is already the second-highest German goalscorer in the Bundesliga. And he doesn’t take any penalties,” He added.

“It’s quite an achievement. A player like that is fantastic. He’s a very nice guy. I would be happy if he stayed with us for a long time. It remains to be seen if he wants to and if we can afford it financially.”

brighton stepped up its efforts

Brighton have been working on a deal since last summer, wary of competition for the signature of Said El Mala from the likes of Chelsea.

A report earlier this month said They have already reached an agreement On an agreement with the player and his advisors – his parents. This leaves the Seagulls confident that they have found their man.

He has insisted on talks this week But made it clear that their The next proposal would be his last. They do not expect to pay more than €35m for the winger. This is also his current valuation on Transfermarkt.

With Sooke now confirming behind-the-scenes talks with El Mala and his family, the fight for El Mala’s future is very much on.

Sheffield United’s Nils Zetterstrom wants to seal a permanent move to Genoa in the summer.

The Sweden international came up through Malmö FF’s youth system and forced his way into their first team in 2024. His performances may have convinced the Blades to bring him up to the Championship. €3.3m last August.

Ruben Seles was in charge when he arrived at Bramall Lane and was replaced by Chris Wilder in September.

The current Sheffield United manager did not consider the centre-back and he again failed to appear for the English club. The lack of opportunities frustrated him, forcing him to move away from the Blades in the winter market.

In January, Wilder’s side allowed him to join Genoa on a loan deal with an option to buy and at the time, Sport Witness released the news that there is a purchase clause. €5.5m.

The loan move hasn’t really worked out for the 20-year-old so far. He made his debut for Genoa by coming off the bench against Bologna in January and has not made an appearance since.

Sheffield United’s difficulties and future plans

soccer channel I’ve spoken to Nils Zetterstrom to discuss his life in Italy, why he struggled at Sheffield United and other topics.

The defender blames managerial changes for his lack of opportunities at Bramall Lane.

“No, the coach who brought me there was fired early. And the new coach had a different playing style and believed in different players. So, I was often sitting there in the stands,” He said.

The Sheffield United player is set to join the Italian club permanently via a purchase option.

“Yes, of course. As the situation is now, I am definitely ready to stay in Genoa. We will see; there are eight matches left, and then the summer transfer window will open. But I am ready for that,” Zetterstrom explained.

The Swede is enjoying life in Italy, which encourages him to continue with Genoa.

“I really enjoy it there. If you compare it to English football, in Italy there is a lot more rhythm to the game. Sometimes you let the opponent have the ball, you only defend areas that are dangerous and when you have the ball, the opponent does the same.” He added.

Summer exit pays off for Sheffield United

Nils Zetterstrom sees no future in the Championship side under Chris Wilder. Therefore, a permanent exit in summer would benefit both parties.

The player wants to join Genoa, but whether they will exercise the buyout clause is unclear.

Borussia Dortmund’s Waldemar Anton is on the summer agenda for Manchester United and Aston Villa.

The centre-back joined the Bundesliga team from VfB Stuttgart for €22.5m in July 2024 and has been a regular at Signal Iduna Park.

Before going to BVB, Atlético Madrid had shown interest. At that time, Sport Witness had broadcast news That Liverpool wanted to bring him to Anfield.

The La Liga side have rekindled their desire to secure the defender’s services and now face competition from both Manchester United and Aston Villa, who are also keen.

Anton has made 79 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, logging 3,297 minutes in 37 appearances this season.

His Bundesliga statistics per game are as follows:

• Clean sheets: 11
• Intercept: 0.7
• Tackle: 2.1
• Recovered balls: 5.0
• Dribbled past: 0.4
• Approval: 5.3
• Blocked Shots: 0.5
• Ground duel won: 3.0
• Aerial duel won: 2.7

Contact Manchester United and Aston Villa

Waldemar Anton’s performances for Borussia Dortmund have seen some clubs take a look at him for the next window.

is according to sky germanyWho says Manchester United, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid are all keen.

Both the Red Devils and Diego Simeone have made contact to inquire about his situation, while the Villans have also knocked on the door.

For Niko Kovac’s side, the Germany international is a ‘leader and key player’ and the manager even praised him in February.

At that time he said: “[Anton] Works behind the scenes and tries to win the hearts of many people or bring them on the right path. That’s leadership for me, putting my ego aside and putting the team first. Absolutely fantastic.”

He now earns €5-6m per year, which Manchester United and Unai Emery’s team should be able to match or beat. This figure could improve with a new contract, which Borussia Dortmund is willing to offer.

Sebastian Kehl, who recently left his role as sporting director, spoke with his agent. His successor, Ole Book, will have to take charge of the renewal negotiations.

During this time, Ruhr News Recently asked him about a possible departure in the summer.

Responding to that, Waldemar Anton explained: “Whether there are rumors or not, I don’t even pay attention to them. To be honest, I’m not interested in it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s about me or someone else. There’s always a lot of speculation in football.”

“A club like Borussia Dortmund wants to compete for titles and should. I’m very keen to do that.”

Waldemar Anton contract, price and agent information

Waldemar Anton will have two years left on his contract at the end of this season and as per his value transfer marketIs €18m. The highest was €24m in October 2024 and rises to €18m from March 2025.

German agency AKA Global GmbH is managing the player’s interest and future.

Manchester United and Aston Villa may not be interested, but it seems he has been used to getting a better contract at Borussia Dortmund. It remains to be seen whether this is indeed the case or not.

Leeds United have a clear opportunity to sign Hidemasa Morita, as the midfielder’s position has now moved much closer to the club’s expectations from last year.

Sporting CP player is on Leeds United’s radar from 2025. At the time, a move was considered but ultimately rejected. The asking price of around €10 million (£8.7 million), coupled with doubts over his fitness, made the deal difficult to justify.

Twelve months later, both of those obstacles have disappeared.

Morita is now approaching the end of his contract and is expected to leave Sporting this summer. That single-handedly changes the financial equation. However, there has also been a massive change in how his position is viewed by both players and the market.

Exit is now considered inevitable

Sporting are already Planning for life without Morita. The club’s midfield is set for major changes next season, with several departures expected and internal solutions being developed.

Morita’s case is the clearest. He has long indicated that he would not renew his contract, and his exit is now considered internally certain. This clarity allows the club to move forward with succession plans rather than attempting to extend his stay.

At the same time, the player’s own priorities have not changed. Moving to the Premier League has been a long-standing ambition of his, dating back to his early career in Japan.

That ambition is now hitting the right contractual moment.

Conditions are now favorable for a move to Leeds United

Hidemasa Morita’s situation looks very different compared to last summer. Financial risk has been removedAnd concerns over his physical condition have subsided during the current season.

This is where Leeds United enter the picture again in a more meaningful way.

The club had already done the groundwork on the player. They were aware of his profile, his role at Sporting and his suitability for English football. What stopped them at first wasn’t a lack of interest, but the structure of the overall deal.

Now, with Morita available on a free transfer and showing greater physical reliability, the same move carries far less risk.

portuguese newspaper to ball Insist that interest from Leeds United remains and a move is looking increasingly likely, with the midfielder pushing to fulfill his long-held ‘dream’ of playing in the Premier League.

An agreement that is now equal for all parties

The situation has developed such that all elements are pointing in the same direction.

Sporting is ready to move on. Morita is determined to take the next step in his career. There is already interest from Leeds and now he faces a much more favorable deal.

There is still time for the window to open and other clubs to emerge. External factors, including international performance ahead of the 2026 World Cup, could also influence the market.

Still, this is no longer the uncertain scenario it used to be. What Leeds United previously rejected now appears to be an opportunity of new size – and one that may be too hard to ignore.

Chelsea are once again facing increasing noise around Enzo Fernandez and his move away from Stamford Bridge, with the Spaniard’s latest claims suggesting the situation is rapidly changing.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times. Earlier reports had him as one of several options, with Rodri seen as the priority target. However, that stance now seems to be changing.

It follows the first Updates covered this morningWhere Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo described Fernandez as a “guaranteed signing” profile for Madrid, highlighting both his leadership and World Cup pedigree. However, at that stage, he was still designed as an option rather than the main focus.

Change in thinking of Real Madrid

According to journalist Raul Varela, speaking radio brandThe situation has now tilted significantly in favor of Fernandez.

He said: “Enzo is very close to Madrid, Rodri has no chance to go to Madrid. Today, the president does not want to sign Rodri.”

That’s a strong claim, especially considering that Rodri was widely seen as the ideal midfield addition. The argument appears to be both financial and strategic, with age and long-term value playing a role.

Enzo Fernandez Comments and Feedback

Enzo Fernandez’s own words have also added fuel to the fire. As we covered earlierHe said he would “really love” to stay in Madrid.

That comment went unnoticed. one more Mark Journalist Irene Junquera suggested that the midfielder may not feel completely comfortable in London and is ready for a change. He said such comments were unlikely to be well received internally at Chelsea.

This cannot be completely true. In same podcast He spoke about the possibility of staying in Madrid, with Enzo saying: “I like language [English]. I speak it, I understand it. It’s not like I’m roaming on the streets all day. But inside the club I say it every day with everyone.

Anyhow, other voices on the same program took a more football-centric approach. Journalist Amalio Moratalla highlighted Fernández’s quality and suitability for Madrid.

“He is a top-class player who will definitely fit in at Real Madrid; the question is what price Chelsea will set and what effort Real Madrid will have to make,” He said.

While Nacho Palencia pointed to the appeal of joining a club of that stature.

“It’s Real Madrid that wants you, not Antequera [an amateur level side from Spain]. It is a very favorable situation for the player and his family, and Madrid needs a player of that profile; This will be a very beneficial deal for both parties.

What does this mean for Chelsea

Enzo Fernandez will remain under contract at Chelsea until 2032, and his current market value sits around €90m (£77m) transfer market. However, with Chelsea having paid €123m (£106.8m), any deal may need to exceed that figure.

So Chelsea is still in a strong position. Still, the story is developing. Earlier reports had described Madrid’s interest as exploratory. Now, at least in Spain, there is a growing belief that Fernandez is the more realistic signing.

At present there has been no confirmation of formal talks. Nevertheless, a combination of player comments, media support and changing priorities in Madrid keeps it tenaciously alive.

what happens next

The Enzo Fernandez situation looks set to become one of the major stories of the summer.

If Real Madrid advances decisively, Chelsea will face a major decision. They can either protest and build around him, or consider a sale that would reshape their midfield.

A lot may depend on timing. Fernandez has previously said he would do so Assess his future after the World Cup. Until then, Chelsea may face continued noise and increasing pressure over one of their biggest investments.

Jack Harrison’s move to Fiorentina on loan from Leeds United in January was seen as a big opportunity for the player. Things have gone quite wrong since then, with the player failing to impress.

sports witness The deal was largely covered as La Viola were in desperate need of a new attacking player during their battle with relegation.

While there was a bright spot at the start of the Englishman’s tenure, he has struggled since then. He has started four games and came off the bench twice. Despite the confidence shown by Paolo Vanoli, he has not impacted Fiorentina’s games as much as expected.

Florence club has the option to buy the Leeds United player €7m and it is unlikely it will be used.

Confidence about Elland Road return

corriere dello sport Reports on Fiorentina’s summer deal, it appears certain that Manor Solomon will be signed permanently from Tottenham. Even though he has faced fitness problems, there is no doubt about his abilities.

There is now very little chance of a permanent deal for Jack Harrison. Even though La Viola won’t cost Leeds United much, the 29-year-old hasn’t performed well enough in the past few weeks. Fabio Paratici, who was key in bringing him to Florence, has also not been impressed with his performance.

Furthermore, from Fiorentina’s perspective Harrison is costing a significant sum for the second half of the season. His performance does not justify that salary.

Now, only a major change of heart from Fiorentina could increase the Englishman’s chances of staying in Italy. The newspaper is confident he will return to Leeds United at the end of the campaign.

Our opinion: Leeds should find a lover in England

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Harrison contributes some goals for Fiorentina, mainly because he will likely play a few games. This would not guarantee his stay in Florence.

That’s why Leeds United should already start looking for new clubs for the player. Harrison may still have a market in England due to how well he performed under Marcelo Bielsa. Furthermore, English clubs would also be in a position to pay more for the player.

Harrison’s playing style has always relied heavily on distance passing and running. This is why he proved so successful under Bielsa. Those qualities are more valued in England than in Italy, where players are expected to be more technical and creative than physically strong.

Arsenal’s midfield plans for the summer are already taking shape behind the scenes. The club is expected to revisit many of the names they tracked last year.

One of them is Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand.

Hjulmand’s role and numbers

Morten Hjulmand’s importance to Sporting explains both the interest and plans for his exit.

Since arriving from Lecce in 2023, he has become one of the central figures in the team and now wears the captain’s armband. His role is built on control, defensive work and leadership.

In terms of output also, he has contributed continuously this season. In all competitions in 2025/26, Hjulmand made approximately 41 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists.

FootyStats data from the 2025/26 season shows that he averages around 2.8 tackles and 2.0 interceptions per 90 minutes. Furthermore, he makes around 6.6 ball recoveries per match. These numbers highlight his role as the primary shield in front of the defense.

He also contributes to the structure in possession. Hjulmand is averaging over 60 passes per game and passing accuracy is over 85%. Furthermore, he makes approximately 1.1 key passes per 90 minutes. This helps maintain the pace of the game and the link phases.

This combination makes him a reliable presence rather than a high-variance one. This is something that Arsenal have often prioritized in their midfield formation.

a familiar profile

The Danish midfielder has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time. He fits the club’s values ​​– disciplined, positionally strong and capable of leading the team. This gives others a chance to play ahead of him.

There is also a personal layer to it. Hjulmand is a known Arsenal fan and even has a tattoo related to the club, something that has been noted before When his name came up in transfer discussions.

Meanwhile, Sporting is a club that Arsenal’s recruitment staff are keeping a close eye on, as reported record. Portuguese sides regularly develop midfielders who are tactically mature and ready for top level football. This keeps their key players in constant focus of the Premier League.

Against that backdrop, there is now clear hope in Portugal that Hjulmand can move on this summer – and at a price that will change the conversation.

Exit path opens at €40m

As we covered earlier this yearSporting are already preparing for life after Morten Hjulmand.

There is an understanding that if an offer of around €40m (£34m) is received the midfielder will be allowed to leave at the end of the season. record They say. The figure is well below his €80m (£69m) release clause. This effectively serves as a realistic market entry point.

The expectation within is that he will go. Sporting has already begun to identify replacements, with plans to sign a new defensive midfielder capable of stepping straight into the team.

They are also considering sweeping midfield changes. The club is planning to bring in additional central players, anticipate departures and reshape the balance of the squad ahead of next season.

What does this mean for Arsenal

The situation is now clearer than ever for Arsenal. Hjulmand is not just a watchable player. He’s someone who could realistically be available at a set price point this summer.

The €40 million (£34 million) figure puts him within reach of several Premier League clubs, including the Gunners.

There is no indication of further talks at this stage. The midfielder is focused on finishing the season with Sporting and has not yet opened the door to negotiations. Still, the situation still remains the same.

Arsenal are considering midfield options. Hjulmand fits the strategic profile. Has a known personal connection with the club. And Sporting appears ready to sell on the right terms.

That combination is usually enough to keep the transfer story active – and that combination looks to evolve as the window approaches.

Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez is on Real Madrid’s target list for the summer window.

Los Blancos are looking to improve their midfield and have already identified some key targets including the Chelsea star.

He joined the Premier League team from Benfica in January 2023, just weeks after winning the World Cup with Argentina for £106.8m. [€123.12m].

The 25-year-old was a key part of the Chelsea team that won the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup last year.

He has continued his excellent form with 12 goals and six assists in 46 matches so far this season.

His Premier League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 30
• Start: 29
• Total minutes: 2,583
• Minutes per game: 86
• Expected target: 10.42
• Expected Support: 5.97
• Shots on goal per game: 0.9
• Tackles per game: 1.6
• Ball recovered: 3.9
• Duels won: 4.0

This shows his overall effectiveness both in attack and defence. Two weeks ago, Sports Witness broadcast news The player can leave Stamford Bridge after this season.

last Tuesday the Argentina international said His focus is on Chelsea and he will decide on his future after the World Cup. He also said that there has been no contact with the La Liga side.

Real Madrid option for Chelsea star

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

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

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

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

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

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

Flirting with Real Madrid

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

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

Infobae say his comments are understood as a ‘nod to Real Madrid’.

Contract, price and agent information

transfer market Value Enzo Fernandez, who has a contract at Stamford Bridge until 2032, at €90 million.

The agency is managing the Elegant Game World Cup winner and also represents other players such as River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero.

Celtic are ‘still waiting’ for Frosinone forward Fares Ghedjemis to agree a move to Celtic Park after they agreed a deal with the Italian side for him.

Gazzetta dello sport report Celtic are in a dilemma over the 23-year-old forward, having turned down the chance to join them earlier this year.

Breakout season is based on sacrifice

The Italian newspaper reports that Gedzemis didn’t just turn down Celtic, he also doubled down on Frosinone, Serie B and themselves. At this point, it looks like a very smart move.

With 12 goals and three assists in an impressive campaign this season, he has become one of Italy’s breakout stories.

He has also made his debut for Algeria, replacing Riyad Mahrez and scoring, instantly raising his international profile and market value.

Frosinone See what’s coming. They activated the option to extend his deal until 2028, which came into play when Celtic came in with a €6 million offer in January.

Why did they say no to Celtic?

The Italian club allowed him to choose his future. Go now or stay and fight for promotion. Fares Ghedjemis stopped and has been undefeated ever since.

Interest in him is growing and Celtic are ‘still waiting’ on him. As his numbers continue to rise, German clubs are following his progress.

It remains to be seen whether €6m is still enough to convince Frosinone. The forward is currently valued at €5.50m, so this would still represent fair value. This is also a huge profit on the €300,000 Frosinone paid in 2024.

However, for now, Gedzemis remains involved with the Italian club. He is scoring, assisting and leading the team to Serie A. They currently sit third in Serie B, three points behind leaders Venezia.

It shows that snubbing Celtic in January was the right move on his part. Scottish giants still in danger Efforts are being made to potentially revive the deal in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have been given a very clear transfer message from Mathis Tell’s camp as fresh claims of a move away from North London begin to circulate again.

The 20-year-old only joined Spurs permanently last summer, signing until 2031, and the transfer was reported to be worth around £30m (€35m) after an first loan fee of around €10m.

But Tell is not a player that Tottenham have brought in for a short-term fix. He was to be part of the club’s next attacking cycle. Yet the season hasn’t really taken off for him. He made 31 appearances in all competitions scoring three goals and one assist, while 24 of those appearances came in the Premier League for 898 minutes.

With Spurs sitting perilously low in the table and Tell still trying to establish himself, it’s not hard to see why the rumors have resurfaced. recent reporting He also hinted at fitness concerns while talking about a thigh problem during the international break.

Agent sends strong Bundesliga signal

Mathis Tell’s agent Ghadiri Camara has now responded to the latest conversation from Germany. local outlet football transfers He is said to have addressed the speculation surrounding Borussia Dortmund and made the player’s situation very clear.

“I don’t know if Dortmund really wants Mathis or not, but honestly, a return to Bayern is the only possibility for Mathis to come back to Germany. He can’t play for any other club in the Bundesliga. He loves Bayern.”

This is clearly remarkable for Bayern. This is also notable for Tottenham.

The main line for Spurs isn’t really Bayern affection. This is the solidity of stance around the Bundesliga. Tell’s camp are effectively saying that, if his future in Germany were ever discussed again, there is only one destination they would entertain.

This closes down the Dortmund angle immediately and leaves Tottenham with a simple picture.

What does this mean for Tottenham

Mathis Tell is still young enough for the Spurs to be patient. He will not turn 21 until the end of April, and his contract gives the club strong control.

At the same time, it’s another reminder that Tottenham are dealing with a player whose emotional connection to Bayern has not gone away. This does not mean that he is now insisting on exit. This means that any long-term discussions over his future may eventually involve Munich again.

However, for now, the message is pretty straightforward. If Tell does one day leave Tottenham and return to Germany, his agent insists it will only be to Bayern.

Middlesbrough are among the clubs pursuing FC Augsburg’s Robin Fellhauer ahead of the summer transfer window.

Burnley first showed interest in the 28-year-old in the winter market and other English clubs including Middlesbrough have now joined the race.

He joined the Bundesliga team from SV Alvarsburg in June 2025 and has featured regularly so far this season.

These teams have initiated contact, with the report not specifying whether Middlesbrough have contacted his camp, Augsburg or both. There is also no mention of whether the versatile player or his club is open to a trade with Boro or another club after this season.

Why would Boro be looking at the Germans?

Hayden Hackney is currently the only recognized defensive midfielder at the Riverside Stadium. Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany That Borussia Dortmund are interested in taking him away from Middlesbrough.

With Kante wanting to leave and BVB putting pressure on Hackney, Hellberg’s side may have to look for a new midfielder.

“If it’s true, I don’t believe it is, but Liverpool have already spent €500m this year and are having a very bad season. So, we will not contribute to their improved performance next year,” he said at the AI ​​festival Data: Unplugged in Munster.

“We play this game for our fans. We have 430,000 members, we have millions of fans around the world, and if we have €200m in the bank and then play bad football every Saturday because of it, it’s not going to do them any good.”

BILD reports that Bayern sees no reason to release Olise, especially from a sporting perspective.

The forward has been a consistent top performer since joining Crystal Palace in 2024. Thus, the Germans want to send a clear message, Olise is not for sale.

Bayern’s boss is speaking

Hoeness made this clear by echoing the sentiments of sporting director Max Eberl.

“We are not reconsidering it. Michael has a contract with us until 2029, with no release clause. We are relaxed,” he told Sportbild.

“He is an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that a top player could want. We want to shape the future with him.”

CEO Jan-Christian Driessen has also stressed how important Olisse is to the club: “It doesn’t matter which club is flirting with him: anyone who plays for FC Bayern knows what they have at FC Bayern.”

So, Bayern’s message is clear. They have no interest in €200m, they do not want to sell and Olise will not want to leave anyway. Whether or not these rumors come true in the summer if Liverpool make a bid remains to be seen.

Duke and Michigan were gifted a great replacement option for their top stars, Carlos Boozer and Yaxel Lendeborg, in the transfer portal.

It’s a big week for both the Blue Devils and Wolverines men’s basketball programs. A pair of top-five schools have advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and have a real chance to advance to the Elite 8 on Friday night.

While both teams have strong rosters, Duke and Michigan could not reach this point in the season without ACC Player of the Year Cam Boozer and Big Ten pot Yaxel Lendeborg. Unfortunately for fans of the show, they need to enjoy the ride and the talent of both as they will be gone after this month.

The Duke freshman could be the No. 1 pick in June’s NBA draft, while Lendeborg will be forced to head to the pros as it is his final year of eligibility. Although both programs are focused on their Sweet 16 games, they should also be looking to replace their best players. Well, a very interesting option has just arrived on the transfer portal.

Should Duke and Michigan target Paulius Murauskas in the transfer portal?

This week, Saint Mary’s star Paulius Murauskas told ESPN he will enter the portal and be available to the highest bidder to maximize his final season of eligibility in 2026-27.

The Gaels have become a force in the West Coast Conference under head coach Randy Bennett and the 6-foot-8-inch, 225-pound standout has emerged as their best player this season. In his second year with the program, the Lithuanian had a breakout campaign as he led the team in scoring (18.4) and rebounds (7.6), and was second in assists (2.1).

It won’t be easy for Duke or Michigan to replace Boozer and Lendeborg. However, the former Arizona recruit is an interesting option who could be a Player of the Year contender next season at his program.

Galatasaray are preparing a big move for Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana in the summer, who is being regarded as a dream signing.

news yellow red report On today’s comments from Galatasaray reporter Kagan Dursun. According to their information, Onana is the big signing that manager Okan Buruk wants this summer.

“Okan Buruc has a dream of bringing Amadou Onana into the midfield,” he said.

“It is a difficult transfer, but at the request of the coach, an investigation will be carried out at the end of the season. Even if Onana is not available, the coach wants a midfielder of that profile.”

aston villa resistance

While Dursun has personally requested to sign the 24-year-old from Aston Villa, the transfer is believed to be difficult.

Amadou Onana is currently linked to Aston Villa until 2029 and remains a regular under Unai Emery. He has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season, totaling 2203 minutes.

That’s despite being constantly troubled by hamstring and hamstring injuries. Without these, his appearances and minutes would undoubtedly be higher.

high asking price

There is also the question of price. Derson made no mention of a potential fee, but Aston Villa’s demands would certainly be high.

The Villans paid €59.35m to sign Onana in 2024 and Transfermarkt currently rates him at €45m. Galatasaray will have to dig deep to knock Villa out of the park, even with their big spending over the last few windows.

This figure is also likely to increase if the midfielder has a good World Cup with Belgium. Even if he doesn’t, the three years remaining on his deal means Aston Villa have the power.

Still, it appears the idea is on for Galatasaray, thanks to a request from their manager. The Turkish side has not hesitated To target big name signatures in the recent windowAnd Onana appears to be next on their list.

A great option for Kansas and Arkansas to replace their top players who just entered the college basketball transfer portal. However, he may not be available for much longer.

Both the Jayhawks and Razorbacks were among the top 25 teams in the nation during the 2025–26 season. Although they have several good players on their roster, neither team is as strong without top stars Darrin Peterson and Darius Acuff, Jr.

The guard duo were among the best players in the country this year, which is why – to the dismay of Kansas and Arkansas fans – both of them could be selected in the first 10 picks of June’s NBA Draft. It will be very difficult to replace his numbers next season. However, a fantastic option has just entered the transfer portal.

This week, Sienna star Gavin Doty told the Times Union that he plans to enter the portal. The sophomore took another significant developmental step in his game last season. Leading the program in points (18.0), and was second in rebounds (6.9), assists (2.2), and steals (1.3). Under the guidance of Bill Self or John Calipari, he could become a national star next season.

Gavin Doty may follow his Siena coach to Syracuse

Both Kansas and Arkansas have the financial resources to attract Doty to their schools next season. Especially with the books coming out in Peterson and Acuff, Jr.’s name, image and likeness. Plus, playing for legendary coaches would be attractive to any player in the country, and they could certainly develop Doughty into an NBA prospect.

However, as tempting as a trip to Kansas or Arkansas would be for the Sienna product, there’s a very good chance Doty heads to Syracuse this spring. This may surprise many college basketball fans, but he has a good reason for going to the Orange. His coach for the past two seasons, Gerry McNamara, is doing the same job at Syracuse after becoming a star for the program in the early 2000s.

Players have loyalty to coaches they believe have made them better and it cannot be denied that McNamara is doing a strong job with Doty. While the opportunities may be greater at Kansas and Arkansas, the second-year student will be assured of being the focal point at Syracuse immediately next year. Plus, the move will keep him in upstate New York.

Manchester United have launched a ‘stratospheric’ bid for Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez, but the Catalan giants are refusing to even open the door to the idea.

Sports stadium Journalist Jose Alvarez reports at El Chiringuito that Lopez is the number one target for Manchester United this summer as they look to strengthen their midfield.

a breakout star

Fermin Lopez has become one of Europe’s most impressive young midfielders after being the surprise package at the Camp Nou.

The 22-year-old is now a star figure under Hansi Flick, having put him firmly on the radar of Europe’s elite with 12 goals and 16 assists this season.

Manchester United are confident his profile is tailor-made for the Premier League. As a result, it’s now at the top of their summer wish list.

€100 million bid sends shock waves

Alvarez reports that Manchester United are willing to go up to €100m to secure the Spanish international.

It is an offer that will be difficult for Barcelona to refuse despite his contract running until 2031.

His interest in them is nothing new. But it has increased in the last few hours. His scouts value his versatility and ability to impact different phases of the game.

Barcelona’s answer

Despite the size of the offer, Barcelona’s stance remains firm. Fermin Lopez is not for sale. The club sees him as an indispensable pillar of its future.

Selling him, even for a nine-figure fee, is viewed internally as a step backwards. Lopez also has no intention of leaving. He feels valued, established and central to Barcelona’s plans.

His focus is on continuing his development at the club where he has ultimately achieved success. The interest from Manchester United may be genuine, but both club and player are of the same opinion, his future lies at Barcelona.

The transfer story sounds familiar

The problem with this latest report is that it sounds very familiar. This summer it’s Manchester United, last year it was Chelsea.

Sport Witness covered various reports Regarding the bid of €40-70m at that time From the Blues to Fermin Lopez. The Barcelona midfielder commented on the interest and How he never considered this.

Now Manchester United are reportedly offering a huge sum. The reality, perhaps, is that this is just another part of the Barcelona hype.

Having rejected big offers from the Premier League, the club and their players always perform well among the Camp Nou faithful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Crystal Palace need €15m

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

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

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

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

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

Why could Cabell make sense for the Eagles?

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

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

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