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

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

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

Soon after, Manchester United moved ahead of their rivals.

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

the agreement is months ago

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

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

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

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

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

Arsenal and Manchester United both matter

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

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

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

champions league key

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Manchester United don’t need Pavlovic

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

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

Unless someone leaves, it is not a necessity.

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

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

newcastle united Dusan has stepped in for Vlahovic, whose situation at Juventus is becoming increasingly uncertain.

As things stand, the Serbian’s contract in Turin expires in the summer. He has had a season hampered by injuries, most recently coming back from a groin problem and a calf problem.

The striker scored a fine goal against Lecce at the weekend, giving Juve a 1–0 win.

This comes just days after he scored a vital equalizer against Hellas Verona. Despite problems throughout the campaign, his impact has been clearly seen in the Champions League race. Juve currently find themselves in the top four and Vlahovic’s contribution has come at the right time.

sports witness English interest in him has already been covered, with Tottenham being mentioned as potential suitors. Time is running out for a new deal and Newcastle United are attempting to make a move.

Vlahovic sets conditions for transfer

today’s tuttosport The Serbia international pays attention to the situation, marking his possible options in the summer. There is no dearth of clubs who could sign him but things have not gone in the right direction yet.

Juve are also hesitant about whether they can afford to pay him a huge salary, sign-on bonus and commission to his agent.

There remains interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona but there has been no concrete result. The German side made inquiries but Vlahovic does not want to play second fiddle to Harry Kane.

Recently, Atletico Madrid have also stepped forward. He may not even be able to offer regular first-team minutes until Alexander Sörloth leaves.

Meanwhile, interest from Newcastle United has emerged. He has inquired about the terms of the deal and tried to understand the financial situation involved.

The Magpies cannot attract the striker. Even if they can hand him regular football, he is still keen to play in the Champions League. Eddie Howe’s team will not play any European football next season, making them less attractive.

As a result, the forward could seriously consider staying in Turin.

Deal is risky for Newcastle United

Dusan Vlahovic’s goalscoring abilities can never be doubted. His performance against Lecce was brilliant. Even when Juve struggled to serve under Max Allegri, he still managed to score goals.

His fitness has not been that good. Muscle injuries have increased – as is evident from the ongoing campaign. Therefore Newcastle United should think carefully.

Even if Vlahovic is available for free, he is still in a position to command a high salary. Their group will demand large commissions, as well as player sign-on bonuses.

Manchester United There are ‘intentions’ to sign Ederson from Atalanta this summer and ‘racing’ to get a deal done.

tuttomerkatoweb Manchester United are reported to be making a move for the 26-year-old Brazilian, although they have not yet made a bid.

manchester united optimism

According to the website, the ‘overall sentiment’ is optimistic about the midfielder moving to the Premier League this summer.

Manchester United’s sudden move could result in Atletico Madrid, who were the first to make an offer in January, loosening their grip on the player. They are now considering other profiles, such as Joao Gomes at Wolves.

The feeling in Spain is that Ederson would like to compete at a different level. This is despite the agreement being on individual terms.

Atalanta’s asking price is clear at the moment; They want €50 million to sell the midfielder this summer. They are determined to acquire such a ‘significant sum’ so that they can reinvest and attempt to rebuild their midfield.

Either way, Ederson appears to be a major target for Manchester United in the coming weeks. They are set to lose Casemiro, and another Brazilian could be an ideal addition.

Manchester United’s interest is increasing

Reports have certainly indicated that they are increasing their interest in the Atalanta midfielder.

Sport Witness covered a similar report on May 8^thsaid That they were prepared to break the €40m wall for the midfielder. This would mean that there is not a big difference between them and Atalanta in terms of the asking price.

Manchester United was then given encouragement by Atalanta’s CEO. He emphasized that They will listen to offers if they come in this summer. However, these offers are expected to arrive sometime this summer.

There is a growing sense, at least in Italy, that Manchester United are preparing their move. And Atletico backing down has, at least for now, opened the door for them to secure a deal without any competition.

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

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

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

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

“Complete madness”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Porto is seen as the ideal next step

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

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

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

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

School exams after graduation ceremony

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

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

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

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

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

Newcastle United had a scout at Real Betis watch Eze Abed this week, but face competition from Aston Villa for his signature.

Diario de Sevilla reports on the growing interest from the Premier League today. The Moroccan winger has been earning fans across Europe this summer.

Newcastle United Scouts

The newspaper reports that Newcastle United scouts were watching the match between Real Betis and Elche at the Estadio de la Cartuja on Tuesday night.

This is significant as the newspaper has also learned that Newcastle and Aston Villa are ‘very, very interested’ in Eze Abeda. However, at this time neither of them has taken any official step towards her.

Those in charge of Real Betis are fully aware of the interest from Newcastle and Aston Villa. But they are waiting for any developments, in other words, official bids.

Barcelona are another team that are keeping a close eye on the winger. If they don’t sign Marcus Rashford permanently he is one of the options being considered.

barcelona relations

The Catalans could also benefit, as they have a very good relationship with Betis. Both clubs have made several deals for players over the years. Their relationship is also important given Abede’s current contract situation.

Betis currently own 80% of the rights after acquiring half of his transfer from Barcelona in September 2023 for €7.5m. In February 2025, the Catalans paid an additional 30% as compensation for the termination of Vitor Roque’s loan.

In any transfer, Betis are prepared to make ‘extremely high’ profits. But, if the player were to leave for €40m, €8m would go to Barcelona. At this point this is just an example.

There is no hurry to sell daughters. They will wait till the World Cup to see how Abed performs there. Strong performances from him and Morocco could increase his value even further.

For now, it appears Aston Villa and Newcastle United are simply watching. But the Magpies had a scout in attendance this week, a possible indication of their growing interest.

leeds united Defender Gabriel Gudmundsson has refused to comment on the status of his injury, with it appearing that he will miss another game this season.

hollandsport The full-back provides comments today after being included in Sweden’s squad for the World Cup.

sweden inclusion

Sweden manager Graham Potter announced his squad for the tournament this week. He decided to drop many big names from the group. These also include players like Dejan Kulusevski, who is still struggling with a knee injury.

However, other injured players were also involved. For example, Gabriel Gudmundsson of Leeds United was one of them.

He has not played for the past few weeks after suffering a back injury in Leeds United’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea on 26 April.^th. He is on his way back from that, but cannot say whether he will play in the final two Premier League games for Leeds.

“There’s nothing I can comment on,” He said.

“I stepped back a bit. But I have had good talks with the national team management and I will be fully prepared when the World Cup squad assembles on May 27.”

Strong leeds united season

It appears that the 27-year-old has no concerns about his fitness for this summer’s tournament. But he is also now talking about the past this season, a sign that he can avoid any risks now that Leeds United are safe in the Premier League.

“It will be difficult to go straight from a season in the Premier League to playing in the World Cup. But at the same time it is a big dream for me.” He added.

“I had a great season at Leeds where we got a contract and then it will be fun to travel with the national team to Mexico and the USA.”

That’s not even the only sacrifice he’s making. This summer he will also become a father for the first time, which he will miss.

“A special summer. It will be hard to top 2026,” He concluded.

“Of course I would love to be there when the baby is born. So there are mixed emotions. But my wife is incredibly strong and we have good support from home.”

Strahinja Pavlovic is performing well for AC Milan, and Manchester United It is a matter of interest.

The Serbian has been one of the Rossoneri’s best players this season. This has been unexpected, as he struggled in the 2024/25 campaign.

Under Max Allegri, he has been reliable as a left-sided centre-back. His ball carrying has been impressive, with the defender scoring five goals. The most recent came against Atalanta at the weekend.

Interestingly, this all comes amid growing interest from Manchester United. sports witness It also mentioned Crystal Palace as a possible destination.

Pavlovic’s goal has increased discussion about his future, especially with Milan struggling.

Corriere dello Sport: Red Devils offer expected

corriere dello sport Let’s make it clear that AC Milan cannot miss Champions League football for another season. The Rossoneri will earn up to €90m from qualification and this will provide financial security.

Failure to achieve this would have disastrous consequences and the future of everyone, including Allegri and Pavlovic, would be in doubt.

It is believed the Serbia international is being pursued by Manchester United and other English clubs.

Corriere says the Red Devils are ‘ready to offer 50 million euros’ and would take advantage of Milan’s situation.

The failure to qualify for Europe led to the sale of Theo Hernandez before 30 June last year. The sale of Pavlovic could follow a similar pattern, especially if English clubs make an offer at the right time.

Our opinion: Milan wants sale to England

Clearly, AC Milan are trying to build Strahinja Pavlovic into a star. Although he has been very important, he has defensive weaknesses and they are visible this season.

Milan intend to cash in when his value is high, now that English clubs can pay. The 24-year-old is also of age, making him one of the most valuable players in the Rossoneri squad.

However, Manchester United do not need a centre-back just yet. A suitor like Crystal Palace or Chelsea may offer a better chance for Milan.

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester United will get priority

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Milan are promoting the player’s position

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

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

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

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

Newcastle United’s Interest in Sporting striker Luis Suarez has now moved beyond scouting checks, according to reports from Portugal.

But the Premier League club are already aware that there is little room for negotiation with the Lisbon side.

The Magpies have monitored the Colombian for months after his explosive first season in Portugal. Since arriving from Almería, Suárez has scored 36 goals and provided seven assists in 51 matches. As a result, he quickly established himself as one of Europe’s most productive strikers this season.

That form has naturally drawn increased Premier League attention. Newcastle was already added With forward. However, the Portuguese press are now reporting that the club have initiated formal contact with Sporting as they look for a summer move.

And Portugal’s response appears to be straightforward.

Newcastle United move faces immediate resistance

Sporting are refusing to consider negotiations over the striker’s €80m (£69m) release clause and see the 28-year-old as one of the foundations of Rui Borges’ project to move forward.

according to recordNewcastle United have already made concrete moves to try to sign Suarez ahead of next season. The Magpies have submitted an offer, although the amount has not been shared.

The English club is currently unwilling to meet Sporting’s asking price.

This puts the conversation in a difficult situation right from the start.

The Portuguese newspaper states that Sporting’s approach is based on more than just the player’s statistics.

Internally, Suárez is considered indispensable due to his physical presence, aggressive attacking style, activity behind the defense and efficiency in the final third.

Those qualities helped him adapt quickly after replacing Victor Gyöckeres in Sporting’s attack. They have also pushed him onto the radar of many clubs across Europe.

Al Hilal is also credited with interest from Saudi Arabia.

Sports protected by contract status

Sporting’s confidence partly comes from the striker’s long-term contract situation. Luis Suarez is tied to the club until 2030, giving the Portuguese side significant leverage during any negotiations.

Record Ad Newcastle have stepped up their comments in recent weeks as they prepare for the summer transfer window. Furthermore, they look for attackers capable of making an immediate impact in the Premier League. As we recently coveredThey are ‘leading the list’.

Still, there is no sign at the moment that Sporting is preparing to soften its position.

The Lisbon club have already lost an elite striker to England with Gyókárez’s move to Arsenal, and they are determined not to lose Suarez on the cheap either.

Newcastle’s interest is solid, contacts have begun, but Sporting are suggesting any deal only happens if one reaches the full €80m (£69m) clause.

wolves Midfielder Joao Gomes is reportedly turning down clubs left and right this summer, including Leeds United, even when some of them are offering more money than Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian has become one of Wolves’ biggest assets after falling short in the Championship. Recent reports have already suggested that Atletico are making a strong move for the 25-year-old, and talks are heading towards a deal worth around €45m (£38.5m).

Now there is a clear picture of how the player himself is facing the situation.

according to the journalist pablo oliveiraJoao Gomes rejected approaches from Zenit St. Petersburg, Atalanta, Galatasaray and even Leeds United.

Interestingly, some of those offers were clearly financially better than those of Atlético Madrid.

Looks like Joao Gomes has made up his mind

This tells a lot about where this story is headed.

The opportunity at Atletico Madrid is reportedly considered unique by the midfielder. It makes sense when you look at the bigger picture – Diego Simeone, Champions League football and the chance to compete near the top of La Liga.

Joao Gomes is not just interested in securing the biggest contract available. And as a result, many clubs have already been sidelined.

The Leeds United angle looks a little different. Joao Gomes adapted well to English football and could easily stay in the country. Instead, he seems ready to do something different.

The mention of Atlanta is also interesting. Atletico initially looked at Ederson first Drawing attention to Joao Gomes. Now the Italian club themselves are reportedly among the parties unable to convince him.

The wolves are now waiting for the next step

Things are becoming clearer from Wolves’ side too.

The club is still in a strong position as Joao Gomes is under contract until 2028. Earlier reports had revealed that Wolves wanted around €46m (£40m), while Atletico’s expected offer is currently around €45m (£38.5m). It’s hardly a difference.

Furthermore, once a player begins to rule out multiple clubs and is clearly leaning toward a destination, negotiations usually become more straightforward.

Having turned down clubs from England, Italy, Turkey and Russia – especially with offers of slightly more money – it seems the midfielder has already chosen the direction he wants to go.

Unless another top European club suddenly changes the picture, Atletico Madrid now appear to be in an extremely strong position.

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

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

Newcastle United to Barcelona

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everton Clough, Isaac Drama

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

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

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

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

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

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

Perfect for Barcelona

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

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

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

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

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

David de Gea has experienced a rebirth of sorts after leaving Manchester United. His future at Fiorentina is under threat and is attracting a lot of attention in Italy.

earlier this year, sports witness Covered the Spaniard’s comments about an Old Trafford exit. He described the break year in his career as something that changed him, helping him change his career to Florence.

He has been a regular player for two seasons and has seen ups and downs during this period.

De Gea’s current deal expires in 2028 but there are suggestions he could leave in the summer. Now it seems that only Manchester United can snatch him.

Player may wish to withdraw

Journalist Luca Calamai spoke to Caffè Nero Bolante, addressing some of the hot topics in the Florence club.

He spoke openly about De Gea’s future and suggested he was keen to stay at Fiorentina. But only a call from Manchester United would prompt him to leave in the summer.

The Italian said- via florenceviola: : “I feel like Fiorentina is a big question mark no matter which way you look at it.

“A few days ago, also thanks to the news given by Niccolo Ceccarini, we were convinced that at least with De Gea, for example, everything was decided because the player has clearly and unequivocally expressed his desire to stay in Florence, leaving only a glimpse of a return to Manchester United.”

The journalist explained that not long ago, De Gea’s future at La Viola seemed certain. But now things are not the same, Juventus is moving forward.

“Will De Gea stay? It seemed certain, but today in Turin rumors are resurfacing that De Gea is among the candidates for the Bianconeri jersey.

“There are also talks of contacts between Fiorentina and Juventus on this front, so the question is: does De Gea want to stay, but does Fiorentina want to keep him, or do they want to invest permanently in young Martinelli and save the big salary?”

In short, it seems as if everything will fall to the Spaniard. He has a long-term contract and there is no real reason for him to leave, unless a bigger club calls for him or Manchester United makes a surprise move.

no possibility of return

The future of Altay Bayindir is in doubt. His exit may leave Manchester United looking for a back-up but it is unlikely De Gea will accept that role. At Fiorentina he would get more regular first-team football.

of manchester united Interest in Rafael Leao has been a topic of discussion in recent weeks. The attacker is now struggling and is at the center of AC Milan’s goalscoring issues.

sports witness Covered Jorge Mendes’ involvement in a potential transfer. AC Milan are relying on the super-agent to find a new club for the attacker.

Through Mendes, Manchester United made initial contact to explore the terms of a deal. The Red Devils have an excellent relationship with the agent, having acquired Manuel Ugarte and Lenny Yoro through his work.

A deal for Leo will be cheaper than before, but that’s because his star has faded.

Leo made noise over the weekend

transfer market The report added that Leao’s performance against Atalanta was another ‘black mark’ on his season. Initially he was not expected to play but despite being given the start, he showed an ‘indifferent attitude’.

The game was important for the Rossoneri. Roma’s win over Parma took them level on points with Milan, who found themselves fourth in the table. They lost 3-2 and are now in serious danger of missing out on Champions League football.

The outlet accused Leao of ‘missing goals, poor play’ and was heavily criticized when he was removed in the second half.

Fans at San Siro protested against CEO Giorgio Furlani before the game. The 26-year-old’s performance enraged them further and the loudest boos were heard when the Portugal international was substituted.

Calciomercato doesn’t end there, adding that Leao is ‘hooked’ on the touchline.

Our Opinion: LEO is becoming an easy target

This may worry Manchester United, but AC Milan are generally struggling. They have won only three league games from nine, going from a title challenger to a team that could clinch a Conference League place.

As is often the case, their best player receives the most criticism. The issues are big, as evidenced by the protests against Furlani and Redbird ownership. Max Allegri’s system is also failing to bring out the best from Leo, who finds himself deeper and forced to cover more distances.

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

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

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United call

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

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

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

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

€80m asking price

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

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

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

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

Dynamo Dresden midfielder Kofi Amoako is tempted to join leeds united This summer, the German side are expected to make a very attractive offer for him.

saxon newspaper Report on the 21-year-old today. The newspaper says that a queue of suitors has started to form for Amoako and Leeds are also among them.

Leeds players ‘in their sights’

It has been reported that there will be significant changes to the Dynamo squad during the summer window. Work is already underway to do this.

Sports director Soren Gonther has been responsible since January 1st. He said earlier in March: “We have prepared for transfers that we can make if we remain in the second division. But there are also players we are considering who we consider suitable for both leagues.”

“It’s difficult to predict how much will change. But definitely, the team will change.”

One name that has been discussed ‘particularly frequently’ in recent times is Kofi Amoako. The list of parties reportedly interested in him is growing. 1. FC Köln, Hamburger SV, Union Berlin, and FSV Mainz 05 from the 1. Bundesliga have now expressed interest.

Italian first-division club US Lecce had already snapped up the defensive midfielder during the January transfer window.

Leeds United offer attractive sum

It has also been reported that the Leeds defensive midfielder is ‘in their sights’. A potential transfer fee in the ‘low seven-figure range’ has been contemplated. This would be a very attractive sum for Dynamo this summer.

A move to Elland Road would also be attractive for the player. He is reportedly less than happy with his role as a super sub this season. He wants to finish the season and look at his options. This gives Leeds the opportunity to make their move if they wish.

Dresden, for its part, would like to keep him. “We made him a solid offer,” Gonther explained, “and we would be very happy if we could move forward on this path together.”

But a Premier League offer, which would be attractive to the player and attractive to the club, may be hard to resist from all sides.

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is now trying to move forward quickly

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

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

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

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

Little changed in Atletico deal

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

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

newcastle united Sporting is taking a closer look at another striker after seeing Victor Gyökeres succeed following his move to Arsenal.

And the player attracting attention this time is Luis Suarez, who has quietly had one of the most productive seasons in Europe. And yes, he has the same name as the former Liverpool striker.

He’s not even Uruguayan – he’s Colombian. And he has scored 35 goals in 50 official matches for Sporting this season.

He has also added several assists and has become the clear attacking point of reference for manager Rui Borges’ team after arriving from Almería last summer. As replacement for Victor Gyöckeres.

Before moving to Portugal, Suárez had already shown his goalscoring ability in Spain by finishing as the second division’s top scorer during the 2024–25 season. That form has now pushed him firmly onto the Premier League radar.

to attract attention again

earlier this year, We covered Portugal’s claims Newcastle United and Liverpool mentioned as interested parties. The dust settled a bit when Sporting advanced to the Champions League knock-outs and chased Porto in the league.

Now that both the races are over, speculations have started increasing again.

and according to recordNewcastle have been making inquiries about the 28-year-old striker and have been submitting scouting reports throughout the season, especially after his performances in the Champions League.

The Portuguese newspaper reports that there is still no formal offer on the table. Sporting are also relaxed about the growing interest due to the player’s €80m (£69m) release clause, with the Lisbon side reportedly having no intention of lowering it.

Newcastle United are keeping a close eye

Luis Suarez has reportedly become a regular topic inside Newcastle’s scouting department in recent months. The Magpies are considering attacking reinforcements and see parallels between the Colombian’s rise and the path previously taken by Gyöckeres at Sporting.

However, the Record note Newcastle’s playing situation could play a factor in any final negotiations. Eddie Howe’s side are currently in mid-table and could miss out on European football next season.

It matters to Suarez. The striker reportedly wants to continue fighting for trophies and playing European football after returning to Europe’s biggest stage this season.

For now, his focus is on Sporting’s final matches of the campaign and the upcoming World Cup with Colombia, where they could face Portugal during the group stage.

confident about the situation

Despite transfer noise, reports state that Luis Suarez is happy in Lisbon and currently wants to stay at Sporting.

The forward has reportedly settled very well in Portugal and feels trusted by the club’s hierarchy, coaching staff and supporters.

The record states that stability has been particularly important during a difficult personal period, including a legal dispute involving his children from a previous marriage.

It leaves Sporting in a strong position ahead of the summer window.

The Portuguese club have a striker scoring at an elite level, a player who is not under pressure to leave, and an €80m (£69m) clause that protects them from lower offers.

Nevertheless, Newcastle’s growing interest suggests that Premier League clubs believe Suárez could follow Gyöckeres’ path and become Sporting’s next major export.

Manchester United to pass newcastle unitedSandro Tonali is on his target list for the summer.

The midfielder’s future remains uncertain after this season and is already attracting interest from England and beyond. Manchester United belongs to the former category.

For much of this season, the Italian media have regularly discussed the possibility of a move back to Serie A for the former AC Milan star. However, Newcastle United’s demands have been an issue for its supporters such as Juventus.

Two months ago, Tonali’s agent giuseppe risso said Possible steps can be taken after the World Cup. At the end of that month, we broadcast news His team is working on finding a new club in the Premier League.

On 27 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Italy That Manchester United has already taken a step.

Manchester United ready to move on

The Newcastle United star turns 26 today TuttoMercatoWeb There is a recent report on his future. It’s worth noting that, like others in Italy, TMW speaks to Tonali’s agent regularly.

Juventus are chasing the Italy international and are dreaming of securing his services. However, the fee required to convince Eddie Howe’s side is ‘completely out of their budget’.

The Magpies now sit 13th in the table, six points behind seventh-placed Brentford and are likely to miss out on Europe.

Sandro Tonali is one of their prized assets and is valued at €100m. In fact, it is ‘pointless’ to start negotiations on a fixed fee below €80m.

Manchester United, for its part, is ‘Had already informed that they are ready to submit a suitable proposal.’ It is unclear whether the Old Trafford club informed his agent or Newcastle United, but that seems more likely.

Tonali earns €8 million net plus bonuses per year, another factor that puts him beyond Juventus’ reach.

Manchester United prioritize midfield improvements

The Red Devils have qualified for the Champions League and need a bigger squad next season.

Casemiro will leave Old Trafford after this season and Manuel Ugarte could also be on his way.

Both of these situations, coupled with the return to Europe, will force Manchester United to bring in further reinforcements, especially in midfield. Tonali could be a quality addition while they are also focusing on other goals.

leeds united And Coventry City have Juventus’ Lois Openda on their transfer radar for the summer.

On 16 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Italy The striker is attracting interest from Leeds United.

At the end of that month, we broadcast news Further supporting the Whites’ interest in the 26-year-old. Daniel Farke’s side are not alone as Coventry City are also involved.

The Sky Blues have secured promotion to the top flight by winning the Championship and will look to improve Frank Lampard’s side in the next window.

Last week, Sports Witness Covered Claims Coventry City are making contact with the Serie A side for Openda.

Promotion for Leeds United and Coventry City

Last summer, Juventus took the Belgium international on loan from RB Leipzig with a conditional obligation to buy.

TuttoMercatoWeb Report that the conditions to purchase it were met less than a month ago. The Old Lady will have to pay Leipzig €40.5m, in addition to an initial €3.3m loan fee.

This feat has already proven completely disastrous for the Serie A team as he has conceded two goals in 34 matches so far. This includes a goal in his team’s 2–1 win over AS Roma in the league in December.

Lois Openda has struggled consistently this calendar year, which has had a direct impact on his playing time in recent weeks. He will also not be a replacement for Luciano Spalletti next season.

The Turin club is trying to get rid of him, but is unable to recoup the fee invested to purchase him, even after removing the fees paid. Therefore, a loan move seems inevitable as it would help improve his value and get him regular minutes next season.

Leeds United and Coventry City have already shown interest in the frontman. Juve’s latest move provides these two English clubs with a great opportunity to sign him.

Our Opinion: PL move could be beneficial

It is clear that Lois Openda will hardly have a future at Juventus, and a summer exit is the best option for him.

He may consider a move to the Premier League, where the Whites and Frank Lampard’s team are his supporters.

This would be a loan deal, possibly with a purchase option rather than an obligation. It’s worth the gamble for Leeds United and the Championship winners, especially given how they performed in Leipzig.

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

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

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

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

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

Roma Director Anarchy

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

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

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

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

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

Our opinion: Who will add value to the midfield

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

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

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

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

Manchester United Youth product Alvaro Carreras, now at Real Madrid, appears to have suffered from bullying at Real Madrid.

sports world report More on this topic and how Real Madrid teammates were forced to intervene in an incident with Antonio Rudiger.

From Manchester United to Real Madrid

Alvaro Carreras joined Real Madrid in a €50m deal last summer after impressing at Benfica. The Manchester United youth product was on loan with the Portuguese club until 2024.

He established himself at the club, helping him make the move permanent in 2024. A year later, Real Madrid came calling to sign the full-back. He was a product of his own youth before moving to Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old has been a regular this season, but it seems he is not making friends behind the scenes.

Releasing information from El Chiringuito, Mundo reported that Rudiger had tackled the full-back in an incident two weeks earlier. The German player had also slapped the youngster in a dressing room incident in February. Carreras also acknowledged this, calling it an “isolated incident.”

Rudiger incidents

However, El Chiringuito reports that a similar incident occurred just 15 days earlier.

“Two weeks ago, not in the locker room, but on the training pitch, Rüdiger confronted Carreras again. His teammates had to intervene to separate them,” Journalist Marcos Benito explained.

“He also asked him to apologise, as his behavior towards the 23-year-old player was getting out of control. His teammates had to step in to stop the German.

“I don’t know what relationship Rüdiger has with Carreras (or) what he has done to him. I don’t know if there is some misunderstanding between them, if they don’t get along, but it was not just the February incident with aggression; two weeks ago, he confronted him again.”

The incidents indicate growing problems for the former Manchester United man, who appears to be suffering bullying at the hands of Rudiger.

This is another sign of the problems at Real Madrid, where the player’s strength now appears to be out of control. Perhaps that’s why reports are linking him with a move to the likes of Jose Mourinho, a manager who will certainly ruffle feathers.

swansea city Even ahead of Aston Villa or Manchester United, AIK are keen to bring football talent Kevin Field to the Championship.

The 17-year-old player came through the ranks of the Swedish club’s academy and was promoted to the first team in 2025. He had a short loan spell at Enkopings SK in the first half of last year.

Since returning from loan, the striker has scored two goals in nine appearances in 2025. This year, he has one goal in 336 minutes in nine matches.

His statistics are still not that impressive but have nevertheless attracted the attention of Swansea City and other UK clubs.

In November, witness the game Covered claims from Sweden Aston Villa about to join Manchester United in the transfer chase. At the end of that month, we broadcast news The Red Devils’ first contact over a potential deal.

That time, the player said He was not aware of these transfer links and was not thinking of a move.

Swansea City keen on youngsters

Fast forward to May and Sportbladet, relayed by football transfersReport on Swansea City’s interest in Kevin Fielding.

The outlet has reiterated interest from Manchester United, Aston Villa and RB Leipzig and cited Newcastle United from the UK as a suitor. Sturm Graz was the club applying the most pressure in the last window.

However, AIK Fotboll did not consider offers for the Sweden U19 international in the winter market.

Since then, Vitor Matos’ side have emerged as contenders. The Welsh club have shown ‘concrete interest’ in the attacker, so much so that they have submitted an offer of SK 25m, which comes out to around €2.3m.

Swansea City sent this offer several weeks ago and AIK Football had already rejected it. Sportbladet has no information on whether the Swans will come back with an improved bid.

Our opinion: Swansea City are in no rush

Vitor Matos has already indicated Zane Vipotnik could leave Swansea City after this season.

In that case, the Championship side will need a new striker and have identified targets. Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news Toulouse FC’s Franck Magri as a substitute.

Kevin Fielding may not be an option at the start of next season as he is not eligible to move to the UK in the summer.

The Swedish citizen will turn 18 in November, which means he will have to wait until next January if he wants to move to the UK.

AS Roma’s Wesley has been one of Serie A’s most consistent players this season and is now attracting attention tottenham, newcastle united And armory.

The Brazilian joined the Giallorossi for €25m last summer and has fitted in perfectly into Gian Piero Gasperini’s system.

He started the season in his preferred right wing-back position but has also performed well at left wing-back. Wesley now has five league goals after scoring against Fiorentina on Monday.

sports witness Having covered reports of interest from Manchester City, Brazilian media have also added their information.

The list of suitors for Wesley continues to grow. Tottenham, Newcastle United and Arsenal are now in the race for the defender.

The price has now doubled

IT migration market Believes Wesley’s first season in Italy has been ‘nothing short of amazing’. There were some doubts about him when he arrived from Flamengo but he dispelled those doubts emphatically.

Now his value has doubled in Roma’s eyes.

Tottenham, Newcastle United and Arsenal have taken note of his performances. There has been no formal offer but reports make it clear that Tino Livramiento’s future could be significant.

The Magpies full-back is of interest to the Gunners, Spurs and Manchester City. Only one of Livramiento or Wesley will be targeted by clubs, with other teams likely to make an push for the Roma star.

Additionally, losing the Englishman would prompt Newcastle United to look to Wesley as a replacement.

A deal for the 22-year-old would not normally be easy but the Italian side have financial concerns.

FFP issues could lead to sale

As things stand, Roma needs to make some big capital gains by the end of June. Ideally, they will sell players who joined for free and are now highly rated. However, Wesley is probably the most expensive player on their team at the moment.

Tottenham, Newcastle United and Arsenal should take note. Wesley could become a key player for all of them, adding versatility and also being smaller than Livramiento. A summer move for him would be suitable for any big club in need of an attacking fullback.

newcastle united Midfielder Sandro Tonali has had a prison sentence converted to a hefty fine to end a long-running illegal betting case against him and others in Italy.

Corriere Della Sera reports on the case today. They say Tonali asked for a fine of €78,250 rather than a prison sentence to drop the case.

Newcastle United star punished

The newspaper reports that sentencing has now been handed down over the case, with Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli facing prison sentences and being suspended by FIFA.

The two organizers of the case were sentenced to two years, three months and two years in prison. Meanwhile, three partners who own Milanese jewelery company Elysium Group SRL were sentenced to two and a half years in prison on money laundering charges.

That business served as a vehicle for footballers to pay off gambling debts. He would make regular bank transfers to buy luxury Rolex watches that he never collected. The watches were actually fake.

Tonali chooses penalty

Newcastle United midfielder and Fagioli were the prominent names in this case. But 18 other people including football players were also fined.

But Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli face additional punishment in the Milan criminal case. He was also accused of advertising illegal platforms to other players. There is a provision for a jail sentence of up to three months and a fine for that offence.

A plea bargain reduced it to a month, but the pair went their separate ways. While Fagioli opted for a suspended sentence, Tonali requested a fine be issued. It was assigned at €78,250 with an extended exchange rate of €250 per day.

This brings the matter to an end, giving Tonali and Fagioli a new lease of life to move forward. This could be crucial, particularly for the Newcastle man, who has been heavily linked with a potential return to Italy this summer.

Manchester United Also on his agenda for the summer is Elche CF’s David Affengruber.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Manchester United is preparing to sign him.

After a three-year spell with Austrian side Sturm Graz, the centre-back joins the La Liga side on a free transfer in 2024.

He made 40 appearances in his debut season and has played 2,736 minutes in 35 matches so far this season.

The defender’s La Liga statistics per game are as follows:

• Appearances: 32
• Minutes per game: 81
• Interception: 1.4
• Tackle: 2.1
• Recovery: 4.3
• Approval: 4.9
• Blocked Shots: 0.7
• Duel won: 5.0

The Austria international is attracting interest from some clubs in Spain and across Europe.

There is a tussle for signatures at Manchester United

Sports stadium Mention the Premier League side when covering the latest on David Affengruber’s pursuit of Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine have joined the campaign and are seriously considering signing the 25-year-old. It will not be easy as other clubs are showing interest in him.

His impressive performances have put him on the radar of top clubs. Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Real Betis have all ‘highlighted’ his name.

There is a ‘fierce battle going on’ to secure the services of the Austrian and Elche are ready to sell him after this season.

The player’s contract expires in 2027, and includes a €20m release clause, which is economical for the Old Trafford club.

Elche could use this as a starting point, especially if there are attractive offers from the Premier League and Bundesliga.

If this happens, it will be difficult for the Spanish club to compete. Villarreal is not the favorite right now but has no intention of abandoning the operation.

Sources close to the player told Estadio that he has not yet made a decision on his future, but that his priority is to remain in Spain. This could benefit their La Liga supporters, including Villarreal.

Manchester United must be confident

For now, David Affengruber’s name has been underlined by Michael Carrick’s side, and there is no word if further progress will be made to sign him in the summer.

If Manchester United decide to make a move, they will first have to convince the Austrian to switch to the Premier League as he prefers to remain in Spain.

transfer market The Elche player is valued at €9m, the highest price so far in his career.

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

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

That performance added to the growing clamor over his future.

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

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

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

Gremio have currently ruled out formal bids

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

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

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

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

Newcastle’s latest club in pictures

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

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

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

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

“A great value”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lyon know they have a valuable asset

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

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

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

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

Sporting wait in the background

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

Manchester United Midfielder Casemiro has now put to rest any doubts about his future, confirming in his own words that his time at Old Trafford is coming to an end.

Casemiro arrives at Manchester United in 2022 after a trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid. He soon became a leader in midfield and helped bring silverware back to Old Trafford by winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

Speaking in an extensive interview with espn brazilCasemiro made it clear there will be no extension At Manchester United.

“I don’t think there’s any chance of staying another year, no possibility. The idea is to go out the front door. It’s been four beautiful, wonderful years, and I’m grateful not only to the club, but also to the fans. If there’s one thing I’ll take with me from these four years, it’s the fans. But no, I think it’s over. My cycle here is over.” He said.

A few moments later, he reiterated that decision and explained that he now sees it as the right time to move on.

“I’m moving into a new phase of my career. I still have to decide where I’ll go, but I want to go well, go happily. I will always be a United supporter here in England and I can only thank the fans for their affection.” He added.

four years in manchester

His time at the club was not straightforward. Injuries and tactical changes diminished his influence at some points. In early 2025, he also lost his place under Ruben Amorim. Yet he responded as would be expected from a player of his level.

Casemiro worked hard to return to the team and performed strongly. He played a key role in the final stages of the season, including an appearance in the Europa League Final, and reminded many of his importance. That reaction is something he views as one of his greatest personal accomplishments.

“I kept working, I kept trying to show the manager he was wrong about me. I could have accepted it and moved on, but I didn’t. I worked to change his mind and I managed to do that. That might be one of my greatest accomplishments.” he explained.

a goal scoring farewell

That’s also reflected in the strong closing numbers. Casemiro is enjoying the best scoring season of his career, with nine goals so far. He has also stayed away from injuries since 2023, which has helped him maintain consistency and rhythm.

Still, he remains clear about his priorities on the field.

“My son asks me: ‘Dad, are you going to score today?’ I tell him I’m a defensive midfielder. The first job is to defend, to help the centre-backs, full-backs, midfielders. If I can score then it’s a bonus. But first comes the defensive work and giving balance to the team.” He said.

He also pointed to the collective effort behind those contributions.

“It all depends on the team. People see the last touch, the goals, the defending, but everything starts somewhere else. In attack, it starts with the goalkeeper. In defence, it starts with the striker. Even if I score, it is the team’s job.” He added.

Emotional farewell and mentality till the end

As his Manchester United chapter comes to a close, Casemiro acknowledged the emotional significance of the moment. Leaving a club is something he has experienced before, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

“You have to get through the front door. It’s always something I’ve tried to do at every club. It’s emotional. With every game, you feel it more. You have that feeling in your chest, but it’s been beautiful. The matches, the training, the daily work – it’s been a really good story, especially this end,” He reflected.

He went even further in describing how he was experiencing these final moments.

“It’s almost too perfect, this exit. I’m enjoying it a lot. I’m really enjoying what I’m living at a big club like United.” He added.

Despite knowing he would be leaving, his competitive mindset hasn’t changed.

“I’ve always been like that and I think I’ll always be like that. Whether it’s one minute or ninety minutes, every day when I go to bed I want to feel like I gave everything. We all know I’m going, we know the World Cup is coming, but that’s who I am – giving everything on the field, even when I can’t give anything else.” He said.

The decision has now shifted to the next destination

Casemiro also made it clear that his next move will be carefully decided, with his family playing a key role in the process. As we recently coveredMLS could be his destination.

“The priority is to talk to my family and see what they want. When I decided to come to Manchester United, they were the first to support me. They always say they will be happy wherever we go, but now this decision is very important and I need to make it together with them.” he explained.

He stressed the importance of that option.

“This is a very important decision for me now. I still need to analyze everything carefully.” He added.

Also, he highlighted the positive moment he is experiencing.

“Things are going really well for me. It was a great end to the season and a great season overall.” He said.

The situation is now completely defined. This comes straight from the player himself, closing a four-year chapter and opening the door to the next phase of his career.

It is unclear whether Michael Carrick’s side have registered a strong interest with his club, FC Nordsjælland or both. Either way, there could be a potential battle between the Old Trafford club and PSG for the signature of the young player.

Manchester United, PSG or any other interested party would have shelled out €27-32m for a potential deal in the summer.

Dynamo Dresden’s Kofi Amoako has emerged as a new target leeds united Beyond the summer window.

The defensive midfielder joined the second division German club from VfL Wolfsburg in July 2025.

Before that, witness the game Covered claims from Germany Chelsea’s interest in the 20-year-old player. However, the Blues made no solid progress a year ago and Leeds United are now their latest partners from England.

The Germany U21 international played 2,165 minutes in 31 matches this season.

His league statistics per game this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 30
• Total minutes played: 2,086
• Intercept: 0.6
• Tackle: 2.0
• Possession won (final third): 0.2
• Recovery: 2.7
• Clearance: 1.7
• Blocked Shots: 0.2
• Duel won: 3.9

Leeds United will face competition

Kofi Amoako’s performances for Dynamo Dresden have already been noticed by several Bundesliga sides.

is according to imageWhich state Union Berlin, Hamburg SV, and 1. FSV Mainz 05 have already shown interest. Daniel Farke’s side have now joined the race as the Whites are also keen.

What would it mean for Leeds United to enter the war ‘Significant increase in transfer fees’ For Dynamo Dresden.

So far, a fee of around €2m has been quoted, but this is now likely to rise. In the last window, third division German team Hansa Rostock sold Ryan Naderi to Rangers for €6m. Using this transfer as an example, Bild points out that the money involved is on a ‘completely different scale’ to that in the UK.

In other words, Dynamo Dresden may be able to collect more than €2m for Amoako as Leeds United have now joined the fray.

Wolfsburg, which collected €200,000 last year, will receive 10% of the profits from its sale.

leeds united have options

transfer market Kofi Amoako is worth €2m. The Elland Road club are ‘keen’ to sign him, but he is not the only defensive midfielder on their agenda.

On March 21, Khel Sakshi Covered claims from Portugal Hidemasa Morita is likely to join Leeds United. The Whites wanted him last summer and offered €10m, but he did not leave Sporting.

The Japanese defensive midfielder’s contract expires in June and he could be free in the summer.

Morita, 30, has experience playing at the highest level and, unlike Amoako, he will not need much time to adapt. Daniel Farke’s side want a new defensive midfielder and have options to choose from.

newcastle unitedOdysseas Vlachodimos is likely to leave the Premier League team permanently in the summer.

After struggling for a prominent role last season, the Magpies let the goalkeeper join Sevilla on loan in August 2025.

The Newcastle United player has enjoyed regular games with the La Liga side, who are keen to keep him.

Sevilla’s sporting director Antonio Cordon has confirmed it And also said that the 32-year-old intends to stay. The Magpies have to decide whether to approve another loan or sell him after this season.

On 28 April, Game Witness broadcast news The Greece international wants assurances from Eddie Howe that he will be first choice if he returns to Newcastle United. If not, he wants to move to another club.

The Newcastle United man has options

pride oneOne website dedicated its coverage to Sevilla, covering the latest on the future of Odysseas Vlachodimos.

The Spanish club admits that it will be difficult to compete with others for his signature. Due to his age, they will not be able to sell him for a profit in the future, and this affects their decision.

He is attracting interest from unnamed clubs from the Premier League, Championship and Bundesliga.

The player’s former club, Panathinaikos, owned by Newcastle United, dreams of his return and would be willing to invest. Last week, Sports Witness Claims covered from Greece That he is in contact with their owner Yiannis Alafouzos.

Eddie Howe’s side are awaiting offers to finalize his sale ‘as soon as possible’. The Premier League team want to get rid of him permanently in the summer.

Our opinion: Magpies need a new stopper

Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale [on loan from Southampton]Mark Gillespie and John Ruddy are now Newcastle United’s four goalkeepers.

Gillespie and Ruddy’s contracts expire in June, while the futures of Ramsdale and Pope need to be sorted out.

The Magpies are likely to sign at least one stopper and the sale of Odysseas Vlachodimos could partly finance that operation.

leeds unitedSebastian Bornou did not enjoy good performances in his first season in the Premier League.

The Belgian player moved to Germany when 1. FC Köln signed him from Anderlecht in August 2019. He spent two years with them and moved to VfL Wolfsburg in 2021.

His performances for Wolfsburg convinced Leeds United to spend around €6m in July 2025.

However, the centre-back has not performed well under Daniel Farke and has made only four Premier League starts.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 9
• Start: 4
• Total minutes played: 215
• Minutes per game: 35

The 27-year-old’s last Premier League appearance was in a 2–2 draw against Chelsea on 10 February. Since then, he has made three appearances for the Whites in the FA Cup.

Back in January, FC Köln Vice President Ulf Sobek indicated His side were ready to wait for the defender in the winter market. However, he is still at Elland Road but that could change in the summer.

On March 31, Khel Witness Covered claims from Germany The Bundesliga side could offer him an escape route after this season.

Interest in Leeds United increased

image Now focus 1. FC Köln’s transfer plan for the next window. With the incoming, his main priority is to sign a striker and centre-back, who is experienced and ‘strong-in-the-air’.

Sébastien Bournau appears to suit their needs and is the ‘top candidate’ for the defensive position.

rioter Also report that FC Köln are looking for an experienced centre-back. The Leeds United player is mentioned because he already knows the club from his two-year stint between 2019 and 2021.

However, without mentioning the price, it ‘will not be cheap’ for FC Köln to lure Bornou away from the Whites.

Contract, price and agent information

Sebastian Bornau’s contract expires in 2029 and he is worth €8m transfer market.

Leeds United may attempt to recoup most of the fee invested to sign him a year ago. Belgian agency Stirer Associates represents the Whites defender.

Atalanta’s Ederson appears closer than ever to going away, and Manchester United Now he is at the forefront of the midfielder race.

From 2024, sports witness The Red Devils’ interest in the midfielder has been covered. They have made initial contact for that but no formal proposal ever came forward.

Ederson remains at Bergamo and so far, there has been no progress on a new deal. Atletico Madrid are also keen, as the player’s current contract expires in 2027.

Manchester United have sensed this as an opportunity and have made a move to the Spanish side for the Brazil international.

Murtaugh can order transfer

tutomercatoweb Note that Ederson has an agreement with Atlético Madrid on personal terms. He agreed to sign a deal worth €4m per season but problems arose during club-to-club negotiations.

Los Rojiblancos made an offer in January but it did not match Atalanta’s valuation.

This has given Manchester United a chance to make their efforts. Discussions have intensified with Ederson’s squad, with John Murtaugh’s presence in Bergamo likely to help the Red Devils.

It is believed an offer of €50m could seal a deal for Michael Carrick’s side. The exact structure of the deal La Dea wants is unknown but Manchester United are now the leading candidates for Ederson.

Rumors are increasing that the 26-year-old will leave in the summer.

Manchester United We’ve seen Antony explain his move to Real Betis more than once – and he’s not really changing the script.

The Brazilian is still performing strongly in Spain, with 13 goals and nine assists in 41 appearances this season. That output has helped him restore confidence after a difficult spell at Old Trafford, where things never went consistently well.

Recently he revealed about going to Real Betis “One of the best decisions of his life”. Now, in another interview globo esporteAntony has gone back to the same topics again. This time, he added a little more detail about what went wrong during his Manchester United tenure.

Antony again points to off-pitch issues

Antony emphasizes his struggles in England weren’t about football ability.

“The off-pitch part affects a lot. I had some problems outside football that affected me. It was a complicated moment, but it brought learning and maturity.” He said.

“It was in those difficult moments that I stopped, reflected and began to value the simple things. It was a difficult period behind the scenes, which very few people know about, but it made me realize that I needed to find myself and be good for things to flow.”

He made it clear that he has no regrets about joining Manchester United.

“I don’t forget playing football. I don’t regret going to Manchester. I’m grateful to the club. I learned a lot there.” Antony added.

Betis is still the turning point

Antony once again described His move to Real Betis As an important moment.

“It was very important for me. This is where I found myself. This is where I found myself and could become very happy in a short period of time.” he explained.

“Even before I arrived on loan, I was already mentally preparing, because I knew I had a short time and I could make a difference.”

He also spoke about how quickly things changed after leaving Manchester United.

“I was called again [by the national team] Immediately after arriving at Betis, which was very important for me. It was emotional because of the change. I was playing very little in England, not feeling good or happy and then I came here and helped the team, became one of the great players.

“Today I feel much more prepared, more mature. I’m living my best moments on and off the field with my family.”

Cristiano Ronaldo story adds fresh details

Antony at least offered something new as he shared more details about his time with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

“Cristiano is a great person. You learn a lot from him.” He said. “He once joked to me that people think he’s arrogant, but in daily life he’s very playful.”

“We used to sit at the table and he would talk about life, books and many other topics besides football. It was good because it helped us to differentiate. He would say: ‘Today we will not talk about football.’

There were light moments behind the scenes too.

“Once in the sauna he joked with me, showed me his body and asked if he looked 23 years old. I was embarrassed too, because you see the level of care he takes even at the age of almost 40. He is a reference for everyone.”

The magic of Man United still sets the tone

Antony keeps telling the same story, just with slightly different details each time. He clearly does not view Manchester United with despair, but it does not seem so either someone who remembers it. Meanwhile, United have also moved on.

Nevertheless, his form at Betis underlines that he is a player there. A reminder that context and environment can shape outcomes just as much as ability.

Manchester United AC Milan target Rafael Leao has deleted his social media after receiving backlash from fans.

o jogo aaj report on winger Because he is considering taking his career in a different direction next season.

fan criticism

The newspaper reports that Rafael Leao has managed only one goal and one assist in the last seven matches and has been criticized by his own fans.

This is pushing his departure this summer. The criticism and grief has reached such an extent that the 26-year-old has decided to deactivate her Instagram.

The decision came after a flood of critical comments regarding his performance in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Juventus. The winger has been going through a barren phase and is often being criticized by his own fans.

This is strengthening the arguments for him leaving at the end of the season. Reports have continuously linked him to several football legends.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City have all been credited with interest. Sport Witness covered a report from Jorge Mendes today There could be a move to Old Trafford for the winger this summer. Manchester United had reportedly initiated contacts about a move.

There is a possibility of transfer

Milan, for their part, would be willing to make a deal worth around €50-70m, with each report having a different figure. It is unclear whether Manchester United or any other English club will pay that amount.

But all indications are that Rafael Leao is headed for the exit. He continues to face criticism from Milan fans, who are not impressed with his current performances.

In fact, the criticism has reached such an extent that Forward has now started deleting its social media. That’s never a good sign, especially with transfer rumors flying around.

Manchester United definitely have an opportunity in front of them and Leao is preparing at the grassroots level.

A fan who racially abused of manchester united Marcus Rashford has been sentenced to nine months in prison at Barcelona.

sports world report A fan who shouted ‘racist insults’ at Rashford has been sentenced by the Provincial Court of Oviedo.

Marcus Rashford’s misbehavior leads to punishment

The newspaper reports that the court handed down its sentence on Wednesday against a man accused of racist insults at the Manchester United forward.

The matter came to light following a complaint filed by La Liga. The defendant has been convicted of the crime of ‘outraging the dignity of persons’ for racist reasons. He was sentenced to the following punishment:

• nine months in jail
• Fined for six months at a daily rate of €5.
• Special disqualification from any profession or occupation relating to education, sports and leisure activities for a period of three years and nine months.
• Ban on entry into football stadiums at any level for a period of three years.

La Liga gets tough on racism

Mundo Deportivo reports that this is the eleventh decision La Liga has received in the fight against racism.

The Spanish league is keen to continue reaffirming its ‘commitment and leadership’ against racism. They have been emphasizing awareness-raising, detection, and legal action since 2020.

The newspaper says they have become a ‘leading organisation’ against racism and hatred both inside and outside the stadium. This is despite the lack of authority to sanction clubs, fans, coaches or players for such conduct.

The conviction over the abuse of the Manchester United forward is being seen as another achievement in his fight against racism.

The 28-year-old joined Barcelona in the summer and has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists in 45 games in all competitions for the Catalan giants this season. The deal includes an option to buy in the summer transfer window, which Marcus Rashford would prefer.

Manchester United The foundations for a deal involving Rafael Leao have been laid and a player could also be included in the move.

The Portuguese attacker has not had a great season under Max Allegri. He has nine goals and three assists but more is expected of him at the Rossoneri, especially given his reputation.

His relationship with Allegri has seen its ups and downs and muscular injuries have also held the player back.

As doubts grow over Leao’s situation, Manchester United is increasingly emerging as a potential destination.

Milan considering sale

transfer market Let’s make it clear that Milan have closed Leo’s exit door many times before. Now, things are different and they would accept €50m to sell him.

He has spoken to Jorge Mendes about potentially finding a boyfriend and Manchester United have made an initial enquiry. The contact has been described as unofficial, as the Red Devils merely sought to understand more about the player’s transfer situation.

It is believed that Michael Carrick’s side could also introduce Joshua Zirkzee as part of the move. The Dutchman has been pursued by the Rossoneri and is now likely to end up at San Siro.

Manchester United are being seen as one of the possible candidates to sign Leao. Contract negotiations for the Portugal international are at a standstill, with the player looking to evaluate all offers before making a final decision on his future.

gazzetta dello sport Add more to the landscape. They confirm the possibility of Zirkzee being added to the deal. It is also hinted that the mediators are trying to help Leo get to England.

As a result, there will be discussions between Manchester United and Milan at the end of the season.

Our opinion: It is wise to contact Manchester United

A fee of €50m is a potential deal for a player of Rafael Leao’s usual quality.

Granted, he has been inconsistent throughout the campaign but Allegri’s system hasn’t helped him either. Often, the 26-year-old looks underserved.

Manchester United lacks players who can operate on the left and cut inside. Matheus Cunha feels like a player who is better suited centrally and Patrick Dorgu is versatile enough to play other roles. The lack of width has been a frequent theme at Old Trafford in recent weeks.

Leo could be the one to change that. He is at the right age and needs a club where he can really prove himself again.

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

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

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

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

Manchester United is now pushing for a sale

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

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

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

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

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

An environment of competition is being created across Europe

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

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

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

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

what happens next

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

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

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

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

Manu Kone has been exceptional for Roma this season but the chances of him moving are increasing newcastle united.

The 24-year-old has not played in Serie A since mid-March due to a hamstring injury. His absence has been felt in Roma.

They are currently out of the Champions League spots and clearly miss the midfield presence that sets the pace for Gian Piero Gasperini’s team.

The Frenchman has played 34 times in all competitions. He impresses with his ability to beat press in midfield and carry the ball forward.

A few months ago, sports witness Manchester United’s interest in Kone was covered. There was a growing feeling that the France international would leave Roma, having faced an approach from Inter Milan last summer.

Now, it is Newcastle United who are in the race to sign him.

FFP concerns could drive sales

messenger Today’s report states that Kone is a possible candidate to leave Roma due to his ongoing FFP concerns. The Giallorossi must make capital gains of €80m by June 30.

The 24-year-old is currently valued at €45m and his exit will give Roma a capital gain of €35m.

Inter are keen but Newcastle United could also meet a €45m valuation in the summer. If an offer for that amount comes in, Roma will be forced to sit down and evaluate it. The player will also consider a transfer, regardless of whether the Magpies advance to the World Cup before or after.

Roma would ideally like to wait to see how he performs in the tournament later this year. This could increase his value, however, FFP reasons mean he will have no option if the club comes knocking on June 30.

Our take: There’s a deal to be had

It seems as if Roma, on a weekly basis, are making it clear that they need money. A few weeks ago, the future of Ivan Ndika was also talked about in the same tone and that he too could leave in the summer.

Because of this, Newcastle United should keep an eye on Kone and take every chance they can to sign him. Inter generally prefer an initial loan but the Magpies are likely to have greater financial strength in the race.

They could lose a midfielder in the summer and the money earned from him could be used to bring in Kone. He is at the right age, his profile is dynamic and he can still get better.

newcastle united Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos joined the Premier League team from Nottingham Forest in July 2024.

Eddie Howe made him appear only once in his first season at St James’ Park.

Looking for regular playing time, Newcastle United allowed him to join Sevilla on a season-long loan deal last August.

The stopper’s decision to join the La Liga team has been a good one as he has been enjoying minutes this season. He made his debut for Sevilla in September and has been their No. 1 since then.

His La Liga statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 29
• Start: 29
• Total minutes: 2,610
• Target Allowed: 48
• Clean sheets: 4
• Total Savings: 83
• Savings per game: 2.9
• Penalty saved: 1/10

March 16, Seville Sports director Antonio Cordon said The Newcastle United-owned player intends to stay after this season.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain His future is at the mercy of the Magpies.

Important summer for Newcastle United

sky germany Now cover the latest on where the Stuttgart-born goalkeeper could play next season.

Sevilla have a desire to keep him but there is little chance of him remaining with them after this season. He must make a decision on his future, and the report emphasizes that the stopper faces ‘another important moment in his career’.

As the Andalusian club do not have a buyout clause, the 32-year-old will have to return to the Tyneside club in the summer.

Odysseas Vlachodimos is attracting the interest of several top unnamed clubs who have expressed a desire to sign him. The former VfB Stuttgart man could consider a return to the Bundesliga if he does not stay at Newcastle United next season.

He will only stay at Newcastle United if he becomes their No. 1 next season. In short, the Greece international needs reassurance from Eddie Howe and if not, he is likely to leave in the summer on loan or a permanent transfer.

Our opinion: Newcastle United are unstoppable

The Magpies could bring in a new goalkeeper in the next window and have already been linked to a few players.

If a new stopper arrives, Odysseas Vlachodimos will not be Newcastle United’s No. 1 next season. Looks like the summer is planning for him.

The Greek international’s contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is valued at €4m.

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

Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also keen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract, price and agent information

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

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

of manchester united The need to sign a midfielder is well known, with the Red Devils reportedly pushing for the signing of Sandro Tonali.

sports witness Newcastle United have regularly covered the Italian media’s interest in the player. He has often put forward Juventus as a destination, even though the Old Lady never had the financial strength to push for a deal.

Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Risso made it clear That he would be interested in living in England. This ruled out any possibility of the Italy international returning to Serie A in the near future.

Arsenal and Manchester City were previously linked with Tonali, it is Manchester United who are moving forward with a move.

The magpie is being forced out

alljuve Report on Newcastle United’s desperate need to make money in the summer. They had qualified for Europe last year but still had work to do on their accounts.

Things will be less comfortable this summer and a major sale will likely be required. Tonali is one of the contenders to leave, with Eddie Howe’s side demanding €100m to let him leave at the end of the campaign.

Manchester United have ‘already made their move’ for the 25-year-old, who is seen as first choice to improve their midfield. Tonali is considered the perfect replacement for Casemiro but the Red Devils would have to pay around €100m.

Competition from Manchester City could be a threat, with Atalanta’s Ederson seen as an option.

Our Opinion: It won’t be an easy chase for Tonali

While Manchester United are in line for Champions League qualification, Tonali will be difficult to chase. English clubs are becoming increasingly alert to his situation, which will only help Newcastle United increase their asking price.

Tonali’s squad are pushing the idea of ​​a summer transfer. There is every possibility that Michael Carrick’s team could be used for this, especially with Manchester City and Arsenal having a strong Italian presence in their squads.

In addition, Manchester United needs several midfielders next season. That’s why spending everything on one player may not be a good idea.

of manchester united The decision to move Antony makes sense when you juxtapose it with what he is doing at Real Betis.

Brazil has quietly produced its most productive performance in years. In all competitions, he has 13 goals and nine assists in 40 games. In La Liga, this is limited to seven goals and five assists in 26 appearances.

The underlying numbers also support this. Antony averages 0.54 goal involvements per 90 minutes. He takes 3.08 shots per game and scores once every 9.71 attempts.

Furthermore, he makes 2.04 key passes per match and completes 81.61% of his 43 passes per game.

It’s a very different level of involvement compared to what we saw at Old Trafford. In Spain, his role is clearer and he is much more involved in the final third. real daughters His career and his mentality changed.

It all comes at a crucial moment. The announcement of Brazil’s World Cup squad is approaching and Antony is trying to get back into the picture.

Betis’ decision is shaping international expectations

Antony has now come out openly espn brazil Regarding both his club situation and his Brazilian ambitions. His current situation at Betis clearly plays a big role in that push.

“Staying at Betis was one of the best decisions of my life,” Antony added. “I am very happy. my family was overweight In the decision. It is important to see them happy.”

“When the family is okay it makes things lighter on the field.”He concluded.

He was part of the squad for the last World Cup under Tite, but has not been able to perform much under Carlo Ancelotti so far. Still, he’s not giving up on building the next one.

“My biggest dream is to play in the World Cup, but I have to do my part, my job, the national team is the result.” He said.

“I really want to come back, play my second World Cup. It’s my aim to always wear the national team shirt.”

life without antony

Antony seems to be someone who has settled in Spain and not a player looking back at Manchester United.

But he thinks the chances go both ways. United have moved on without him and given the way things have turned out, they hardly miss him. The team changed and Antony’s role was never fully fleshed out during his stay in England.

“His current stats highlight that there is still a player out there,” he said. At Betis, he looks more confident, more engaged and more decisive.

This is a case of a player who needed a different setting to bring out his best level. This time is ideal for Antony. He has given himself a real chance to get back into the Brazilian conversation when it matters most.

It appears Ruben Amorim is fishing for his first job Manchester UnitedBy making it clear that he is ready to join Benfica.

CM Esporte Report The former Manchester United manager looks set to return to football with his former club this summer.

Available after Manchester United

Mys Sport report that Ruben Amorim is ‘available’ to coach Benfica if they want him. Coaches are openly acknowledging this possibility, should the job become available.

He will return to his former club but only if there is a ‘free seat’ at the club. He does not want to be a source of instability around Jose Mourinho at this time.

But the 41-year-old wants it to be known that he is available. He has been out of work since leaving Manchester United in January.

Although his aim is to remain abroad with a team with a ‘well-defined project’, Amorim has told his close friends that he will not refuse Benfica next season. But he doesn’t want to be a source of disruption.

He also does not want to be the reason why Benfica does not remain with Mourinho next season. Thus, he will only talk to the Portuguese club if they contact him after the official announcement of Mourinho’s departure.

terms of play

If Ruben Amorim were to return to management, he would want to achieve what he achieved during his six seasons at Sporting. He wants complete control over signings and all professional football.

It worked well in Lisbon as he won six major trophies during his tenure at the club. This helped him end the club’s 19-year league title drought and establish an impressive, record-breaking team.

He was unable to replicate this at Manchester United, but he clearly wants to replicate the set-up if he is to return to Portugal with Benfica. For now, it appears he’s just putting his word out there, making it clear that he’s available.

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

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

Manchester United’s interest

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

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

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

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

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

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

€45 million asking price

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

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

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

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

RB Leipzig more likely to sign star Yann Diomande liverpool instead Manchester United in this summer.

BILD reports that he marks ‘Powerhouse’ Manchester United is cold at the moment. Why? Because their priority is to sign a replacement for Casemiro this summer.

Summer transfer possibility

Yann Diomande has fans across Europe after a successful debut season in Germany with RB Leipzig.

The 19-year-old is one of the hottest transfer prospects of the summer and a long line of potential suitors awaits him. In fact, BILD say he is on the radar of ‘all the top European clubs’.

Leipzig want to keep him for at least one more season, unless they receive an ‘excessive’ offer they cannot refuse. However, some inside the club believe he will stay. He is seen as ‘too good’ to hold on.

His agency, RockNation, is already hard at work generating interest.

he saw them meeting with liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in early February. So far, no club has concretely expressed interest in Leipzig.

But that meeting with Liverpool puts them ahead of Manchester United for the time being.

According to BILD, a possible transfer to Old Trafford is on ice. The Red Devils are more focused on finding Casemiro’s successor than signing Diomonde.

Liverpool eye Salah’s replacement

It makes sense for Liverpool to be first in line for Yann Diomande, with Mohamed Salah set to depart this summer.

Meanwhile, Manchester United already have Brian Mbuemo and Amad on the right wing. Spending €100 million on another right winger when other areas of the team need attention would be foolish to say the least.

Perhaps this is the mindset at Old Trafford at the moment, which is why the track is now ‘cool’. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool take advantage of this.

Manchester United Elche is one of the clubs pursuing CF’s David Affengruber for the summer.

After a spell at Sturm Graz, the Austria international joins the La Liga team on a free transfer in 2024.

At the time, Elche were in the second division and the centre-back played a key role in helping them secure promotion. He played 40 matches in the Segunda División last season

• Interceptions per game: 1.4
• Tackles per game: 2.1

Manchester United joins La Liga

Many clubs in Spain and abroad are keeping a close eye on David Affengruber. is according to sports worldAnd Manchester United belongs to the latter category.

The Elche CF manager takes a liking to the 25-year-old and insists he has to represent Austria at the World Cup.

“If he doesn’t go to the World Cup, it will be one of the biggest injustices in football history,” He said.

“We were on the bench, we had the last substitution, and I could see he was tired. But I told him he has fighting spirit and hunger. When the football isn’t enough, Affengruber is there. He motivates the team, especially when you have that animal behind you. It’s a team win, but given their league-leading position, it was especially important.”

The newspaper then looks at Atletico Madrid’s interest in the defender. Earlier this week, he scored a goal and assisted in his team’s 3–2 win over Los Rojiblancos.

He impressed Diego Simeone’s team, who could include him on their target list for the summer.

The Austrian has already proven himself in La Liga and has ‘great international potential’, which makes him attractive in the market.

Atletico are not the only club to show interest in him, with Manchester United, Villarreal, Real Betis and Sevilla also keen. These clubs are now keeping a close eye on the player.

Elche, for their part, value Affengruber at around €20m. This should certainly be fair to the Premier League side.

There are other central defenders on Manchester United’s radar. Earlier this week, Sport Witness Covered claims from Portugal The Red Devils are keen on Sporting’s Goncalo Inácio.

Contract, price and agent information

The player will have one year remaining on his contract after this season. Without renewal, the summer window will be the last chance for Elche to earn good fees from its sales.

Value, according to David Affengruber transfer market€9m, and 11Wins are managing it.

Venezia’s Issa Doumbia is now attracting people’s attention everton And newcastle unitedHas attracted other British clubs before.

In December, sports witness Covered Celtic’s scouting mission for the midfielder. Southampton were also in the running, having made an offer to sign him last summer.

It was made very late in the window, leaving Venezia little time to sign a replacement. As a result, Doumbia remained in Venice and is now moving rapidly.

He has played 34 times in Serie B, scoring six times and assisting five times. It has been crucial for the Lagurani, who top the table and are on the verge of a return to Serie A.

This also means increased attention around Doumbia. Newcastle United and Everton are well into the race, with major Italian sides also keen.

Besiktas talks continue

New Venice – Go tutomercatowebLet’s see where the 22-year-old’s future may lie.

Newcastle United and Everton have ‘expressed interest’ in the Italian, with Inter Milan and Roma keeping a close eye on his development.

It doesn’t end there, as Besiktas are really working to land him. There is an agreement on individual terms between Doumbia and the Turkish side, with an offer of €15m already on the table from Venezia.

Talks are also ongoing between the two clubs, with Besiktas pushing to close a deal.

Meanwhile, the Venice club plans to use that money and strengthen their attack upon Doumbia’s departure.

Our Opinion: The deal is not done yet

It feels like an effort is being made to raise Doumbia’s profile, in order to attract as many clubs as possible. While Besiktas may be interested, a report Marco Conterio There is also no mention of Turkish clubs.

Furthermore, how Venezia’s season ends will define everything. They are three points clear at the top and could be pushed into the playoff zone.

That’s why Everton and Newcastle United should keep an eye on Doumbia. He boasts the ability to cover ground and adds unpredictability in the final third. Doumbia also places a strong emphasis on winning the ball back, making him a good fit for English football.

newcastle united Midfielder Bruno Guimarães has given a candid insight into Brazil’s mentality heading into the World Cup, while also highlighting how the environment at his club is a far cry from the national team setup.

The 28-year-old remains a central figure for both club and country.

Despite currently working on his recovery from injury, he is already a guaranteed starter for Brazil when fully fit. This reflects both his importance to Newcastle and his position in the national team.

In an extensive interview with globo esporte In Brazil, Guimarães addressed a turbulent international cycle, while also making clear that belief within the team remains strong. we’ve already covered The second part of that conversation first.

Bruno Guimarães on Brazil’s confidence and World Cup ambitions

Bruno Guimaraes did not hold back when discussing His commitment to Brazil’s World Cup ambitions. He made it clear that the players see the tournament as the ultimate goal despite recent instability.

“Being Brazilians, we believe in everything. We always have to believe (in the title), and we have already shown that it is possible. We see great players in great form. You know how the World Cup is, it is a small competition. The support of the fans, the energy, the positive messages, it all helps. And we believe until the end.”

He then went on to describe his personal inspiration.

“If it’s up to us players, as I said, for me it’s like the last meal. I would give my life for it. If I had to die on the field for Brazil, I would do it. Because this has always been my biggest dream – to wear the Brazil shirt at the World Cup. If we can become champions, as I really believe, it will be unforgettable.”

The midfielder also stressed the importance of a strong start to the competition.

“This is something we have to pay a lot of attention to. I consider the first game to be fundamental. Starting well, getting three points, boosts confidence. For me, the opening match is the important game in the group.”

Newcastle vs Brazil fixture changes

Bruno Guimarães compared his experience under Eddie Howe at Newcastle to the constant changes in the Brazilian system in recent years.

“It’s very difficult. At Newcastle, they already speak and with a few handshakes we know what needs to change, we understand exactly what he wants. We can adapt more easily.”

He acknowledged that the national team environment has been less stable.

“I think the cycle has been a bit turbulent. There have been many changes, not only of managers but also presidents. A lot has happened, and we are still trying to adapt to Ancelotti as quickly as possible.”

That contrast is important for Newcastle. Guimaraes has developed within a stable tactical structure at St James’ Park, which has helped him become one of the Premier League’s most consistent midfielders.

What does this mean for Newcastle United

For Newcastle, the main thing is that the Guimaraes forward remains fully focused and highly motivated his return from injury.

His comments highlight his leadership role and mindset. Even while being sidelined, he is thinking about key moments for both club and country.

If his recovery goes well, Newcastle will get back a player who will not only set the pace in midfield but also bring intensity and responsibility in big matches.

That’s why both Eddie Howe and Brazil see him as indispensable at a crucial period.

Manchester United And Manchester City Now Maxi Araujo is stepping into the race, but the story has been going on for a while.

The Sporting CP player has been one of the standout performers among Portuguese clubs in this season’s Champions League. Despite Sporting’s exit at the quarter-final stage, his numbers and impact have kept him firmly in the headlines.

Statistically, Araújo has recorded 43 tackles in the competition – the most in this year’s Champions League. He also ranks among the leaders of duels won with 77, placing him behind names like Lamin Yamal and Giuliano Simeone.

These figures help explain why Premier League interest emerged in the first place. As we reportedTottenham Hotspur and Chelsea were early proponents, making contact with the player’s representatives and sending scouts to keep an eye on him in Lisbon and internationally.

Now, the situation is evolving.

Manchester club moved into position

Maxi Araujo is now attracting the attention of both Manchester United and Manchester City.

according to to ballTwo Manchester clubs are currently leading English interest and are actively assessing what it takes to sign him this summer.

we’ve covered The initial approach from Manchester United dates back to about a month ago, but Manchester City’s presence adds some spice to the conversation.

Surveillance and initial contact began with tottenham and chelsea Now entering a phase where big financial players are preparing for possible moves.

performance is increasing demand

Maxi Araujo’s comprehensive season boosts Champions League impact.

He has played 37 matches in all competitions, starting 33 of them, scoring six goals and four assists. In Europe, he contributed two goals and one assist, often in high-intensity matches. He was Sporting’s standout performer in the quarter-finals Match against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Also, their strategic profile remains a major attraction. He has played mainly as a left-back this season, but his ability to operate as a wing-back or winger gives clubs many options.

That versatility, combined with his defensive output, makes him a strong fit for teams that rely on dynamic wide players.

The state of the game and the reality of the market

Sporting are not actively looking to sell. In fact, They’re trying to give him a raise To stay a little longer. But they understand the pressure. They also believe that strong offers can turn the situation around quickly.

He is under contract until 2029 and has an €80m (£69m) release clause. However, reports suggest Sporting will consider offers in the €40m-€50m (£34.5m-£43m) range.

This makes it an attainable – and welcome – entry point for clubs such as Manchester United and Manchester City.

what happens next

Maxi Araujo is now at the center of an escalating transfer battle. The involvement of Manchester United and Manchester City raises the stakes, while Tottenham and Chelsea remain part of the picture after their initial moves.

With strong performance, elite level data and growing demand, the next steps will depend on which club decides to act first.

Games may be trying to hold their own, but the market is starting to revolve around them.

AS Roma need to secure €80m in capital gains by June 30^th could give Manchester United Easy route to midfielder Manu Kone or Ivan Ndika.

Il Messagero reports on the situation today And how the red carpet could be rolled out for Manchester United this summer.

incoming revenue

The newspaper reports that Roma are working to reduce that figure as much as possible. They have already signed various sponsorship deals and are expecting around €15m from the Lega Serie A deal with IMG.

This will help them breathe easier, but there is a possibility of a sale, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Manu Kone is likely to be the prime candidate for sale. He has a lot of suitors, including Inter Milan. In fact, according to Il Messaggero, he is the one who is ‘closest to a possible departure’.

Manchester United have been linked for months.

a report from january They were named as contenders along with PSG, Atlético Madrid and Inter. Three months later, again a report Manchester United was in the mix as it was explained that Roma needed to sell.

The situation is similar with Ndica also. He is also one of the big names who will be ‘forced to say goodbye’ in the coming months. All indications are that the Italian club will open its doors to bids to help balance the books.

manchester united needs

Of the two players, Manu Kone means the most to Manchester United. They are in need of a new defensive midfielder following the departure of Casemiro this summer.

There is also an expectation that Manuel Ugarte will be moved, so Cone could be the answer. And at 24 years old, Kobi will represent a long-term investment and long-term partner for Manu.

It all depends on the asking price, which is expected to be €45m. But Roma are desperate for money, so it is unlikely to be a fixed price by any means.

Instead, the need for money makes the Frenchman a potential bargain option for Manchester United and others.
