TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konaté is still some way from signing a new contract, according to Teamtalk. Konaté believes he should be among the top-paid defenders in the Premier League, leading to complications over an extension. even so, the report also mentions that Liverpool has a potential replacement in mind. The club has shown interest in Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, although any deal may involve a substantial transfer fee. Real Madrid is also monitoring the situation of the Netherlands international.
– Chelsea is contemplating a transfer for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, as per talkSPORT. The club is seeking a center-back — ESPN sources have confirmed communications with Rennes regarding Jérémy Jacquet — and have added Senesi, whose contract ends in June, to their list of targets. Barcelona and Juventus have shown interest as well.
– Arsenal is prepared to let go of striker Gabriel Jesus. The Daily Mail reports of Palmeiras’s interest in the 28-year-old, but he is inclined to wait until the end of the season to prove his worth. Meanwhile, The Sun indicates that Arsenal is scouting 19-year-old Real Madrid defender Víctor Valdepeñas. They are reportedly one of several top clubs sending scouts to evaluate him after his LaLiga debut against Alaves last month. Valdepeñas can play both center-back and full-back.
– Uncertainty is mounting around Atletico Madrid forward Julián Álvarez, as highlighted by journalist Matteo Moretto. Clubs are reportedly checking into the 25-year-old’s status, with Barcelona being a recent link. The Blaugrana believe securing a deal for Álvarez could be challenging due to Atleti’s expected valuation, but they are ready to proceed if negotiations are possible. Fabrizio Romano also notes that the LaLiga side is “closely monitoring” Paris Saint-Germain forward Gonçalo Ramos as a potential summer signing, should Álvarez leave the Wanda Metropolitano.
– Al Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves is reportedly open to a transfer to Manchester United, according to Football Insider. The 28-year-old’s representatives have allegedly reached out to United about a potential move to Old Trafford, and a transfer before the window closes is a possibility. also, manager Michael Carrick intends to retain midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, despite earlier chatter of a loan move, as he has gained the “instant trust” of the Man United interim head coach. Mainoo played the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 Premier League victory over Manchester City on Saturday.

EXPERT TAKE
Is Manchester City’s acquisition of defender Marc Guéhi a wise decision or an unneeded expense? ESPN’s Nedum Onouha shares his thoughts:
I think Abdukodir Khusanov has performed admirably. Max Alleyne has also done well, but bringing in a full England international at this stage of the season means something. Yes, the £20m premium is significant, and perhaps he could have been a late-season signing. but, necessity is key now. If they aim for success by season’s end, they can’t afford to let weaknesses linger until March and April.
One concern for City’s defense is the aging of players like John Stones and Nathan Aké, which complicates future team-building. But Guehi, in his mid-20s, is an excellent pick not just for now, but for years to come.
