TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea’s attacking midfielder Cole Palmer is open to a move to Manchester United, according to The Sun. The 23-year-old is reportedly unhappy in London, and while he wouldn’t return to Manchester City, he has an interest in joining United, a club he supported during his youth. Meanwhile, the Mirror indicates that midfielder Bruno Fernandes is willing to extend his contract at Old Trafford if the offered wage is £400,000 per week. Fernandes, 31, understands his worth, and he has been informed that the club’s management would like him to stay. A decision is anticipated by the end of the season.
– Nottingham Forest has entered the fray to sign Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Daily Mail reports that the Premier League side has submitted a £35 million bid for the 28-year-old, but Palace is believed to be seeking a higher amount to facilitate the signing of a replacement. Mateta has also been linked with Juventus, as Fabrizio Romano states they have made an inquiry for on-loan Tottenham Hotspur forward Randal Kolo Muani. The 27-year-old has been identified as a prominent candidate, but negotiating could be challenging with Spurs keen to retain him.
– Fulham is making progress in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb, according to Florian Plettenberg. A verbal agreement on personal terms is reportedly in place with the 22-year-old, and only “final details” remain before the expected permanent transfer, anticipated to be valued between £35 million and £45 million, is confirmed. He is not Fulham’s sole target: sources revealed to ESPN on Sunday that Fulham has tabled a €32 million offer for USMNT and PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi.
– Liverpool has no intention of entertaining offers for captain Virgil van Dijk this summer, as reported by Football Insider. The 34-year-old is contracted to Anfield until the summer of 2027, and the club is hesitant to let go of defenders amid efforts to bolster their depth in that area. In other news, left-back Andy Robertson may still exit the club with interest from Tottenham, according to TEAMtalk. although earlier reports suggesting that the 31-year-old Scotland international would remain at Anfield due to squad considerations, the club is contemplating recalling on-loan Roma left-back Kostas Tsimikas, which could pave the way for Robertson’s transfer to north London.
