TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool has made an initial inquiry to Internazionale regarding the signing of right-back Denzel Dumfries, according to Sky Sports Italia. The 29-year-old Netherlands international has faced ankle injury issues since November, and any negotiations may hinge on the severity of Jeremie Frimpong‘s injury. but, Fabrizio Romano mentions that Liverpool’s search won’t include Feyenoord’s Givairo Read, even as Bayern Munich and Manchester City are keen on the 19-year-old for a summer transfer.
– Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli are among the players Arsenal could consider including in an offer for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, according to TEAMtalk. Both players have attracted interest away from the Emirates and are on Atlético’s radar. Alvarez reportedly prefers a move to Barcelona, while Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also been contacted by intermediaries. The Gunners are hopeful that their willingness to include an established player will bolster their chances of finalizing a deal.
– Sky Sports Italia reports that talks are ongoing for Internazionale to secure Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones on loan with an option to purchase for €40 million. The 25-year-old has already given his consent for the transfer, although Liverpool has yet to agree. Should the England international join, it may allow the club to permit Davide Frattesi to depart, given interest from Nottingham Forest. Simultaneously, Inter is active in the transfer market, negotiating for Al Ittihad’s Moussa Diaby, PSV Eindhoven’s Ivan Perisic, and Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy.
– Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Inter have all initiated discussions with Bayern Munich center-back Dayot Upamecano, as reported by TEAMtalk. Bayern has informed the 27-year-old that their contract renewal offer will only be available for a limited time, with his current contract ending this summer. The club remains optimistic about reaching an agreement but has genuine concerns over the intense interest from other clubs.
– Juventus is still pursuing the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, claims Tuttosport. Juve is making considerable efforts to secure the striker, who would prefer a return to Juventus if Spurs are open to an early termination of his loan. Talks with PSG are said to be “lively and fruitful,” but if an agreement isn’t reached, they might pivot to Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee or recall loanee Álvaro Morata from AC Milan.
