TRENDING RUMORS
– According to the Telegraph, Manchester United aim to replace midfielder Casemiro with Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali. The future of the 25-year-old at St. James’s Park is unclear after links to Arsenal in January, and now United are eager to outpace their London rivals in signing the player they envision partnering with the promising Kobbie Mainoo next season. Tonali is eager to play in the Champions League next season and may consider a move, with Manchester City and Juventus also anticipated to show interest.
– Juventus appear to be the frontrunners for forward Randal Kolo Muani on a permanent deal this summer, as Tottenham Hotspur seems hesitant to make his current loan a permanent one, per Teamtalk. The London club was open to his departure in January, but no offers were made to his parent club, Paris Saint-Germain. Muani is aware of his limited chances in Thomas Frank’s regular squad and, despite excelling in the Champions League, seems poised to return to Paris in June with two years remaining on his contract.
– Real Madrid are strategizing for next season, with PSG’s Vitinha identified as their primary target and AZ Alkmaar’s Kees Smit as a secondary option, according to AS. Madrid aims to refine their squad for a double challenge in La Liga and the Champions League, viewing Vitinha as a player with essential leadership qualities. The 27-year-old is under contract until 2029 and is reportedly content in France, which could complicate Madrid’s interest. Smit, 19, would be easier to acquire but isn’t fully developed yet. Madrid is also preparing for the return of Endrick and Nico Paz from their loans.
– Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah could see his salary soar to £1.2 million-per-week if he joins Al Nassr as Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor, per the Mirror. The 33-year-old would become the face of the Saudi Pro League should they persuade him to leave Liverpool, where he has spent nine years. The league is eager to find a replacement for Ronaldo, who is considering walking away from Al Nassr amidst perceived favoritism towards Al Hilal in the transfer market. The Portugal star is nearing 1,000 career goals but may return to Europe to achieve that milestone, with links to an emotional return to Sporting Lisbon.
– Wolfsburg defender Konstantinos Koulierakis is being targeted by both Inter Milan and Juventus this summer, according to Calciomercato. The 22-year-old joined from PAOK and has established himself as a vital component of the Bundesliga side, also becoming integral to Greece’s national team. The left-footed centre-back is proficient in both a back three and four and excels in aerial contests. With a contract running until 2029, Koulierakis is also drawing attention from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, and would require a fee estimated between €35 million and €45 million.
