TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester City and Manchester United are competing to acquire Elliot Anderson this summer, as reported by the Daily Mirror. The Nottingham Forest midfielder has become a prime target for both teams following his significant impact on the England national team. Anderson, aged 23, is estimated to be worth around £75 million, but a bidding war could increase that figure. Should Forest face relegation from the Premier League at the season’s end, it’s said they will have “no choice” but to let Anderson depart.
– Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones may be back on Inter Milan’s radar, according to Corriere dello Sport. In January, both Inter and AC Milan showed interest in the England international, but no formal offers came through. With Jones, 25, entering the final year of his Liverpool contract this June, he could potentially be signed for a reduced fee. also, Inter is eyeing a loan for Liverpool defender Giovanni Leoni if he becomes available this summer.
– Barcelona is hopeful of sealing a permanent deal for winger Marcus Rashford this summer, as stated by Fabrizio Romano. The 28-year-old is currently on loan from Manchester United, and an agreement in the loan terms allows the Spanish club to sign him permanently for an agreed fee. While personal terms appear “almost settled” from the player’s standpoint, Manchester United’s demand for the entire €30 million fee may pose challenges. Rashford has appeared 21 times in La Liga this season, netting four goals and providing seven assists.
– Aston Villa is among several Premier League clubs interested in signing Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, according to TEAMtalk. The 23-year-old has mainly been a backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma this season, featuring only 11 times across all competitions thus far. Newcastle United is also monitoring Trafford after attempting to sign him in January.
– Tino Livramento could part ways with Newcastle United at the close of the season, with Manchester City expressing interest, as reported by the Daily Telegraph. Livramento has hesitated to extend his contract at St James’ Park, indicating he would be open to a transfer if approached by a “top club.” The Telegraph also notes that even if Livramento agrees to a new contract at Newcastle, it will likely have a release clause. The England international’s existing deal expires in July 2028.
