TRENDING RUMORS
– According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has caught the attention of Juventus. The Bianconeri have reportedly included the 33-year-old Brazil international on their shortlist as they seek a solution for the No. 1 position amid concerns regarding Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin. There is a belief that a chance to sign him could arise when he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield this summer. Alisson, who joined from AS Roma in 2018, has continued to be the starting goalkeeper for the Reds this season, despite the signing of substitute goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. He is the latest player linked with a move to the Serie A club, which is also considering Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario.
– Barcelona is reportedly interested in acquiring Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush, as stated by Sport. The 27-year-old has been identified as a possible alternative to Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez, and he is viewed as a suitable addition to manager Hansi Flick’s system. There is optimism that he could be signed for under €75 million in the summer. Additionally, Sport mentions that the Blaugrana have communicated their intention to the representatives of 31-year-old wing back João Cancelo regarding a permanent transfer next season. The Portugal international is currently on loan from Al Hilal, and while there is no option clause in the agreement, discussions over a fee are anticipated, as the LaLiga club has been impressed with his performances since his arrival in January.
– Both Manchester United and Manchester City are showing interest in Nottingham Forest midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, according to The Daily Mail. The Manchester clubs are reportedly keeping an eye on the duo’s situation ahead of potential summer transfers, although more teams may enter the fray if Forest faces relegation from the Premier League this season. Gibbs-White, 27, is among the latest players linked with a move to Old Trafford, while a transfer for 23-year-old Anderson, who has also been associated with the Etihad Stadium as a potential successor to Rodri, is expected to necessitate an offer of at least £100 million.
– Borussia Dortmund is expected to demand a fee of approximately €70 million from clubs interested in signing midfielder Felix Nmecha, amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, as reported by Bild. The situation of the 25-year-old at Signal Iduna Park is said to be “sensitive” following his association with an agency based in England, and it appears that BVB would be open to selling him if their transfer valuation is met. The Bundesliga club is also anticipating interest in winger Karim Adeyemi, 24, and striker Serhou Guirassy, 29, with hopes of generating significant funds from these three transactions to revamp their squad.
– Everton is contemplating an approach for Manchester City defender John Stones. Football Insider reports that the Toffees are considering signing the 31-year-old on a free transfer when his contract concludes in the summer. However, there are concerns that the deal could be complicated due to the likelihood of him requesting a substantial signing-on fee and his recent injury struggles. The report suggests that it seems increasingly probable that Stones will depart the Etihad Stadium, concluding a tenure just shy of 10 years since his arrival from Goodison Park in August 2016.
