TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea’s attacking midfielder Cole Palmer is reportedly open to a move to Manchester United, as stated by The Sun. The 23-year-old is said to be feeling unsettled in London, and while he is not inclined to return to Manchester City, he is thought to be interested in a transfer to United, a club he supported during his childhood. Meanwhile, the Mirror indicates that midfielder Bruno Fernandes is willing to extend his contract at Old Trafford if he receives an offer of £400,000 per week. The 31-year-old is aware of his worth and knows that the club’s management prefers he stays. A decision is anticipated at the end of the season.
– Nottingham Forest has entered the competition to acquire Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League side has submitted a £35 million bid for the 28-year-old, but it is believed that Palace would favor a higher offer to facilitate the signing of a replacement. Mateta has also been linked with Juventus, who, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, have inquired about on-loan Tottenham Hotspur forward Randal Kolo Muani. The 27-year-old has been identified as a potential target, but securing a deal may prove challenging as Spurs are reluctant to let him go.
– Fulham has made progress in their efforts to sign Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb, according to Florian Plettenberg. A verbal agreement on personal terms has reportedly been reached with the 22-year-old, with only the “final details” left to finalize before the permanent transfer, which is expected to be valued between £35 million and £45 million, can be confirmed by both clubs. He is not their sole target: Sources informed ESPN on Sunday that Fulham has made a €32 million offer for USMNT and PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi.
– Liverpool is not considering offers for captain Virgil van Dijk this summer, as reported by Football Insider. The 34-year-old is under contract at Anfield until the summer of 2027, and Liverpool is hesitant to part with defenders as they aim to enhance their depth in that area. In other news, left-back Andy Robertson could still depart the club amid interest from Tottenham this month, according to TEAMtalk. Despite earlier reports suggesting that the 31-year-old Scotland international would remain at Anfield due to squad depth, the club is contemplating recalling on-loan Roma left-back Kostas Tsimikas, which could pave the way for Robertson to make a move to north London.
