TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool and Manchester United have shown interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder João Gomes, as reported by TEAMtalk. Both clubs have been observing the 25-year-old in recent weeks while considering midfield additions for the summer, but any potential agreement is likely to encounter competition from various parties, including Chelsea and Manchester City, who are also rumored to be interested. Gomes recorded an assist in his 29th appearance of the season during the 2-2 Premier League draw against Brentford on Monday.
– Atlético Madrid is closely monitoring Arsenal forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, according to TEAMtalk. The LaLiga club is reportedly evaluating both players as they contemplate a possible acquisition, although other clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia are also showing interest, with the belief that the Gunners may be willing to sell both players if their asking price is met. Jesus, 28, has only made two Premier League starts this season, while 24-year-old Martinelli has had 16 of his 25 appearances come off the bench.
– Manchester United is determined to retain captain Bruno Fernandes, as stated by the Daily Mail. The club’s management is reportedly resolute in keeping the 31-year-old midfielder at Old Trafford, and while a £57 million release clause permits clubs outside the Premier League to sign him, he is expected to make a decision regarding his future at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Nicolo Schira reports that Juventus is considering “the possibility” of acquiring 24-year-old striker Joshua Zirkzee, who remains linked with a departure from the club in the summer.
– Manchester City may consider selling winger Savinho in the summer, according to Football Insider. The 21-year-old is among several players identified for a potential exit as the Citizens plan a squad revamp, having struggled to secure regular starts since winger Antoine Semenyo joined from AFC Bournemouth in January. Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in the Brazilian, but any approach will depend on whether they avoid relegation from the Premier League.
– AC Milan is interested in AZ Alkmaar and Republic of Ireland international forward Troy Parrott, as reported by The Independent. The 24-year-old is one of the candidates being evaluated by the Rossoneri in their search for a striker, and the Eredivisie club would reportedly be willing to sell him if they receive an offer around £25 million. Parrott, who netted a dramatic hat trick in the 3-2 FIFA World Cup qualifier victory against Hungary in November to secure a spot in this month’s playoffs, has directly contributed to 17 goals in 22 league matches this season.
