TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool is keeping an eye on AC Milan and USMNT winger Christian Pulisic, as reported by Nicolo Schira. The 27-year-old’s contract at the San Siro runs until 2027 but has a unilateral option to extend it until 2028. Pulisic is content in Milan and anticipated a contract extension from the Serie A side, which has yet to materialize. He has scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 20 matches across all competitions this season.
– Manchester United will not entertain offers below Barcelona’s €30 million option to make Marcus Rashford‘s loan permanent, according to Diario Sport. Barcelona aims to negotiate a new agreement to retain the forward after his loan period concludes, but United believes the current valuation is quite fair. The 28-year-old has made a strong impression at Camp Nou but will return to Old Trafford if Barcelona does not finalize a deal.
– Manchester United is leading the race to acquire Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye, despite interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, as per TeamTalk. United views the 25-year-old as a key candidate to fill Rashford’s role in the squad if his transfer to Barcelona becomes permanent. Eight top-tier Premier League clubs are pursuing the Senegal international, while Ndiaye has reacted positively to the speculation but reiterated his commitment to aiding the Toffees in their European ambitions.
– Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has received significant offers from Chicago Fire, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, Fenerbahce, and the Saudi Pro League as his contract nears expiration this summer, reports Mundo Deportivo. The 37-year-old remains composed regarding his future and will not make a decision until April, reviewing both Barcelona’s proposal and those from other clubs. Lewandowski will prioritize Barcelona based on the offer he receives, focusing on stability and family well-being over financial aspects.
