TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea are among the teams monitoring Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi, as reported by The Sun. It is indicated that Bournemouth is preparing for offers for the 19-year-old this summer, with a transfer fee around £80 million potentially facilitating his departure. He joined the Vitality Stadium from Lorient last year and has netted eight goals in 20 Premier League appearances this season.
– Manchester City is gearing up to make an offer for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to TeamTalk. They reportedly view the 23-year-old as a long-term prospect, but any move will depend on whether manager Pep Guardiola remains at the Etihad Stadium. A deal is anticipated to require an offer in the range of £80 million to £100 million, with Manchester United also closely monitoring his situation.
– Paris Saint-Germain has entered the competition for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. TeamTalk states that PSG has been “active” in pursuing the 22-year-old, who has been previously linked with Manchester United and Chelsea. Earlier reports suggest that an offer between £50 million and £75 million could be sufficient to secure his signature.
– Manchester United and Chelsea are also showing interest in Tromso midfielder Abubacarr Kinteh, as per the Daily Mail. It is reported that scouts from across Europe have been observing the 19-year-old this season, with both Premier League clubs preparing to make a move for him in the summer. The report notes that both Basel and Young Boys are aware of the increasing interest in his services, and with the Swiss transfer window not closing until February 16, they may attempt to finalize a deal before other clubs from Europe’s top leagues emerge.
– Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is being monitored by AC Milan, according to Tuttosport. The Rossoneri are eager to strengthen their attacking options in the summer, amid expectations that Mexico international Santiago Gimenez will be transferred after the FIFA World Cup, with Jesus being one of their primary targets. The 28-year-old has only made two Premier League starts this season due to stiff competition for places with both Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz. Fiorentina’s Moise Kean, 25, is viewed as a possible alternative.
