TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United is exploring a surprising option in Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, according to The Mirror. The Red Devils are compiling a list of potential midfield candidates for the upcoming summer transfer window and are closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation amid increasing rumors of his potential departure from the Reds this summer, although acquiring him would be a significant challenge. Sources have informed ESPN that Manchester United has also shown interest in Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba , and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.
– Liverpool considers Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise to be the closest option to a perfect replacement for Mohamed Salah, as reported by TEAMtalk. Nevertheless, Bayern is set to dismiss any notions of a transfer for the former Crystal Palace player, who is not in a hurry to return to the Premier League, and they are even preparing to initiate discussions regarding a new contract despite his existing deal lasting until 2029. Liverpool’s alternatives include RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, and Paris Saint-Germain duo Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola. Meanwhile, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are also showing interest in Olise, but his transfer could exceed €100 million.
– Arsenal has been informed that Athletic Club winger Nico Williams is contemplating a move away from the club this summer, as reported by TEAMtalk. The 23-year-old’s contract features a release clause estimated at around €100 million, with Barcelona and the Gunners being the two clubs that attract him the most. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich have also been made aware that he could be available through “intermediaries.”
– Juventus will re-engage with Marcos Senesi‘s agent to attempt to finalize an agreement to sign the center back as a free agent when his contract with AFC Bournemouth concludes this summer, as reported by Nicolo Schira. Juventus is striving to surpass Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, and Manchester United in the pursuit of the 28-year-old.
– Manchester United will keep an eye on Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney as the Red Devils strategize their midfield recruitment ahead of the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. Middlesbrough was firm in January to fend off interest from Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur, but there is a belief that Hackney will be competing in Premier League football next season, whether through promotion or a transfer, and his connections with former Boro manager Michael Carrick (who is now at Old Trafford) could be pivotal for his future. However, Everton is also monitoring the situation of the 23-year-old.
