TRENDING RUMORS
– Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool have entered the competition to acquire Aston Villa’s attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, as reported by TEAMtalk. PSG has been observing the 23-year-old’s situation throughout this season, while Liverpool is also eager to secure his services alongside Manchester United and Arsenal. Rogers’ representatives are aware of the interest, but he is under contract at Villa Park until 2031, meaning a substantial transfer fee would be necessary to bring him on board.
– AC Milan is poised to dismiss interest in USMNT winger Christian Pulisic from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to Football Insider. Previous reports suggested that an offer of approximately €70 million might be needed to persuade the Serie A club to part with the 27-year-old, but the Rossoneri reportedly wish to retain him. Pulisic is currently Milan’s leading scorer, having netted eight goals in the league this season.
– Manchester City is preparing to pursue Newcastle right back Tino Livramento, according to TalkSPORT. Pep Guardiola’s team has been monitoring the 23-year-old for “several months,” viewing him as a long-term option for the right side of their defense, where they have utilized versatile midfielder Matheus Nunes this season. Newcastle remains optimistic about securing Livramento to a new contract at St. James’ Park, although he has not yet shown a willingness to agree to new terms.
– Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade is reportedly dissatisfied at the club, as per Bild. Woltemade, 24, recently transferred from VfB Stuttgart for €75 million in August but is already considering a return to the Bundesliga soon, expressing openness to either going back to Stuttgart or joining Bayern Munich, who had shown interest in him during the summer. The 6-foot-6 Germany international has scored 10 goals in 38 matches for Newcastle across all competitions this season.
– Negotiations are advancing between Liverpool and midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai regarding a new contract. TEAMtalk indicates that the Reds have no intention of letting the 25-year-old go amid recent links to Real Madrid and are ready to “meet all of his demands” to ensure he remains at Anfield. Szoboszlai has been a key player for his team this season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 34 matches across all competitions. His current contract runs until the summer of 2028.
