TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United is preparing a £60 million bid for Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace, as reported by the Daily Star. United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is keen to enhance his midfield options, and the 21-year-old is a prime candidate. The club is also anticipating departures of Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro in the future, creating a gap for a player of Wharton’s caliber. Although United considered Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, the high valuation of over £100 million has deterred interest.
– Real Madrid is also interested in Wharton but is now focusing on Enzo Fernández of Chelsea and Argentina. According to Football Insider, any potential transfer would depend on Fernández’s willingness, with a bid exceeding £100 million likely to prompt Chelsea to negotiate. Additionally, Los Blancos are keeping an eye on Fernández’s teammate, Moisés Caicedo, who is having a standout season in the Premier League.
– FC Porto’s striker Samu Aghehowa is attracting attention from Tottenham Hotspur, as reported by TEAMtalk. With injuries affecting current forwards Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, the club is looking for reinforcements. Aghehowa, 21, has netted five goals in seven league appearances so far this season, attracting interest from clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United this summer.
– Chelsea is increasing its pursuit of Ronald Araújo, a center-back from Barcelona, and might be preparing to make an offer, as reported by Football Insider. With several defenders injured, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is eager to strengthen their defense. While a move for Araújo could be complicated, Barcelona’s ongoing financial troubles may facilitate the negotiation.
– Juventus may consider a transfer for Al Hilal’s star Sergej Milinković-Savić in January, according to Tuttosport. The Serbian international is reportedly eager to return to Europe, specifically Italy, where he previously excelled at Lazio. Juventus may need to offload players to secure funds for a transfer, or they could wait until next summer when the 30-year-old’s contract ends.
