TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United is considering FC Porto‘s Victor Froholdt among a list of midfield targets, including Borussia Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. According to TEAMtalk, 19-year-old Froholdt is viewed as a more affordable option compared to Wharton and Baleba, whose transfers could exceed £80 million. Nonetheless, The Sun reports that Baleba is their primary target, with Bryan Mbeumo actively encouraging the 21-year-old to join while they represent Cameroon, having become something of a mentor to him.
– Meanwhile, Barcelona is keeping tabs on Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani, as stated by Florian Plettenberg. The 23-year-old has a release clause that could make him available next summer and has expressed his desire to play for a top European side, with Barcelona specifically mentioned as a “dream club” in a recent interview with Sport Bild.
– Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has emerged as a prime target for Newcastle United, who are eager to bring him back to St. James’ Park, according to The Daily Mail. The 22-year-old, who transferred to Forest for £35 million in the summer of 2024, has made such an impact that he has regularly featured in recent England selections and has been linked with Manchester City and Chelsea.
– LAFC striker Son Heung-min has a contract clause similar to the one David Beckham had with LA Galaxy, which may allow the 33-year-old to return to Europe during the MLS off-season, according to The Sun. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the South Korean international has amassed eight goals and three assists in just nine MLS appearances since joining LAFC from Tottenham Hotspur.
– Famalicao’s Gustavo Sá has surfaced as a potential target for Juventus as they seek a midfielder, according to Calciomercato. Manchester City is also reportedly in the mix for the 20-year-old player, whose transfer value currently stands at approximately €15 million. Other midfielders linked with the Bianconeri include Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, Al Hilal‘s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Al Ahli‘s Franck Kessié.
