POPULAR RUMORS

– According to a report from Footmercato, Tottenham and Chelsea are keenly observing Dusan Vlahovic‘s situation at Juventus. The Serbian forward is in the final six months of his contract, making a summer departure likely. While there’s domestic interest from AC Milan for a new No. 9, Premier League clubs are also eyeing him as a potential acquisition. Vlahovic has been hindered by injuries this season but has still managed to net 46 goals in 117 appearances in Serie A.

– Manchester United and Newcastle United have entered the race to acquire Michael Kayode from Brentford, as reported by TEAMtalk. The 21-year-old wing back has garnered interest following an impressive first full season, especially for his long throws that have challenged numerous Premier League defenses. Brentford secured Kayode for approximately £15 million after a previous loan from Fiorentina, but they are looking for over £50M from any interested parties. Additionally, clubs like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich have also been scouting the player.

– Arsenal is one of several clubs pursuing a free transfer for Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka, as reported by the Daily Mirror. Arsenal’s inquiries for a January signing were turned down by Bayern, but with Goretzka’s contract set to conclude in June, there is potential for a summer move. Atlético Madrid, along with Napoli and Juventus, are longstanding admirers of the player. Goretzka is inclined to challenge himself in the Premier League, which could position Arsenal as the frontrunners moving forward.

– AFC Bournemouth is reportedly finalizing a permanent deal for Álex Jiménez, following the activation of a clause in his loan from AC Milan. According to Sky Sports News, the transfer fee is around £16.8 million, with an additional £4.5 million in add-ons. Jiménez has featured regularly in the Premier League, making 21 appearances so far this season. Once the deal is official, his contract will extend until June 2031.

– Sandro Tonali may seek a move away from Newcastle United if they fail to secure UEFA Champions League qualification, as per Football Insider. There were recent links between the Italian international and a transfer to Arsenal on deadline day, but no deal was completed. With multiple clubs across Europe monitoring his progress, Newcastle might find it necessary to part ways with their key midfielder if they do not achieve European football next season.
