TRENDING RUMORS
– Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly willing to activate Harry Kane‘s €60 million release clause and match his salary demands to facilitate his return from Bayern Munich, according to TEAMtalk. The 32-year-old is reportedly eager to return to the Premier League to pursue Alan Shearer’s record of 260 league goals, having already scored 213 before his move to Germany. Manchester United is also keen on signing Kane as part of their rebuilding efforts, but their ability to secure the England international is contingent on their league performance improving.
– Liverpool is reportedly reaching out to Borussia Dortmund regarding center back Nico Schlotterbeck, as reported by Christian Falk. Although Dortmund has proposed a new contract worth approximately €8 million annually for the 25-year-old, Liverpool might offer a higher salary. They are seeking to compensate for Giovanni Leoni‘s injury while uncertainties linger around Ibrahima Konaté, who has been linked to a potential free transfer to Real Madrid. Additionally, Liverpool is considering Marc Guéhi of Crystal Palace as an option, while Bayern could also pursue Schlotterbeck.
– Manchester City is preparing a £75 million bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, although they will face tough competition from Chelsea, as per The Daily Star. The 22-year-old has been identified as a prime target if Pep Guardiola opts to reinforce his midfield for the summer, especially with concerns about Nico González‘s performance since joining from FC Porto and questions surrounding Rodri‘s future at the club.
– Chelsea, Arsenal, and Barcelona are monitoring Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. Juventus plans to offer the 20-year-old a contract extension until 2030, but financial details are still being negotiated. Chelsea has not given up after their €67 million offer was rejected last summer, and Arsenal and Barcelona are preparing to submit competing bids.
– Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in securing center back Dayot Upamecano as a free agent at the conclusion of his contract with Bayern Munich in the summer, according to Footmercato. Los Blancos seek to replace their aging defensive pair of Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, while Barcelona may allow Ronald Araújo to leave and will be in need of more support. Manchester United is also in the mix, but Upamecano’s continuation at Bayern is still a possibility that hasn’t been dismissed.
