TRENDING RUMORS
– Bayern Munich is keen on signing Vasco da Gama forward Rayan, as reported by Bild. The 19-year-old has netted 12 goals in 31 appearances in Brazil’s top league this season, attracting interest from various European clubs. Bayern is also looking at Santos‘ left-back Souza, 19, who has drawn comparisons to legendary Brazil player Marcelo.
– Barcelona has targeted Harry Kane and Julián Álvarez as possible successors for 37-year-old striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo. Interest in Kane has escalated recently, spurred by his impressive early season performance and a €65 million release clause in his contract. In contrast, Atlético Madrid striker Álvarez, 25, is seen as a more challenging target due to his contract running until the summer of 2030, with a potential transfer fee around €100 million. Additionally, Barcelona plans to acquire a new left-back for next summer, with Bayer Leverkusen‘s Alejandro Grimaldo being a strong candidate.
– Manchester City has entered the competition to sign Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The 19-year-old has attracted considerable interest from Bayern Munich as well, as they search for a long-term replacement for Konrad Laimer. City could make a bid for Read in 2026 while continuing to assess multiple right-back options. The Netherlands Under-21 international made his senior international debut last month against Bosnia & Herzegovina.
– Liverpool is set to miss the opportunity to sign Bayern Munich center-back Dayot Upamecano on a free transfer next summer, with Bild’s Christian Falk reporting that Upamecano may extend his contract with Bayern. The 27-year-old has made over 100 appearances in the Bundesliga since joining in 2021. Although his contract ends this summer, Bayern is confident he will sign an extension. Should he decide to leave, the France international reportedly prefers Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.
– Chelsea is keeping tabs on international forward João Bezerra for a potential transfer, as reported by Nicolo Schira. The 16-year-old is yet another young South American talent on Chelsea’s radar but recently signed his first professional contract and won’t be available for a transfer to a European club until he turns 18.
