TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United's Rasmus Højlund is on West Ham's striker shortlist should they fail to make Evan Ferguson's loan permanent, TEAMtalk reports. The East London club are keen to bolster their attacking options, with question marks remaining over the long-term fitness of Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug. As such, they could turn their attention to Højlund, who has failed to make the centre-forward position his own at Old Trafford since signing for £64m. According to the report, United would consider sanctioning the 22-year-old's exit if their £40m asking price is met.
- Liverpool have joined the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi this summer, according to Football Insider. The England international was the subject of strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea last month, with the former even lodging an official £70m bid. While Spurs' offer was rejected, it is widely expected that Guéhi will leave South London in the summer, although his eventual destination could end up being one of the talking points of the window. With his Palace contract expiring in 2026, the report suggests that Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United will be vying for his signature.
- Clubs in Brazil are interested in Al Ahli forward Roberto Firmino, reports UOL. The 33-year-old is believed to have decided to stay in the Saudi Pro League in the recent transfer window despite reported interest from both Palmeiras and Flamengo, but he is expected to evaluate his options and make a final decision at the end of the season. Firmino scored his fifth goal of the season on Monday in the 3-1 victory over Al Sadd.
- Barcelona are keeping close tabs on Bayern Munich left-back Adam Aznou, reports Sport. Currently on loan at Real Valladolid, the Blaugrana believe the 18-year-old could be a strong back-up defensive option to Alejandro Balde without requiring a significant fee to acquire. The Camp Nou hierarchy also believe that their chances of landing him could have increased after Canada international Alphonso Davies recently signed a contract extension at the Allianz Arena.
- Chelsea are open to moving on midfielder Andrey Santos permanently, reports Teamtalk. The 20-year-old is believed to be on the radar of multiple clubs following impressive performances on loan at Strasbourg, but now in his third loan spell since arriving at Stamford Bridge, he wants to be assured of a key role in the side if he is to remain there when he returns in the summer. Santos joined the Blues from Vasco da Gama for a fee of £18m in January 2023.

EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Beth Lindop explores why Liverpool might be interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi.
It's no secret that Liverpool need to sign a defender in the summer. Upgrading at left-back is the club's biggest priority but, considering they haven't made a senior addition at centre-back since Ibrahima Konaté's arrival in 2021, there is an argument that they need to freshen up in that department too, particularly considering the patchy injury records of Konate and Joe Gomez.
Then there is the small matter of Virgil van Dijk's future to consider. There remains an expectation that the Netherlands international will pen a new deal at Anfield but, if that doesn't happen, Liverpool will certainly need to bring in another elite centre-back if he departs on a free transfer in the summer. Like Van Dijk, Guehi is a right-footed defender who primarily plays on the left side of defence, so would be a good fit.
Indeed, should Van Dijk leave, a move for the Crystal Palace man would make sense. At 24, Guehi already has plenty of senior experience, both on the domestic and international stage. Considering he is out of contract in 2026, Palace will not be in a particularly strong negotiating position this summer, though there is likely to be stern competition for his signature at around £70m.
