TRENDING RUMORS
- AC Milan are already planning to keep on-loan Chelsea forward João Félix permanently, reports Calciomercato. The Rossoneri are believed to have prepared negotiations to discuss a fee with the Premier League club in June, with the 25-year-old taking little time to impress in his first two appearances while proving to be a strong fit for manager Sérgio Conceição's system.
- Manchester United and Real Madrid have added Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen to their shortlists, according to AS. Both clubs are reported to be ready to "fight" to sign the 19-year-old in the summer transfer window, with both actively looking for reinforcements at centre-back. The Red Devils are reported to have also identified West Ham United's Jean-Clair Todibo, Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Sporting CP defender Gonçalo Inacio as potential alternatives. Huijsen has impressed in his 18 Premier League appearances for Andoni Iraola's side so far this season.
- On-loan Juventus forward Randal Kolo Muani doesn't want to return to Paris Saint-Germain, reports Nicolo Schira. It is reported that the 26-year-old's relationship with PSG manager Luis Enrique is why he wishes to move on, with negotiations expected to take place between the Bianconeri and Parc des Princes hierarchy over a new loan deal that will include the option to be made permanent.
- Manchester City attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva is set to consider his future at the end of the season, reports Football Insider. It is reported that "showdown talks" are set to take place between the club and the 30-year-old, who will enter the final 12 months of his contract at the Etihad Stadium in the summer. Silva has previously been linked with Barcelona, and he could be moved on if he decides against signing an extension to remain with the Citizens.
- Multiple clubs remain interested in Atalanta midfielder Éderson, according to TEAMtalk. Talks are expected to take place in the coming weeks with Manchester City still keen on the 25-year-old, though they could face competition from Liverpool, who are said to have made an inquiry regarding a potential summer move. La Dea dismissed interest in Éderson over the January transfer window amid their current push for the league title in Serie A.

EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Sam Tighe looks at how Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen has taken the Premier League by storm this season.
If the Premier League had a Rookie of the Year award, Huijsen would be the automatic pick.
For a 19-year-old to step so ably into England's top tier and play centre-back to such a level is incredible. They say it's a position that requires experience, yet Huijsen plays it superbly despite having practically none.
He's a major part of what has been a brilliant Bournemouth story, confounding the natural hierarchy of the Premier League to rise into contention for the Champions League. He's tall, springy, extremely comfortable on the ball and has a lovely habit of embarking on long, loping runs forward -- similar to Barcelona's Gerard Pique, back in the day.
In modern football, these are all extremely valuable traits. He's scored twice in 13 league starts, showcasing his aerial threat from corners, moved the ball cleanly and dribbled straight through opponents' pressing to break open the game.
It almost defies belief that Juventus let him leave last summer for just €15m. Were he to move on from the Cherries after just a year, the conversation probably starts at three times that.
