TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester City will listen to offers for many of their biggest stars players this summer including Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish, the Daily Mirror reports, with Bayer Leverkusen forward Florian Wirtz emerging as a target. Manager Pep Guardiola plans to clear out many of his most senior players before the next campaign. As well as De Bruyne and Grealish, the Mirror reports that Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gündogan and Éderson would all be allowed to leave. Kyle Walker, who joined AC Milan on loan in January, is unlikely to play for City again. Germany international Wirtz is on course to better his performance from last season when Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title without losing a single game. The 21-year-old registered 11 goals and as many assists throughout the whole of that title campaign, and this term already has nine of each to his name. Wirtz is contracted with Leverkusen until 2027, meaning it would cost City upwards of €100m to sign him, but they may see it as a small price to pay to secure one of Europe's most exciting attackers and reinvigorate their team.
- An exit from Liverpool this summer for striker Darwin Núñez looks "increasingly inevitable," according to The Athletic. The Uruguay international's glaring miss in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Aston Villa, which cost the Reds two potentially crucial points in the title race, may be the final straw for manager Arne Slot. Núñez, 25, has only scored four Premier League goals all season as he has found starts increasingly hard to come by, with just seven in the league thus far this term.
- Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens as they see him as a possible option for the future if he becomes available, especially if one of Los Blancos' top players departs, reports Relevo. The 20-year-old has also received attention from Premier League clubs Manchester City and Chelsea.
- Juventus and Napoli both want to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman in the summer, reports Calciomercato, who add that Arsenal and Liverpool could also revisit their interest in the 27-year-old having looked at him last summer. Despite efforts being made to reconcile with manager Gian Piero Gasperini, the Nigeria international will leave whether or not he is there, and La Dea might have to accept a figure under their initial demands of €60m.
- Newcastle United have made enquiries about a potential summer move for Internazionale midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu, reports TEAMtalk, who add that the likelihood of the 31-year-old departing at the end of the season are increasing. The Turkey international is also the topic of interest from Saudi Arabia, Bayern Munich, and another unnamed Premier League club.
