TRENDING RUMORS
- Chelsea are ready to make a big-money offer to beat the competition and ensure they sign Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham, according to The Sun, which insists that the Blues' interest is "game changing." Arsenal and Manchester United have been monitoring the 19-year-old, who is the younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, while there has been interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund. It was reported on Sunday that Man United were looking at three players from the Championship: Bellingham, his teammate Chris Rigg, and Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.
- Christian Pulisic's AC Milan contract runs until 2027, with the Serie A club having the option for another year, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Rossoneri have a new contract ready for the United States attacker to sign. Due to the 26-year-old's importance to the club, Milan are proposing a deal that would run until 2028 and include an option for 2029.
- Manchester City are speaking to the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz ahead of a possible summer move, according to Football Insider. The 21-year-old is expected to leave Die Werkself at the end of the season, but the Citizens will face competition from Bayern Munich for the Germany international's signature.
- Chelsea are keeping an eye on the situation of Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and will jump at the chance to sign him this summer if it arises, according to TEAMtalk. The 19-year-old wants to be paid in line with some of the Red Devils' biggest names but the club is trying to reduce their wage bill.
- Internazionale are keen to sign Nico Paz and the Como attacking midfielder is also open to joining the Serie A leaders, reports Corriere dello Sport. Even so, negotiations over a deal could be awkward to complete due to Real Madrid's clause that would allow them to re-sign the 20-year-old for €9 million in the summer and Como's option to stop that clause for €20m-€25m.
