TRENDING RUMORS
- Arsenal are considering a move to sign Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané in the summer, reports Sport Bild, with Mikel Arteta having worked alongside the 29-year-old during their time at Manchester City. Sane could be available as a free agent with his deal expiring at the end of the season, and he hasn't yet received an offer from Bayern for a new deal.
- Manchester United are unlikely to make an attempt to sign Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta but are firmly looking at Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, claims Football Insider. Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres is also being considered, but United part-owners INEOS want Kane and are focusing on bringing in a high-profile player as they aim to bolster coach Ruben Amorim's squad.
- Bayern Munich have joined Real Madrid in showing an interest in a summer transfer for Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot, according to TEAMtalk. Los Blancos see Dalot and Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong as possible options if they miss out on Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, while the outlet says that the 25-year-old's consistency and adaptability have impressed Bayern boss Vincent Kompany.
- Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has an official offer from Real Madrid, The Times has reported. While Real's interest in the England international is well established, the existence of an offer places further pressure on Liverpool to try and agree a contract renewal. Alexander-Arnold's current deal expires this summer, meaning Los Blancos will be able to snap him up on a free transfer in July as things stand. The Reds could lose Mohamed Salah and club captain Virgil van Dijk in similar fashion, who are also yet to commit their long-term futures to the Premier League club.
- Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong is eyeing a summer move to England or Spain, Sky Germany reports. The right-back has been a stand-out performer under Xavi Alonso, but is now ready "for the next step" in his career. Several clubs have already inquired about Frimpong, who could be available for around €40 million this summer. Frimpong, 24, has been a regular in the Bundesliga this season, contributing three goals and three assists from his 25 appearances.
