TRENDING RUMORS
- A contract offer has been made by Manchester United to the representatives of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, reports TEAMtalk. The Red Devils are said to be keen to sign the 25-year-old to a five-year contract at Old Trafford, and are ready to activate his £63 million release clause if Wolves are happy for the fee to be spread across three or four seasons. Brazil international Cunha scored his 15th league goal of the season in Saturday's 3-0 Premier League win over Leicester City, and has also provided six assists throughout the campaign.
- An offer worth £40m is being lined up by Newcastle United for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-Jae, according to Football Insider. It is believed that the Magpies want to add proven big-game players with experience in the summer, and there is optimism that a deal for the 28-year-old South Korea international could be possible amid uncertainty over his future at the Allianz Arena. AFC Bournemouth starlet Dean Huijsen, 20, is also being considered as a potential alternative.
- Chelsea are stepping up their effort to sign Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, CaughtOffside reports. The 19-year-old Turkey international has scored six goals and registered two assists in Serie A this season, but his potential and versatility mean Juve do not want to let him go and would push for a transfer fee of up to €100 million. Their hand may be forced, however, if they do not qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United also have Yildiz on their radar.
- Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta could be an alternative target for Manchester United if their effort to sign Ipswich Town's Liam Delap is unsuccessful, according to GIVEMESPORT. Mateta has scored 16 goals for the Eagles this season, and has helped them reach the FA Cup final. The 27-year-old also scored five goals for France's U23s at the Paris Olympics last summer.
- Manchester City are tracking Juventus wing-back Andrea Cambiaso, reports The Sun. It is said that the Citizens are expected to resurface with an approach for the 25-year-old Italy international in the summer after being linked with him throughout this season. Cambiaso has been a regular starter for the Bianconeri over the current campaign, having made 39 appearances across all competitions.
