TRENDING RUMORS
- Brazil international Rodrygo is considering leaving Real Madrid this summer with several top European clubs interested, Marca reports. The winger is said to be disappointed that his playing style isn't being catered to by boss Carlo Ancelotti. According to Spanish outlet, only the appointment of Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso could convince Rodrygo to stay put. The likes of Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with the 24-year-old, who is under contract at the Bernabéu until June 2028.
- Manchester United are exploring a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah on a free transfer, according to Sky Sports. The Germany international was widely tipped to join Barcelona with his Bayer contract expiring at the end of the season. However, talks between the two camps appear to have stalled due to financial constraints. As such, Man United have entered the race to sign Tah, who is also wanted by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The 29-year-old has been a regular in the Bundesliga this season, playing in all but one of Bayer's matches to date.

The paper says that Avom is in no rush to sign a new contract at Lorient despite his current deal expiring next summer.
- Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old striker Mahamadou Sangaré from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, Fabrizio Romano reports.
