TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester City will revamp their midfield by spending £180 million to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan, reports the Sunday Mirror. City, fresh from their FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace (stream a replay on ESPN+ in the U.S.), will end the season trophyless and boss Pep Guardiola wants key new signings to make the team competitive again. Wirtz, 22, is strongly linked with Bayern Munich, and City could offer James McAtee as a makeweight in a £100m+ deal. Milan, meanwhile, have told City they will have to break the Serie A club's transfer record -- the €57m Real Madrid paid for Kaka -- to sign Netherlands international Reijnders, 26.
- Talks are ongoing between Barcelona and the representatives of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, reports Mundo Deportivo. The 27-year-old, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa, is looking to push forward with a switch to the Camp Nou, and negotiations are reportedly surrounding a potential loan deal that would include a clause for the move to become permanent. Previous reports have indicated that the Red Devils would be willing to accept an offer of £40 million to let him leave Old Trafford. Rashford earns around £315,000 per week which Barca cannot afford, and the striker is ready to come to an arrangement.
- Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Thomas Müller is expected to continue his career despite suggestions he could retire, reports Florian Plettenberg. Müller, 35, is reportedly "highly likely" to keep playing, and he is evaluating offers from teams in MLS. Müller played his final match for the Bundesliga champions on Saturday in the 4-0 win over Hoffenheim, in what was his 43rd appearance of the season across all competitions.
- Inter Miami are lining up a move to sign Benfica winger Ángel Di María, reports TEAMtalk. The club have kept close tabs on the 37-year-old this season, and they are keen to sign him on a free transfer to allow him to link up with compatriot Lionel Messi. Talks are reportedly being held before July 24, which is when the MLS secondary transfer market opens. Di María, who has made 25 league appearances this season, has previously been linked with a move back to Argentina.
- Forward Benjamin Sesko and attacking midfielder Xavi Simons are both expected to leave RB Leipzig in the next transfer window, reports Fabrizio Romano. The Bundesliga club's failure to qualify for Europe is said to be one of the key factors in both looking to leave, with teams in the Premier League watching their situation. Sesko, 21, has been linked with Arsenal lately, while 22-year-old Simons has reportedly been on Manchester United's radar.
