TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United are tracking FC Porto's Victor Froholdt alongside a midfield trio of Borussia Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton and Brighton & Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba, according to TEAMtalk. Denmark international Froholdt, 19, is seen as a cheaper option, given that Wharton and Baleba's transfers could cost upwards of £ 80 million. Though The Sun says that Baleba is their first choice, suggesting that Bryan Mbeumo has been quietly trying to persuade the 21-year-old to move to Old Trafford while they have been away with Cameroon, with the Red Devils winger being considered a "big brother" to him.
- Barcelona are monitoring Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani, reports Florian Plettenberg, given that there is a release clause in the 23-year-old's contract for next summer. Asllani wants to move to a top European club and is keen to feature in the Champions League. He has also specifically referenced Barcelona as a "dream club" to Sport Bild in recent days.
- Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson will feature on a long list of summer transfer targets for Newcastle United, who are determined to bring him back to St. James' Park, says The Daily Mail. The 22-year-old moved to Forest in the summer of 2024 for £35 million, and has delivered such impressive performances that he has been a regular in Thomas Tuchel's recent England lineups while also being linked with Manchester City and Chelsea.
- LAFC forward Son Heung-min has a similar clause in his contract to the one David Beckham had with LA Galaxy, which could allow the 33-year-old forward to return to Europe in MLS' off-season, according to The Sun. The 2026 World Cup is likely to influence whether the South Korea international opts to utilize that clause or rest. Son has returned eight goals and three assists from just nine MLS appearances since joining LAFC from Tottenham Hotspur.
- Famalicao's Gustavo Sá has emerged as the latest option for Juventus as they aim to sign a midfielder, says Calciomercato. Manchester City are reported to be one of the clubs offering competition to sign the 20-year-old, who has a contract that runs until 2029 and whose transfer is valued at around €15m. Other midfielders who have been linked with the Bianconeri are Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali, Al Hilal's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Al Ahli's Franck Kessié.
