TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea are ready to make a big-money offer to beat the competition and ensure they sign Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham, according to The Sun, which insists that the Blues’ interest is “game changing.” Arsenal and Manchester United have been monitoring the 19-year-old, who is the younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude, while there has been interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund. It was reported on Sunday that Man United were looking at three players from the Championship: Bellingham, his teammate Chris Rigg, and Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.
– Christian Pulisic’s AC Milan contract runs until 2027, with the Serie A club having the option for another year, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Rossoneri have a new contract ready for the United States attacker to sign. Due to the 26-year-old’s importance to the club, Milan are proposing a deal that would run until 2028 and include an option for 2029.
– Manchester City are speaking to the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz ahead of a possible summer move, according to Football Insider. The 21-year-old is expected to leave Die Werkself at the end of the season, but the Citizens will face competition from Bayern Munich for the Germany international’s signature.
– Bayern Munich see AFC Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen as a potential signed and are gathering information on him, reports Florian Plettenberg, although the journalist adds that there has been no concrete move from the Bavarians so far. That is because the 19-year-old is deemed to be too expensive, having a £50 million release clause, and the Bundesliga leaders’ priorities next summer are Wirtz, one or two wingers, and a back-up for Harry Kane.
– Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is already working to keep Randal Kolo Muani at the club next season, according to Calciomercato. Kolo Muani has impressed in Turin since his January loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and the Italian outlet says that the Bianconeri will offer €10m to extend his stay for another season, while also negotiating a deal to make the move permanent.
– Barcelona are interested in Millonarios striker Neiser Villarreal, whose contract expires in December, reports Diario Sport. The 19-year-old caught the eye when he was top scorer at the Under-20 Copa America and is refusing to renew with Millonarios, which has contributed to him also receiving interest from FC Porto, Newcastle United and Watford.
