Trending Rumors
– Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund is likely leaving the club as RB Leipzig nears an €85 million deal for Benjamin Sesko. AC Milan is also showing interest in the Danish international, who was signed from Atalanta in 2023 for €74 million plus €10 million in add-ons, although he has only netted 11 goals in 58 matches since then.
– Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is reportedly on RB Leipzig’s radar as a potential replacement for Xavi Simons, who is linked to a €70 million transfer to Chelsea. Elliott, 22, may be looking to leave Anfield this summer in search of more consistent playing time, with a price tag expected to exceed €45 million.
– Napoli is being mentioned again as a potential destination for AC Milan and USMNT midfielder Yunus Musa, according to Gianluca di Marzio. There’s reportedly some discussion underway, with Napoli’s coach Antonio Conte considering Musa a perfect fit for his squad, looking to finalize transfers this summer. Musa transferred to Sansilo from Valencia in 2023 and played 40 times across competitions last season.
– Manchester United has rejected interest in center-back Harry Maguire from five different teams, as reported by the Daily Mail. Despite outside interest from Serie A and the Premier League, the Red Devils plan to offer him a new contract to keep him in Manchester for the remainder of his career. Maguire was a key player for manager Reuben Amorim, making 40 appearances last season.
– West Ham is keeping an eye on Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling, according to Talksport. Manager Graham Potter reportedly enjoys a good relationship with Sterling from their time together at Stamford Bridge, and he aims to secure his transfer before the window closes. Juventus is also looking into Sterling, but he appears to prefer remaining in London, amid recent links to Fulham and Crystal Palace following a failed loan to Arsenal.
Confirmed Transfers
– England Under-21 midfielder Tyler Morton has moved to Lyon permanently from Liverpool, with the French club paying a £15 million fee, sources claim.
– Ajax has signed Spanish U16 midfielder Eloi Gomez on a free transfer. The 16-year-old, a product of Barcelona’s youth system, will remain with the Eredivisie club until June 2028.
Expert Insights
Beth Lindop, ESPN’s Liverpool correspondent, discusses Harvey Elliott’s future.
Elliott is a remarkable talent. At just 22 years old, he has already made nearly 150 appearances for Liverpool and has had his share of memorable moments in the jersey.
He grew up a Liverpool fan and has often expressed his wish to stay at Anfield for his entire career. However, in recent months, his perspective has shifted, and he’s acknowledged that a move might be best for his career.
With limited playtime last season and increased competition this summer from Florian Wiltz, it seems like an opportune moment for Elliott to seek change. Leipzig could be a suitable destination, especially after his strong performance at the Under-21 European Championship, showcasing that he can thrive outside the Premier League’s physical demands.
