Rumor Roundup
– Barcelona is looking into signing Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, as reported by Braurana. The club aims to secure a “top-tier” winger and sees Lookman as a leading candidate. Atalanta may part ways with the winger for under 50 million euros, given he’s in the last two years of his contract. Tottenham Hotspur may also express interest in him, creating competition in the Premier League.
– Bayern Munich has proposed a €52 million bid for Liverpool’s Lewis Diaz, according to Bild. The Colombian international is reportedly keen on moving to Allianz Arena after a standout season where he scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 36 league appearances. Though Barcelona was previously linked, Bayern seems to be at the forefront for his services.
– Chelsea’s striker Nicholas Jackson might leave Stamford Bridge this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. AC Milan has shown interest in the 24-year-old, and several Premier League and Serie A clubs are also probing his availability. There’s a “real possibility” of his departure from West London in this transfer window. Jackson had joined Chelsea in 2023 for €37 million.
– Nottingham Forest’s bid for Brentford’s striker Yoan Wissa has been turned down, as the £25 million offer was considered significantly lower than Brentford’s asking price of over £50 million. Wissa scored a personal best of 19 goals in 35 Premier League matches last season and has drawn interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
– Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is expected to remain at Old Trafford this summer, as TeamTalk reports. The club is re-evaluating plans for a new No. 1 goalkeeper, especially since a potential move to Monaco has stalled. The 29-year-old, who made 50 appearances last season, has three years remaining on his contract.
