Trending Rumors
– The high stakes of Liverpool’s actions could make Marcus Rashford a more probable transfer to Barcelona, as noted by Diario Sports. Barcelona has made significant headway in discussions with the 27-year-old England international, taking a measured approach to finalize the contracts. Their initial plan is to negotiate a loan for Rashford. While United anticipates a transfer fee of €48 million, a loan could make him available for a lower amount as his contract nears its end.
– According to reports from the Sun, Liverpool is ready to make a £40 million offer for centre-back Mark Gaehe from Crystal Palace, urging the Eagles to “take it or leave it.” Gaehe, who has expressed interest in playing for Liverpool, is in the final year of his contract but is also attracting attention from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
– Eintracht Frankfurt is keen to retain Hugo Ekitike as they prepare for the UEFA Champions League, but they’re also aiming to sign the striker soon, according to Florian Plettenberg. Liverpool is seen as a strong option for the 23-year-old, with Newcastle United also rekindling interest, while Manchester United is keeping an eye on him. Chelsea is not expected to pursue João Pedro’s signature.
– Al Giral and two unidentified Serie A teams have inquired about Benjamin Sesco of RB Leipzig, who remains on Arsenal’s radar. The Saudi Pro League club is seriously interested in the 22-year-old but has yet to make a formal offer. Given the Red Bulls’ steep asking price exceeding €90 million, this complicates matters for potential suitors. Additionally, Fabrizio Romano reports that Al Giral is looking into Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, though no official bid has been made.
– Internazionale is poised to acquire midfielder Granite Zaka from Bayer Leverkusen if Hakan Çalhanoğlu moves to Galatasaray, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Swiss international has long been pursued by AC Milan and has also attracted interest from Juventus. Meanwhile, Inter seeks to secure Ederson from Atalanta but faces challenges given Atalanta’s €60 million valuation.
