Rumor Roundup
– Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring PSG’s 22-year-old striker Bradley Barcola, although his market value exceeds 100 million euros, according to Footmercato. Barcola has not indicated a desire to leave Paris, and Liverpool would need the club’s permission to proceed. Meanwhile, the Reds haven’t abandoned their interest in Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, while also considering Real Madrid’s Rodrygo as a potential target.
– Brighton has no plans to let Carlos Valleva go, despite Manchester United’s reported interest. The Cameroonian, who joined Brighton from Lille in 2023, is under contract for nearly three more years. Valleva has made 61 Premier League appearances and scored three goals. Although United has contacted his representatives, securing both Valleva and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko would be financially challenging as the transfer window closes.
– Nottingham Forest’s £35 million offer for Omari Hutchinson was turned down by Ipswich Town, as reported by Athletic. Brentford may also re-enter the pursuit after a previous bid was rejected, indicating ongoing discussions between the clubs. Forest aims to strengthen their attack alongside Anthony Elanga from Newcastle. Hutchinson, who can play as an attacking midfielder or winger, netted three goals during his debut season in the Premier League.
– Shakhtar Donetsk has rejected a €30 million bid from Fulham for winger Kevin, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Ukrainian club is holding out for higher offers, with Fulham’s total bid hovering just under €40 million, including potential add-ons. The 22-year-old joined Shakhtar in January 2024 and has scored nine goals in 38 league appearances since moving from Palmeiras.
– Former Everton player Abdoulaye Doucouré is reportedly in advanced talks to join Neom SC, a newly promoted Saudi Arabian team. The free agent, who departed Everton last month, is reportedly open to the opportunity. Neom, backed by Saudi public investment, has already signed Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette and former West Ham player Said Benrahma.
