TRENDING RUMORS
– Bayern Munich will turn to Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard if a move for Liverpool‘s Luis Díaz falls through, according to Bild. Trossard, 30, has been linked with a transfer to Fenerbahce and Saudi Arabia, as the Gunners close on a £50m move to bring in Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Liverpool don’t want to let Diaz leave and have reportedly already rejected a £50m bid for him from Bayern, with the German club ready to switch focus if need be.
– Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is increasingly likely to become a Barcelona player due to the costly and complex nature of any possible move for Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, according to Diario Sport. The Blaugrana have taken significant steps in negotiations with the 27-year-old England international, but they are in no rush to close the deal while keeping negotiations open and moving at a good pace. Barça’s preferred course of action would be to initially sign Rashford on loan, with an option to make the deal permanent. United would want a fee of €48m for Rashford this summer, but if Barça can loan him until the end of next season then he would only have two years left on his contract and would likely be available for less.
– Liverpool will make a £40m offer to Crystal Palace to sign center back Marc Guéhi, The Sun reports. The club will then tell the Eagles to “take it or leave it” as they seek to put the pressure on. Guéhi, 25, has a big interest in moving to Anfield and is in the final year of his contract at Palace, while there is also interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
– Al Hilal and two unnamed Serie A clubs have enquired about signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko after Arsenal distanced themselves from signing him, according to TEAMtalk. The Saudi Pro League side holds a serious interest in the 22-year-old and recently made contact to ask about the conditions of a possible deal, although no official offer has been made yet and Al Hilal are evaluating their options. Leipzig’s demand of over €90m is making any transfer difficult for interested clubs, with TBR reporting that Man United and Liverpool could step in. Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano reports that Al Hilal have enquired about Aston Villa‘s Ollie Watkins but haven’t made a formal offer yet.
– Eintracht Frankfurt would like to keep Hugo Ekitike as they prepare for the UEFA Champions League but are expecting offers to sign the striker this month, reports Florian Plettenberg, who adds that his move is valued at €100m. Liverpool are still a concrete option for the 23-year-old, Newcastle United have renewed their interest in the France U21 international and Manchester United are also looking at him. Chelsea are unlikely to make a move due to the recent signing of João Pedro.
