TRENDING RUMORS

– Manchester United have ended their pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to The Mirror. Anderson, 23, would reportedly prefer to join Manchester City, while the Red Devils don’t want to meet his £100 million valuation. City are now optimistic of getting a deal over the line to sign the England international ahead of their rivals, but United have made progress elsewhere. The BBC reports that they are set to sign Atalanta and Brazil midfielder Éderson, 26, for a fee of around €45 million, beating off competition from Atletico Madrid.

– United could land another Brazilian midfielder as they are tracking Botafogo’s Danilo alongside AC Milan, per UOL. Both clubs are reportedly to have made an offer for the 25-year-old, who is in Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. Danilo previously featured for Nottingham Forest and would be keen on a return to Europe, but the Brasileirao club won’t rush into a decision as his transfer value could increase after the tournament.

– RB Leipzig are ready to resist all offers to sign winger Yan Diomande amid interest from Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, reports The Mirror. Leipzig have no interest in parting ways with the 19-year-old after they qualified for next season’s Champions League, despite talk of a €100 million fee. PSG are looking to sign the 19-year-old as a potential replacement for Bradley Barcola, but now Liverpool and Arsenal could face difficulty in landing the France international if Diomande stays put.

– Bayern Munich have made contact regarding a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, per Tuttosport. The Bundesliga champions reportedly see the 26-year-old as a potential back-up option to starter Harry Kane, but could face competition from Newcastle United and Napoli. Vlahovic is set to become a free agent next month and has yet to agree a new contract with the Bianconeri. He scored seven goals in 19 Serie A matches last season, with two coming in Sunday’s 2-2 draw league closer with Torino.

– Arsenal are set to demand an offer worth £20 million from clubs looking to sign 29-year-old striker Gabriel Jesus, according to The Athletic. Jesus is set to enter the final year of his contract in June and could be moved on after making just three starts in the Premier League last season. The Brazilian, who arrived at the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2022 from Man City, has recently been linked with AC Milan, who are keen to strengthen their forward line in the next transfer window, but also wants to return to Palmeiras at some point in his career.
