TRENDING RUMORS

– Real Madrid are interested in a deal for Manchester United full back Diogo Dalot, 26, according to TEAMtalk. United’s director of football Jason Wilcox is considering letting the Portugal international leave as he has a contract that runs until 2028, which includes the option for another year. Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold in the summer, but Dani Carvajal‘s age (33) and Dalot’s versatility are factors in them looking to improve their options. Though Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are also interested.

– Manchester City are keeping tabs on Pedro Porro‘s situation, with Tottenham Hotspur working to renew the right back’s contract beyond its 2028 expiry, says TEAMtalk. City are looking for a new right back and also have Newcastle United‘s Tino Livramento high on their list of options, though Porro was on their books from 2019-2022 and didn’t make a first team appearance. Spurs are willing to give the 26-year-old a significant pay rise as they aim to see off interest from other clubs.

– Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is close to reaching an agreement with AC Milan, as Barcelona have doubts over signing him, says Sport. It is increasingly likely that 39-year-old Robert Lewandowski will leave the Blaugrana in the summer when his contract ends, and Vlahovic, 25, is also expected to become a free agent in the summer. However, his wage demands of €12 million-a-season are an obstacle, while his six goals in 17 appearances have not been enough for Barca to maintain an interest.

– With Juventus keen to sign Internazionale midfielder Davide Frattesi, Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Khephren Thuram could move the other way to join up with his brother Marcus Thuram. The two deals won’t necessarily be linked and the Nerazzurri have previously dismissed an approach to sign Frattesi from Juve, while they are interested in Roma’s Manu Koné and Atalanta‘s Éderson as possible replacements.

– Footmercato have offered an update on the situation of Bayern Munich center back Dayot Upamecano. Bayern are still negotiating to extend the 27-year-old’s contract past this summer but their latest offer doesn’t meet his expectations. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have both informed the France international that they are able to meet his wage demands if he becomes a free agent in the summer, with Los Blancos even having a verbal agreement on the basics of a contract.
