TRENDING RUMORS

– Liverpool are preparing a fresh move for Fulham and USMNT left back Antonee Robinson, according to TeamTalk. He would replace Andy Robertson, who is in talks with Tottenham, per ESPN sources. Robinson had been on Liverpool’s radar last summer, although they signed Milos Kerkez instead. They now see a partnership of Robinson and Kerkez as the ideal scenario. Robinson is reportedly keen on a move to Anfield.

– Fulham have made a bid of €32 million for USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi, sources told ESPN. Pepi is out of action due to a broken forearm in early January, an injury that is expected to keep to him out for two months. Sources told ESPN that the Dutch side are looking for a fee closer to €35 million for the striker.

– Dro Fernández will join Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in a deal worth more than the €6 million release clause included in the midfielder’s contract, AS reports. PSG are paying over the release clause as a symbol of the positive relationship between the two clubs despite the 18-year-old leaving the club. It comes after there had been tense episodes between the clubs involving the likes of Marco Verratti, Neymar and Lionel Messi.

– Flamengo have made a fresh offer of around €41 million for West Ham midfielder Lucas Paquetá, the Guardian reports, although the Premier League club are still not satisfied with the deal. Talks are expected to continue.

– TeamTalk reported there is a battle to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic between AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Vlahovic’s contract is due to expire this summer, which would make him among the highest-profile free agents available. He is keen on a move to the Premier League, although Milan are reportedly confident in signing him. Crystal Palace‘s Jean-Philippe Mateta is another striker on the radar of both London clubs.
