TRENDING RUMORS
– Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has held a meeting with the representatives of Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli, ahead of a potential summer switch, according to L’Equipe. PSG reached another Champions League semifinal in midweek and are looking to sign another attacker for the summer. Martinelli, who has a contract until 2027 with Arsenal, is an option as the Gunners need to raise money from player exits to sign new players themselves. PSG have also held talks with representatives of RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande, but his transfer could cost upward of €80 million.
– Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr is on the radar of both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, says Football Insider. The 23-year-old faces an uncertain future, with Spurs looking set for relegation at the end of the season, and top clubs are already positioning themselves to swoop if he becomes available. PSG have also been reported to be interested in the Senegal international in the past.
– Barcelona have made Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez their priority transfer target this summer, reports Mundo Deportivo. Álvarez, 26, has impressed since joining Atlético Madrid from Manchester City for an initial €75 million in 2024, with 18 goals and nine assists to his name this season. With that in mind, Barcelona are believed to be willing to make a €100 million move for the Argentina international, though it’s unclear if that will be enough to seal a switch. Galatasaray‘s Victor Osimhen, Juventus‘ Dusan Vlahovic and Atlético’s Alexander Sorloth are listed as some other targets in case the Blaugrana can’t land Álvarez.
– Aston Villa are prepared to step up their interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, claims TEAMtalk. The versatile 26-year-old is about to enter the final year of his contract at Anfield, with an expectation that a transfer will be facilitated this summer to allow the club to sign other players. While Inter Milan and Tottenham have been linked with Jones, Villa have now positioned themselves among the front-runners to sign him.
– Barcelona are hoping to renegotiate the terms of signing Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal, says Fabrizio Romano. The England forward has a €30 million clause in his loan contract which would allow him to join the Spanish club permanently, but while Man United are insistent on getting the full amount in the summer, Barcelona are looking to restructure the deal. And that has left the two parties at a standoff.
