TRENDING RUMORS
– Arsenal youngsters Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri signed long-term contracts last summer, but are among five players who could be allowed to leave to raise funds for new arrivals, says the BBC. Midfielder Nwaneri, 19, went out on loan to Marseille in January, while left back Lewis-Skelly, 19, has been a backup option after a breakthrough campaign last year. Arsenal want at least £100 million for the pair, who have attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund and other Premier League clubs, as they are academy players and would generate “pure profit” in their accounts. The Gunners are also ready to listen to offers for Gabriel Jesus, Ben White and Gabriel Martinelli.
– Real Madrid could step up their efforts to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, as reported by Christian Falk. The 24-year-old impressed in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal between the two teams, giving left back Álvaro Carreras a torrid time and providing an assist for striker Harry Kane. That made Los Blancos even more determined to sign Olise, with the Spanish giants thinking of making an offer worth €160 million, although Bayern are under no pressure to let him leave and Liverpool are also interested.
– FC Cincinnati have engaged in preliminary talks with representatives of Santos forward Neymar about a move to MLS, as reported by The Athletic. Discussions are in their early stages, with Cincinnati gauging the 34-year-old’s level of interest and requirements, while there are internal conversations about whether pushing to sign a player with such a troubled recent injury history makes sense. Neymar’s contract at Santos runs until the end of 2026.
– There has been plenty of talk about the future of Morgan Rogers, with both TalkSPORT and The Mirror suggesting that a fee of £80 million is the starting point to open transfer talks, while The Telegraph has put the figure at £100 million. The 23-year-old is likely to leave Villa if they don’t qualify for the Champions League, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all reported to be interested. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also in the race.
– AC Milan are looking to strengthen their attack, with the futures of wingers Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic uncertain, according to Corriere dello Sport. The replacements that Milan are looking at appear to be Fiorentina’s Moise Kean, Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, Chelsea’s Bayern Munich loanee Nicolas Jackson, Al Qadsiah’s Mateo Retegui and Al Hilal’s Darwin Núñez.
