TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United could sign Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to the Daily Mirror. A move to Old Trafford in the summer could now be a possibility after the 28-year-old’s move to AC Milan broke down, with the Red Devils having the chance to sign him for a lower transfer fee when he enters the final 12 months of his deal at Selhurst Park in June. The Eagles have already signed a replacement for Mateta, after securing a £48 million deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Jørgen Strand Larsen.
– Arsenal have their eyes on Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to Christian Falk. The Bild journalist says that the Gunners were “seriously interested” in a deadline-day move for the 30-year-old Germany international, who believes that his style is a strong fit for the Premier League. Goretzka decided against exploring a switch from the Allianz Arena in January, but it is said that he could join Mikel Arteta’s side if they make another approach for him in the summer. He has also been linked with Arsenal’s London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
– The situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is being monitored by Chelsea and Newcastle United, according to Calciomercato. Both sides have reportedly made inquiries regarding a deal for the 26-year-old, who several teams in Europe are keen on signing as a free agent. Vlahovic’s contract is set to expire in the summer, but while he is also on the radar of AC Milan, it is believed that clubs in the Premier League would be more capable of matching his €12m salary.
– A move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is under consideration from LA Galaxy, the Daily Mail reports. The MLS side are believed to be prioritising a move for the 33-year-old when his contract at Old Trafford expires after the Red Devils opted against extending his stay at the club. Casemiro isn’t expected to commit to a decision until the end of the season, when further interest in his signature from abroad is expected to emerge.
– Juventus remain keen on landing AFC Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, according to Nicolo Schira. The Bianconeri have reportedly scheduled a meeting with the 28-year-old’s representatives, with hopes of signing him on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer. It was previously reported that the Serie A club were discussing a potential four-year contract worth €3m a year for him. Senesi has been a key player for the Cherries this season, having started 23 of 24 Premier League matches for them this season.
