TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool have entered the race to sign Bournemouth’s 19-year-old defender Dean Huijsen, per talkSPORT. The 19-year-old defender has been heavily linked with Real Madrid in recent weeks, having enjoyed a superb Premier League campaign. However, Liverpool are also in for Huijsen, and could offer the Spain international immediate game time if Virgil van Dijk leaves the club this summer. He is under contract on the South Coast until 2030 and has a £50 million release clause that becomes active in July. According to several reports, Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez could join Huijsen at Anfield next season.
– Aston Villa have the option to sign Marcus Rashford for £40 million this summer, according to TEAMtalk. The England international is currently on loan at Villa from Manchester United, although he is set to return to Old Trafford in June. Built into the loan deal is a £40 million option to make the deal permanent that the West Midlands club are considering. As per TEAMtalk, they haven’t yet decided whether they’ll exercise the option, leaving Rashford in limbo. The 27-year-old has impressed at Villa Park so far, contributing four assists in his first nine matches.
– Manchester United’s hopes of signing Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite this summer could hinge on them winning the Europa League, according to The Sun. Branthwaite, 22, is on the radar of several big clubs following his impressive season at Everton, and The Sun reports that United are ready to “go all out” to sign the centre-back in a £50 million deal. However, if they want to be able to offer the England international Champions League football next season, then they will need to win the Europa League this term in order to qualify.
– Newcastle United, Arsenal and Liverpool are “keeping a close eye” on Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, per Football Insider. All three clubs are looking to strengthen their forward lines this summer, and the 25-year-old remains a particularly attractive option due to his contractual situation. Mbeumo’s Brentford deal expires in June 2026, and the Bees would almost certainly need to break their existing wage structure to secure a long-term extension.
– Toronto are one of several MLS sides interested in signing Sevilla midfielder Suso, as per Relevo. The former Liverpool and AC Milan player is out of contract in June and is yet to decide his next career step. Suso has played just 10 times for Sevilla this season, after struggling to adapt to manager García Pimienta’s system. Toronto are “accelerating” their efforts to sign the former Spanish international, although it remains to be seen whether he is open to the switch.
