TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United have joined the race to sign striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer, The Sun on Sunday reports. The 28-year-old left Everton earlier this week after nine years at Goodison Park, following the expiry of his contract. He isn’t expected to remain a free agent for too long, with Man United boss Ruben Amorim keen on snapping him up to play alongside new arrival Matheus Cunha. Calvert-Lewin, an England international, played 240 times in the Premier League for Everton, scoring 57 goals, but was consistently dogged by injury problems.
– Arsenal believe next week could be crucial in deciding the future of striker target Viktor Gyökeres, who is threatening to go on strike at Sporting CP, the Daily Mirror has revealed. The Sweden international is due to report for preseason training in the coming days, but could refuse to do so in order to facilitate his “dream” move to the Emirates this summer. The Gunners are hopeful that such a move could force Sporting to lower their asking price for Gyökeres, as no official offer has been tabled by any club at this stage. Record reports that Gyökeres has rejected advances from Al Qadisiyah and Al Hilal, while A Bola says a deal could be completed quickly if Arsenal offer €70 million plus €10 million in variables.
– Ethan Nwaneri is in talks over a new contract with Arsenal but he’s reluctant to sign without reassurances over game time this season. Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea are now showing an interest in the 18-year-old, and are ready to make their move if negotiations drag out. The two clubs are already in discussions over a deal for Noni Madueke, with the England international set to move to the Emirates. The Sunday Telegraph reports that Madueke will cost the Gunners over £50m.
– Barcelona won’t step up their interest in Internazionale defender Denzel Dumfries after boss Hansi Flick decided he has enough strength in depth on the right side. Marca says that the Catalan club have no intention of making a formal move for the Netherlands international, who reportedly has a release clause of just €25m. Jules Koundé is first choice, and Flick sees Eric García and Hector Fort as able deputies.
– Randal Kolo Muani appears unlikely to return to Juventus, where he had been on loan since January, as Paris Saint-Germain have changed the terms of a possible transfer. Juve were looking to agree a new loan for the 26-year-old, a proposal which PSG were thought to be receptive to. However, the Club World Cup semifinalists have moved the goalposts and are only interested in a permanent €40m offer this summer, Gazzetta dello Sport reports. Juve’s only hope is that PSG U-turn and consider the loan option.
