TRENDING RUMORS
โ Real Madrid will move to sign Arsenal centre-back William Saliba in the summer, says Foot Mercato. Saliba, 23, has become one of the best defenders in the Premier League in the past couple of years and signed a contract until 2027. But if the Gunners continue to fail to win silverware, Madrid could spot an opening and are ready to make him an offer. Madrid are also considering a move for Manchester City winger Savinho, according to journalist Andre Hernan. The Brazilian moved to City last summer from Troyes in a โฌ25 million deal, after impressing on loan in LaLiga at Girona, and has turned heads since arriving at the Etihad with some memorable displays.
โ AC Milan are interested in signing Marcus Rashford, but could move for Chelsea forward Joรฃo Fรฉlix as an alternative, says Gazzetta dello Sport. Felix, 25, cost Atletico Madrid a fee of โฌ126m when he arrived from Benfica back in 2019, but he has struggled since and signed for the Blues permanently for โฌ52m last summer. The Portugal international has not cemented his place in the first-team this season, so could be open to another move.
โ Borussia Dortmund are also pushing to sign Rashford on loan this month, says Florian Plettenberg. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl and manager Nuri ลahin are reported to be leading the pursuit, with fresh talks having already taken place. The clubโs decision to push ahead with a move for the 27-year-old was reportedly made after BVBโs defeat last week against Bayer Leverkusen.
โ Bayern Munich have contacted the management of Borussia Dortmund forward Jamie Gittens, according to Bild. The Bundesliga giants are considering a move for Gittens if contract negotiations break down with winger Leroy Sanรฉ, whose deal expires this summer. By contrast, 20-year-old Gittens is under contract at Dortmund until June 2028. The England under-21 international has been in fine form this season, scoring seven goals in 18 league games to date.
โ Barcelona forward Ansu Fati could depart this month, with West Ham and Tottenham interested, according to Sport. Fati, 22, was once tipped as the heir to Lionel Messi when he broke into the first team as a teenager, but injuries have limited his development and he spent last season on loan at Brighton where he played 27 times and scored four goals. Barcelonaโs financial situation means they are keen to raise funds through player exits, and Fati could be one who leaves.
