TRENDING RUMORS

– AC Milan have made an attempt to sign Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez, though a deal remains complicated as negotiations with the 26-year-old are difficult, according to Sky Sports Italia. Milan have already spoken to the Uruguay international, who is also the topic of interest from Al Hilal, but Liverpool are looking for a fee of over €50 million. Milan will make a serious attempt to bring in a new striker for new manager Massimiliano Allegri with alternative options being Stade Rennais’ Arnaud Kalimuendo, Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic and Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund.

– Tottenham want to replace outgoing forward Son Heung-Min by signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid, as reported by AS. Spurs have been closely monitoring the 24-year-old and have even asked Los Blancos for permission to speak with him, and while Rodrygo hasn’t expressed a desire to leave, his playing time has been reduced under Xabi Alonso. Spurs are focusing on Bayern Munich defensive midfielder João Palhinha before deciding whether to go forward with an €80m move for Rodrygo.

– Arsenal are interested in signing Rennes center back Jérémy Jacquet, according to Fabrizio Romano. Jacquet, 20, signed a new contract until June 2029 recently, but is considered a top talent for the future and the France U21 international is on the Gunners’ radar in case they lose William Saliba or Gabriel in the near future.

– Chelsea made an offer to sign Barcelona midfielder Fermín López, which included forward Christopher Nkunku as a makeweight, but it was rejected. Mundo Deportivo claims that Nkunku, 27, who is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, was offered as a part of the deal but that Barcelona boss Hansi Flick wasn’t interested.

– Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand wants to join Juventus, but the Portuguese club are demanding his €60m release clause is met, while Juve only want to pay €40m plus add-ons, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. Sporting don’t feel the need to reduce their demands after Viktor Gyökeres‘ €73m move to Arsenal. Juventus are also interested in Brighton & Hove Albion’s Matt O’Riley, Tottenham Hotspur’s Yves Bissouma and Fenerbahce’s Sofyan Amrabat while they dream of landing Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali.
