TRENDING RUMORS
– Cole Palmer is becoming increasingly disillusioned at Chelsea and is ready to consider a move to Manchester United, according to The Sun. The 23-year-old former Manchester City academy midfielder is frustrated about a change in the Blues’ tactics and reportedly misses playing with Nicolas Jackson, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich. Chelsea failing to qualify for the Champions League would further damage their chances of keeping the England international, who is also the topic of interest from Real Madrid and Bayern, despite struggling with injuries to his groin and toe this season.
– Real Madrid are stepping up their efforts to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri, according to TEAMtalk, which adds that the Spain international is in favor of leaving the Etihad. Madrid feel that he can help solve the lack of experience and composure they have had in their midfield since the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Meanwhile, Man City are keen to extend Rodri’s contract past its current expiration of 2027, but they are aware that the 29-year-old wants to return to Spain and won’t stand in his way.
– Manchester City want to sign Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson in deals that could cost a combined £190 million, as the Citizens aim to overhaul their midfield, reports TEAMtalk. In addition to Real Madrid’s aforementioned interest in Rodri, Bernardo Silva is also expected to leave the Etihad, which has resulted in City looking at signing some more midfielders. City also want Newcastle full back Tino Livramento, and they are willing to offer players to reach an agreement, with James Trafford, Rico Lewis, Issa Kaboré and Juma Bah of interest to the Magpies.
– Internazionale center back Alessandro Bastoni wants to join Barcelona in the summer, as reported by Marca. Although no formal negotiations have taken place yet, the Blaugrana have sounded out the 26-year-old and Inter are open to negotiations. However, Barcelona could struggle to meet Inter’s transfer valuation of around €70 million so they have other names on their shortlist, including Tottenham Hotspur pair Micky van de Ven and Luka Vuskovic, who is loan at Hamburg.
– Inter Miami are serious about the possibility of signing Casemiro after the midfielder confirmed that he will be leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, says Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations between the 34-year-old’s camp and the MLS club have already started in the hope of reaching a financial agreement. Casemiro is keen to join Miami, as he is attracted by the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi. But clubs from Saudi Arabia and Europe clubs are also interested in the Brazil international.
