TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United are in talks to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães in what could end up being an €80 million deal, reports Reuters, although interest from Real Madrid threatens to derail talks. ESPN has previously reported that United are focused on adding two midfielders next summer, with Guimarães among potential targets that include Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton. According to global news agency Reuters, not a regular reporter of transfer intel, United and Madrid are set for a transfer tug-of-war this summer.
- Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Bournemouth winger Rayan, according to TEAMtalk. Scouts from the four clubs have reportedly been "hugely impressed" by the performances of the 19-year-old, who has quickly found form in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Brazilian side Vasco de Gama in January as a replacement for Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo. TEAMtalk report that a release clause in Rayan's contract would allow him to be signed for a fee in the region of €100 million.
- Barcelona want to loan winger Marcus Rashford from Manchester United for a second season. The Daily Mail reports the LaLiga club want to avoid meeting the £26 million clause in full to sign the 28-year-old permanently this summer, but they are optimistic that United would sanction a second loan move if it includes an obligation to become permanent, with part of the £26 million fee met in advance. Rashford has directly contributed to 19 goals in 38 matches across all competitions this season.
- Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani, per Bild. Both sides are believed to be planning to reinforce their forward lines this summer, and they see the 23-year-old as a strong fit for the Premier League, but they could face competition for his signature from Bayern Munich. Asllani has enjoyed a bright campaign in the Bundesliga this season with eight goals and five assists in 25 appearances, with form that has previously seen him linked with Barcelona.
- Liverpool are leading the race to sign Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, TEAMtalk reports. Madrid are willing to consider offers for the 23-year-old, who would want to join a club in the Champions League if he leaves the Bernabéu. Both Manchester United and Chelsea are reported to have informed Camavinga's representatives of their interest in signing him, while previous reports have indicated that an offer in the region of £70 million could be enough to get a deal over the line.
- Borussia Dortmund are lining up a move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho. The Times reports they are confident of landing the 25-year-old, who would need to accept a notable salary reduction for a third spell with Dortmund to become possible. Sancho's exisiting deal at Old Trafford is believed to be worth in the region of €15 million-per-season, but he is expected to be moved on from the club when he returns in the summer from his loan spell at Aston Villa, where he has scored one goal in 29 appearances.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN senior writer Mark Ogden on Manchester United's search for midfield reinforcements this summer:
Sources have told ESPN that United are heading into the summer window with a clear requirement for two midfielders and a left winger. There might be additional signings beyond that priority list, including a backup goalkeeper, but there is a determination to deal with the long-standing issue in midfield and add variety in wide areas.
The decision not to offer Casemiro a new contract when his existing deal expires this summer was no surprise, but there is an acceptance within the club that the 34-year-old's exit will leave a significant hole. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is United's top target, and despite strong competition from Manchester City, ESPN sources have said there is still a belief within Old Trafford that the 23-year-old could be tempted to move to United.
Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is another possibility, alongside Brighton's Carlos Baleba, and United are also scouring the European market for alternative options.
ESPN sources have said that Newcastle midfielders Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães would both be of interest if they were to become available, but there is an acceptance at Old Trafford that Newcastle would make it almost impossible to negotiate a sensible financial deal for either player. (Last summer's stand-off with Liverpool and Alexander Isak was cited as a recent example of their tough negotiation style.)
