TRENDING RUMORS

Matheus Cunha has already suggested he will leave Wolves in the summer to take “the next step” in his career, and Manchester United have joined the list of interested clubs, reports talkSPORT. The 25-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided four assists in a Wolves side who have spent the majority of the season battling relegation. The Brazil international was linked with a move to Arsenal in January, but instead signed a new deal through to 2029 at Molineux. However, the contract extension served only to preserve his transfer value with a release clause of around £62.5million inserted. Arsenal will be back in for the former Atlético Madrid player, and Man United will be strong competition with both clubs desperate for reinforcements up front.

Jamie Gittens isn’t satisfied with his situation at Borussia Dortmund and has made the club aware that he wants to leave in the summer, according to Sky Sports Deutschland. The Bundesliga giants are willing to let the winger depart and will lower the €100 million transfer fee that was quoted in January. Manchester United and Liverpool have previously been linked with a move for the 20-year-old, while Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring the situation closely.

– Negotiations between Bayern Munich and Leroy Sané regarding a contract renewal are increasingly positive, according to Sky Sports Deutschland, with the 29-year-old wanting to stay despite Arsenal applying extra pressure by declaring an interest. Kingsley Coman is less likely to stay and, in another Sky Sports Deutschland report, the outlet says that the Bavarians see Marseille‘s Luis Henrique as a possible candidate to replace him.

– Liverpool have identified Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba as a key option for the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. The 21-year-old is seen as an excellent fit for Arne Slot’s midfield, although the Reds could be forced to look at alternatives as they aren’t willing to meet the Seagulls’ demands of £100m.

Bayer Leverkusen are seriously considering Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken as they look to strengthen their No. 1 options, reports Florian Plettenberg. Initial talks have already taken place with the 31-year-old, who is under contract until 2027 and is rated at around €15m. The Dutchman wants to take a step up and play for Die Werkself in the Champions League.
