Amorim Targets Barcelona Reject as Liverpool Prepares for Massive Diaz Offer
Sports Illustrated compiles the most recent transfer speculation and rumors from across the globe.
Premier League
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly the key figure pushing for the club's pursuit of Barcelona's unwanted goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, according to El Nacional. The Spanish club appears eager to part ways with the declining shot-stopper, who is considered a "perfect" addition for Amorim's squad.
Ter Stegen is not the sole goalkeeper on United's radar. Along with Aston Villa's Emiliano Martínez, the Red Devils are competing with Chelsea for Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bułka, as reported by CaughtOffside.
Despite ongoing attention from clubs like United, Chelsea and Liverpool, Victor Osimhen is nearing a transfer to Al Hilal, according to AreaNapoli. The coveted forward has reportedly been swayed by a lucrative annual wage package worth €50 million ($58.6 million).
In his quest to secure a departure from Sporting CP to Arsenal this summer, Viktor Gyökeres has reportedly "requested" a direct meeting with club president Frederico Varandas, as stated by Correio da Manhã.
A transfer for Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera seems to be progressing smoothly, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that personal terms have been finalized.
Manchester United have expressed interest in acquiring Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as a potential successor to Casemiro, according to talkSPORT.
Should Jhon Duran depart from Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly insisting on the signing of Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, as reported by Fichajes. The talented Nigerian had previously attracted interest from Newcastle United.
Ronaldo's Al Nassr have also been suggested by Okaz to prepare an £85 million ($116.6 million) offer for Liverpool winger Luis Díaz. Barcelona have maintained long-standing interest in the Colombian attacker, but would struggle to match such a fee that would rank as Liverpool's second-highest sale ever.
Everton, Newcastle United and Napoli are reportedly being "deterred" by Jack Grealish's substantial £300,000-per-week (£410,000) salary when evaluating a potential move for the Manchester City outcast, according to The Sun.
La Liga

Juventus are actively pursuing Barcelona center-back Ronald Araújo, though the player prefers to remain in Catalonia, as reported by El Nacional.
Inter Milan have revived their pursuit of Real Madrid's promising young talent Arda Guler, according to FCInterNews.
Another rising star from the Spanish capital, Gonzalo García, is also believed to be attracting attention this summer, as claimed by Fichajes. The standout performer at the Club World Cup could face a €20 million ($23.4 million) approach from Leeds United.
Although the player wishes to stay at his childhood club, Barcelona are reportedly preparing a €20 million ($23.4 million) sale of Gerard Martín. Both Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been mentioned as potential suitors, according to El Nacional.
