Manchester United Launch Fresh Mbeumo Pursuit as Diaz Seals Real Madrid Switch
Sports Illustrated compiles the most recent transfer speculation and rumors from across the globe.
Premier League
Manchester United are prepared to offer up to £63 million ($84.9 million), including additional fees, for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to Rudy Galetti. However, Sébastien Vidal reports that United's most recent offer stands at £65 million ($87.6 million) excluding add-ons.
Worries about the expense of alternative options have led Man Utd to renew their pursuit of Fiorentina forward Moise Kean, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian striker has a buyout clause of €52 million (£44.5 million, $59.9 million) that becomes available during the first two weeks of July.
Chelsea are engaged in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a potential transfer for forward Randal Kolo Muani, according to L'Équipe. Man Utd have also shown interest but haven't initiated formal talks yet.
Kolo Muani prefers to stay in Serie A following a successful loan period with Juventus, though TBR Football suggests PSG's insistence on a permanent transfer could create opportunities for Premier League clubs to negotiate a deal.
Arsenal might abandon their pursuit of RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško. The Sun reports that while his £70 million ($94.3 million) transfer fee isn't problematic, his salary expectations far exceed what the Gunners are willing to pay.
Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Boca Juniors forward Miguel Merentiel, as stated by Fichajes. The Argentine club is expected to demand a substantial fee following his excellent performances in the Club World Cup.
Harvey Barnes might be included as part of Newcastle United's attempt to acquire Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, TEAMtalk reports. The Magpies could potentially sell Barnes to Aston Villa to generate transfer funds.
Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly encouraged Napoli coach Antonio Conte to make a move for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, as claimed by The Sun. The English player is willing to take a considerable pay cut to improve his chances of making next summer's World Cup squad.
Manchester City might welcome Porto right-back Martin Fernandes. TEAMtalk indicates that Pep Guardiola's team has joined Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli in the race for the 19-year-old defender.
La Liga
Atlético Madrid forward Julián Alvarez has given his consent to a Barcelona transfer in summer 2026, reports El Nacional. The transaction could reach €90 million ($103.7 million) in value.
Florentino Pérez has told Xabi Alonso that Real Madrid are ready to acquire Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konaté this summer, but Defensa Central reports the president won't exceed €30 million (£25.7 million, $34.6 million) in their offer.
Liverpool winger Luis Díaz had reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid, according to BILD, but Alonso's intention to retain Rodrygo this summer has caused the potential transfer to collapse.
Man Utd have approached Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin's representative as they look to replace André Onana, according to Defensa Central. The Red Devils are offering €15 million (£12.8 million, $17.3 million)—significantly less than Madrid's valuation.
Atlético Madrid have rejected the opportunity to sign Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey as a free agent, reports Estadio Deportivo. Instead, Los Rojiblancos are interested in USMNT player Johnny Cardoso from Real Betis.
Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Newcastle United have all submitted loan offers for Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler, according to Real Madrid Confidencial. Alonso has emphasized his intention to make the Turkish talent a key member of his team.
Should Marcus Rashford wish to leave Man Utd for Barcelona, he must push for his departure from Old Trafford, with El Nacional reporting that Barça sporting director Deco has indicated they need to see more proactive efforts from the England player to demonstrate his commitment.
