Manchester United Target Champions League Star While Arsenal Close In on Gyokeres Deal
Sports Illustrated compiles the most recent transfer speculation and rumors from across the globe.
Premier League
Following a highly publicized disagreement with Inter skipper Lautaro Martínez, Hakan Çalhanoğlu is expected to depart San Siro during the upcoming summer window. Orazio Accomando reports that Manchester United and Fulham have submitted "inquiries" for the respected Serie A playmaker, who may be available for €40 million ($47.2 million) this summer.
Ex-Liverpool winger Sadio Mané is spearheading efforts to persuade Luis Díaz to join him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, as reported by El Nacional.
Díaz's apparent readiness to exit Liverpool amid mounting rumors of interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich is reportedly due to his relatively low weekly earnings of approximately £50,000 ($68,000). Nevertheless, the Liverpool Echo reports that Díaz is actually earning £140,000 ($190,000) per week.
Following L'Équipe's report that Arsenal were nearing a deal with Viktor Gyökeres, another report from Football Transfers suggested that terms for a five-year contract had been agreed between the player and the London outfit. Whether Arsenal and Sporting can reach an agreement remains uncertain.
The Gunners are also increasingly optimistic about securing a deal for Real Madrid's Rodrygo, who is anticipated to "make it clear" he desires to leave following the Club World Cup, according to TBR Football.
Current European titleholders Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be pursuing Rodrygo, who PSG Talk suggests could cost up to €100 million ($117.9 million).
Newcastle United are "confident" that Alexander Isak will resist Liverpool's advances this summer after preparing a record-breaking salary package for the Swedish forward, according to Football Insider.
Ederson has clearly stated his intention to remain at Manchester City, but Fichajes maintains that Pep Guardiola's team could still bring in a new goalkeeper in Porto's €75 million ($88.4 million) valued Diogo Costa.
Sunderland are approaching a €25 million ($29.5 million) agreement for Chelsea's surplus goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović, reports Sacha Tavolieri.
Chelsea are actively seeking buyers for Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke, according to Football Insider.
La Liga
Bayern Munich are prepared to activate Nico Williams's Athletic Club release clause this week, according to SPORT. The German giants have increased their salary proposal to €12 million ($14.2 million), an amount that Barcelona cannot compete with.
Tottenham Hotspur refuse to budge on their firm €70 million ($82.3 million) valuation of Cristian Romero, claims CaughtOffside. This price tag hasn't deterred Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid thus far.
Real Betis and Real Oviedo are both vying to secure Real Madrid's emerging talent Gonzalo García on loan for the 2025–26 La Liga campaign, according to Fichajes. Xabi Alonso is likely to retain the promising academy product.
Lamine Yamal believes that Marc Bernal's return to full fitness will "revolutionize" Barcelona in the upcoming season, according to El Nacional.
