Real Madrid Eye Rashford Move as Man United Weigh Mount Exit and Haaland's Release Clause Sparks Speculation
Sports Illustrated compiles the most recent transfer speculation and rumors from across the globe.
Premier League
Manchester United have been investigating the potential sale of midfielder Mason Mount, as reported by Football Insider. Aston Villa have shown interest in acquiring the ex-Chelsea player.
A midfielder who might join Man Utd during the summer is Bayern Munich's João Palhinha, with CaughtOffside listing the Red Devils among potential destinations alongside Benfica, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.
Brighton & Hove Albion are prepared to spend as much as £40 million ($53.9 million) on Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, according to The Sun. The influence of former Liverpool favorite James Milner might help persuade Elliott to make the switch.
Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi has communicated his wish to join Liverpool to his inner circle, as stated by Football Insider. An offer exceeding £50 million ($67.4 million) is expected to be made shortly.
Arsenal and Leicester City midfielder Bilal El Khannouss's representatives have reached an understanding, AfricaFoot indicates. The clubs are now anticipated to negotiate transfer terms.
Both Chelsea and Newcastle United have seen their bids for Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi rejected, according to TBR Football. The Ukrainian is concentrating on securing a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Bournemouth's £70 million ($94.3 million) valuation has caused both Man Utd and Tottenham Hotspur to reduce their pursuit of Antoine Semenyo, The Athletic reports. The 25-year-old would consider departing if a suitable proposal materialized.
Newcastle have entered the race alongside Brighton, Chelsea and Tottenham for Lyon's Malick Fofana, as reported by ESPN. A potential fee reaching £45 million ($60.6 million) might complicate his transfer prospects.
Erling Haaland included a provision in his Manchester City deal to enable a future departure from the club, Duncan Castles reveals. The striker continues to consider potential moves to Barcelona or Real Madrid.
La Liga
Lamine Yamal has given his backing to a potential Barcelona move for Man Utd's Marcus Rashford, El Nacional reports. His versatility to operate as both a winger and striker appeals to the young Spanish talent.
Man Utd, nevertheless, question Barcelona's financial capacity for a Rashford deal and, per Defensa Central, have presented him to Real Madrid as an alternative. Madrid evaluated the suggestion but eventually chose not to proceed.
Real Madrid have shown interest in Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, though Fichajes suggests his €65 million (£55.6 million, $74.9 million) price tag exceeds what the Spanish giants are willing to pay.
A separate Fichajes report identifies Palace defender Marc Guéhi as a Barcelona target for a free transfer in 2026. While Liverpool and Newcastle both want to secure him this summer, if the England defender delays for another year, he could potentially join Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
Robert Lewandowski's agents are cited as confirming his intention to move to Saudi Arabia in 2026 by Al Riyadiyah. The Polish striker hasn't begun discussions yet but is ready to engage before his current deal concludes next summer.
