TRENDING RUMORS
- Real Madrid could offer up to €220 million for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to Marca. The Spanish outlet reports that Los Blancos' €150m offer for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez was a bluff designed to complicate Barcelona's attempt to sign him, rather than a genuine attempt to bring in the Argentina international. Olise ticks all of Real Madrid's boxes as he already has a partnership with Kylian Mbappé with the France national team, plays on the right and, as a 24-year-old rising star, still has room to develop. A fee of €220m would be just €2m below the world-record amount that Paris Saint-Germain paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
Meanwhile, AS reports that Real Madrid are willing to allow a big-name departure to ensure they sign either West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes or Chelsea's Enzo Fernández, although they would prefer to make the move with a player leaving. Eduardo Camavinga is one who could leave after receiving tempting offers from the Premier League and informal approaches from Paris Saint-Germain, while Aurélien Tchouaméni is another who could go. Elsewhere, The Athletic reports that Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in Fernandes and keen on Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali.
- Barcelona and Liverpool are knocking on the door for Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven, De Telegraaf reports. The two clubs want to take advantage of an impasse in the 25-year-old's contract talks with Spurs. The Netherlands international, who played the full 90 minutes during the 2-2 draw against Japan, has continued to receive interest despite Tottenham's underwhelming season.
- Arsenal are stepping up their interest in Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers as they aim to sign a left winger, according to Sky Sports. The Villans qualifying for the UEFA Champions League will do little to impact the England international's future, as they are willing to listen to offers worth around £80m amid further interest from Chelsea and Manchester United. Independently to that deal, the Gunners have also been looking into a transfer for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis, who would be worth around £34m.
- Liverpool are willing to make an offer approaching €100m for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, according to The Athletic. Leipzig want to extend the Ivory Coast international's contract, who is also of interest to Paris Saint-Germain, so it would take a big offer to convince them to allow the transfer. It could take as much as €130m to see Diomande, 19, make a move this summer.
- Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez is still keen to join Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. Los Colchoneros aren't completely opposed to letting the 26-year-old leave but are trying to steer him away from Camp Nou, as they see Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal as more favourable destinations. Even so, Barça are aware that signing Álvarez will be difficult unless he makes a public statement about his desire to leave Atleti.
