Bournemouth 'want to reunite' Iraola with Real Madrid defender
Bournemouth are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid left-back Fran Garcia this summer.
The Cherries are bracing themselves for the potential departure of Milos Kerkez despite the fact that he is under contract until the summer of 2028.
A recent report claims that Kerkez will make a decision over his future at the end of the season, amid interest from Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City.
With Kerkez expected to leave, Bournemouth are scouring the market for possible candidates to replace the Hungary international ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Tale of the Tape: Spurs 'pushing' to sign PSG defender on free transfer
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in a two-horse race to sign talented Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Axel Tape, who is set to leave Les Parisiens as a free agent this summer.
The 2007-born defender made his debut for Luis Enrique's side earlier this season, starting a 4-2 Coupe de France sixth-round win over Espaly back in January.
Tape has also made five matchday squads across the Ligue 1 and Champions League campaigns, including an appearance as an unused substitute in January's 4-2 Champions League win over Manchester City.
The Bondy-born defender has also showcased his talents at the other end of the field, scoring three goals in 11 appearances for PSG's Under-19 side, but he is out of contract in the summer.
Chelsea's £68.3m 'coup' for Serie A starlet could harm Liverpool's summer plans
Chelsea are reportedly putting together a package worth £68.3m to win the race for highly-rated Serie A forward Kenan Yildiz during the summer transfer window.
The Juventus youngster has been labelled the heir to the Mohamed Salah throne at Liverpool thanks to his rapid rise to fame in Italy, where he has amassed eight goals and five assists from 45 matches this term.
Yildiz has impressed in a variety of attacking roles this term, operating on both flanks and also just behind the striker, and the German-born 19-year-old is regarded as one of the most talented teenage prospects in the game.
Liverpool had been tipped to make a move for Yildiz last month, and even though Salah has now signed a new two-year deal at Anfield, the Reds are facing uncertainty over the futures of Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa.
Serie A adventure or Premier League stay? Italian clubs 'interested' in Forest star
Nottingham Forest reportedly have a fight on their hands to retain the services of Callum Hudson-Odoi.
When Chelsea made the decision to cash in on the academy graduate in 2023, Forest were the beneficiaries as they secured a cut-price £3m deal.
On the back of his unproductive loan stint at Bayer Leverkusen, the England international has been able to kick-start his career at the City Ground.
A total of 13 goals and five assists have come from 57 appearances for Forest in the Premier League, with the 24-year-old playing a key role in helping transform the East Midlands outfit from relegation candidates to contenders for Champions League qualification.
'Key meeting next week' as Man United 'close in' on move for £62.5m star
Manchester United are reportedly set to meet with Wolverhampton Wanderers next week to discuss Matheus Cunha, with the Red Devils said to be "optimistic" of signing the Brazilian this summer.
The 25-year-old is believed to be Man United's leading target for the upcoming market, with head coach Ruben Amorim a known admirer of the Brazil international, who would bring pace and power to the Red Devils attack.
Cunha has scored 16 times and registered four assists in 31 appearances for Wolves this season, while he has 32 goals and 13 assists in 87 outings in total for the Premier League club.
The forward signed a new contract at Molineux at the start of February amid interest from Arsenal, but there is a £62.5m release clause in his deal, which Man United are thought to be prepared to trigger with staggered payments.
'Watching brief' underway as 10-goal Chelsea midfielder eyed for blockbuster move
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are said to be casting a 'watchful eye' over Andrey Santos's progress with Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg.
The 20-year-old is yet to make his big breakthrough at Stamford Bridge, but he is excelling for a Strasbourg side who are pushing for a place in Europe for the 2025-26 season.
Since joining the BlueCo-owned French outfit on loan over the summer, Santos has come up with 10 goals and five assists from 30 games for Les Coureurs, who occupy seventh spot in the Ligue 1 standings.
The Brazilian lynchpin has come provided nine of those goals four of those assists from 28 matches in the French top flight, demonstrating his proficiency at the highest level as he aims to come good in West London.
Worth Rushing? Man Utd 'add £5m goalkeeper' to transfer shortlist
Manchester United have apparently turned their attention to Brighton & Hove Albion shot-stopper Carl Rushworth as they continue to search for summer reinforcements in between the posts.
Ruben Amorim's cause has not been helped by a series of goalkeeping failings in the 2024-25 season, one in which the Red Devils are guaranteed to finish with their lowest-ever points total in the competition.
Number one Andre Onana could have done little to stop Pablo Sarabia's sensational free kick in the weekend's 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the Cameroonian has continued to make comical errors throughout the season.
Furthermore, number two Altay Bayindir has struggled to make his mark when given a chance, while the ageing Tom Heaton is out of contract this summer and could move into a coaching role.
Chelsea 'planning' to offer new long-term contract to 19-year-old starlet
Chelsea are reportedly ready to offer a new long-term contract to one of their top-performing academy graduates.
The Blues are currently focused on trying to end the season on a high by finishing in the top five of the Premier League table and winning the Conference League.
However, away from on-the-pitch matters, work will be underway with regards to formulating how Enzo Maresca's first-team squad may look for 2025-26.
Andrey Santos and Estevao Willian are due to be integrated into the senior setup, bringing down the average age of the senior ranks even further.
Shock deal: Man United 'working on move' for Championship player
Manchester United are reportedly currently working on a deal for Preston North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
The 28-year-old's contract with Preston is due to expire at the end of June, and it is widely thought that the stopper will be on the move.
Woodman has made 44 appearances for his Championship club this season, keeping 17 clean sheets in the process, while he has previous experience of the Premier League, playing four times in the top flight for Newcastle United in 2021-22.
The Englishman had six separate loan spells during his time at Newcastle, but he left permanently for Preston in June 2022, and the goalkeeper has since made 138 appearances for the Lancashire outfit.
'Strong denial' vs. 'common knowledge' as Vinicius contract bombshell dropped
The entourage of Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior have apparently denied suggestions that the Brazil international is close to agreeing a new contract with the European champions.
On Wednesday, reports emerged that the 24-year-old was on the cusp of reaching a deal to extend his stay at the Bernabeu, where his current terms only run until the summer of 2027.
Vinicius has long been linked with a switch to the Saudi Pro League while his Real Madrid contract situation remains unsolved, and the Public Investment Fund-backed clubs could be prepared to make him the most expensive player of all time.
Vinicius could also expect to become the highest-paid footballer in the world if he was to make the switch to the Middle East, but he has publicly stated that he wishes to sign fresh terms in the Spanish capital.
Man United 'plot shock Man City transfer' that Guardiola would loathe
Manchester United and Nottingham Forest are reportedly the latest clubs to enter the race for Manchester City midfielder James McAtee this summer.
After enjoying a two-year loan spell at Sheffield United, McAtee was integrated into Pep Guardiola's first-team squad at the start of this season, but first-team opportunities were initially hard to come by.
McAtee was reduced to just 11 substitute outings in the Premier League before scoring on his first top-flight start for City in a 5-2 win over Crystal Palace earlier this month, while he was handed a second start in the Citizens' 2-1 victory against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
A lack of regular game time for the 22-year-old has led to speculation over his long-term future at the Etihad Stadium where he is under contract until June 2026.
Al-Hilal 'preparing £235m package' to sign Premier League-linked Barcelona star
Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal are reportedly preparing a mouthwatering package worth in excess of €275m (£235m) to sign Barcelona's star Raphinha this summer.
The 28-year-old winger has put himself in contention to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or as he has enjoyed an exceptional season in front of goal for the Catalan giants.
Only Robert Lewandowski (40) has scored more goals across all tournaments for Barcelona than Raphinha (30), who has also registered 23 assists in 50 matches.
Raphinha has played an integral role in Hansi Flick's treble-chasing team who are hoping to end the season on a high by winning the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
'Special' Guirassy exit clause 'can be triggered' by Man Utd and six other clubs
Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly among only seven clubs who are able to trigger a 'special exit clause' in the contract of Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy this summer.
The 29-year-old Guinea international was signed by Dortmund last summer for just €18m after they activated the release clause in his contract at fellow Bundesliga club Stuttgart.
Guirassy has since enjoyed a prolific debut campaign at Westfalenstadion, scoring 29 goals and registering eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
Dortmund's No.9 is currently the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 13 goals in 14 appearances, most recently netting an impressive hat-trick in a 3-1 quarter-final second-leg win over Barcelona, albeit going out 5-3 on aggregate.
Premier League club 'hold internal talks' over potential De Bruyne bid
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne may reportedly receive an offer from at least one Premier League club at the end of the season.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the legendary playmaker would be departing the Etihad Stadium on a free transfer in the summer.
While it was initially felt that the 33-year-old was ready to take on a new challenge, it later became apparent that the veteran did not receive a contract offer from the soon-to-be-dethroned Premier League champions.
De Bruyne has publicly acknowledged that he will now assess his options and has not ruled out linking up with another team in England's top flight.
Why Bernardo still has "plenty left to offer" at Man City amid Benfica return links
Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany is a "firm believer" that Bernardo Silva has still "got plenty left to offer" in Pep Guardiola's side and feels that his possible exit this summer would be an "aggressive statement of intent" from the club's hierarchy.
The 30-year-old has spent almost eight full seasons at the Etihad Stadium and in that time has made close to 400 appearances in all competitions, recording 70 goals and 71 assists as well as winning 17 trophies with the Citizens.
In the eyes of many Man City supporters, Bernardo has been part of an ageing midfield that has somewhat lacked the energy and legs required to truly thrive in Pep Guardiola's system in what has been a turbulent 2024-25 campaign, but the six-time Premier League winner scored in City's 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday and Guardiola heaped praise on the versatile playmaker after the match.
Champions League trio 'eye' move for Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic
Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is allegedly not short of interest ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite making 31 appearances in his first season at Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old was allowed to leave the Blues on loan in August.
Strasbourg - also owned by BlueCo - were the beneficiaries and the Serbia international has since starred in Ligue 1 throughout 2024-25.
Just 31 goals have been conceded in his 27 outings, Petrovic also keeping 10 clean sheets, and it has thrown up the possibility of being reintegrated back into Enzo Maresca's squad for next season.
Real Madrid 'make Guler decision' ahead of summer transfer window
Real Madrid will reportedly not allow Arda Guler to leave the club on loan during this summer's transfer window.
The Turkey international came up with the winning goal for Los Blancos on Wednesday evening, as Carlo Ancelotti's side beat Getafe 1-0 to move to within four points of leaders Barcelona in the La Liga table.
The goal was Guler's fourth for Real Madrid this season, while he has also provided seven assists, but the 20-year-old has been left frustrated with his lack of starts, with Ancelotti often overlooking him.
There has been a host of speculation surrounding Guler's future in recent months, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to take him on loan next season, but according to Fichajes, Los Blancos have closed the door on a summer departure.
Obi's future strike partner? Man United 'agree deal' with highly-rated wonderkid
Manchester United have reportedly come to an agreement with Enzo Kana-Biyik and his family over a move to Old Trafford.
The 18-year-old currently represents Le Havre, but his contract with the French outfit is due to expire at the end of June, and it is understood that he has made the decision to seek pastures new this summer.
Journalist Christopher Michel recently said that Man United were 'looking good' when it comes to a summer move for Kana-Biyik, and according to Le Parisien, an agreement has now been reached.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions have already agreed a deal with Kana-Biyik and his representatives, as negotiations with Le Havre are not required due to his contract situation.
Lewandowski replacement? Barca 'considering summer move' for 23-goal marksman
Barcelona are reportedly considering making a move for Fiorentina forward Moise Kean during this summer's transfer window.
The 25-year-old has been in impressive form for Fiorentina during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 23 goals and registering three assists in 39 appearances, including 17 goals and three assists in 29 Serie A matches.
Kean's future has recently been the subject of a host of speculation, with Arsenal thought to be interested in the forward, while Newcastle United and West Ham United are also said to be admirers.
The Italy international only made the move to Fiorentina from Juventus last summer, with his contract due to run until June 2029, but there is said to be a €52m (£44.5m) release clause.
La Liga star 'wanted by Man United' in 'bargain £38.5m summer move'
Manchester United have reportedly been in touch with Villarreal to register their interest in Alex Baena.
The 23-year-old has been in strong form for Villarreal during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring six goals and registering eight assists in 27 La Liga appearances, and there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future.
Atletico Madrid have long been regarded as the favourites for the Spaniard, and it is understood that Diego Simeone's side are well-placed to complete a deal for the attacker during the summer transfer window.
However, according to journalist Eduardo Burgos, Man United are also contenders, with the 20-time English champions said to have been in touch with Villarreal to register their interest in his services.
