How Real Madrid could re-sign 23-year-old for a bargain £15m this summer
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F18%2Fflorentino-perez.jpg "Real Madrid president Florentino Perez on January 17, 2025")
Real Madrid are reportedly giving serious consideration to re-signing Miguel Gutierrez from Girona this summer.
The 23-year-old came through the youth system at Bernabeu, representing Los Blancos on 10 occasions, before making the move to Girona in 2022, and he has excelled for the Catalan outfit.
Gutierrez has made 112 appearances for Girona, scoring six times and registering 19 assists in the process, while he played in the Champions League for his current side earlier this season.
Real Madrid retained 50% of Gutierrez's rights when they sold him to Girona, while it is understood that the club also have a sell-on clause, giving them an advantage when it comes to the race for his services.
A wanted man: Barca 'lining up move' for 18-goal Atalanta star

Barcelona are reportedly considering making a move for Atalanta BC attacker Ademola Lookman during this summer's transfer window.
The 27-year-old has been in excellent form for Atalanta during the 2024-25 campaign, making 37 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and registering seven assists in the process.
Lookman has 13 goals and five assists in 28 Serie A matches this term, while he also impressed in the Champions League, scoring five goals and registering two assists, before the Italian team were eliminated by Club Brugge in the knockout round playoffs.
The forward's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with Arsenal and Manchester United both believed to be considering making a move for him during this summer's transfer window.
Bernabeu exit: Real Madrid 'planning to sell' experienced defender this summer

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to sell experienced defender David Alaba during this summer's transfer window.
The 32-year-old made the move to the reigning European and Spanish champions on a free transfer in July 2021 following the expiration of his contract with German giants Bayern Munich.
Alaba has featured on 116 occasions for Los Blancos in all competitions, scoring five times and registering nine assists in the process, including 14 outings during the 2024-25 campaign.
The Austria international missed the first half of the season with a serious knee injury, returning to action in the middle of January, but he has struggled to reach his full fitness following a lengthy absence.
Liverpool get 'informal' as 'approach' made to sign new Trent replacement
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F06%2Fwesley.jpg "Flamengo defender Wesley on August 15, 2024")
Liverpool have reportedly added Flamengo's Wesley to their shortlist of possible Trent Alexander-Arnold replacements, but they will have to battle four other clubs for his signature.
The Reds appear to have resigned themselves to losing Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, and they could even let him leave early for the Club World Cup under two conditions.
There was brief renewed optimism that Liverpool's second Premier League title win and Real Madrid's struggles this season could tempt Alexander-Arnold into a U-turn, but that was always more hope than expectation.
Internally, Liverpool are said to have full faith in Alexander-Arnold's backup Conor Bradley to step into his shoes, but it would be a surprise if the Merseyside giants did not try to sign a direct replacement in the summer.
Arteta's attack: Former Premier League striker on 'shortlist' for Gunners
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F50%2Fmikel-arteta.jpg "Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta pictured on December 14, 2024")
Arsenal have reportedly added Atalanta BC striker Ademola Lookman to their shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners lost 2-1 against Bournemouth on Saturday at the Emirates in the Premier League, dropping points for the 17th time in 35 games.
Head coach Mikel Arteta will know that his side's defeat ultimately mattered little given Liverpool have already confirmed their status as Premier League champions, with his team's Champions League semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday of far more importance.
However, familiar goalscoring issues cropped up against PSG in the first leg of their tie last Tuesday when the Gunners lost 1-0 at home.
Kane 'release clause' decision made amid Bayern fears of Premier League return
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F45%2Fharry-kane.jpg "Harry Kane of Bayern Munich during his side's game against Benfica, on November 6, 2024")
Harry Kane has reportedly decided to stay at Bayern Munich for another season despite the existence of a release clause.
Bayern thought they were on the verge of reclaiming their Bundesliga crown on Saturday afternoon but RB Leipzig netted a stoppage-time equaliser in the second half, delaying celebrations for the Bavarians.
Striker Kane was forced to watch on from the sidelines due to a suspension, though his side only need one point from their final two games to make absolutely certain of their title win.
The Englishman has not won a major trophy in his career despite scoring 364 goals in all competitions, and there have been suggestions that he could look to return to the Premier League after he finally ends his silverware drought.
Torres decision made: Barcelona 'set out stance' amid transfer speculation
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F14%2Fferran-torres.jpg "Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres on April 2, 2025")
Barcelona will reportedly resist interest in Ferran Torres during this summer's transfer window, with the Catalan giants determined to keep hold of the Spain international.
There has been a host of speculation surrounding the 25-year-old's future throughout the 2024-25 campaign, with a number of Premier League clubs thought to be interested in bringing him back to English football.
However, Torres has had a productive season for Barcelona, scoring 19 times and registering four assists in 43 appearances, including 10 goals and three assists in 26 outings in Spain's top flight.
The Spaniard is not first choice when head coach Hansi Flick has a full complement available, with Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha the starting trio in the final third of the field.
Barca defender 'wanted by five clubs' as key decision over his future nears
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F51%2Ferigar.jpg "Barcelona's Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen pictured on August 7, 2022")
Barcelona defender Eric Garcia reportedly has interest from five clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old is not first choice for the Catalan giants, but he has still featured on 39 occasions during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring three goals and registering two assists in the process.
The absence of Jules Kounde with a hamstring issue means that Garcia is likely to start at right-back against Inter Milan in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at San Siro next week.
However, there is currently widespread speculation when it comes to the Spain international's future, with a switch away from his current team believed to be probable during the summer market.
Nowhere to be seen: 'Unsettled' Real Madrid forward left out of squad for Celta battle
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F18%2Fvinicius-junior-rodrygo.jpg "Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo on August 18, 2024")
Brazilian forward Rodrygo is not in the Real Madrid squad for Sunday's La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.
There is currently a host of speculation when it comes to the 24-year-old's future, with a move away from the Spanish capital believed to be a serious possibility during this summer's transfer window.
Rodrygo has found it difficult to make his mark this term, only managing 13 goals and 10 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions, and he was withdrawn at the interval of the Copa del Rey final last weekend.
Premier League clubs are believed to be on red alert when it comes to a potential summer deal, with Chelsea and Arsenal both previously credited with an interest in the former Santos youngster.
Perez's wish: Real Madrid 'targeting summer move' for versatile defender
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F38%2Fflorentino-perez.jpg "Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in August 2024.")
Real Madrid are reportedly considering making a move for Real Sociedad defender Jon Aramburu during this summer's transfer window.
The 22-year-old has been a key player for La Real during the 2024-25 campaign, making 44 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and one assist, including 30 outings in the top flight of Spanish football.
Aramburu signed a contract extension with Real Sociedad in January 2025, with his contract now running until June 2030, but there is currently speculation surrounding his future in the Spanish capital.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid have identified Aramburu as a transfer target, with Los Blancos hugely impressed by his performances for his Basque outfit during the current season.
Onana replacement: Could Man United re-sign 6ft 8in giant this summer?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F15%2Fandre-onana.jpg "Manchester United's Andre Onana pictured on March 9, 2025")
Torino president Urbano Cairo has said that it is "normal" for goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to be the subject of transfer speculation considering his performances during the 2024-25 campaign.
The 28-year-old has been in excellent form for Torino this season, keeping 11 clean sheets in 36 appearances, conceding only 39 times, and there have been suggestions that he could be on the move this summer.
Manchester United are said to be huge admirers of the 6ft 8in goalkeeper, with the Red Devils believed to be giving serious consideration to making a move for him during this summer's transfer window.
Torino only have Milinkovic-Savic on a contract until June 2026, although there is the option to extend his deal for a further 12 months, so the Italian side are in a relatively solid position when it comes to any negotiations this summer.
"Difficult for Arsenal" - Huijsen's £50m Gunners move plunged into doubt
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F18%2Fcwdh.jpg "Charles Watts/Dean Huijsen composite image")
Arsenal signing Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth would make a "lot of sense", Gunners expert Charles Watts believes, but he fears that Mikel Arteta's team may not be as well-positioned as other clubs in the race for the highly-rated Spaniard.
The North London giants are said to be one of several sides interested in capturing the 20-year-old this summer, when he could leave the Vitality Stadium for a relatively modest £50m thanks to a release clause in his contract with Andoni Iraola's side.
Huijsen has excelled both on and off the ball this term, scoring twice in 28 Premier League matches for the Cherries, and Arsenal will get a good look at the Spain international in Saturday evening's clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal's supposed interest in Huijsen comes at a time when William Saliba is being linked with a move to Real Madrid, and while Watts does not believe that the Gunners chasing Huijsen has anything to do with concerns about Saliba's future, he fears that the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool could have the upper hand in the race.
Shock swap could materialise as Arsenal 'open to bids' for £38.3m man
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F39%2Fgabric.jpg "Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli and Riccardo Calafiori celebrate on September 28, 2024")
Arsenal are allegedly willing to listen to summer bids for Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori just one year after his arrival at the club from Bologna.
The 22-year-old has shown flashes of what he is capable of since joining the Gunners in the summer of 2024, but injuries and the rise of Myles Lewis-Skelly have hampered his progress.
Calafiori's most recent problem - a knee injury picked up during the March international break - is proving more tricky than first thought to overcome, and he will miss Saturday's Premier League battle with Bournemouth.
There are also no guarantees that the former Bologna man will be fit for next week's Champions League semi-final second leg with Paris Saint-Germain, but either way, Myles Lewis-Skelly will be expected to start against Les Parisiens.
No smoke without Fire as De Bruyne 'begins transfer talks' with new club
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F15%2Fkevin-de-bruyne_2.jpg "Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne on April 6, 2025")
Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne has supposedly entered talks with a new MLS club over a free transfer when the summer window opens.
The Belgium international's farewell tour at the Etihad is in full swing, as he scored the only goal of the contest in Friday night's 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
De Bruyne's winner in front of the home crowd was his 11th goal contribution from 25 Premier League games this season - four of his own and seven assists - but the club have nevertheless decided against offering him a new deal.
As the 33-year-old can realistically only expect one more lucrative contract before he hangs up his boots, a mega-money move to either Saudi Arabia or MLS is viewed as his most likely option, in spite of apparent interest from Aston Villa.
Revealed: How Trent could leave Liverpool early under 'two conditions'
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F17%2Ftrent-alexander-arnold.jpg "Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool applauds the fans on April 20, 2025")
Liverpool are supposedly willing to let Trent Alexander-Arnold join Real Madrid before the end of his contract if two conditions are met.
Over the past couple of weeks, Alexander-Arnold's winner against Leicester City and second Premier League title triumph has led to renewed hope that he could perform a drastic U-turn and sign a new agreement at Anfield.
However, a fresh contract does not appear to be forthcoming, and the 26-year-old is still widely expected to jump ship for the Bernabeu on a free transfer when the campaign draws to a close.
While Liverpool's season ends later this month, Alexander-Arnold's deal with the Premier League champions runs until the end of June, meaning that he would ordinarily not be available for the start of Real Madrid's Club World Cup campaign.
