Ronaldo makes 'final' Al-Nassr contract decision that impacts Club World Cup
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F01%2Fcristiano-ronaldo.jpg "Al-Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo reacts on November 25, 2024")
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly decided to sign a new deal with Al-Nassr and reject the chance to play at the upcoming Club World Cup.
The Portuguese legend is 40 years old, but he is still showing signs of life, scoring 25 goals in the league in 2024-25 and ending the season as the division's top scorer.
In fact, the forward has netted 74 league goals for Al-Nassr in just 77 games, and his decision to join the Saudi top flight helped pave the way for numerous stars such as Sadio Mane and Ivan Toney to make the switch from Europe.
With Ronaldo's contract set to expire on June 30, he has been linked to a number of teams that are set to participate in the upcoming Club World Cup this summer, and it would not be surprising if he looked to move elsewhere considering he is yet to win major silverware since moving to Saudi Arabia.
Reds' Kerkez 'boost' as Slot looks to bring in second full-back after Frimpong
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F14%2Fmilos-kerkez.jpg "Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth on March 9, 2025")
Bournemouth are said to have lined up Quentin Merlin as a replacement for Milos Kerkez amid interest from Liverpool in signing the left-back.
The Reds made their first addition of the summer transfer window on Friday when the club announced the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong, who is seen as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Frimpong is boss Arne Slot's second addition during his time at Anfield, and he looks set to spend significantly in the summer after only bringing in backup winger Federico Chiesa in his first two transfer windows.
Liverpool are expected to be in the market for another full-back to take the place of Andrew Robertson on the left side of defence, with Bournemouth's Kerkez strongly linked.
"Mucho" - Brentford's Frank issues transfer warning over Mbeumo

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has issued a transfer warning to Bryan Mbeumo's potential suitors.
Mbeumo faces an uncertain future at the Gtech Community Stadium amid speculation linking him with a move away this summer.
Manchester United have reportedly held talks with the Cameroon international over a potential transfer to Old Trafford.
Newcastle are set to rival Man United in the transfer race, with the Magpies said to be lining up a transfer bid for Mbeumo's signature.
Ten Hag 'targeting' two United stars in summer as Amorim looks to rebuild squad
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F43%2Ferik-ten-hag_1.jpg "Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on October 27, 2024")
Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly decided to target Antony and Alejandro Garnacho as he looks to reinforce Bayer Leverkusen.
Following the departure of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, Leverkusen turned to the services of Ten Hag, who was sacked from his role in the dugout at Old Trafford in October 2024.
Ruben Amorim was appointed in his place in November that year, but after failing to qualify for Europe and finishing 15th in the Premier League, the current head coach may not be granted the funds needed to rebuild his squad.
The Portuguese faces the prospect of having to sell a number of stars in order to raise money for summer purchases, though players such as Garnacho and Antony are out of favour and would not necessarily weaken the squad should they depart.
Chilwell decision made as Crystal Palace 'hold talks' to sign former Man Utd target
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F39%2Fben-chilwell.jpg "Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell in September 2024.")
Crystal Palace are reportedly in talks to sign a potential replacement for on-loan left-back Ben Chilwell.
After falling out of favour under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, Chilwell decided to join the Eagles on loan in the January transfer window in search of regular first-team football.
The 28-year-old England international was brought in by Palace boss Oliver Glasner to provide competition for Tyrick Mitchell in the left wing-back position.
However, Chilwell started just two of his 11 appearances across all competitions for the Eagles and was an unused substitute in the club's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
How "a nice dinner" could scupper Arsenal and Spurs' Sane transfer plan
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F41%2Fleroy-sane.jpg "Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane in October 2024.")
The agent of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has suggested that contract talks with the club are heading in the right direction amid links with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Both North London giants are believed to be monitoring the Germany international's situation, as he could leave the Bundesliga champions on a free transfer in the upcoming window as things stand.
Even though Sane will celebrate his 30th birthday next year, the opportunity to sign a player of his calibre without paying a penny to Bayern is one that neither Arsenal nor Spurs are likely to pass up.
The former Manchester City man has produced 61 goals and 55 assists from 220 matches for Bayern Munich over the past five years, having departed the Etihad for the Allianz Arena in 2020.
Man City midfielder 'out for two months' following Achilles operation
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F22%2Fkalvin-phillips-jack-grealish.jpg "Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish on August 11, 2023")
Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is reportedly facing at least two months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on an Achilles injury.
The 29-year-old spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Ipswich Town after falling down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium under manager Pep Guardiola.
Phillips started 14 of his 19 Premier League games for the Tractor Boys, but he was unable to help the club avoid an immediate relegation back to the Championship as Kieran McKenna's side finished in 19th place.
The England international was left out of Ipswich's final three top-flight fixtures due to injury and the Daily Mail claims that he has now gone under the knife for an Achilles issue.
"I have a feeling" - Amorim drops hint on Fernandes's Man Utd future
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F45%2Fbruno-fernandes_2.jpg "Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes pictured on November 10, 2024")
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has made a defiant claim over the future of captain Bruno Fernandes as Al-Hilal step up their attempts to sign the playmaker.
The 30-year-old's future has inevitably been called into question following Man United's worst-ever Premier League season, and Al-Hilal have been accelerating their pursuit in recent hours.
The Saudi Pro League giants are understood to have held productive talks with Fernandes's camp earlier this week, while the player himself is also seriously considering a move to the Middle East.
As speculation surrounding his next career move rages, Fernandes started Man United's 3-1 friendly victory over Hong Kong on Friday, playing the first half before being replaced by Toby Collyer.
Reijnders debut date becomes clear as Man City 'reach agreement' to sign Milan star
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F46%2Ftijjani-reijnders_1.jpg "Netherlands' Tijjani Reijnders on November 13, 2024")
Manchester City have reportedly reached an agreement with AC Milan to sign midfielder Tijjani Reijnders this summer.
Following an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign, the Citizens are embarking on a new era under the guidance of new sporting director Hugo Viana, with the wheels already in motion for City to revamp Pep Guardiola's squad.
Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has confirmed that several transfer targets have been "clearly identified" by the club and their "objective" is to build a "new squad" before their FIFA Club World Cup campaign begins in mid-June.
The Citizens are believed to be prioritising the addition of at least four new players ahead of next season, with midfield reinforcements expected as club legend Kevin De Bruyne is leaving upon the expiration of his contract in the summer.
From Leverkusen to Liverpool: Reds announce first signing of summer window!
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F08%2Ffriwir.jpg "Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz pictured on January 29, 2025")
Liverpool have confirmed the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £29.5m.
The Dutchman becomes the Premier League champions' first signing of the summer window and joins just a few hours after Liverpool agreed to let Trent Alexander-Arnold join Real Madrid early in a £10m transaction.
Liverpool did not confirm the length of Frimpong's contract, but the former Manchester City man is understood to have penned a five-year agreement until the end of the 2029-30 campaign.
In his first interview with the official Liverpool website, Frimpong revealed how it was a "no-brainer" for him to join reigning Premier League champions when he heard they were after his services.
Leicester face Ukrainian, Portuguese battle to sign Brazilian centre-back?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F13%2Fruud-van-nistelrooy.jpg "Leicester City head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy after his side's Premier League match against West Ham United, on February 27, 2025")
Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Flamengo defender Cleiton this summer.
The 22-year-old joined the youth system of the Brazilian giants in 2020 and has since made fleeting appearances in the first team of the club.
Across the course of the 2025 campaign to date, Cleiton has featured on five occasions for Flamengo, who are sitting second in their domestic league.
Leicester are clearly casting their scouting net far and wide following relegation from the Premier League, preparing for life back in the Championship.
Citizens cycle: Ipswich eyeing Man City youngster as Delap replacement?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F01%2Fliam-delap.jpg "Ipswich Town's Liam Delap on December 27, 2024")
Manchester City striker Divin Mubama is reportedly wanted by Ipswich Town this summer.
The Tractor Boys returned to the Premier League for the first time in two decades this season but suffered an immediate relegation back to the Championship.
Unlikely to be plying his trade in the second tier next term, Liam Delap is close to securing a switch from Portman Road to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
The striker netted 12 goals during his maiden top-flight campaign, a record which has seemingly spared him of second-tier football in 2025-26.
David saga nearing end as Arsenal, Man United-linked striker 'close' to agreement
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F12%2Fjonathan-david.jpg "Lille's Jonathan David celebrates on March 12, 2025")
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United may soon concede defeat in their pursuits of Lille striker Jonathan David, who is supposedly close to agreeing personal terms with a Serie A giant.
The Canada international will be one of the most high-profile free agents on the market when his deal with the 2020-21 Ligue 1 champions officially runs out at the end of next month.
A Premier League move has been mooted for David for some time now, and it was claimed earlier this month that Arsenal were at the head of the queue to capture the 25-year-old.
Spurs and Man United have also been keeping tabs on the Canadian's situation, though, while Chelsea and Liverpool were also linked with a cut-price move earlier in the transfer window.
Chelsea 'set Petrovic valuation' amid transfer talk, could be 'issue' for suitors
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F35%2Fdjordje-petrovic.jpg "Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic in action in April 2024.")
Chelsea have reportedly decided on an asking price for goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
Having been left out of Enzo Maresca's plans upon the arrival of the Italian, Petrovic found himself with his future up in the air.
However, the Serbia international responded by delivering a season on loan at Strasbourg where he earned the club's Player of the Season award.
Strasbourg will now participate in next season's Conference League, but a decision needs to be made over whether they have any chance of retaining Petrovic's services in the long term.
Transfer roundup: Flekken to Bayer Leverkusen, Alcaraz to Everton
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F47%2Fmark-flekken.jpg "Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken pictured on November 23, 2024")
Brentford have reportedly rejected a £7.6m bid from Bayer Leverkusen for goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
The 31-year-old joined the Bees from Bundesliga outfit Freiburg during the summer of 2023, making some high-profile errors during his maiden campaign in the Premier League.
However, Flekken has enjoyed a steadier second term in the English game, featuring in 37 top-flight matches for Thomas Frank's side, keeping seven clean sheets.
At the age of 31, the Dutchman is one of the more experienced players in the Brentford starting XI, which contains superstars such as Yoane Wissa and Newcastle United-linked Bryan Mbeumo.
Delap deal irrelevant as Chelsea 'still pushing' for £84m signing
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F22%2Fhugo-ekitike.jpg "Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike pictured on May 4, 2025")
Chelsea's interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike has supposedly not dwindled despite their agreement for Ipswich Town's Liam Delap.
The Blues are believed to have won the race to sign the highly-rated Delap, having signalled their intention to trigger the £30m release clause in his Portman Road contract.
Delap's modest clause came into effect after Kieran McKenna's men were relegated from the Premier League, and Chelsea have beaten six other interested clubs to his signature.
The former Manchester City man will now prepare to undergo his medical and sign his contract with the Conference League champions, where he will compete with Nicolas Jackson for the number nine spot.
How Liverpool's 'club-record' Wirtz bid could aid Ronaldo replacement mission

Liverpool have reportedly come forward with a mammoth €130m (£109.3m) offer for Bayer Leverkusen attacker Florian Wirtz, who could become the Reds' most expensive signing of all time.
Following Manchester City's decision to withdraw from the race for the Germany international, Liverpool quickly moved to the head of the queue to secure his services.
The Premier League champions have been in dialogue with Leverkusen for a number of weeks now, as the two clubs have already struck an agreement to take Jeremie Frimpong to Anfield.
The right-back's move to Merseyside is expected to be made official in the coming hours, on the same day that Liverpool accepted an £8.4m offer from Real Madrid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold early.
Exclusive: Parlour delivers firm warning to Arsenal over striker situation
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F15%2Fray-parlour-and-mikel-arteta.jpg "Arsenal may need to sign two strikers to win the Premier League title")
Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has warned the Gunners that their striker crisis from the second half of last season should not have been allowed to happen, and their lack of depth must be addressed if they are to push on for major honours next year.
Mikel Arteta's also-rans had to accept a second-placed Premier League finish for the third straight campaign in 2024-25, while also failing to add to their trophy cabinet in the Champions League, FA Cup or EFL Cup.
Arsenal went into the season with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus jostling for position up front, but the pair both missed the end-of-season run-in, as the former tore his hamstring while Jesus ruptured his ACL in January.
As Arsenal failed to bring in a new number nine during the January window, Mikel Merino had to fill in up front for the majority of the second half of the campaign, and he did an admirable job in an unfamiliar position.
"Interest is mounting" - How Arsenal can repeat Liverpool trick to win Garcia race
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F22%2Fcwjg.jpg "Charles Watts/Joan Garcia composite image")
Arsenal may find it "very hard" to win the race for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, but they could follow a Liverpool example to edge out other interested parties, expert Charles Watts has theorised.
The Gunners have been persistently linked with an approach for the Spaniard for a number of months and are likely to step up their interest now that Neto will soon head back to parent club Bournemouth.
Garcia could be available for around £21m thanks to a release clause in his contract, but Manchester United and Barcelona have also been tipped to make a move for the 24-year-old, although he has supposedly already turned down the latter.
Two other Premier League sides are already said to have reached a verbal agreement on the player's side too, but Watts wonders whether Arsenal could sign him and loan him out for the 2025-26 season, as Liverpool did with Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Real Madrid plot shock Arsenal move as contract talks 'not going well'

Real Madrid are reportedly making an attempt to prise an Arsenal defender away from the Emirates Stadium this summer.
With Xabi Alonso having just been confirmed as the new head coach of Real Madrid, Los Blancos will now go through a transitional period on the back of surrendering the La Liga title to Barcelona.
There are several areas of the pitch that require strengthening, with Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen having already been signed and veteran midfielder Luka Modric departing the Bernabeu having reached veteran status.
The left-back position is another area which brings issues for Alonso, a consequence of Ferland Mendy having sometimes struggled to remain fit and Fran Garcia not always being convincing while at the club.
Fernandes 'seriously considering' huge Man United decision amid transfer interest
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F19%2Fbruno-fernandes.jpg "Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes on May 1, 2025")
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has reportedly opened the door to a potential summer exit.
After a campaign where he contributed 19 goals and 20 assists in all competitions, club captain Fernandes has solidified his status as Ruben Amorim's star player.
However, failure to qualify for the Champions League has left United and Fernandes as a crossroads moment, the club being limited in what they can spend in the transfer market and the player without continental football while at his peak.
In the aftermath of the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Fernandes acknowledged that United may have to consider "cashing in" on his signature and hinted that he was prepared to leave if the club wanted to sell him.
Wrexham 'open talks' to sign out-of-contract Spurs defender

Wrexham are reportedly looking to secure the ambitious signing of Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies.
The Red Dragons are currently preparing for their long-awaited return to the Championship on the back of three successive promotions.
With Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the helm, Wrexham will be an attractive option to a wide array of high-profile players of a certain level during the summer transfer window.
Most recently, West Ham United forward Danny Ings, who is departing the London Stadium on a free transfer, has been linked with a move to the Racecourse Ground.
Maresca 'approves' Chelsea interest in 18-year-old Brazilian starlet

Chelsea have reportedly identified yet another Brazilian starlet as a transfer target.
Having secured Champions League qualification, Blues supporters can expect yet another busy period in the market as Chelsea relentlessly try to strengthen their squad.
However, even prior to the expected arrival of Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, Brazilian duo Andrey Santos and Estevao Willian are expected to become part of Enzo Maresca's senior crop next season.
The pair have been starring at Strasbourg and Palmeiras respectively, in contrast to the likes of Angelo Gabriel and Deivid Washington who have either already departed Stamford Bridge or likely have no future at the club.
Transfer roundup: Kvistgaarden to West Ham, Ings to Wrexham

West Ham United have reportedly joined the race for Brondby striker Mathias Kvistgaarden this summer.
The 23-year-old appeared to wave goodbye to supporters of the Danish club during their final match of the season versus AGF Aarhus on Sunday.
Kvistgaarden has enjoyed a marvellous campaign on the domestic scene for Brondby, netting 17 goals across 29 Danish Superligaen appearances.
The youngster also made considerable waves on the continental stage, scoring twice during three Conference League matches earlier in the term.

Nottingham Forest are reportedly closing in on the signing of Botafogo forward Igor Jesus.
Although Forest have missed out on Champions League qualification, featuring in next season's Conference League will still make them an attractive option in the transfer market.
The East Midlands outfit already have some high-profile players in their ranks and that will only increase as the summer window progresses.
According to Globo Esporte, Forest have presented Botafogo with a lucrative offer to sign Jesus over the coming weeks.
Wolves 'approach Liverpool' over deal for 18-year-old talent
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F25%2F22%2Fkieran-morrison.jpg "Liverpool youngster Kieran Morrison in February 2025.")
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified a highly-regarded Liverpool prospect as a potential summer transfer target.
Vitor Pereira suggested in an interview earlier this week that he is interested in adding to the Portuguese contingent at Molineux from next month onwards.
However, a balance will need to be found, both in terms of the short and long term as Wolves look to ensure that they spend their immediate future away from the Premier League relegation zone.
There is already the prospect of teenagers such as Pedro Lima and Mateus Mane playing roles in the first-team squad during 2024-25, yet it appears that there may be another talented youngster who could join them in the senior ranks.
Hughes and Edwards pull off masterstroke as Liverpool release Trent statement

Liverpool have confirmed that they have accepted an offer from Real Madrid for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will pay the Reds a reported £10m to sign him before the end of his contract.
The England international's imminent move to Los Blancos had been an open secret for several weeks, and it was only a matter of time before his transfer to the Bernabeu was made official.
Alexander-Arnold confirmed before the end of the 2024-25 season that he would be departing his boyhood club without naming his next destination, and the initial expectation was that he would leave without Liverpool earning a penny.
However, as Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool deal was due to expire on June 30, he would originally not have been able to join the Spanish giants in time for the start of their Club World Cup campaign, which begins on June 18.
Italian job: Two more Serie A clubs 'enter race' for Man United outcast Garnacho

Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly wanted by AC Milan this summer.
The Argentine forward played for the Red Devils earlier this week, when they were embarrassed during the first match of their post-season tour of Asia.
Ruben Amorim's side lost 1-0 to ASEAN All-Stars - a team which contained a group of players who have never turned out together in a match before.
Garnacho featured for 44 minutes in the defeat, with Man United looking to retain as much value in the attacker as possible before a summer departure.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly launched a shock enquiry for the services of Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku.
The 27-year-old was an unused substitute for the Blues on Wednesday night, when they produced an excellent comeback to beat Real Betis in the final of the Conference League.
Enzo Maresca opted to bring youngster Marc Guiu onto the Wroclaw pitch instead of Nkunku, with the former supposedly attracting interest from Ipswich Town ahead of the summer window.
The striker could move to Portman Road as part of the deal for Liam Delap to swap the Championship-bound Tractor Boys for Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid have reportedly accelerated talks with Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds academy graduate is set to depart the Anfield club after two decades on the system of the team and helping his side to two Premier League crowns.
Alexander-Arnold lifted the second of those English titles on Sunday afternoon, when Liverpool celebrated in front of their home support following a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
Whilst the right-back is set for an exit this summer, fellow defender Ibrahima Konate has revealed that he is happy at Anfield, although he is yet to sign fresh terms.
