TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United have shortlisted Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson as options to sign at left back, according to Sky Sports. United are in the market for a left back this summer, with competition needed for 30-year-old Luke Shaw after Tyrell Malacia’s exit and Patrick Dorgu being used further up the pitch. The club have been tracking Hall for a while, though Newcastle reportedly want a fee upwards of £60 million. Meanwhile, USMNT defender Robinson is entering the final two years of his contract at Fulham, with managerial uncertainty playing a potential factor in any move, and he could be available for less.
– Real Madrid may be looking to sign Bernardo Silva as a free agent when his contract at Manchester City comes to an end, according to ESPN sources, but the club will make room for him by looking to loan 18-year-old forward Franco Mastantuono to Juventus, according to Tuttosport. Mastantuono cost the club €45 million last summer when he joined from River Plate, but he was left out of Argentina’s World Cup as he struggled to adapt to his new club and will now leave to get more game time
– Newcastle have sent their first official offer to Osasuna to sign former Real Madrid winger Víctor Muñoz, says Fabrizio Romano. Discussions are ongoing between the clubs to reach an agreement that could cost around €40 million.

– Paris Saint-Germain have made contact with West Ham United over a potential double swoop to sign midfielder Mateus Fernandes and forward Crysencio Summerville. Footmercato reports that the European champions are keen to land the duo, who are both available after the Hammers suffered relegation from the Premier League. The double transfer is valued at €130 million, however Fernandes has also been linked with a move to Manchester United and Arsenal.
– Manchester United are preparing an offer to sign RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare, claims Footmercato. The Mali international is reported to be attracting attention following an impressive debut campaign in Ligue 1. Michael Carrick’s side aren’t alone in their interest, however, and there are some other unnamed Premier League teams believed to be monitoring the 23-year-old. While Sangare is on a long-term contract at Lens, there is an acceptance that he could leave this summer if the right bid arrives.
