TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United have started talks with Bruno Fernandes over a new contract, reports transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The United captain has a deal at Old Trafford until 2027, but after recently setting a new Premier League single-season assist record (21), club officials are looking to reward the midfielder. Initial discussions are believed to have taken place, with United keen to fend off interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Europe for the 31-year-old amid a clause in his existing deal that mean he is available for £57 million.
– Juventus have made enquiries over a possible move for out-of-contract Liverpool left back Andy Robertson, according to transfer reporter Gianluca Di Marzio. The Serie A side are attemtping to beat Tottenham to a deal for the soon-to-be free agent. Spurs have had a deal in principle agreed with the Scotland international since January, on the condition of Premier League survival, but nothing has been formally signed. Juventus could jump into the race to land Robertson, even after they missed out on Champions League football.
– Tottenham have sealed a verbal agreement with defender Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer, reports transfer journalist Matteo Moretto. The Argentina center back has already confirmed he will leave the Cherries when his contract expires at the end of the season, and he has several options for his next move. He has been heavily linked with Spurs in recent weeks, although any interest in a move relied on their Premier League status. With survival confirmed last weekend, the 29-year-old is expected to be one of manager Roberto De Zerbi’s first signings this summer.
– Those aren’t the only deals Tottenham are making. Spurs are also looking to add Savinho from Manchester City, reports the Daily Mail. The 22-year-old has made 35 appearances this season, but failed to gain a regular place in Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup. It remains to be seen whether Savinho would be open to a move to Spurs, as well as the transfer valuation City would set. Goalkeepers James Trafford and Karl Darlow have also been targeted for the rebuild at Spurs.
– Liverpool have a big task ahead in replacing winger Mohamed Salah this summer, and the Telegraph report it is top of their to-do list. RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande is reported to be their top target, with the 19-year-old’s deal containing an £86 million release clause. Beyond him, Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon is also being monitored, along with Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.
