TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United are monitoring Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco and Juventus’ Pierre Kalulu ahead of the summer transfer window, Calciomercato reports. United are on the lookout for defensive reinforcements, with Serie A seemingly a favoured scouting location. Kalulu is viewed with particular interest by the United hierarchy due to his versatility — the 25-year-old can play at right back and center back. As per the report, scouts from the Premier League club were present for Inter’s clash with Juve on Saturday evening. It remains to be seen what though of Kalulu seeing a red card in that game.
– Chicago Fire have stepped up their pursuit of Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski, as per Mundo Deportivo. The veteran striker is reportedly set to leave Catalonia in the summer, with his contract expiring after four years at the club. As things stand, interest from the Major League Soccer appears to be the most concrete. Chicago Fire are willing to go “all in” to sign Lewandowski, after a positive recent meeting with the player’s representatives. The 37-year-old may be stateside regardless this summer, as Poland can still qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
