TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid are open to letting forward Rodrygo leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, according to The Athletic. It is reported that manager Xabi Alonso “won’t stand in his way” if Los Blancos agree to a fee of around €80 million to €90 million with another club for the 24-year-old, whose future has faced uncertainty since concerns emerged regarding his “motivation” during training sessions. Rodrygo scored just six goals in 30 LaLiga games last season, and he has recently been linked with Arsenal.
– Arsenal have held new talks with Chelsea over a move for winger Noni Madueke, says Fabrizio Romano. Madueke, 23, could be open to a switch to the Emirates Stadium, and any move for him wouldn’t affect the Gunners’ pursuit of Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze. Madueke arrived at Stamford Bridge from PSV Eindhoven for a fee of £30m in 2023, and his recent form has seen him earn seven caps for the England senior national team.
– It’s been a few days since Chelsea signed a striker, so of course there are more links with another. Sport claims the club are willing to pay €40m to land 21-year-old Real Madrid forward Gonzalo García, who has impressed at the Club World Cup, but has only played five times in LaLiga. New Madrid coach Xabi Alonso reportedly wants to keep the youngster, with €72m signing Endrick likely to move out on loan as a result, but Chelsea are seeking another center forward to replace Nico Jackson.
– Negotiations are ongoing between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain regarding a new agreement for striker Randal Kolo Muani, according to Calciomercato. The Bianconeri are reportedly keen to sign the 26-year-old on a second loan deal that would include a permanent option clause, but it is believed that PSG would prefer to offload him permanently this summer. Kolo Muani scored eight goals in 16 Serie A games last season, and he also scored twice in three appearances at the FIFA Club World Cup before Juventus were eliminated by Real Madrid during the round of 16.
– Talks between AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain have begun, with the Serie A side lining up a move for attacking midfielder Marco Asensio, reports L’Equipe. The Rossoneri are reportedly set to challenge Fenerbahce and Villarreal for the 29-year-old, who enjoyed a bright loan spell in the Premier League while on loan at Aston Villa last season. Asensio is reported to be prioritizing a move to San Siro in favour of a switch to Turkey, where Fener have already made an offer worth €15m plus add-ons.
