TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United and Inter Milan are interested in Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic, says Gazzetta dello Sport. Muharemovic, 22, has impressed in Serie A this season and the Bosnia and Herzegovina international has also attracted attention from Bologna, Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Having signed from Juventus for 3 million in 2025, Muharemovic's next transfer (which is valued at around 30 million) would net Juve 50% of any fee and Sassuolo are keen to wait until the summer before they decide whether to let him go.
- Barcelona are also keen to bring in a center back, preferably one that is left footed and probably not until the summer, and have Tottenham Hotspur star Micky van de Ven on their shortlist, according to Sport. Van de Ven, 24, has a contract until 2029 so his transfer wouldn't come cheap, but the Netherlands international is reportedly keen to leave the club this summer. Other options who have been linked with Barcelona include Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund), Alessandro Bastoni (Inter), and Marc Guhi (Crystal Palace), though the latter is right footed.
- Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring Brentford forward Kevin Schade, as per Sky Germany. The Germany international, 24, is widely expected to be on the move after this summer's World Cup. Brentford value Schade's transfer at around the 50 million, although they still hope to renew his contract beyond 2028, while a host of other clubs retain a long-term interest in signing him.
- Real Madrid remain frontrunners in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck, Bild reports. While Bayern Munich are also keen on signing the Germany international, their preference is to wait until 2027, by which time he could be a free agent. Dortmund will demand a fee of at least 50 million from any interested clubs this summer, wjhich isn't expected to put off Real Madrid as they are looking for a new defensive leader with veterans Antonio Rdiger and David Alaba expected to depart.
- Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old forward Brian Madjo from Metz, according to Fabrizio Romano. A 12 million fee has been agreed to sign the England Under-17 international, who recently switched allegiance from Luxembourg. Madjo's medical has already been booked and he is set to sign a five-year deal at Villa Park once the move is finalized. Madjo has already had a taste of senior football, having played five times for Metz in Ligue 1 this season.
