Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
Summer 2025 transfer window
Bayer Leverkusen are interested in signing Jadon Sancho for a reduced fee of £20m as United seek a permanent sale after a mixed Chelsea loan.
Sancho’s Bundesliga familiarity makes a return feasible, but wage demands may hinder talks; Leverkusen see it as a value opportunity.
Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich)
Ongoing negotiations
Sané is open to extending his deal at Bayern, but his camp has countered the club’s pay-cut proposal with a €12m salary request.
Bayern had offered €10m; Sané’s team now awaits a response to the improved terms, as Arsenal monitor the situation.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
Summer 2025
Newcastle have joined the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, who has an €80m release clause, with Forest also interested.
Viewed internally as ideal for Howe’s system, Newcastle could test Palace’s resolve with a €70m bid; Palace may be open to a deal.
Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
Summer 2025 transfer window
Bayern Munich are increasingly optimistic about signing Florian Wirtz, who has also been on Manchester City’s radar. Leverkusen are fighting to keep their star.
Bayern are ready to pay over €100m, potentially topping the Harry Kane fee. Wirtz has yet to decide, while Leverkusen’s CEO calls the odds “50:50.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Sunday, final home game of the season
Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by sections of the Anfield crowd during his first appearance since confirming he will leave Liverpool this summer, with others applauding him.
Subbed on in the 67th minute, the academy graduate received a mixed reception after revealing he won’t renew his contract; Conor Bradley, seen as his successor, started and drew strong support.
Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen), Vanderson (Monaco)
Summer 2025 transfer window
With Trent Alexander-Arnold set to join Real Madrid, Liverpool are targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s Frimpong and Monaco’s Vanderson to strengthen the right-back position.
Frimpong, valued at €35m, is a prolific wing-back option. Vanderson, also tracked by Spurs, could join to compete with Conor Bradley.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Ongoing interest
Al Hilal haven’t given up hope of signing Fernandes, who turned down an earlier lucrative three-year offer from the Saudi club.
The Saudi club are also monitoring Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães and Villa’s Youri Tielemans as alternative midfield targets.
Nicolò Savona (Juventus)
Summer 2025 transfer window
Man City have agreed personal terms with Juventus right-back Nicolò Savona but also remain interested in Flamengo’s Wesley and Newcastle’s Tino Livramento.
Savona is keen on a Premier League move; City may still pursue Wesley as their top choice. Livramento’s high price may complicate negotiations.
Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid)
Deal expected soon, extends contract until 2030
Vinícius Júnior is close to signing a new Real Madrid contract worth €20m per year after tax, potentially rising to €30m with bonuses, making him the club’s highest-paid player.
After turning down Saudi interest last year, the Brazilian is finalizing a bonus-heavy deal similar to Madrid’s approach with Mbappé, rewarding performance while protecting wage structure.
Rúben Dias (Manchester City)
Saturday, Premier League Matchday
Rúben Dias slammed Southampton’s defensive approach in their 0-0 draw, claiming they “didn’t even try to play.” City dominated with 26 shots but couldn’t break through the league’s bottom side.
While Dias expressed frustration at Southampton’s time-wasting and deep defending, Pep Guardiola countered by insisting it was City’s responsibility to break down such teams, not criticize their tactics.
