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.
Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich)
May 2025
Bayern Munich fans gave club legend Thomas Müller a rousing send-off in his final home game, marking the end of a storied career at the Allianz Arena.
Though Müller wanted to extend his contract, Bayern chose not to renew it to manage finances. His farewell comes after years of loyal service, sparking emotional tributes from fans and teammates.
Ramy Bensebaini (Borussia Dortmund)
Summer 2025
Ramy Bensebaini is keen to leave Dortmund for Marseille, who are targeting defensive reinforcements. BVB are open to a €20m deal to facilitate the move.
Bensebaini is on OM’s shortlist as they revamp their backline. Dortmund are expected to green-light the exit, and Marseille are also considering Aymeric Laporte as an alternative.
Abdoulie Manneh (Mjällby)
Summer 2025
Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth are chasing 20-year-old Mjällby star Abdoulie Manneh, who’s impressed with seven goals in 12 league games and is valued at £4.25 million.
The Gambia international plays primarily as a No. 10 and made his senior debut in 2022. His performances have drawn interest from Europe, with Brighton leading the charge to secure his signature.
Yann Bisseck (Inter Milan)
Summer 2025
Tottenham, West Ham, and Everton are among several clubs tracking Inter defender Yann Bisseck after his stellar UEFA Champions League campaign. Inter may cash in on the 24-year-old if a strong offer is tabled.
Bisseck has drawn attention across Europe after playing every match in Inter’s Champions League final run. Under contract until 2029, his sale could fund reinforcements despite being a core part of Inzaghi’s squad.
