Signed from Juventus for €15.2m, the 20-year-old centre-back has a £50m release clause and is widely tipped to join a top European side this summer.
Weston McKennie (Juventus)
May 2025 (talks ongoing)
Juventus have initiated contract extension talks with McKennie, whose current deal expires in June 2026, aiming to avoid losing him for free next year.
McKennie has re-established himself as a core player with 40 appearances and five goals this season. Juve want to secure his future ahead of a busy summer including the Club World Cup, which may see him miss the Gold Cup with the USMNT.
Luis Diaz (Liverpool)
Talks scheduled for post-2024/25 season
Luis Diaz is expected to open discussions with Liverpool about a contract extension following his 100th Premier League appearance and league title win. He has two years remaining on his current deal.
Diaz’s form—14 goals and high chance creation—has prompted Liverpool to initiate talks, though interest from Barcelona and Saudi clubs lingers. The Colombian winger joined from Porto in 2022 and has since won four major trophies with the Reds.
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
May 2025
Pep Guardiola has clarified he will take a break from football once he eventually leaves Manchester City, but he has no plans to retire. The Spaniard remains contracted with the club until June 2027 and emphasized he isn’t planning to leave imminently.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Guardiola explained his previous comments, stating that after his time at City ends—whenever that may be—he intends to rest for an undetermined period. He ruled out retiring and reaffirmed his current commitment to City.
Bilal El Khannouss (Leicester City)
Summer 2025 transfer window
Arsenal are eyeing a move for 20-year-old Leicester midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, who joined the Foxes from Genk last summer and tallied three goals and five assists in 35 matches.
With Leicester relegated, Arsenal see El Khannouss as a cost-effective squad option. He was signed for £21 million and is now being monitored as part of Arsenal’s effort to deepen their midfield ranks.
Antony (Real Betis)
Post-loan summer 2025
Atletico Madrid are weighing a move for on-loan winger Antony, who impressed again by scoring in Betis’ Conference League win over Fiorentina. He is expected to return to United in summer.
Atleti have enquired about a permanent deal. United are open to a sale, reportedly valuing the 25-year-old at €40–50m. Diego Simeone’s side are exploring options to strengthen their attacking depth.
Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP)
Summer 2025 transfer window
Arsenal are leading talks to sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres, viewed as a more accessible option than Alexander Isak. Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Man United are also monitoring the Swedish forward.
Sporting will consider offers between €60m and €70m. Arsenal initiated discussions with his camp and believe his physical style fits their system. Interest is expected to intensify post-season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
June 2025
Real Madrid hope to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in time for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Despite his contract ending in June, Madrid want to fast-track the move for an early debut.
Madrid may pay a nominal fee under €1m while Alexander-Arnold could waive his final month’s wages. Liverpool are reportedly open to discussions ahead of a potential summer departure.
Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich)
Summer 2025
LAFC are pushing to sign Bayern veteran Thomas Müller, who is also being monitored by San Diego FC and Chicago Fire. The 35-year-old is weighing MLS interest versus potential retirement.
Müller turned down FC Cincinnati but remains open to MLS options. LAFC lead the race, while Bayern prepare for his exit once his contract expires this summer. A decision is expected soon.
Franco Mastantuono (River Plate)
Summer 2025
River Plate’s 17-year-old starlet Franco Mastantuono is attracting interest from 17 European clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, after his standout Superclásico goal against Boca Juniors.
Mastantuono has a €45m release clause and a contract running until December 2027. Though River want to keep him longer, the player’s form and age make him a prime target for top-tier sides.
