Eric Dier (Bayern Munich > AS Monaco)
Summer 2025
Eric Dier will leave Bayern Munich and join AS Monaco on a two-year deal after failing to agree on contract terms with the German side.
Bayern were unwilling to match Monaco’s offer of contract length, leading Dier to accept the Ligue 1 club’s proposal ahead of the summer window.
Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea)
April 2025
Leverkusen are eyeing a move for Kepa following a successful loan spell at Bournemouth, viewing him as a long-term replacement for Hradecky.
Kepa has revived his career post-Chelsea through consistent loan performances. The 30-year-old could become Leverkusen’s new No. 1 this summer.
Diogo Costa (Porto)
April 2025
Manchester City are tracking Porto’s Diogo Costa as a potential replacement for Ederson, amid uncertainty over the Brazilian’s future.
Costa, Portugal’s No. 1, is represented by the same agent as Ederson. With two years left on his Porto deal, a transfer is possible if he doesn’t renew.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Newcastle are leading the pursuit of England international Guéhi, who is entering the final year of his Palace contract.
A £70m bid was rejected last summer, but with time running out on his deal, Palace may be more open to a sale now. Chelsea and Man City remain interested.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
April 2025
Chelsea are preparing a summer bid for Rogers, who has emerged as a top talent under Unai Emery at Villa this season.
Despite Villa’s desire to keep him, financial constraints could force a sale. Rogers is under contract until 2030 and is a strong contender for PFA Young Player of the Year.
Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid)
April 2025 (Copa del Rey Final aftermath)
Antonio Rüdiger received a six-game ban after being sent off for throwing an object during Real Madrid’s 3-2 loss to Barcelona. Jude Bellingham’s red card was rescinded after video review disproved the referee’s report.
The Spanish federation cited a “material error” in Bellingham’s case but upheld Rüdiger’s suspension, citing insufficient remorse. Lucas Vázquez also received a two-game ban for protesting on the pitch after being substituted.
Paul Pogba
April 2025
Free agent Paul Pogba remains focused on returning to European football despite MLS interest, notably from D.C. United, who hold his discovery rights. Talks with multiple clubs are ongoing.
Pogba, recently cleared to play after an 18-month doping ban, has attracted interest from clubs in France, Italy, Spain, and the U.S., but hopes to play Champions League football to earn a France recall for the 2026 World Cup.
Liverpool
Summer 2025
Liverpool will not participate in the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup despite being UEFA’s higher-ranked side, missing out due to FIFA’s two-club-per-nation rule.
Chelsea and Manchester City qualified based on past Champions League wins, leaving Liverpool excluded despite strong UEFA ranking; Liverpool will instead focus on a pre-season tour of Asia.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Summer 2025 (Upcoming Transfer Window)
Chelsea are targeting a summer move for Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers, though Villa are reluctant to sell their 22-year-old star performer who has scored 14 goals this season.
Financial pressure from missing Champions League qualification could force Villa to consider offers, despite Rogers signing a new contract until 2030 last November.
