Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan)
April 2025 (summer transfer window)
City are planning a €60m bid for AC Milan midfielder Reijnders as part of a larger rebuild to replace De Bruyne, with alternatives including Wirtz, Gibbs-White, and Cherki.
Despite Reijnders being under contract until 2030, he’s open to a Premier League switch, while Milan could be tempted by the fee. City’s broader midfield plan may limit Wirtz’s €150m pursuit.
Dan Ndoye (Bologna)
April 2025 (summer transfer planning)
United are preparing a €30m bid for Bologna winger Dan Ndoye and hope Zirkzee’s friendship with the Swiss star will sway his decision amid Napoli’s interest.
Zirkzee, though uncertain at United himself, could be key to persuading Ndoye, who’s had a productive season with 8 goals and 3 assists in 26 games.
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Summer 2025 (after Man City departure)
Inter Miami hold the MLS discovery rights for Kevin De Bruyne, giving them exclusive priority to negotiate with the departing Man City midfielder.
While no formal offer has been made yet, Miami’s listing means they’ve expressed real interest. However, signing De Bruyne would likely require freeing up a Designated Player slot from Messi, Alba, or Busquets.
Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich) Luis Henrique (Marseille)
Ongoing talks, summer 2025 plans
Sané is leaning toward signing a new deal with Bayern despite Arsenal’s interest, while Coman could leave.
Bayern are encouraged by positive renewal talks with Sané. Meanwhile, they’re scouting Marseille’s Luis Henrique as a possible replacement if Coman departs.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Borussia Dortmund)
Summer 2025 (planned move)
The 20-year-old winger has told Borussia Dortmund he wants to leave this summer after growing dissatisfied with his current role.
Dortmund are willing to sell and are lowering their initial €100m valuation. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich are monitoring closely.
Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
United legend Paul Scholes warned that Manchester United could sell young stars Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho to raise funds this summer, as Ruben Amorim faces budget limitations under financial fair play restrictions.
Amorim is expected to lead a squad overhaul, but lacks a large transfer budget. Scholes believes selling high-value academy talent like Mainoo and Garnacho may be United’s only way to fund necessary signings, calling the situation “a major concern.”
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
April 2025
Inter Miami hold the MLS discovery rights to Kevin De Bruyne, giving them priority to negotiate with the Belgian playmaker once he becomes a free agent after leaving Manchester City this summer.
With De Bruyne’s contract expiring and Inter Miami planning for the 2025 Club World Cup and Leagues Cup, they could now move to unite him with Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. San Diego FC are out of the race due to budget concerns.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Manchester United are preparing to challenge Arsenal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, initiating contact with his agent ahead of a potential summer move.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has a £62.5 million release clause and is open to leaving Wolves. His agent is expected to fly to England soon for negotiations. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are also monitoring the situation.
Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Benjamin Sesko (Leipzig)
Summer 2025
Liverpool are eyeing Napoli’s Osimhen and RB Leipzig’s Sesko as potential striker upgrades over Diogo Jota and Darwin Núñez, targeting more consistent firepower for next season’s title push.
Both forwards are valued around £70m—far cheaper than Newcastle’s £130m-rated Isak. However, Liverpool will face stiff competition from Arsenal, Man United, Juventus, and PSG for their signatures.
