TRENDING RUMORS
– Al Nassr are pushing to sign Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes following Al Hilal‘s failed attempt to bring him in, says A Bola. Al Hilal’s initial offer had been worth a fee of €120m and a five-year contract worth €70m-per-year for Fernandes, but that kind of money won’t be an issue for Al Nassr. They hope that reuniting the 30-year-old with manager Jorge Jesus and former United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo could be enough to persuade him to join them after they also signed João Félix from Chelsea.
– Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Newcastle United after a permanent move to Juventus stalled, says Le Parisien. Kolo Muani, 26, spent the second half of last season on loan at Juve, where he scored 10 goals in 22 games, but the two clubs are far apart on their valuation of a transfer and the France international is open to moving to the Premier League.
– VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade still has his heart set on joining Bayern Munich, but Manchester United and Newcastle both have him on their shortlists, as reported by Bild’s Christian Falk. Both Premier League clubs are keen to bring in a striker, but the 23-year-old doesn’t want to leave the Bundesliga at this stage. The largest of Bayern’s two offers has been €50m plus €5m in add-ons, and the Bavarians will take their time as they don’t want to raise it further.
– Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is keen on a move to Chelsea and is prioritizing a move to Stamford Bridge despite receiving offers from abroad, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, who adds that Chelsea was also the 21-year-old’s priority in January. This comes with the Blues considering a move for the Argentina international later this month. They have already strengthened on the wing this summer with Jamie Gittens and Estêvão joining from Borussia Dortmund and Palmeiras respectively.
– Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic is still the priority as AC Milan search for a striker, but Gazzetta dello Sport has stated that Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund and Paris Saint-Germain’s Gonçalo Ramos are now seen as alternatives to the Serbia international. The Rossoneri would likely try to sign either of the new options on loan. They are also looking at Young Boys‘ Zachary Athekame amid struggles to sign Strasbourg right back Guela Doué and are still working on a deal for Club Brugge midfielder Ardon Jashari.
