TRENDING RUMORS

– Manchester City and Bayern Munich are interested in Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to Nicolò Schira. The 26-year-old is yet to reach an agreement over a new contract with PSG and is entering the final year of his deal at the Parc des Princes. As such, both City and Bayern are keeping close tabs on the Italy No. 1’s situation as each of them are looking to sign a top replacement for their long-serving goalkeepers, respectively Ederson and Manuel Neuer.

– Chelsea have made Aston Villa winger Morgan Rogers their top priority this summer, reports The Sun. The Blues are believed to be willing to “push the boat out” to secure the 22-year-old England international’s signature, amid belief that an offer worth in the region of £80 million would be required to persuade the Villans to part ways with one of their key players. The deal could take until August to progress, with both clubs taking extra care to remain aligned with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

– Juventus are advancing on a move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The Bianconeri are said to have held “positive talks” with the Red Devils as well as the 25-year-old’s representatives, and they are expected to push forward with their approach for him after they finalise a move away for winger Nico González. Sancho was on loan last season at Chelsea, where he scored three goals and provided four assists in 31 Premier League matches.

– Negotiations between Barcelona and Manchester United are continuing as the Blaugrana look to find a solution to sign forward Marcus Rashford, Nicolò Schira reports. The LaLiga side have made a loan offer that includes a conditional mandatory clause to become permanent, despite the Red Devils looking to offload him permanently for €45m this summer. Meanwhile, Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Juventus could join the race for the 27-year-old, after they made an enquiry for him on Wednesday.

– A move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is being considered by Aston Villa, reports the Daily Mail. The Premier League club are said to have “registered their interest” in the 21-year-old, but they could face competition from both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, who are also watching his situation at Old Trafford. Garnacho remains keen on playing in England’s top flight amid recent interest from Napoli and Atlético Madrid, and it is said that the Red Devils would prefer to move him on permanently rather than explore a potential loan deal.
