TRENDING RUMORS
– Arsenal could face strong competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, The Sun has revealed. The Gunners are on the search for attacking reinforcements during the offseason, and could turn to the Forest captain if a deal for Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers proves to be unfeasible. However, PSG are also tracking the development of Gibbs-White, who scored 15 goals in the Premier League this term, though he is is under contract until June 2028 and won’t be easy to prize away from the East Midlands club.
– Real Madrid are considering a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to TEAMtalk. The Georgia international has emerged as a potential marquee target for the Spanish giants, with club president Florentino Pérez reported to be a keen admirer, and Pérez recently hinted he’d be willing to sanction a transfer bid in excess of €150 million for a mystery “Galactico” signing. Given Kvaratskhelia’s status as one of Europe’s top attacking talents, Madrid will almost certainly have to smash their existing transfer record to get the deal done and it could also depend on whether Pérez wins the ongoing presidential elections.
– If he does, then his choice to be the next Real Madrid head coach, José Mourinho, is keen on signing Bernardo Silva after the midfielder left Manchester City exit, AS reports. The Portugal international is yet to announce his next career step, with his immediate focus being this summer’s World Cup, though Juventus and Atlético Madrid are keen. Silva, 31, has also been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, although it remains to be seen whether the Catalan giants will swoop for him after the recent €70 million signing of Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon.
– Tottenham Hotspur could sign Manchester City winger Savinho as part of a major recruitment drive under new boss Roberto De Zerbi after narrowly avoiding relegation, according to The Daily Mirror. Spurs have drawn up a shortlist of targets as they look to strengthen across several positions, with Savinho among the names under consideration. The club have already completed the signing of former Liverpool left back Andy Robertson, 32, and are expected to remain active in the market throughout the summer.
– Arsenal have made an approach to sign teenage Paris Saint-Germain defender Emmanuel Mbemba on a free transfer this summer, says the BBC. The 18-year-old, who has been offered a new contract by PSG, is considering a move to England after Arsenal made early contact and outlined their development pathway. Mbemba is said to favor a switch to north London, which would see him initially go out on loan in Europe before acquiring a work permit to play in the Premier League.
