  • Bellingham and Declan Rice hit the market in the transfer window
  • Ansu Fati’s next move
  • Alexis Mac Allister to join Liverpool
  • Manchester United in ‘Talks’ for Harry Kane

 

Eyes are already  looking ahead to the summer football transfer window. The thrilling
campaign is coming to a close and there is no time to waste before signings.
Bellingham and Declan Rice are some of the biggest names supposed to be on the move this
summer. The 2022 transfer windows were record-breaking in the top flight, with £1.9billion
spent in the summer before a further £780million was spent in January. However, English clubs
are only allowed to sign players from domestic leads until 1st July when international deals are
then permitted.

 

Arsenal is also in the race

 

Should Philips sign for West Ham in the summer, it would pave the way for his international
team-mate Rice to move to Arsenal. Indeed, West Ham will likely be scouting the market in the
summer in anticipation of Rice’s likely departure. According to The Independent, the 24-year-old,
who has been labelled ‘world-class’ by talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham, is Arsenal’s priority target
this summer.

Arsenal interested in Declan Rice’s signature

Rice’s contract is set to enter its final year in June. The Hammers have the option to activate a
clause that would extend his stay at the London Stadium by a further year. However, David
Moyes has admitted that the club would be looking for a fee in excess of £100million before
sanctioning a sale.

 

Chelsea to rival Manchester United for £150million striker

 

Chelsea has toppled Manchester United in the race for superstar Victor Osimhen. The Blues
will look to bring in the striker ahead of the Gunners this upcoming window according to the
reports by ESPN. The high flying Napoli star has given a resolute response when questioned about his
future following the club’s triumph in Serie A. The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has been a target
for Chelsea and Manchester United this summer, having scored 27 goals and provided five
assists in 34 appearances this season.

Chelsea, who have struggled for goals in the Premier League this season, are desperate for a new
striker and are reportedly interested in Osimhen, who is said to have all the attributes to thrive in
the English top-flight.

Napoli is expected to demand around £100million for Osimhen, who has a contract that runs
until 2025. Todd Boehly, the owner of the London club, is expected to make significant changes
to the squad this summer, with several players set to leave and new signings arriving in key
positions. While the Red Devils are said to be ordering a move for Randal Kolo Muani, Chelsea,s
pursuit of Osimhen has received a boost.

According to a report from Calciomercato, Boehly is willing to double Osimhen’s current
£4.5million (£3.9million) salary in order to lure him to Stamford Bridge. However, the fact that
Chelsea will not be playing in Europe next season may hinder their chances of securing his
signature, especially after his successful season with Napoli, which culminated in their Serie A
title triumph.

Real Madrid to raid Borussia Dortmund

 

Real Madrid are in advanced talks to sign Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude
Bellingham. Carlo Ancelotti’s side already has Luka Modric, Fede Valverde, Toni Kroos and
Aurelien Tchouameni among midfield options. When Jude Bellingham was at the peak of his
powers during the World Cup with England, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti had his say
on where he ranks one of the best young midfielders in the world.

It was a reminder, despite Bellingham being one of the most sought-after midfielders ahead of
this summer transfer window, that Real Madrid are a club with plenty of pedigree in that position. The Spanish giants are blessed with a wide range of young midfielders. Last year,
Aurelien Tchouameni, 23, signed a 6-year deal after joining for £68million from Monaco,
Eduardo Camavinga, 20, arrived 12 months earlier for a £35million fee from Rennes.
Federico Valverde, 24, is  currently closing in on 200 appearances for the club.

Which other clubs are interested in signing Bellingham?

Until recently, Liverpool had been considered favorites, but there was strong interest elsewhere.
As well as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and PSG have all been reported to want to
sign him.Bellingham was one of the young stars of the 2022 World Cup, scoring one, assisting
one and being arguably England’s best player as they reached the quarter-finals. Dortmund was
always expected to sell their star man this summer, having decided against losing him in 2022
during the same window that they lost Erling Haaland to Man City for £60m.

 

Jean-Clair Tobido’s journey

 

The red devils could require defensive additions once the summer transfer windows arrive,
should Hurry Maguire move on, as seems to be widely expected. Raphael Varane and Lisandro
Martinez will surely continue as Erik Ten Hag’s first choice center-back pairing, and if Victor
Lindelof stays put, bringing in someone else to battle for minutes could make a complete
sense.
Tobido is one player who has been linked with move to Old Trafford , having impressed for
Nice, with the 23-year-old making 30 appearances in Ligue 1 with a 3.2 clearance and 2.3 tackles
per game. Liverpool and Newcastle United are also believed to be in the hunt, with a
summer exit looking on the cards.Tobido could come in as a strong backup option to Varane and
Martinez initially, but slowly push to become a regular, particularly if the former continues to
struggle with injury problems .

The one-cap France Under-21 international must have good chance of eventually being capped at senior level and he could see United as the perfect place to further enhance his reputation, especially if they qualify for next season’s Champions League

 

Liverpool to seal a sign for £50million

 

Liverpool is in close contact with Alexis Mac Allister as they push to sign the Argentine
international in the summer transfer window. As per Fabrizio Romano, the south American
midfielder is eager to secure a move to Anfield and the reds are moving in to agree personal
terms with the player.TyC sports have reported that Liverpool are moving closer and closer to
sealing the signing of Mac Allister. The news outlet, based in capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires,claims the transfer is expected to be completed in the coming weeks for a fee of around£50million.

Mac Allister directly contributed in two goals in La Albiceleste’s World Cup winning campaign
in Qatar in 2022.To add on that, in Brighton, his form has been excellent in all competitions. The
24-year-old midfielder has directly contributed in 13 goals thus far. Liverpool lacks a creative
player in the center of the park who can make driving runs into the box and score and create
goals on regular basis following the departure of Sadio Mane

Ansu Fati could make move to premier league club

 

Ansu Fati has fallen out of favor under Barcelona boss Xavi. Ansu could leave Barcelona this
summer in a £70million move to a club in the premier league, his agent Jorge Mendes has
claimed. The 20-year-old Spain international winger has registered 26 goals and nine assists
across 103 games for the Catalan club, but Fati has fallen out of favor under boss Xavi and it is
likely that the player could leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

 

 

Teams mentioned with Fati’s transfer

 

Manchester United are linked with a move for Fati while Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo claims
Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested in a transfer. According to report SPORT, Fati’s agent
Mendes has now promised Barcelona that he will be able to secure £70million from a premier
league club in the summer transfer window. Fati’s father meanwhile has slammed Barcelona
and has urged his son to leave Camp Nou this summer.

 

Manchester United in ‘talks’  for Harry Kane

 

 

Harry Kane has been tipped to leave Tottenham for Manchester United. This has been seen just
prior to united’s 2-2 draw at spurs where Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender
believes that Manchester united are already in talks to sign him from Tottenham this summer.
United were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford but a spirited
Spurs side battled back to earn a point courtesy of goals from Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min,
the latter set up by Kane.

Kane has long been tipped to leave his boyhood club this summer with his contract ending in 2024, and united are the frontrunner for his signature as Erik Ten Hag looks to sign an elite striker. However, being Tottenham and England’s all-time leading scorer, the 29-year-old still has not won a major trophy and with the Lilywhites a mess behind the scenes some believe he could be tempted to head to Old Trafford where things are looking up under Ten Hag.

Though there are reports that united do not want to get into a prolonged transfer with Kane, like they did with Frenkie de Jong last summer, Ferdinand thinks negotiations have already begun. United are hopping that Kane will force a transfer.

 

Leicester City to let go of James Maddison

 

Since joining Leicester in 2018, Maddison has been one of the best players in the premier league
from outside of the ‘big six’, and this season he has unquestionably been  the foxes’ best
performer. The attacking midfielder has scored nine and assisted seven in 25 league games so
far, impressive numbers given how poor his side have been, with the club in serious danger of
relegation. Should they go down the championship, many of their best players will no doubt be
sold, but the Telegraph reports that, even if Leicester survive from being relegated, Maddison
will depart the King Power Stadium.

The 26-year-old is out of contract this summer and as such this is the foxes’ last chance to cash-
in on the star, with funds desperately needed after they revealed record loses of £92.5million
earlier this year. Thankfully for them, the England international has plenty of admirers, not least
Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle, with Leicester set to see him go for a fee in the
region of £45million to £60milliom.

In all competitions, Maddison has recorded 54 goals and 39 assists in 198 matches for Leicester,
helping them win the FA cup and community shield in 2021 and qualifying them for European football.
