TRENDING RUMORS
– Michael Olise has reportedly asked for a meeting with Bayern Munich about his future, reports AS, amid interest from Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and the Premier League. The France winger is aware of the attention in him and wants to address his future in Munich after the World Cup. He would like to know the German club’s position and learn how they value him. Bayern believe the 24-year-old could look for a new challenge elsewhere.
– Aston Villa value any transfer for England international Morgan Rogers at £130 million amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, reports The Telegraph. Middlesbrough would earn £26 million from the move if that valuation is met due to a clause in the deal that saw the attacking midfielder move to Villa Park in 2024. The sum would also mark a new British transfer record.
– Tottenham Hotspur are confident that they will complete the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali despite competition from Arsenal and Manchester City, according to talkSPORT. The 26-year-old has given the green light to join Spurs with broad terms between club and player in place, and talks are continuing. Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi has been a key factor in attracting Tonali to Spurs amid the competition they face. There is also a growing list of unsettled players in Newcastle’s camp this summer.
– The Daily Mail has an update on Arsenal’s search for a midfielder, with Bournemouth rejecting the club’s approach for Alex Scott, while the Gunners intend to make another offer for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães seeing their opening bid rejected. The Mail also mentions Arsenal’s interest in Newcastle’s Tonali and Spurs’ work to sign the 26-year-old, while West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes and Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi have been discussed. Manchester United and Spurs are the main frontrunners for Fernandes so far.
– The medical for Germany left back Nathaniel Brown’s move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Bayern Munich is scheduled for this week, reports Sky Germany. Brown will sign a contract that runs until 2031 in a move that will be worth an initial €50 million with an additional €5 million in add-ons. The 23-year-old’s former club, Nurnberg, will receive at least €4 million from Eintracht after deductions. The post referenced possible days for the medical if Germany stayed in the World Cup, but they were knocked out by Paraguay in a penalty shootout.
