TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United and Real Madrid have added Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen to their shortlists, according to AS. Both clubs are reported to be ready to “fight” to sign the 19-year-old in the summer transfer window, with both actively looking for reinforcements at centre-back. The Red Devils are said to have also identified West Ham United’s Jean-Clair Todibo, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, and Sporting CP defender Gonçalo Inacio as potential alternatives. Huijsen has shone in his 18 Premier League appearances for Andoni Iraola’s side so far this season.
– Chelsea are lining up a move for Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, reports TEAMtalk. The Blues believed to already be looking into an approach for the 22-year-old Spain international, who is reportedly willing to join a big club in Europe in the next transfer window. It is said that a switch to Stamford Bridge could hinge on whether manager Enzo Maresca secures UEFA Champions League football next season.
– Multiple clubs remain interested in Atalanta midfielder Éderson, according to TEAMtalk. Talks are expected to take place in the coming weeks with Manchester City still keen on the 25-year-old, though they could face competition from Liverpool, who are said to have made an enquiry regarding a potential summer move. La Dea dismissed interest in Éderson over the January transfer window amid their current push for the league title in Serie A.
– Newcastle United are set to win the race ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid to sign Malaga winger Antonio Cordero, reports the Daily Mail. It is reported that the 18-year-old is keen on joining the Magpies after visiting St. James’ Park with his representatives, and there is now optimism that an agreement can be reached on a pre-contract, with his current deal set to expire in the summer. Cordero has made 23 appearances for Malaga this season in Spain’s Segunda Division.
– A new approach is expected to be made by Chelsea after their proposal in January was rejected by Nottingham Forest for centre-back Murillo, according to Football Insider. Murillo, 22, has been one of the standout stars at the City Ground this season, and he is believed to be a “top option” in the Blues search for a defender. However, it is reported that a move will be difficult to complete if Forest secure Champions League qualification, having recently signed Murillo to a long-term contract until the summer of 2029.
