TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool are refusing to rule out a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, but a valuation set at around £150 million would end their interest, reports The Sun. Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola is seen as an alternative with the 22-year-old’s future at Les Parisiens in doubt. The Reds will look to offload Darwin Núñez to raise funds and will consider offers for Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota.
– Talks have been held between Bayern Munich and the representatives of Athletic Club star Nico Williams, reports Sky Sports Deutschland. The 22-year-old has informed Bayern that he wants to join them and is demanding a gross salary of around €20, while his release clause is set at around €60m to €65m. The Bavarians are also looking at PSG’s Barcola, but there is a feeling that a transfer will be difficult to complete.
– AC Milan left-back Theo Hernández is keen to return to Atlético Madrid after turning down a move to the Saudi Pro League, reports Marca, stating that a deal wouldn’t be much more than €20m. The 27-year-old re-joining the club is a possibility despite ill feelings about his move to Real Madrid before he had made a senior appearance for Los Colchoneros.
– Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle are all monitoring developments around Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho after Chelsea cancelled their option to sign him permanently, reports The Sun. Villa are keen on a loan, but the Red Devils want to bring in funds for the 25-year-old; the latter pair see him as a strong option to help them compete in the Champions League.
– Barcelona will look to replace Gerard Martín with Bayer Leverkusen’s Alex Grimaldo if the left-back leaves, amid Premier League interest from the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth, reports Diario Sport. Grimaldo has a clause that would allow him to move to Spain for around €15m, while AS Monaco’s Caio Henrique is seen as an alternative and has a similar valuation.
