  • Gar Blimey

    Man Utd fans have been left shocked after it was revealed that the club paid just £100,000 for Alejandro Garnacho.

    The Athletic claim that signed him from Atletico Madrid last summer for just a compensation fee after he was recommended to the club by a scout.

    Fans joked the cost of the wonderkid is as much as a team-mates' weekly wage and hailed him "the biggest bargain ever".

  • Pot luck

    Graham Potter is reportedly in no rush to return to management and will wait for a club and project that suits him.

    He received a large pay-off after his Chelsea sacking and is happy to take more time away from football.

    Crystal Palace and Leicester are rumoured to be interested in him.

  • 'Keep' an eye out

    Chelsea are keen to sign a new goalkeeper this summer and are weighing up bids for a number of players.

    Inter Milan's Andre Onana and Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvil have both been scouted by the club, according to reports.

    Current Blues keepers Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga have both been linked with moves away.

  • Mac Allister nears Liverpool move

    Alexis Mac Allister is closing in on a transfer to Liverpool.

  • Wolf pack

    Wolves duo Joao Moutinho and Diego Costa are free agents after both players' contracts were not renewed.

    Moutinho has been at the club for five seasons and captained the side on many occasions.

    Costa joined in January on a short-term deal that will not be extended.

    Adama Traore's deal is also up but the club are working on tying him down for the future.

  • Galtier to leave PSG

    Christophe Galtier will reportedly be sacked by the PSG after their final match of the season today.

    The boss has only been in charge for one season.

    And the Parisians have won Ligue 1 again but it has been a turbulent year from Champions League disappointment to chaos regarding the future of Lionel Messi, who will leave.

    It's set to be a summer of charge for PSG as chiefs plan a squad overahaul.

    Jose Mourinho and Luis Enrique are reported candidates to fill Galtier's shoes.

  • Good morning football fans

    Bayern Munich are really muscling in over Declan Rice and Sergio Ramos is joining Lionel Messi in exiting PSG.

    West Ham captain Rice remains Arsenal's priority target, with Manchester United and now Liverpool also interested.

    But there's serious talk the England anchorman is ready to consider joining Thomas Tuchel's German champions.

    Meanwhile, 37-year-old legend Ramos is the latest huge name to be tipped for a move to Saudi Arabia.

    It comes after the four-time Champions League winner announced today's season finale at home to Clermont will be his last game for Ligue 1 PSG.

    Barcelona legend Messi is rated odds-on to move to the Saudi Pro League.

    But fellow 35-year-old and Real Madrid hero Karim Benzema is downplaying speculation he'll switch to the middle east country.

    Erik ten Hag's United are said to be still negotiating over Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount.

    And Arsenal are reportedly eying Red Devils' strike target Rasmus Hojlund.

    Atalanta valued their Denmark star, 20, at £43million.

    Lastly, Aston Villa could join Newcastle in pursuing Gunners' left-back Kieran Tierney.

  • Everton keen on Tammy

    Everton want Roma striker Tammy Abraham to solve their scoring problems.

    The Toffees are trying to clinch a £27million deal for the former Chelsea striker.

    Abraham cost Roma £34million when he joined them from Chelsea two years ago and still has another three years to run on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico.

    But the Serie A giants are in danger of breaching Italy’s strict FFP regulations and are ready to listen to offers for the 25-year-old. 

    Chelsea have the option to trigger a buy-back clause for the England international this summer for an agreed fee of £68million.

    But that would be twice what they sold him for and they have no plans to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.

  • Ramos announces PSG exit

    Sergio Ramos has announced he's following Lionel Messi out of PSG this weekend.

    The Spanish legend, 27, says Sunday's Ligue 1 finale at home to Clement Foot will be his last game for the French champions.

  • Rice 'gives feeling' he's open to Bayern move

    Arsenal's status as favourites to sign Declan Rice has been wobbled by claims he's "given the feeling" he'd consider joining Bayern Munich.

    Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg suggests the West Ham skipper is open to linking up with ex-Chelsea chief Thomas Tuchel at the German champions.

    Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with the England anchorman.

    But the 24-year-old is rated the main summer target for Gunners' boss Mikel Arteta.

  • Gunners favourites to sign Simons

    Arsenal are reportedly the most likely club to bid for Xavi Simons.

    The PSV midfielder has shone in the Eredivisie this season.

    The 20-year-old was tipped to be one of the best players in the world when he was a youngster in the Barcelona academy.

    He moved to PSG to accelerate his chances at first-team football but left to return to his homeland as he again didn’t want to wait for playing time.

  • 'Detailed talks on Rasmus'

    Manchester United have held "detailed talks" over signing Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.

    So says The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell, who believes Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag wants one new young forward plus an experienced one.

    Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani, 24, is on the list alongside 20-year-old Hojlund.

    Negotiations over Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount are ongoing.

  • Villa tipped to fight Toon for Tierney

    Aston Villa could duel Newcastle for Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney

    The Scotland star faces another struggle for game time if he stays at the Emirates next season following Oleksandr Zinchenko's superb first campaign.

    Tierney, 25, earns on around £110,00 a week but made only six Prem starts in 2022-23, coming on 21 times.

    The Times believe Villa are ready to join longer-term admirers Newcastle in the hunt for the ex-Celtic hero.

  • Kop in four-club hunt for Tete

    EXCLUSIVE: Kenny Tete has zoomed onto the radar of Liverpool and two other unnamed Premier League rivals as Fulham stall on a new deal for the defender, writes ISABELLE BARKER.

    There is also interest in the Holland right-back from an unrevealed La Liga club.

    The 27-year-old arrived at Craven Cottage from Lyon in 2020 and is about to enter the final year of his contract, with an option to extend for another 12 months. 

    The former Ajax youngster is valued at around £10.5million.

    The 14-cap star has played a key role in Fulham’s impressive return to the Prem, with one goal and five assists. 

    But Tete is injury prone and missed six games early in the campaign.

  • Toon close on Yankuba

    Newcastle are close to making Gambian whizkid Yankuba Minteh their first signing of the summer.

    The winger is set to join the Magpies from Danish club Odense for £6million and is seen as a star for the future.

    Minteh, 18, is due on Tyneside over the next few days for a medical before he is expected to be sent out on loan next season.

    He started at Steve Biko FC in Gambia, moving to Denmark last July.

    Minteh made 17 appearances last season, scoring four goals and providing six assists.

    His arrival mirror’s the signing of Garang Kuol, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Hearts following his arrival from Australia’s Central Coast Mariners.

    The Aussie struggled in Scotland, starting just one league game, and is set for another loan next term.

  • Everton keen on Tammy

    Everton want Roma striker Tammy Abraham to solve their scoring problems.

    But that would be twice what they sold him for and they have no plans to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.

  • 'Rice agrees terms - but Liverpool also keen'

    Declan Rice has reportedly agreed terms with Arsenal but Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are still in the hunt.

    That's the suggestion from  as West Ham all but resign themselves to losing the England midfielder this summer.

    The Hammers' skipper, 24, would be content to join the Gunners, having previously revealed he's happy staying in London.

    But Football Transfers also say he wants his club to be “adequately compensated for his departure”.

    And it's said this "could get open the door for a late swoop from Manchester United, Liverpool or Bayern Munich”.

  • Utd 'step up Hojlund hunt after Arsenal join race'

    Manchester United are hotting up their interest in Rasmus Hojlund after Arsenal reportedly contacted Atalanta over the Denmark striker.

    That's the claim from , who also suggest Prem clubs would need to bid around £43million for the 20-year-old.

    Hojlund has set Serie A alight with his pace, also notching 15 goals.

  • Transfer target Maddison will 'hurt' for a long time

    James Maddison has been linked with Prem rivals - but is still focused on the "devastation" of Leicester's relegation.

    Newcastle and Tottenham have been tipped to target the twice-capped England midfielder.

    But Maddison, 26, made no mention of a possible exit in an emotional Instagram post.

    He wrote: "Absolutely devastated to be relegated...

    " I’ve took a bit of time to reflect... and to be honest it doesn’t make it any easier at all.

    "This will hurt for a very long time and probably stick with us all forever. But that’s life & it’s about how you bounce back from setbacks & failure and unfortunately that’s exactly what this season was.. a failure.

    "We should never have been in the position we were, with the players we have. But we take responsibility for that & the negativity that comes with it & continue to stick together."

  • Sorry to be Wout of here

    Wout Weghorst has conceded that he is unhappy with just the two goals he’s scored for Man Utd since his January loan arrival.

    Weghorst said: “I’ve really tried to give my all in every match I’ve played, in every minute I’ve had.

    “It doesn’t matter which position it is. I always give my best.

    “Of course, for me as a striker, only two goals is not enough. It’s not good.

    “That’s just the only thing for me that’s disappointing, because I know I’m capable to do it.

    I scored a lot in the past, but all the other parts of the football contribution, in helping with the team pressure and work ethic, link-up play.

    “I think I’ve developed myself there again and I could help the team and be important for them.

    “Let’s keep the goal for Saturday. Let’s do it that way.”

  • Rice & Kane the difference

    Sam Allardyce thinks that if Man Utd buy Harry Kane and Arsenal target Declan Rice they will win the Premier League.

    The ex-Prem boss told : “I saw Declan Rice first hand at West Ham away this season. It’s rare that you see a player who has been brought up as a centre-half evolve into a central-midfield player as well as he has.

    “He’s the all-action midfield player, he’s not just a sitting anchor man, he’s everything. H

    “e’s a passer and he’s box-to-box, and people might say he doesn’t score enough to be worth £100m, but what he can bring to the team would evolve Manchester United through the middle.

    “If Harry Kane and Declan Rice were both through the middle for United then they’d be fighting for spots one and two in the league.”

  • Granit close to Leverkusen deal

    Arsenal star Granit Xhaka is set to join Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

    And Johan Djourou thinks he will be a big miss next season, telling :”Throughout the season Granit was really strong. He was consistent, he was often involved in the decisive moments.

    “I don’t know if the Arsenal officials have already found his successor, but because of his great experience, positional play and mentality, his departure will certainly hurt.

    “He has established himself at Arsenal with a lot of professionalism. I really liked him as a player.”

  • Jesse out

    Jesse Lingard is one of 12 players that have been released by Nottingham Forest.

    The midfielder signed for the Reds on a free transfer last summer, but he was limited to just 20 appearances across all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign.

    He is now one of six senior players set to leave the City Ground on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the month.

    The other five stars include Andre Ayew, Cafu, Jack Colback, Jordan Smith and Lyle Taylor.

    Forest also confirmed that full-back Serge Aurier triggered an automatic one-year extension to his contract.

    Chris Wood, who joined the club on an initial loan deal in January, is also set to stay.

  • Ex-Gunner unemployed

    A former Arsenal star, who was once hailed as a promising young player by Arsene Wenger, has been released by Luton just days after the club’s promotion to the Premier League.

    Henri Lansbury made just 10 Championship appearances for the Hatters this season, scoring once.

    And having fallen out of favour at Kenilworth Road, he is set to leave Luton on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of this month.

    First team stars Sonny Bradley and Harry Isted have also been let go.

    Lansbury’s departure from Luton comes 11 years after his Arsenal exit.

    He has played for West Ham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
