Man City initiate contact to sign £75m ace for Pep with club open to sale

Manchester City have made opening contact to sign a £75 million ace with his club open to a sale, according to a recent report.

Man City’s summer transfer plans

The Blues spent very heavily during the January transfer window, but unfortunately for Pep Guardiola, it hasn’t done much to get City back on track. The 2024/25 campaign has been a season to forget for the club, and it is likely to mean that it could be a very busy summer in terms of incomings and outgoings.

Their best signing since Haaland: Man City eyeing up "flawless" £100m star

Man City are looking to overhaul their midfield

Kevin de Bruyne looks to be coming to the end of his time at the Etihad, as it’s been reported for some time now that he is in talks with MLS side San Diego over a move at the end of the season when his contract expires.

As well as the Belgian, Man City have cleared the way for Mateo Kovacic to leave the club , whereas the Blues also are ready to let Jack Grealish leave in the summer.

In terms of arrivals, it’s been reported that the Blues are ready to make an offer to sign Desire Doue from Paris Saint-Germain. Guardiola wants top-level reinforcements and has his eyes on Doue, as he believes the Frenchman would fit into his team very well, but PSG are not interested in selling a player they believe will become one of their star players.

Man City initiate contact to sign £76m star for Pep

While Guardiola pushes the Premier League champions to sign Doue, he is not their only attacking option heading into the summer. According to TEAMtalk, Man City have made contact in a bid to sign Kenan Yildiz from Juventus.

The report claims that since the Turin side was knocked out of the Champions League, numerous top clubs have made it known they are keen on signing the winger, and City are believed to be one of those sides. As well as the Blues, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are also very interested in signing Yildiz.

None of the interested teams are in advanced talks over signing the Turkey international, but all the Premier League teams mentioned have gathered information on the player after making initial contact.

The 19-year-old is considered an important player for Juventus but has found himself in and out of the starting XI in recent weeks, and it is now claimed that Juve would be open to a sale at €90 million (£75.3 million).

Yildiz’s potential arrival at the Etihad could see him come up against the likes of Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden, Savinho, Oscar Bobb and Grealish for a starting spot out wide. However, with Grealish possibly on the way out, Yildiz could be seen as a long-term replacement for the Englishman.

Alexander-Arnold was unveiled on ThursdayPerez welcomed the full-back with open armsWill make his debut in the upcoming CWCFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

During the official unveiling, Real president Perez addressed the gathered audience and took a moment to share words of encouragement and insight with the new signing. The Blancos chief highlighted what truly sets Real Madrid apart from other clubs, noting that, beyond world-class ability, players who succeed at the Bernabeu are also Madridistas at heart.

AdvertisementWHAT FLORENTINO PEREZ SAID

Alexander-Arnold will team up with close friend Jude Bellingham at the Spanish capital, and taking that cue, Perez said: "At Real Madrid, you will find teammates who form a great family, some of them good friends of yours, like our dear Jude Bellingham. And I want you to know that the defining trait of Real Madrid is that, in addition to being great players, they are all true Madridistas. You will quickly understand what Real Madrid is. Every title is a boost to try again."

AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Addressing the media for the first time in his new colours, Alexander-Arnold conveyed his joy and eagerness to begin this next stage of his career in fluent Spanish, which won over Madridistas across the globe.

“Thank you all for this opportunity,” he began. "Signing for Madrid doesn't happen every day. It's a dream come true. I'm really looking forward to showing my game to the Real Madrid fans. I'm aware of the responsibility that comes with playing here. I'm going to give it my all to show off my game and win lots of titles. Thank you very much, and hala Madrid!"

DID YOU KNOW?

With his exceptional passing range, set-piece threat and attacking instincts, Alexander-Arnold’s style of play is expected to align well with Real Madrid’s high-octane football. Fans are eager to see how he adapts to La Liga and whether he can replicate the influence he had in the Premier League under a new tactical framework set up by Xabi Alonso.

"Very, very exciting for me. A day that I have been waiting for a long time now. Very excited, very happy, very proud to be here," he said. "It's a dream to be here but there is still a lot of hard work to do and I'm excited to get started straight away. It's an exciting time for me."

Rangers can sign £11m+ star for half price with 49ers aware of transfer

da heads bet: Rangers can sign a star player for just over £5m in the coming months, and prospective new owners the 49ers are aware of a deal.

49ers plans for Rangers after agreeing a deal in principle

da dobrowin: It promises to be a busy few months both on and off the pitch at Ibrox, with interim manager Barry Ferguson looking to take Rangers to the Europa League final in Bilbao.

Ferguson, who has already got the better of Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, will soon turn his attention to a quarter-final with Athletic Club.

The Scot appears to be impressing in caretaker charge and also guided Rangers to a 3-2 win at Celtic prior to the international break. Ferguson is keen on taking the Rangers job on a permanent basis, according to his older brother Derek, whereas Lee McCulloch has also backed the ex-midfielder to get the role on a permanent basis.

Meanwhile, the 49ers Enterprises have agreed a deal in principle to take over in Glasgow and are hopeful all the relative paperwork will be completed ahead of the 2025/26 season.

A concern for the Gers…

ByTom Cunningham Mar 25, 2025

Reports have suggested that the 49ers may back with a £20-25million budget this summer, once a takeover is completed.

One of their first player moves could be to make Vaclav Cerny’s loan into a permanent transfer. Recent reports claimed that a full-time deal could cost around £8m, however, a new update from reliable journalist Keith Jackson has stated it could be less than that.

Rangers can sign Cerny for half price £5.5m with deadline set

As per a story for The Daily Record, Jackson revealed that Rangers have the chance to sign Cerny for just £5.5m from Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg. The option was included in the loan deal that brought Cerny to Ibrox, and Rangers have a deadline until before the end of May.

Vaclav Cerny

The 49ers are aware of the urgency around Cerny’s contractual situation, with the winger attracting interest around Europe as a result of his impressive performances in Scotland.

Should Rangers not sign the 27-year-old for £5.5m, it is expected that Cerny’s ‘price tag could more than double’ to £11m+. It looks as if a £5.5m deal is a no-brainer for everyone involved at Ibrox, and it appears as if Cerny himself is also keen on a transfer.

Asked if he wants to stay in Scotland with Rangers, Cerny said: “I definitely do. But there are so many aspects that I can’t control. All I can do is be the best I can and keep up my form and numbers.”

Tottenham interested in signing relentless midfielder who Messi "loves"

Tottenham Hotspur are now closely monitoring a midfielder who Lionel Messi “loves”, but there could be competition for his signature from some of the Premier League’s top clubs, according to a report.

Spurs could need summer rebuild after another Premier League defeat

Ange Postecoglou managed to stave off some pressure by leading his side to a 3-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar last week, booking a place in the Europa League quarter-finals, but the manager was brought right back down to earth on Sunday afternoon.

Tottenham succumbed to a 2-0 defeat away at Fulham to remain 14th in the Premier League table, having now gone three games without a win, and the poor performances across the campaign indicate a major shake-up could be needed this summer.

Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is one of the latest players to be linked with a switch to north London, with Spurs set to make a £30m bid for the Algerian, while Postecoglou is also keen to convince Lille midfielder Angel Gomes to join.

ByEmilio Galantini Mar 14, 2025

Signing a new central midfielder is seemingly high up Postecoglou’s list of priorities, as a report from The Boot Room has revealed the Lilywhites are also closely monitoring Inter Miami’s Benjamin Cremaschi,

Tottenham are not the only big club interested in Cremaschi, however, with Manchester City and Newcastle United also tracking his performances, alongside Brighton & Hove Albion, and they are likely to be impressed with what they’ve seen, given that Messi is believed to be a big fan.

Inter Miami's Lionel Messi celebrates scoring their second goal with Santiago Morales and BenjaminCremaschi

Last April, MLS expert Matt Doyle said: “I didn’t necessarily see it with Cremaschi last year, he’s a nice player but it felt like I was missing something.

“Then he comes right into the team after finally getting fit, and you can see he’s making all the little connective-tissue plays around the box that make you go ‘oh yeah, this is what Tata is seeing, this is what Messi’s seeing,’ Messi apparently loves the kid.”

Cremaschi impressing in the MLS

The American has earned a call-up to his national side after first impressing former manager Gregg Berhalter, who said: “So we had Benja in camp in October prior to the World Cup, he was with the U-20 group and he immediately caught my eye for his just tenacity, and his relentlessness.”

The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for Inter Miami, having already chalked up 75 appearances for the MLS side, during which time he has showcased his attacking threat by picking up seven goals and seven assists.

Of course, it would be a big step-up for Cremaschi to sign for one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs, but an endorsement from one of the greatest players of all-time is always a good sign, so it is exciting news that Tottenham are now in the race for his signature.

Frimpong has impressed in the BundesligaReds closing in on €35m transferTrent Alexander-Arnold close to Real Madrid moveFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Frimpong has indicated he would be keen on joining Liverpool if the Premier League title winners make a move to sign him during the summer transfer window. The Reds are already said to be in 'advanced talks' for a deal worth around €35m and the Daily Mail claim the 24-year-old would like to relocate to Merseyside if the opportunity arrises.

AdvertisementAFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Following the news of Alexander-Arnold's departure at the end of his contract, the Reds have been scouring the market for a potential replacement. Conor Bradley is already an option for manager Slot, but the arrival of Frimpong would add a goalscoring threat from right-back. The Netherlands international thrived under Xabi Alonso last season as Leverkusen claimed the title, scoring 14 goals and supplying ten assists in all competitions.

DID YOU KNOW?

While Frimpong looks to have emerged as Liverpool's top target to replace Alexander-Arnold, there are other suggested options. The Mail's report also names RB Leipzig's Lutsharel Geertruida, who played under Slot at Feyenoord, as another candidate to arrive at Anfield this summer.

Liverpool have two more Premier League fixtures to take part in before their title celebrations can truly kick into gear. They take on Brighton on Monday before finally getting their hands on the trophy at Anfield against Crystal Palace on the final weekend of the season.

Two many Cooks for Kent as Essex take control

Essex 106 for 0 (A Cook 64*, Browne 31*) trail Kent 207 (Compton 47, S Cook 3-19) by 101 runsSir Alastair Cook notched the 123rd half-century of his bejewelled career as he steered Essex into a commanding position on the first day of their LV= Insurance County Championship match against Kent.Cook, still there at the close on 64, was joined in an unbeaten first-wicket stand of 106 by Nick Browne, who was painstakingly attempting to rebuild his flagging form after a run of three successive ducks. He was on the path to redempton with 31 from 117 balls.Earlier, Kent elected to bat on a green-tinged pitch under heavy grey clouds that required the use of floodlights after an hour. Their innings lasted just short of two sessions for 207 as the lower-order threw away their wickets with some abandon.Only a sedate 58-run fourth-wicket partnership between Ben Compton, who recorded an 81-ball 47, and captain Jack Leaning interrupted a regular clatter of wickets with nagging seamers Sam Cook and Jamie Porter sharing six of them equally.Twanda Muyeye survived a decent chance to Matt Critchley at third slip before he was beaten for pace to present Sam Cook with the first of three wickets for 19 in 11 overs.Next ball Joe Denly’s miserable season continued when he played down the wrong line and was caught behind for his fourth duck of this campaign.To compound Kent’s problems, Harry Finch faced 15 deliveries without scoring when he set off for a non-existent single to gully where Paul Walter swooped and hit the single stump he could see.Compton and Leaning settled in for a stand that needed 17 overs to put on fifty, and that despite Compton hitting Doug Bracewell for three successive boundaries, two through the covers, the other a flick off his legs.However, to the last ball before lunch Compton attempted to dig out a fuller delivery from Simon Harmer and only succeeded in chipping the ball back tamely to the bowler.Leaning followed soon after the break when he got a thick edge to one from Sam Cook that went away from him and wicketkeeper Adam Rossington took a fine diving catch to his right. Joey Evison went shouldering arms to one that came back late from Bracewell.Grant Stewart smashed Harmer for two straight sixes in a brisk, seven-over stand of 43 with Jordan Cox before Porter found a peach of a ball to remove Cox.Porter then set a short-ball honey-trap for Stewart who hooked straight to one of an army on the boundary, and two balls later Matt Quinn skied rashly to midwicket. Arshdeep Singh swept Critchley for a huge six and wafted lazily at the next ball and was stumped without bothering to look back.When Essex replied in the evening session, Alastair Cook slipped into imperious mode after a watchful start, showing an array of shots around the wicket in depositing Stewart for three successive fours, though he was put down off the same bowler to a sharp chance in the gully.Of the fifty partnership in 17 overs, hecontributed 38 with Browne playing second fiddle with a dozen; of the century partnership Browne had 27 and Cook 63, passing fifty for the fifth time this season when he swept Hamid Qadri for his 10th boundary.Essex, incidentally, will be reinforced with the inclusion of Dan Lawrence in their batting line-up on day two as he returns south after being the spare man in the England XII for the concurrent fourth Test at Old Trafford. He will replace Robin Das.

Liverpool hold talks to sign "fantastic" star loved by Jordan Henderson

da pinup bet: Liverpool have been the team to watch in the transfer window so far and could now look to strike for a star who has previously been labelled “fantastic” by Jordan Henderson, according to reports.

Liverpool march on in the transfer window

da aviator aposta: Exciting times are on the horizon at Anfield and Jeremie Frimpong is set to be joined by Milos Kerkez at Liverpool as the latter edges closer to signing on the dotted line for a move to Merseyside, as per David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano.

AFC Bournemouth's MilosKerkez

Florian Wirtz is also signing for Liverpool for a record fee, creating a triple-axis of exciting transfers that have placed Arne Slot and his side in a great position to retain their Premier League title.

Incredibly, The Reds are said to be plotting a blockbuster bid for Newcastle star Alexander Isak in a deal that could be worth £100 million and add-ons, exceeding any fee paid for Wirtz.

Nevertheless, that is likely to be contingent on whether Darwin Nunez leaves the club, albeit there is plenty to marvel about regarding Liverpool’s commitment to conducting smart business.

There is plenty of speculation surrounding the reigning champions, and nobody is expecting that to slow down anytime soon. The dust has now settled on their title victory, and hard work is well underway ahead of another campaign fraught with excitement.

Now, there is another name on their radar that could stir up headlines across Europe if Liverpool are able to push a deal over the line.

Liverpool hold talks over move for Jorrel Hato

According to journalist Duncan Castles on the Transfers Podcast, Liverpool are in talks to sign Ajax defender Jorrel Hato and could face competition from Arsenal and Chelsea for the versatile Netherlands international.

He stated: “There have been direct conversations between Liverpool and Hato over joining the Premier League champions this summer, and those talks are taking place with the knowledge of Ajax, who are open to selling the player.”

Later, he added: “Now we have a situation where Liverpool are looking at the player, with Arsenal and Chelsea also seriously interested in him.”

Labelled “fantastic” by former teammate Jordan Henderson, Hato registered three goals and six assists across 50 appearances in all competitions last campaign, and can play left-back or centre-back.

Intriguingly, this news comes as Atletico Madrid begin to step up their interest in Liverpool’s Andy Robertson, potentially offering a clue into who his replacement will be alongside Kerkez.

As talks continue, Reds supporters will hope they come to a satisfactory conclusion as the club look to stock up with elite arrivals ahead of the new campaign.

Wolves battling to sign "fabulous" versatile star who is available for £21m

Wolverhampton Wanderers have turned their attention towards the summer window and now have a versatile star on their radar that could be available for a modest fee, according to a report.

Wolverhampton Wanderers enter life without Matheus Cunha

Vitor Pereira deserves immense credit for preserving Wolves’ top-flight status since arriving at Molineux. However, the 56-year-old will be the first to admit that their successful survival mission wouldn’t have been possible without Matheus Cunha.

The Brazil international netted 15 goals in 33 Premier League appearances, all from open play, which will heighten the importance of finding a replacement for the classy forward amid his £62.5 million move to Manchester United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers'MatheusCunhacelebrates

In the midst of their hunt for reinforcements, Wolves are considering bringing former Al Shabab sporting director Domenico Teti to Molineux as part of a shake-up in their recruitment department.

Matt Hobbs has left the club and talks are underway to secure the 48-year-old as their new technical director. He has also occupied roles at Verona, Sampdoria, Lugano and Apoel Nicosia and would arrive with a vast knowledge of European and Asian markets.

Old Gold full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri appears set for a move to Manchester City, leading Wolves to pursue Brondby youngster Clement Bischoff as a direct successor due to his versatility across the left flank.

Despite avoiding the drop, the summer window will be one of change for Pereira’s men. Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss is also on their radar; nevertheless, it remains to be seen how the landscape lies when it comes to new faces in the West Midlands.

Now, another exciting figure who could help replace Cunha’s end product has come to the attention of the Wolves hierarchy, per recent reports.

Wolves battling to sign Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche

According to reports in Spain via Sport Witness, Wolves are in a three-way battle to sign Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche, who can also feature as a second striker or centre-forward.

Leeds United and Brentford are also keen on the Nigeria international – he has a release clause in his current deal at the La Liga side that can be triggered for £21 million this summer.

Dubbed “fabulous” by boss Jose Bordelas, the 22-year-old registered four goals and seven assists in 38 appearances across all competitions this term.

Earning international recognition for the first time this year, Uche is clearly a rising star and has previously been tracked by Chelsea due to his progress.

Cunha’s departure may mean that more than one solution is required to replicate his influence at Molinuex, but Wolves supporters can take solace from the fact that they are already scoping out the market for quality reinforcements.

Assim, as deficiências técnicas do plantel corintiano contribuem também para equívocos coletivos. Essas falhas prejudicam a criatividade para levar a bola ao setor ofensivo e no repertório ofensivo da equipe que é praticamente nulo. Tanto que as chances geradas contra o Flamengo foram na base dos chutes de fora da área, e quando o time precisou buscar o jogo, pois perdia, encontrou o empate na base do abafa, conseguindo um pênalti por conta de uma bola interceptada com o braço pelo zagueiro Léo Pereira após finalização de Fábio Santos, que foi quem também converteu a penalidade.

Em alguns casos, a parte física explica a queda de rendimento, casos como de Fagner, Gil e até mesmo Fábio Santos, que, embora tenha feito uma boa partida contra os cariocas, vem de uma sequência de falhas muito por conta da ausência de vigor físico. Giuliano, Maycon e até mesmo Renato Augusto parecem fora de sintonia em alguns momentos. O erro dos dois primeiros, inclusive, gerou a condição para Gerson marcar para o Flamengo.

Entre os mais jovens, Wesley é quem mais erra quase tudo o que tenta. Ao contrário, o Timão estaria muito melhor, pois a habilidade do garoto é inegável. Mas até mesmo Gabriel Moscardo também cometeu alguns vacilos dando toque a mais na bola e falhando na distribuição de jogo que era quase impecável nos primeiros jogos que ele fez como profissional.
