FEATURED GOSSIP
– Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are among the teams showing interest in acquiring Al Hilal forward Darwin Núñez, should the erstwhile Liverpool striker become available, as reported by TEAMtalk. The 26-year-old has been omitted from the Saudi club’s league and cup lineups due to stringent foreign-player limits following Karim Benzema’s arrival. Atlético Madrid and Juventus have also long admired the Uruguay international and would both contemplate a transfer if the chance arose and the financial aspects were feasible for them.
– Should Julián Álvarez exit Atlético this summer, the attacker will place a higher priority on a relocation to Barcelona over Liverpool or Arsenal, states Football Insider. Confidential sources have informed ESPN that Arsenal are investigating the potential of initiating a summer bid for Álvarez, as Gunners’ sporting director Andrea Berta managed the Argentina international’s €95 million transfer from Manchester City in August 2024. However, it seems the player holds alternative preferences for a future club.
– Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund are all keen on Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Mateus Mané, according to TEAMtalk. They join a multitude of Premier League clubs monitoring the 18-year-old, as Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Everton have all been keeping close tabs on his progress. Mane is content with how his circumstances with Wolves have evolved recently and is not eager to leave the club, though the prospect of joining a top-tier team could appeal to him, particularly if his current team faces relegation.
– Barcelona has a fondness for Levante attacker Karl Etta Eyong and is monitoring his situation, Fabrizio Romano reveals. They will encounter considerable rivalry for the 22-year-old, with Fulham tracking his status, while Levante previously received a substantial €30 million offer from CSKA Moscow in the last transfer window, which they were prepared to accept until Etta Eyong declared his unwillingness to move.
– Internazionale intends to activate the clause to make Man City defender Manuel Akanji‘s loan agreement permanent for €15 million, according to Nicolo Schira. Inter has already agreed to personal terms on a contract valued at €3.75 million annually and set to run until 2028, with an option for an additional year. Inter has an obligation to finalize the deal if they secure the league title, yet they will sign the 27-year-old even if that condition isn’t met.
