TRENDING RUMORS
– Al Nassr are in advanced talks with Manchester United to sign Casemiro. The 33-year-old has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils would like to get his £350,000-a-week salary off their wage bill. The Brazil international has struggled for form since moving to the Premier League in 2022. Should the move materialize, Casemiro would be reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo, who he has played with at both Real Madrid and Man United. (Record)
– Juventus are in talks with Manchester United over a deal for Jadon Sancho, and could offer striker Dusan Vlahovic as part of the deal, Gazzetta dello Sport reports. Sancho, 25, is said to be receptive to the move, and sees Juve as a prestigious club. The winger would be prepared to take a cut in salary for a significant role in the squad. Vlahovic, meanwhile, is about to enter the final year of his contract and has rejected offers from Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Man United would be able to offer the Serbia international the kind of wage he is looking for, but not European football. Gazzetta also suggests Man United could ask about central midfielder Douglas Luiz, who is available for transfer after failing to impress after a €50m transfer from Aston Villa last summer. However, Turkish outlet Sabah Spor reports Sancho has agreed to join Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce for €15m on a contract worth £8.5m per year.

– Arsenal are interested in Chelsea and England international winger Noni Madueke, reports the Independent. The Gunners have reportedly discussed a swoop for the 23-year-old after struggling to make a breakthrough in talks for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, and the Blues would be open to parting ways with Madueke if they receive an offer worth £50 million. Madueke directly contributed to 10 goals in 32 Premier League matches last season.
– Arsenal remain interested in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, according to the Mirror. The 29-year-old is reportedly “still in the mix” as manager Mikel Arteta looks to land a No. 9, with Watkins, whom they made an approach for in January, seen as an alternative to RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko. The Gunners are said to also be monitoring potential center back signings, having looked at Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, 19, and 24-year-old Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, who will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the month.
– Newcastle have seen their first approach for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga dismissed, reports The Athletic. The Magpies are believed to have made a £45m proposal to sign the 23-year-old, but the City Ground hierarchy reportedly would only be prepared to part ways with him if they receive an offer worth over £50m. Manager Eddie Howe sees Elanga as an ideal fit for his system due to his versatility, and it is expected that the Premier League club will take time to weigh up whether to make a fresh approach or move on to other options.
