Man City's Kevin De Bruyne 'holds talks with future MLS team'
Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly held initial talks with new MLS side San Diego FC over a possible transfer in 2025.
The 32-year-old continues to be an essential part of the Man City juggernaut which has dominated the Premier League in recent times under the expert leadership of Pep Guardiola.
De Bruyne played the full 90 minutes on Sunday afternoon, when the Citizens beat West Ham United 3-1 to secure a fourth straight Premier League title.
Despite injury issues this season, the former Wolfsburg playmaker has managed to post impressive numbers in the league, scoring four times and providing 10 assists.
Arsenal 'plotting summer move for Eredivisie goalkeeper'
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow as a second-choice stopper.
The 26-year-old has struggled with a multitude of fitness issues this season but has managed to retain spot in between the sticks for the Pride of the South when available.
Bijlow has made a total of 17 Eredivisie appearances for Feyenoord this campaign, keeping six clean sheets and helping Arne Slot's troops to second place, finishing seven points behind Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.
The keeper also possesses relative international pedigree, having earned eight caps for the Netherlands since making his international debut in October 2020.
Man City 'name modest asking price for 29-year-old midfielder'
Manchester City are reportedly prepared to sell midfielder Bernardo Silva for £50m this summer.
The 29-year-old has once again been a key cog in the Man City machine this season, helping the club to a record-breaking fourth straight Premier League crown.
Silva provided two assists on Sunday afternoon, when Pep Guardiola's side breezed past West Ham United at the Etihad to condemn Arsenal to a second-placed finish.
Since making the high-profile switch from French outfit Monaco during the summer of 2017, the attacker has played 354 times for Man City, scoring on 67 occasions.
Ronaldo 'pushing for Al-Nassr to sign Man Utd star'
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly attempting to engineer a move to Al-Nassr for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes during this summer's transfer window.
Fernandes's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with a number of clubs, including Bayern Munich, believed to be keen to sign him during the upcoming market.
There has also been suggestions of interest from the Saudi Pro League, with the division capable of such a move due to their huge financial power.
According to the Daily Star, Al-Nassr forward Ronaldo is pushing for Fernandes to make the move to his club during the upcoming market.
Premier League trio 'make contact over move for 20-year-old centre-back'
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have all reportedly been in touch over a possible move for Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva during this summer's transfer window.
The 20-year-old, who has been named in the Portugal squad for Euro 2024, is regarded as one of the best young defenders in European football.
Silva has already made 94 appearances for Benfica in all competitions, scoring seven times, and he has a contract with the Portuguese giants until the summer of 2027.
There is a €100m (£85.1m) release clause in his current deal, though, and a number of the biggest clubs in European football are said to be keeping a close eye on his development.
Arne Slot 'eyeing reunion with former Feyenoord captain at Liverpool'
Newly-appointed Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is supposedly keen to reunite with one of his former Feyenoord captains at Anfield next season.
On Monday evening, the Reds officially confirmed Slot's arrival on a reported three-year deal, as Jurgen Klopp vacates the reins after a nine-year spell in the Anfield hotseat.
Slot will begin work on Merseyside on July 1, but with the summer transfer window opening two weeks before the Dutchman starts his new job, targets are already being drawn up.
Reinforcements in defence are expected to be a priority for Liverpool ahead of the 2023-24 season, especially after Klopp and former sporting director Jorg Schmadtke oversaw last summer's midfield rebuild.
Agent of 20-year-old striker confirms Chelsea interest
The agent of Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has confirmed that Chelsea are interested in signing his client during this summer's transfer window.
The 20-year-old's future is currently the subject of speculation, with Chelsea said to be keen on bringing him to Stamford Bridge for the 2024-25 campaign.
Duran has scored eight times in 37 appearances for Villa this season, including five goals in 23 Premier League outings, famously hitting a brace against Liverpool in the team's penultimate match of the campaign.
There had been suggestions that Chelsea's decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino could lead to them dropping their interest in the striker.
Jadon Sancho drops hint over Manchester United future?
Jadon Sancho has allegedly purchased a £3.8m mansion in Greater Manchester, with the forward seemingly preparing to be back with Manchester United next season.
The 24-year-old returned to Borussia Dortmund on loan in January, and he is currently preparing to represent the German outfit in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Sancho's loan deal in Dortmund will expire this summer, though, and as it stands, he will be heading back to the 20-time English champions for the 2024-25 campaign.
BVB are keen on a permanent return for the Englishman, but Man United are believed to be asking for as much as £50m, which could potentially price the Bundesliga side out of a deal.
Agent of 25-year-old hints at high-profile Real Madrid move
Kylian Mbappe's agent and mother has hinted that the France international will be joining Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
The 25-year-old's departure from Paris Saint-Germain has already been confirmed, with his contract in the French capital due to officially expire at the end of next month.
There has not yet been an announcement over his next move, but Real Madrid appear to have won the race for his signature.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are expected to confirm a deal in the early stages of next month, once they have taken on Borussia Dortmund in the final of the Champions League.
Man Utd 'told to pay £80m for leading centre-back target'
Manchester United have reportedly been informed that they will have to come up with an offer of £80m in order to sign Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old, who has been named in England's preliminary squad for Euro 2024, enjoyed an impressive 2023-24 campaign for his Merseyside club.
Branthwaite made 41 appearances in all competitions for Sean Dyche's side, including 35 outings in the Premier League, and he helped the Toffees win five of their final eight league games of the season.
There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the Englishman's future, with a number of clubs believed to be admirers of the defender.
