Premier League Clubs Alerted over Paulo Dybala Availability

AS Roma attacker Paulo Dybala has been reportedly offered to several Premier League sides this summer as a bargain release clause in his contract at Stadio Olimpico becomes active. Dybala joined Roma on a free transfer from Juventus last summer and has enjoyed a successful year under Jose Mourinho. He has scored 16 goals and eight assists in 34 appearances, helping take Roma to the Europa League semi-finals. That form has alerted the top European clubs who will want to sign a player of Dybala’s quality.  According to new reports, the Argentine’s contract at Stadio Olimpico contains a handful of release clauses, making signing him easy, especially for clubs outside of Italy.  Read more: Aston Villa confident of signing Tammy Abraham despite European interest According to 90min, fellow Serie A clubs who want to sign Dybala will pay €20m, while overseas teams will pay just €12m for his services.  According to the same report, the Argentine’s representatives have been making sure clubs in the Premier League know the clause in his contract. As per the report, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all been informed about Dybala’s potential availability. Although none of the Premier League sides have dismissed the offer, there are long-standing concerns that the player is not interested in moving to the Premier League. So any efforts to sign him would ultimately prove futile even if a club activates his release clause. Meanwhile, Roma boss Mourinho recently stated that Dybala is good enough to play for ‘the biggest teams in the world’. However, he urged the Argentine to put his happiness first. “My feeling is that he was seeking joy. He had lost more than confidence,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia. “He found it here. He has found a coach who understands him, a crowd that loves him and a space on the field in which to be a leader with his quality and personality. “Dybala is a nice boy. He has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the world, but he has found joy here.”

As per the report, Madrid have direct contact with Bellingham’s entourage, and they even held discussions with the player’s father last month.  Despite their charm offensive, it is reported that the Santiago Bernabeu side does not want to meet the €150 million price tag from Dortmund and are willing to offer Brahim Diaz on loan at AC Milan as part of a potential transfer in a bid to reduce the asking price.

Liverpool are reportedly looking to make a shock move for Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips this summer. Jurgen Klopp’s side are planning a summer rebuild and are keen to add at least three midfielders to their ageing midfield.

Manchester and Chelsea battling for PSG forward Neymar

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly the clubs leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar. The PSG attacker has endured another frustrating season that has seen him miss many of his club’s games because of injury. The Brazilian is out for the season with an ankle injury he picked up in PSG’s 4-3 win over Lille in February. This has led to reports that PSG want to sell him and take his huge weekly salary out of his wage bill. Read more: AC Milan interested in Man City’s Kyle Walker The Parisian club are looking to rebuild their squad and are now prioritising younger players and French stars instead of big names.

However, that can only happen if they can finalise a sale of the club.  The Red Devils are in the midst of a takeover and will be able to sign quality players once the new owners take over. According to the report, several big names will be signed in the event of a successful sale, with Neymar on the list of wanted star players.

AC Milan interested in Man City’s Kyle Walker 

Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker at the end of the season. The English defender has been an ever-present fixture in Pep Guardiola’s side since he joined City from Tottenham for £50m in 2017.  However, in recent months,  Walker has struggled for minutes in Guardiola’s setup. The right-back started Man City’s 3-0 win against Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.  But that start was just one of the few he has made recently, with the defender, more often than not, starting from the bench. He has started just two Premier League matches in the last two months. Read more: Chelsea confident of beating Man United and PSG to Victor Osimhen’s signing despite the absence of Champions League football Guardiola prefers to use a system that doesn’t require a conventional right-back, meaning that Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Rico Lewis are ahead of Walker. According to The Telegraph, AC Milan is looking to add Walker to their squad ahead of next season. The 31-year-old has one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad, so Milan are looking to take advantage of the situation. The reigning Scudetto champions are currently outside the Serie A title race, so they are keen to bolster their squad for next season. The San Siro side views Walker as someone who can challenge right-back Davide Calabria for minutes. Should no move materialise this summer, and Walker does not renew terms with City, he would be free to negotiate with potential suitors next January.

Harry Maguire open to Serie A move amid loan interest from Italian giants

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is reportedly attracting interest from several top Italian clubs amid uncertainty over his future at Old Trafford. The Englishman has endured a nightmare season and was at fault for Sevilla’s first goal in their 3-0 win over Man United on Thursday. That loss confirmed the Red Devils’ elimination from the Europa League at the quarter-final stage.  Although he is back in the starting team in recent matches, it is only due to injuries sustained by first-choice centre-back pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. Read more: Barcelona agree on deal with Roberto Firmino Erik ten Hag does not trust Maguire and does not consider him a major part of his long-term project at the club. As such, the 30-year-old is among the at least 13 players United are looking to sell this summer as Erik Ten Hag attempts to continue his Old Trafford rebuild. According to reports by 90min, United want to sanction a permanent exit for Maguire but understands it could be difficult to recoup a substantial fee from the defender’s sale. The 30-year-old earns £190,000 a week at Old Trafford, and few clubs are willing to offer him that amount. So that leaves sanctioning a loan move also difficult. Few Premier League clubs have indicated interest, but Juventus, Milan and Inter have also indicated an interest in potential loan deals with options to buy. While such a deal wouldn’t be perfect for United in the circumstances, they may need to be flexible to create room to manoeuvre around FFP limitations and to ensure they purchase quality players in key positions.

Barcelona agree on deal with Roberto Firmino

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino will reportedly join Barcelona when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season. After eight successful years at the club, the Reds forward is out of contract at Anfield this summer. Liverpool wanted to extend his deal, but Firmino decided it was time to end his association with the club. He has offers from several clubs worldwide, including clubs from the Middle East and America’s Major League Soccer. Read more: Pep Guardiola says his players are exhausted after Man City reach third straight Champions League semi-final However, according to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian has opted to switch to Barcelona when he calls it quits at Liverpool this summer.  The Catalan side are looking for an extra striker to reduce the burden on number 9 Robert Lewandowski and have identified Bobby as the perfect option. The fact that the 31-year-old Brazilian will join for free makes it a low-risk option, especially as Barcelona is struggling financially. The Catalan club are expected to sell some players to be able to sign new ones, so they are prioritizing players on the bossman list, with Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan and Paris Saint-Germain forward and legendary player Lionel Messi.  Firmino joined Liverpool in 2015 from Hoffenheim shortly before Jurgen Klopp became the club’s manager. After struggling early in his Liverpool career while playing as a winger under Brendan Rodgers, the Brazilian came alive when Klopp began playing him as a false nine. He was part of the famed front-three alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah that led Liverpool to Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup titles.
