Juventus have entered the race for the signature of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere as the England man continues to negotiate with the Gunners. Wilshere is into the final 5 months of his current Arsenal contract, but the Gunners are offering him a reduced wage on the new deal they are offering. They argue that his injury history means they cannot guarantee him a higher wage. The England midfielder has also been linked with a move to Liverpool with the Reds offering to pay him an increase on his current wage and other bonuses. Wilshere has repeatedly declared his intention to remain a Gunner however, it is unclear if he would accept the Gunner’s revised contract this time. He has, however, made it clear in the past that he is not interested in a move away from the Premier League. Liverpool’s Emre Can is also on the Italians’ radar and they are reported to have reached an agreement with the German about a move in the summer. Wilshere has battled back from his injury nightmare to become one of Arsene Wenger’s most important player this season.

Manchester United have been targeting a sensational move for their former number 7, Christiano Ronaldo. Reports have even claimed that the player’s current struggles at the Bernabeu mean he would join them next summer. However, the move is far more complicated than that and it appears more unlikely at the moment. According to reports in the Spanish media, Ronaldo will never play for the Red Devils as long as Jose Mourinho remains the manager. The Portuguese star fell out with the Manchester United manager when he played under him at Real Madrid. Mourinho managed him from 2010 to 2013. Their relationship was good at the beginning but it deteriorated by the time Mourinho left to take charge of Chelsea in the 2013/2014 season. PSG wanted to make Mourinho their next manager, and Ronaldo was hoping Mourinho would join the French champions after this season. However, Mourinho has since extended his deal with the Old Trafford outfit until 2020. Ronaldo is now set to join either PSG or move to the Chinese Super League. After signing Alexis Sanchez last month, the Red Devils may not want to make a huge signing next summer, but if Gareth Bale becomes available, they would move for him.

Manchester City have been renewing the contracts of their players since the start of this season, and as they close in on a new league title, they are set to offer another player fresh terms. The Cityzens are looking to tie down Ederson to a new long-term contract as the Brazilian has impressed in the short time he has spent at the Etihad. Ederson signed from Benfica 7 months ago after Claudio Bravo failed to make the number one spot his own last season. He has inspired them to within few games of winning yet another Premier League title. Manchester City are currently still gunning for quadruple this season after they made it to the Carabao Cup Final, Champions League round of 16, FA 5th Round and top of the Premier League. Ederson has kept one of the highest number of clean sheets this season and looks a more assured presence than Bravo. City have renewed the deals of Fernandinho, Kevin de Bryne, Nicolas Otamendi, Gabriel Jesus and they are hoping to extend their manager’s contract soon also. Ederson currently earns £70,000 per week, but he could double his current earning his new deal.

Jose Mourinho is targeting Tottenham defender Toby Aderweireld as the Belgian continues to negotiate a new deal with the Lilywhites. The former Atletico Madrid man has been in outstanding form since he joined them from the Spanish side and has become their most important defensive partner to Jan Vetoghen. However, his future is unclear as he has just 18 months left on his current deal and he is looking to get a new contract that will see him become one of the club’s highest earners. Tottenham do not agree with what he is demanding and they could be set to allow him to leave. Jose Mourinho is looking to replace the duo of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling after their shambolic performances this season. Smalling was at fault for the free kick that Newcastle converted to win the Red Devils and Jones scored an own goal in their match against Tottenham. The Portuguese manager knows he cannot win the Premier League with a bad defence and he is looking to focus his summer spending on that area of the field. Aderwelreid’s has a provision in his contract that would make him cost only £25 million at the end of this season.

Manchester United are looking for two new defenders after Jose Mourinho declared that he has given up on the centre back pair of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones. The Eglish duo have been dismal recently and the Portuguese manager does not see them as the defenders that could lead them to the Premier League title. Jones scored an own goal in their 2-0 loss to Tottenham, while Chris Smalling conceded the free kick that led to Newcastle scoring in their 1-0 loss to the Magpies last weekend. These performances have forced him to ask the club’s board to get some new defenders. Mourinho has signed two defenders since he took over at Old Trafford, but Victor Lindelof is also mistake-prone while Eric Bailey is injury-prone. The former Chelsea boss has previously complained of his club’s lack of investment in the transfer market. He compared them to Manchester City who have been signing defenders for fees that are higher than strikers. Liverpool signed Virgil van Dijk for £75 million, and the Portuguese manager believes they should be spending that much on defenders if they want to win trophies too.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are battling for the signature of Hamburg’s youngster, Josha Vagnoman. The 17 years old starred for Germany at the last U-17 world as they reached the quarterfinals only to be eliminated by Brazil. He has been starring for Hamburg’s  youth side for a while now and several Premier League scouts who have watched him only have good things to say about him. Hamburg wanted him to play in their last game against Borussia Dortmund, but they could not field him as he has not signed professional forms with them yet. This has prompted several Premier League sides to take an interest in him. Arsenal are known for helping youngsters develop into some of the world’s best professionals and they have been selling their reputation to the youngster and his family with hopes that he would make the move to north London. Chelsea have one of the best youth teams in the world, and although it usually difficult for them to break into the first team, they usually earn higher than some professionals in other leagues. Manchester City have one of the best academy facilities in the world and Pep Guardiola is hoping that would convince Vagnoman to sign for them.

Liverpool and Arsenal are set to continue their fight for the same transfer targets with a move for Stoke City’s Jack Butland. The Premier League duo were both fighting for the signature of Thomas Lemar last summer, with the Gunners countering Liverpool’s £75 million bid with a £90 million offer for the teenager. However, both of them failed to sign the French man as he decided to remain in the Ligue 1 for one more season. Liverpool have since abandoned their move for Lemar, leaving the door open for Arsenal to land him for a reasonable price. Reports this morning is claiming that the Premier League duos are also battling for the signature of Jack Butland after he told the Potters that he wants to play in a top club. Butland has been a target of Chelsea in the past, but he is reportedly keener to move to Anfield. Arsene Wenger however, believes he can convince the English man to move to London instead. Wenger believes Butland has the potential to become the long-term replacement of Petr Cech who has been dismal this season. Jurgen Klopp also sees Butland as a good addition to his squad as they prepare to sell Simon Mignolet next summer.

The race for the signature of Leon Bailey is hitting up by the day as he continues his stunning season. The Jamaican has been one of the most outstanding Bayer Leverkusen players this season, and his form has led them to the brink of returning to the Champions League. He has been a long-term target of Chelsea and the Blues reportedly bided £26 million for his signature in last month’s transfer window. Bayer believes he is worth more and the Blues are prepared to go back for him in the next transfer window. Reports from Daily Star is claiming that Liverpool have entered the fray for his signature as they continue to search for more attacking players. The Reds lost Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge last month, and they know they would need more squad depth if they want to challenge for trophies next season. Klopp is looking to use his German connection to land him, but he would not come to Anfield on a cheap deal. Manchester United are also looking to sign him on as Jose Mourinho still hasn’t signed a new winger that he craved for most of last summer’s transfer window.

Real Madrid are set to make a move for Chelsea’s number one, Thibaut Courtois. Los Merenges have been in the market for a new number one over the past two transfer windows, and their focus has always been on the Premier League duo of David de Gea and Thibaut Courtois. However, they have found it extremely difficult to convince Chelsea and Manchester United to sell. But they are now prepared to get one of them at all cost. Acccording to Talk Sport,  they believe signing David de Gea would be too complicated for them so they have decided to get Courtois at all cost. The Belgian is also looking for a move to the Spanish capital after repeatedly admitting that he would love to play closer to his family who stay there. He has refused to sign a new Chelsea deal so far, preferring to wait until the summer. However, most of the club’s fans believe it is a deliberate effort to allow Real Madrid make a move for him. The Blues do not need to sell, but if he decides to force his move away from Stamford Bridge they would have no choice but to allow him leave.
