TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool are looking for an alternative to Diogo Jota or Darwin Núñez up front, says Sky Sports, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko on their radar. At around £70m, both Osimhen and Sesko would come cheaper than a potential move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, whose transfer could cost upwards of £130m. Arsenal, Juventus, PSG and Manchester United all reportedly have interest in Osimhen and Sesko as well, so there could be a host of teams battling it out for them in the summer.

– Meanwhile, Liverpool are also planning a double-swoop for AFC Bournemouth pair Milos Kerkez and Antoine Semenyo, according to Relevo. Hungary international Kerkez has emerged as one of the best young left-backs in the world under the guidance of Cherries boss Andoni Iraola, and was ranked 21st in ESPN’s best players in the world aged 21 and under last week. Semenyo, meanwhile, has caught the eye with 15 goal contributions across all competitions this term.

– Chelsea will decide what to do with winger Jadon Sancho in May, according to Fabrizio Romano. Sancho, 25, has a clause in his loan deal from Manchester United that obliges the Blues to sign him permanently for £25m, though they can pay £5m to send him back to London. He has two goals and five assists from 25 games in the Premier League this season.

– It will take an offer of around €60m for Eintracht Frankfurt to even consider letting Hugo Larsson leave, with Manchester City looking at the midfielder, according to Football Insider. This comes with the 20-year-old having a contract that runs until 2029, while City have already spent €70m to sign Omar Marmoush from the Bundesliga club in January.

– Ansu Fati is disappointed about his situation at Barcelona and wants to leave the club in the summer transfer window, says Mundo Deportivo, with the forward having played just 187 minutes across all competitions this season. Several clubs are interested in signing the 22-year-old with Ajax Amsterdam, Borussia Dortmund, FC Porto and Besiktas all having looked at him in January.
