Tottenham are on the verge of signing Manchester City winger Savinho.

Following consecutive 17th-placed finishes, the North London club is prepared to heavily back newly appointed manager Roberto De Zerbi in the transfer market, aiming to completely rebuild an underperforming frontline.

The 22-year-old Brazilian international has emerged as the club’s absolute priority for the summer window and as per Fabrizio Romano, the deal is near completion.

Paul O Keefe on how much Spurs will be paying for Savinho

Highly reliable Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has provided a key financial update on the progress of the deal.

Responding to a fan’s question on X regarding how much the operation for Savinho is expected to cost the Lilywhites, O’Keefe offered a definitive estimate, writing: “Probably will end up close to 55m maybe 60 (pounds).”

If the deal closes around the £55 million to £60 million mark, it would represent a massive investment for Tottenham, nearing the club-record fee paid for Dominic Solanke in 2024.

Manchester City are prepared to cash in on the talented winger following a frustrating campaign at the Etihad.

Savinho found his minutes restricted under Pep Guardiola after the arrival of Antoine Semenyo, prompting the Brazilian to actively seek regular first-team football where he can showcase his world-class potential.

Savinho signing shows strong intent for next season under Roberto De Zerbi

Steering the club’s recruitment drive toward Savinho represents a massive statement of intent for Tottenham under the guidance of De Zerbi.

Savinho, who originally skyrocketed to prominence during a breathtaking spell with Girona in La Liga, possesses the exact raw profile to thrive under De Zerbi’s style of play.

Spurs have already signed Andy Robertson on a free while Marcos Senesi is a done deal as well.

Landing Savinho proves that the Tottenham board is fully prepared to hand De Zerbi the necessary tools to spark a dramatic rise back up the Premier League table.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Arsenal have made calls for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali.

The Gunners are looking to act quickly following their monumental Premier League title win, seeking to reinforce their squad ahead of a demanding season.

Mikel Arteta is intent on building a midfield capable of domestic dominance and a deep Champions League run, and the 26-year-old Italian international has emerged as a high-profile option on their radar.

Arsenal make contact for in-demand midfielder Sandro Tonali

Speaking on his YouTube channel, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided a comprehensive update on the race for the Newcastle engine.

While Manchester United had previously been linked with Tonali, Romano clarified that the Red Devils have gone “cold” on the deal due to the immense financial package required, opting instead to finalise a deal for Atalanta’s Ederson Silva.

This financial hesitation from Old Trafford has opened the door for other heavyweights. Romano revealed that Arsenal have officially entered the mix, initiating contact over the last few days.

However, the Gunners aren’t alone, as Manchester City are keeping tabs on Tonali, although Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson remains priority. Newcastle are expected to demand upwards of £100 million for their prized asset.

Fabrizio Romano said:

“Many questions on Manchester United and Sandro Tonali. You’ll remember there were reports in April and May linking both Ederson and Tonali to United. I can now give you an update on both.

“On Ederson, it was United’s decision and they’ve decided to go for him.

“On Sandro Tonali, the appreciation remains, but my understanding is that he is not particularly close to a move to Manchester United right now. The overall cost — both the transfer fee and salary — is considered too high at this stage, so United are cold on the deal as of today.

“Tonali could be an option for Manchester City, though their current focus is on Elliot Anderson, a player also appreciated by United, who are still monitoring the situation.

“Beyond those two clubs, Arsenal have made calls over recent days regarding Tonali, putting them in the mix as well. More clubs could yet join the race, so the situation around Sandro Tonali may become very interesting.”

His ability to control tempo, break up opposition attacks, and progress the ball under pressure would significantly ease the burden on Declan Rice, allowing Arsenal to build one of the deepest midfield units in Europe.

With the transfer window heating up, Tonali’s future is set to become one of the most closely watched sagas of the summer.

Michael Olise scored a brilliant hat-trick for France as they beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in their final pre-World Cup friendly, delivering a timely reminder of his world-class ability and handing Liverpool fresh food for thought in their pursuit of a Mohamed Salah replacement.

The match served as Didier Deschamps’ last opportunity to fine-tune his side before their Group I opener against Senegal on June 16.

It was exactly the response France needed after a surprise 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast the previous week.

Michael Olise shines for France in 3-1 win over Northern Ireland

Olise broke the deadlock just before half-time in the 42nd minute. After Ousmane Dembélé saw his shot blocked, the rebound fell kindly for the Bayern Munich winger, who finished from close range to give France the lead.

The second half belonged entirely to Olise. He doubled France’s advantage with a thmping strike straight into the second half.

And in the 75th minute, he completed his hat-trick in stunning fashion, cutting inside from the right and curling a sublime left-footed effort into the top corner to seal the win for France.

Liverpool have been linked with Olise as Mohamed Salah replacement

Olise’s barnstorming display will do nothing to dampen Liverpool’s reported interest in the 24-year-old.

With Mohamed Salah’s departure after nine years as Liverpool’s talisman, leaving as their third-highest ever scorer with 256 goals, the Reds face the enormous task of filling the void on the right wing this summer.

Olise has emerged as one of the most frequently mentioned candidates.

It has been reported that the Bayern Munich star is on Liverpool’s radar as a natural Salah successor, with his left-footed style and goal threat from the right flank drawing direct comparisons to the Egyptian.

Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant went further, publicly urging the club to sign him “at all costs.”

The stumbling block, however, is significant. Bayern Munich have been unequivocal in their stance, sporting director Max Eberl stating the winger is “absolutely untouchable” and that the club hasn’t given a sale “a second thought.”

With Olise still under contract in Munich and having notched 19 goals and 29 assists across all competitions this season, Bayern have every reason to hold firm.

For Liverpool fans watching on from Merseyside, though, tonight’s hat-trick will only intensify the dream of seeing Olise in red next season.

Juventus have reportedly identified Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as their leading target after failing in their pursuit of Liverpool star Alisson Becker.

The Italian giants had initially hoped to bring the Brazilian international to Turin, but Liverpool’s refusal to entertain a sale has forced them to explore alternative options ahead of the new season.

Fabrizio Romano reveals Juventus interest in Emiliano Martinez

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri have swiftly pivoted to Martínez as their new priority target for the number-one spot.

Posting on X, Romano revealed: “Juventus want Dibu Martínez as priority target for GK position after Alisson deal off. Talks have started to ask about price and contract details, high salary but Juve keen to explore move. Another option remains Spurs GK Vicario.”

While Juventus are keen to secure the 2022 World Cup winner, they are fully aware that any potential deal will be complex.

The Argentine shot-stopper commands a substantial salary package that will test the Serie A club’s wage structure.

Tottenham star Guglielmo Vicario remains alternative option

Should negotiations for Martínez prove too complicated, Juventus are understood to have an alternative plan in place.

Guglielmo Vicario remains highly admired by the Turin club and is viewed as a strong candidate should the Martínez deal fail to materialise.

The Tottenham goalkeeper has been linked with a move away this summer, with several Serie A clubs showing interest in the Italian including Inter Milan.

Aston Villa could be forced to sell Emiliano Martinez

Despite Martínez’s immense popularity in the Midlands and his recent success on the pitch, Aston Villa may find themselves in a position where they have to consider significant offers.

To continue investing across the rest of Unai Emery’s squad, Villa might look to cash in on high-value assets to balance the books.

A significant bid from Juventus for the 33-year-old could provide the perfect financial injection for the Premier League side, though the final decision will likely depend on whether Juve can match Martínez’s wage expectations and convince the fan-favourite to make the switch to Italy.

Manchester United are in contact with Mateus Fernandes as per Fabrizio Romano’s latest update.

The Red Devils have made the central midfield area their primary recruitment priority under Michael Carrick following the departure of Casemiro, and the 21-year-old Portuguese starlet has rapidly risen to the top of their summer wishlist.

West Ham tell Man United how much they will have to pay for Mateus Fernandes

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, West Ham have formally established their financial demands for the highly-rated midfielder.

Posting on X, Romano revealed: “Understand Mateus Fernandes price tag has been fixed by West Ham in a meeting with his camp: £85m. Manchester United in contact with player side, more clubs also attentive and keen.”

The Hammers find themselves under intense pressure to balance the books and recoup substantial funds following their recent, shocking relegation from the Premier League.

While West Ham view Fernandes as a generational talent who could develop into one of the world’s best players, they accept that keeping him in the Championship is unrealistic.

Consequently, the London club has slapped a steep £85 million valuation on their prized asset to spark a lucrative bidding war.

Man United face competition from Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal

United’s leadership group, INEOS, has already initiated contact with the player’s representatives, and reports suggest Fernandes is incredibly keen on a dream move to Old Trafford. However, securing his signature will be far from straightforward.

The Red Devils are bracing for an elite European battle, as powerhouse clubs circle the young midfielder.

Jose Mourinho has reportedly asked Real Madrid to sign the midfielder while Liverpool under Andoni Iraola are also said to be interested.

Newly crowned Premier League champions, Arsenal, are also said to be closely monitoring the situation and remain attentive to West Ham’s astronomical demands.

With Carrick eager to bolster United’s midfield alongside new signing Ederson Silva, the club will be determined to work fast to land him.

However, it remains to be seen whether United will be willing to meet the hefty £85 million price tag West Ham have slapped on their star player.

The post ‘Manchester United in contact with player’ – Fabrizio Romano’s latest update on £85m star will excite United fans appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Manchester United’s summer plan has not really changed: the club want to rebuild the midfield properly, not just patch it up.

According to a source on X, United still intend to bring in three midfielders, with Atalanta’s Éderson expected to be the first arrival once he officially joins in early July.

That deal already looks close to complete. Sky Sports reported that United have agreed a package worth £34m plus £3.8m in add-ons for the Brazilian, who is set to sign a four-year contract with the option of an extra year.

Éderson is only the start. United’s midfield shortlist is still believed to include Mateus Fernandes, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Alex Scott, Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson.

Man United are targeting more midfielders

That tells you United are not looking for one type of midfielder. They want energy, control, ball-carrying, defensive security and long-term upside.

The Fernandes link is particularly interesting. West Ham reportedly value him at around £80m, while Real Madrid and PSG have also been credited with interest.

Meanwhile, The Guardian has reported that Éderson is viewed as part of United’s plan to strengthen for their Champions League return, with Jason Wilcox a big admirer of the Brazilian.

From Michael Carrick’s point of view, this rebuild is crucial. United have had too many seasons where their midfield looked open, rushed or physically overwhelmed.

Éderson should help with intensity and ball-winning, but he cannot solve everything alone.

That is why adding two more midfielders makes sense. One could be a deeper controller, while another may be a more creative or powerful No.8.

Carrick wants more balance in the midfield

If United get the balance right, Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo could benefit massively.

United are finally thinking properly. Signing three midfielders may sound extreme, but the squad needs it.

Casemiro’s departure and a lack of consistent control have made midfield the biggest problem area.

The danger is spending big without a clear plan. United must avoid collecting names and instead build a unit that actually fits Carrick’s football.

The post Carrick’s midfield rebuild at Man United will not end with the signing of Ederson appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Manchester United could still allow Harry Maguire to leave this summer, even though the experienced centre-back only recently signed fresh terms.

According to Football Insider, United are open to considering offers for the 33-year-old, despite his new deal keeping him at Old Trafford until June 2027, with the option of another year.

That might sound strange at first, but it actually says a lot about where United are heading under Michael Carrick.

The club are trying to reshape the squad, reduce the age profile in key areas and become more flexible in the market.

Experience still matters at Man United

Maguire deserves credit for turning his United career around.

There was a time when it looked almost certain he would leave, but he fought his way back into the team and became a useful senior figure again.

His professionalism, aerial strength and leadership have all been valuable, especially during a period when United needed stability.

United’s official website confirmed in April that he had signed a new contract until at least 2027, while ESPN reported that he had previously been due to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Carrick may want a different defensive profile

The issue is not simply whether Maguire is good enough. It is whether he fits the next version of Man United.

Carrick’s side are expected to play with more control, higher intensity and better progression from the back.

That may lead United to target quicker, younger centre-backs who are more comfortable defending large spaces.

Maguire also missed out on England’s 2026 World Cup squad despite a strong season.

Letting Maguire go would be ruthless, but not completely unfair. He has done well to rebuild his reputation, but United cannot make decisions based only on sentiment.

If a decent offer arrives, the club should seriously consider it. Maguire is still useful, but at 33, he is not the long-term answer.

Arsenal’s interest in Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers appears to be more than just background noise.

According to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, the Gunners have already made early contact with the player’s camp, and that immediately makes this one of the more interesting transfer stories of the summer.

Crook explained the situation clearly, saying:

“Arsenal’s interest in Morgan Rogers is genuine. I’m told that there have been early discussions between Arsenal and Rogers’ camp. I think if a huge bid is made between 80m and 100m, Villa with their financial limitations might well have to sell.”

From Arsenal’s point of view, it is easy to understand the attraction.

Morgan Rogers has impressed top Premier League clubs

Rogers has become one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking midfielders, offering power, direct running, creativity and the ability to play in multiple roles.

He can operate as a No.10, from the left, or even as a second striker, which makes him exactly the type of flexible attacker Mikel Arteta usually likes.

His numbers back up the hype. Rogers contributed to 26 goals across the 2025/26 season, and Arsenal are among the clubs monitoring him as they look to strengthen their midfield and attacking options this summer.

He has also been named in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup, which shows how quickly his reputation has grown.

Are Aston Villa open to the sale of Rogers?

The problem, of course, is Aston Villa’s stance. Reports have suggested Villa do not want to sell one of their best players, but money talks.

If Arsenal really do place an offer in the £80m-£100m range, Villa may have a difficult decision to make, especially with financial pressures still part of the picture.

This would be a brilliant signing for Arsenal but only if they are absolutely convinced he can become a regular starter.

Spending that kind of money on a squad option would be risky.

Rogers has the physicality, personality and Premier League experience to improve Arsenal immediately. But Villa hold strong cards, and Arsenal must avoid turning interest into desperation.

Aston Villa are reportedly looking at Harvey Barnes as a possible summer signing, and this is a transfer link that makes sense for both sides.

According to Football Insider, the Newcastle United winger’s future is far from certain, with Villa emerging as one of the clubs monitoring his situation ahead of the new season.

Barnes is not a player Newcastle will be desperate to push out, but his position in the squad has become more interesting.

The Magpies are expected to reshape their attack after selling Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, while Eddie Howe is also being linked with new wide players.

That naturally raises questions about who stays, who leaves, and where Barnes fits into the next version of Newcastle’s front line.

Aston Villa want Premier League experienced attackers

From Villa’s point of view, Barnes would be a very useful addition. He is Premier League-proven, direct, quick, and dangerous when attacking from the left.

He also carries a genuine goal threat, which is something Unai Emery always values in wide players.

Barnes joined Newcastle from Leicester City in 2023 on a five-year contract for a fee believed to be around £38m, so he is still under contract until 2028.

His numbers show why Villa would be interested. In the 2025/26 season, Barnes made 55 appearances in all competitions, scoring 16 goals, including seven in the Premier League and six in Europe.

Across his Newcastle career, he has now scored 30 goals in 118 matches, which is a strong return for a winger who has not always been guaranteed to start.

Newcastle are expected to demand a high fee

The challenge for Villa would be the fee. Newcastle are not in a weak negotiating position, especially after Gordon’s sale gave them financial breathing room.

Barnes is experienced, homegrown and still only 28, so they would not let him leave cheaply.

Barnes would be a smart but slightly expensive option for Aston Villa. He would add pace, end product and Premier League experience without needing a long adaptation period.

For Newcastle, the decision depends on their attacking plans. If Barnes is still central to Howe’s squad, they should keep him.

But if new signings arrive and his role shrinks, selling at the right price could be sensible.

Federico Chiesa’s Liverpool future is still up in the air, but the Italian winger is not ready to make a final decision before speaking with new head coach Andoni Iraola.

According to reports from Italy, the 28-year-old wants clarity over his role at Anfield before deciding whether to stay and fight for his place or push for a move this summer.

Chiesa’s first spell at Liverpool has not gone the way many expected.

Signed from Juventus in 2024, he arrived with a big reputation, but injuries, tactical issues and limited opportunities made it difficult for him to build momentum.

He started just one Premier League game last season and was used only sparingly under Arne Slot.
A possible January exit was reportedly blocked because Liverpool were short of attacking options at the time.

Italian winger has the chance to revive his career

Now, Iraola’s arrival changes the picture. Liverpool confirmed the former Bournemouth boss as their new head coach on a two-year deal after Slot’s dismissal, with the club attracted by his aggressive, high-energy football and proven Premier League work.

For Chiesa, that could either be a fresh chance or the final sign that he needs a new club.

The interesting thing is that Chiesa still seems open-minded. He reportedly wants to understand Iraola’s plans during pre-season before making any major call.

That is sensible. A new manager means a clean slate, and Chiesa’s pace, direct running and ability to play across the front three could be useful in an intense pressing system.

However, Liverpool also need to be realistic. Chiesa is 28 now, not a young prospect waiting for development minutes.

Chiesa wants more clarity over his future under Iraola

If he is not going to play regularly, keeping him around as an unhappy squad option helps nobody.

He remains open to different possibilities, including a return to Italy if regular football is not available.

Liverpool should give Chiesa a proper pre-season under Iraola before making any final decision.

He is too talented to dismiss without a fair look, especially after such a stop-start period.

But this has to be honest. If Iraola sees a role for him, Chiesa could become a useful attacking weapon. If not, Liverpool should let him leave while his value and reputation remain strong.
