TRENDING RUMORS

• Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are all monitoring a move for Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi, reports The Daily Mail. The 19-year-old has 10 goals to his name in his first full Premier League campaign, including an important finish against Arsenal over the weekend. That strike-rate has caught the attention of plenty of top sides, who are willing to pay upwards of £60 million to sign him, while Man United are also reported to be in the race to land Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer this summer.

• Bayern Munich have been monitoring Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey ahead of a potential move this summer, reports The Independent. Brobbey, 24, has impressed in his debut Premier League campaign, with six goals to his name so far this season. And Bayern are looking to bring in competition forstriker Harry Kane in their forward ranks.

• Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton are monitoring Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki, claims TEAMtalk. The 21-year-old has been a regular for the Black Cats this season, with 27 Premier League appearances so far. But while their league rivals are keen on a possible transfer, Sunderland are adamant that there will be no exit for Sadiki in the transfer window.

• Borussia Dortmund are leading the race to re-sign winger Jadon Sancho as a free agent when his contract expires at Manchester United this summer. The Mirror claims that while the forward wants to return to the Bundesliga, Dortmund have made it clear that he will have to accept a drop in wages. Sancho is keen to make a return to the club he left in 2021 for €85 million to join United, so will likely accept to get his career back on track after several disappointing loan spells.

• Gabriel Jesus will assess any potential offers to leave Arsenal in the summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 29-year-old has changed agents and while he has a deal with the Gunners until 2027 and is focused on the rest of the season, the summer could open up opportunities to leave one year before his contract expires.
