TRENDING RUMORS

Manchester United and Liverpool are stepping up interest in AS Monaco star Maghnes Akliouche ahead of the summer, reports TEAMtalk. Both teams reportedly sent scouts to watch the forward in action against Marseille in Ligue 1 this weekend. The 24-year-old has picked up seven goals and eight assists in all competitions this season, featuring on the right side of attack.
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is pushing to complete a move to Barcelona quickly, according to Mundo Deportivo, as he looks to agree personal terms. Bastoni, 26, is Barcelona top target to improve their backline and the Italy international believes that the sooner negotiations start, the sooner a move can be completed. However, Sport reports that Bologna center back Jhon Lucumí could be a cheaper alternative as his transfer would cost €25 million as opposed to Bastoni's €60 million.
Ibrahima Konaté is increasingly likely to extend his stay at Liverpool, as he enters the final few months of his contract at Anfield. That's according to L'Equipe, which claims the defender wants his future ironed out before this summer's World Cup. The 26-year-old has interest from LaLiga, but appears to be leaning towards signing another deal with Liverpool, as they build a backline for the future with the €60 million arrival of Jérémy Jacquet already set.
Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has no intention of leaving the club in the coming transfer window, says Florian Plettenberg. The 23-year-old has been linked with a potential exit, with the club reportedly open to offers of around €50 million to sign the midfielder. However, despite rumors over interest from PSG and Liverpool, Camavinga wants to stay with Real Madrid and his contract runs until 2029.
Juventus have made enquiries over a move for Al Hilal striker Darwin Núñez, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The former Liverpool forward has endured a tough debut campaign in Saudi Arabia, after being unregistered from the SPL squad for the second half of the campaign. That has opened the way to a possible exit in the summer, with Juventus among those keen on landing the Uruguay international.
