Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup. Today, Lionel Messi features on this list – which is why it could be dubbed as one hell of a day in the market. So without further ado – let us begin!
#5 Newcastle United fear they might miss out on Kenedy
So there is fear in the Newcastle camp as Chelsea are going to play the waiting game on Kenedy after numerous clubs have shown interest in the left-sided midfielder after a great loan spell at St James Park, report Northern Echo.
Meanwhile, while Wolves might still be in the Championship, they are assured to play in the Premier League next season and are going to make an ambitious swoop for Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere in the summer, according to the Mirror.
#4 Liverpool set for a bidding war for Roma goalkeeper
While Wolves might be playing in the Premier League next season, the player that played the biggest role for that happening might not be with them after all.
According to FourFourTwo, the Reds can grab the Portuguese talent Ruben Neves should they come in with the right offer.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are going to go in a war against Real Madrid for a star they have been linked for quite a while now.
Roma’s Alisson is wanted by both Madrid and Liverpool and there could be a bidding war over him in the summer, say Don Balon.
#3 Manchester United make Jorginho their No.1 target
After repeated links with Toni Kroos over the last few months, Manchester United have made Jorginho their prime target for the summer.
Jose Mourinho is apparently very impressed with the way Jorginho has played this season and sees him as an alternative to Toni Kroos, say Independent.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is going to “stab” Barca over Matthijs De Ligt.
Barcelona apparently wants the defender but Manchester City are going to negotiate for him in the summer, says Don Balon.
#2 Benzema to London
This is perhaps one of the only times when a non-top six club are going to make it in this section of this roundup.
According to Don Balon – who else? – Real Madrid have a €60 million offer from a Premier League outfit for Karim Benzema.
And no, it is not from Arsenal, it is from another London club – West Ham United. He has, however, declined the offer as he believes that it would be a step back in his career.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing a €100 million bid for Marco Asensio, but the London club don’t interest him as they almost set to miss out on the Champions League next season.
On the other hand, Manchester City are also readying €130 million for the Spaniard – report Don Balon.
#1 Former Barcelona manager linked with the Arsenal hot seat
Just a day after Arsene Wenger announced his resignation from the North London club at the end of the season, Daily Mail report that the Gunners will now add former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique to the dugout at the Emirates.
Finally, Express claim that Lionel Messi’s excellent relation with Luis Enrique could see him move to Arsenal in the summer.
