#5 Newcastle

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is hopeful of making Kenedy’s move permanent for £10 million. 'Yes, there is a worry the value may go up, but if you say, "Do I want him to score goals and the value will go up?", then yes, I want him to score goals,' Benitez was quoted saying by Daily Mail.

'That is football - if you have a good player the value goes higher. But the main thing, for now, is to get to 40 points and then speak to Chelsea - so maybe we can do it on Sunday night.'

#4 Tottenham

Pochettino has a great eye for talents

Another player has been linked with Tottenham in what promises to be a busy summer for the Lilywhites. According to Estadio Deportivo, Spurs’ scouts were present during RB Salzburg’s match against Sevilla. Spurs had been credited with an interest for Salzburg midfielder Amadou Haidara.

Meanwhile, Everton are interested in 16-year-old Kamal Bafounta. The Nantes youngster could leave the club in the summer with Everton being the one with the concrete offer, say L’Equipe.

#3 Manchester madness

Thiago wanted by the old boss?

Defenders seem to be the need of the hour for the Red Devils as they are once again being linked with a new defender. According to the folks at Mirror, Manchester United are looking at Leicester City defender Harry Maguire, who is rated at £35 million.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola might snatch a player from his former club as he is being linked with a move for former Barcelona and current Bayern Munich midfielder, Thiago Alcantara, in the summer, say the Daily Mail.

#2 Liverpool ft. Man City

Vazquez is on fire

Lucas Vazquez is a man in form as Zinedine Zidane’s faith in him has been repaid by the winger. And now, according to Don Balon, Jurgen Klopp wants to add the winger to the team and might have to pay €60-80 million for him.

This is just the beginning of Manchester rumours here as Manchester City are apparently frontrunners in the race to sign Matthijs De Ligt after Ajax slapped a £50 million tag over his head, according to a report from Mirror.

#1 Rumour of the day

Mbappe is already a star

The Mirror seems to be on fire today as they bring to us the rumour of the day. Manchester City are apparently lining up a sensation swoop for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, only just a season after the French giants signing him.

The youngster could have to be sold by the Parisiens should they fail to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules. PSG spend around €400 million for signing Neymar and Mbappe, who cost €180 million, last summer and could miss out on the Champions League if found guilty of breaching FFP rules.
