Arsenal are making plans to pursue Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe once his contract expires in 2024, indicating their interest in securing the talented player. Meanwhile, Chelsea is also joining the race for Mbappe’s signature and is prepared to make an enticing offer of €120 million along with the inclusion of two players as part of the deal.
The potential players that could be included in the offer are Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, and Christian Pulisic. However, Real Madrid, long-time admirers of Mbappe, have their sights set on acquiring him in 2024 and might compensate for their need for a striker by securing a loan move for Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic.
The incoming PSG manager, Luis Enrique, is already contemplating restructuring the team’s attacking lineup, and as such, he is eyeing a move for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix. This reveals Enrique’s intentions to make changes and revamp PSG’s attacking options.
In a related development, Christian Pulisic has reached an agreement for a long-term contract with AC Milan, although negotiations between AC Milan and Chelsea regarding the transfer fee are still ongoing.
Tottenham Hotspur is actively searching for a new center-back and remains interested in Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential candidate to bolster their defensive line. The club sees Adarabioyo as a viable option in their pursuit of defensive reinforcements.
Additionally, Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has expressed great admiration for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund and is considering launching a bid of €60 million for the Danish player, despite his market value being closer to €100 million. Furthermore, Porto striker Mehdi Taremi has caught the attention of Manchester United and is now on their radar as a potential signing.
After securing the services of Mason Mount for £60 million, Manchester United will still have £65 million remaining to invest in acquiring a new striker. This signals their intent to strengthen their attacking options even further. Meanwhile, Liverpool is currently prioritizing the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig and is not actively pursuing a move for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia at the moment.
Manchester City has approached Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga, assuring him of a significant role under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola. Veiga, intrigued by the prospect, is open to the idea of joining the club. On a different note, Brazilian player Raphinha has received interest from Saudi Arabia regarding a potential summer transfer, but the Barcelona winger is focused on remaining with his current club.
Lastly, Marcus Thuram, who enjoyed a successful debut season in the Bundesliga, earning the title of the league’s rookie of the month on three consecutive occasions, is yet to score his first goal for the French national team. Thuram provided two assists for France during the 2022 World Cup, including one for Kylian Mbappe in the final.
His recent move to Inter Milan strengthens their attack following the departure of Edin Dzeko, and there are reports suggesting that Chelsea and Inter are nearing an agreement regarding Romelu Lukaku. It is speculated that Lukaku might return to San Siro on loan with an obligation for Inter to purchase him in 2024, considering Inter’s current financial limitations.
