Manchester United are interested in signing Donyell Malen at the end of the season.

The Netherlands International is in fine form during his loan spell at AS Roma, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the Red Devils.

According to reports via GMS, other Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Man United could use Donyell Malen

They need a dynamic attacker like Malen who can operate on the flanks as well as in the centre. He could help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. The Dutch attacker has 11 goals in 14 League matches with Roma, and he has managed to reclaim his form and confidence.

He will want to leave Aston Villa permanently at the end of the season, and the opportunity to play for Manchester United will be exciting. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football for the upcoming campaign, and he might be able to push for trophies with them as well.

Malen set for Premier League return?

They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for any player. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign the player. That said, Malen struggled in the Premier League with Aston Villa, and it remains to be seen whether he is ready to continue in England if Manchester United come in for him.

It is fair to assume that Aston Villa also wants to sell the player permanently. Despite his recent form, he does not have a future at the West Midlands club, and it would be ideal for all parties to secure a permanent exit in the summer.

Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah had a public fallout with manager Arne Slot earlier this season.

The Egyptian was dropped from the starting lineup due to his dip in form, and he decided to criticise the manager publicly during that period. The two reportedly settled their differences later on, and Salah was eventually brought into the starting lineup.

Mohamed Salah aims a dig at Slot

However, it seems the player is still not quite happy with the manager’s treatment and philosophy this season. During an interview with former Liverpool star Steven Gerrard, the Egyptian took another sly dig at the manager.

While discussing the number of assists they have for Liverpool, Gerrard said Salah has more assists than he does because he had to play as a right back for Liverpool at times. Responding to the former Liverpool captain, the Egyptian joked that he had to slot in as a right back this season.

Salah has not been at his best this season

Slot has been heavily criticised for his conservative approach this season, and there have been claims that it is one of the main reasons Salah has not been at his best. The Egyptian operated in a far more advanced position last year, and he had more license to attack. On the other hand, his freedom has been curbed this season, and it seems he has been shackled by a more conservative approach from the Liverpool manager.

His remarks during the interview with Gerrard is clearly another swipe at the Netherlands manager.

Salah has decided to leave the club in the summer, and he has been an exceptional servant for Liverpool over the years. The fans would certainly have expected him to finish off on a high. However, the fallout with Slot will certainly go down as a blot in his final season with the Reds.

Liverpool is interested in signing the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League, and Liverpool are in advanced talks to secure his signature. He has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but a report from Marca claims that Liverpool have stolen a march on the Spanish club.

It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Wharton has been described as “an incredible player”. Wharton has also been linked with Manchester United.

Liverpool could use Adam Wharton

They need more defensive cover and control in the middle of the park. The England International would be an exceptional addition. He is a world-class talent, and he has all the attributes to develop into a future star. He is already a key player in the Premier League, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

He will add defensive cover and control, along with composure, in the middle of the park. Apart from his ability to win the ball back for his team and break up opposition attacks, he is capable of controlling the tempo of the game from the deep and recycling the possession.

Wharton could transform Liverpool

He could be the ideal midfielder for Liverpool. His arrival would also allow Liverpool to use Ryan Gravenberch in his natural role. The Netherlands International has been operating in a defensive midfield role, but he is better suited to central midfield.

Crystal Palace will not want to lose a tremendous talent like him easily, and they are likely to demand a premium. Liverpool will have to break the Bank if they want to get the deal done. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Manchester United are looking to sign Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP.

A report via A Bola claims that the player could be available for a fee of around €40-50 million. Even though he has an €80 million release clause, the Portuguese outfit is prepared to sanction his departure for a reasonable fee.

Morten Hjulmand is a player in demand

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can win the race for his signature. They will also face competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus.

The report claims that Manchester United is currently in pole position to sign the Denmark International. The 26-year-old will add physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park for the Premier League side.

Casemiro has decided to leave Manchester United in the summer, and they need to replace him properly. They will need an upgrade on Manuel Ugarte as well. Hjulmand has shown his quality in Portugal, and he has the physicality to succeed in English football as well. He could prove to be an excellent addition for Manchester United.

Arsenal also keen on Hjulmand

Meanwhile, it is no surprise that Arsenal are keeping tabs on him. They could use more depth in the middle of the park as well. The Denmark International would be an upgrade on Christian Norgaard.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old is a lifelong Arsenal fan, and they might feel that they could have an edge in the transfer race. It will be interesting to see if they are truly keen on the player. They have the resources to afford him, but they have yet to present an official proposal.

Hjulmand is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a bigger club. Arsenal or Manchester United could be an exciting destination for him.

Liverpool have joined the race for the Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi.

The 28-year-old will be a free agent in the summer, and he has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks, according to a report from Marca.

Senesi is also a target for Tottenham.

Marcos Senesi would be ideal for Liverpool

Liverpool could use more depth in the defensive unit, and the South American would be ideal for them on a free transfer. He has the quality and experience to compete in the Premier League, and he has shown that with Bournemouth.

Liverpool could lose Ibrahima Konaté at the end of the season, and the 28-year-old central defender could be his replacement. Konate will be out of contract in the coming weeks, and he has not yet signed an extension with the Premier League club. It is normal for Liverpool to look at potential alternatives, and signing the 28-year-old Premier League defender for free could be a masterstroke.

Senesi would be a bargain addition

Meanwhile, signing an experienced player like him for free would allow Liverpool to invest their money elsewhere in the squad. They will need to bring in multiple players during the summer transfer window.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the defender to join. Senesi has played under Arne Slot at Feyenoord, and he might be open to a reunion. Richard Hughes also knows the player well from his time with the Cherries.

Furthermore, the opportunity to play for one of the country’s biggest clubs will be exciting for the South American. Liverpool won the league title last season, and they will be expected to fight for major trophies next season. The defender could be excited about the possibility of joining them.

Spurs are pushing to sign Senesi, and Liverpool must act quickly to get the deal done.

Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing Daniel Svensson from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old left back has done quite well for the German club, and he could cost around €35 million in the summer. According to a report from Fussball Daten, the two Premier League clubs are interested in securing his signature.

Liverpool could use Daniel Svensson

It is no secret that Liverpool needs more depth in the left-back department. Andrew Robertson has decided to leave the club in the summer, and they need to replace him. The Scottish international has been exceptional for the club, and replacing him will not be easy.

Even though they have invested in Milos Kerkez, they need more depth in that area. They cannot expect to get through a whole season with the Hungarian as the club’s only left-back. Svensson has four goals and two assists this season.

Liverpool wanted Svensson last year as well.

Arsenal eyeing Svensson move

On the other hand, Arsenal could lose Myles Lewis-Skelly due to the lack of gametime in the summer. They will need another option in his absence, and the Swedish International could be ideal. However, he will also want to play regularly. It remains to be seen whether Svenson is willing to accept the role of a squad player at Arsenal.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite exciting for any player. The 24-year-old will certainly be tempted to join a big club. Arsenal and Liverpool have the financial muscle to pay the asking price as well. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

The 24-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could be a key player in the right team.

Xabi Alonso has been linked with a move to the Premier League after his departure from Real Madrid.

Chelsea are keeping tabs on his situation, and they could look to appoint the Spaniard as their next manager. They parted ways with Liam Rosenior recently and have since been linked to multiple managers.

They are keeping tabs on Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth and Marco Silva of Fulham, as per FussballDaten.

Can Chelsea get the Alonso deal done?

It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done for the former Real Madrid manager. Alonso is a talented young manager with a bright future, and he is highly rated across Europe. Even though he was shown the door at Real Madrid, he did reasonably well at the Spanish club.

He has shown his quality at Bayer Leverkusen. He helped the German club break the Bayern Munich stranglehold and win the league title.

There is no doubt that he has the pedigree to manage a top Premier League club. The opportunity to take over at Chelsea could be exciting for him.

Xabi Alonso could be a quality option

Xabi Alonso had a 74% win rate in La Liga (72% overall) as Real Madrid manager, higher than Zinedine Zidane managed in both of his spells with the club and higher than Ancelotti.

There is no doubt he could develop into a top-class manager with the right project and backing. Chelsea have talented players at their disposal and the resources to further improve the team. If they are willing to be patient with the Spaniard, he could help them put together a formidable theme for the future.

Iraola and Silva could be interesting options for Chelsea as well. They are well settled in English football, and they could make an immediate impact.

Eli Junior Kroupi has done well this season

Kroupi has established himself as an indispensable asset for the Cherries, and they will not want to lose them easily. The player does not have a release clause in his contract, and they could demand a premium for him. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is willing to break the Bank for him in the summer.

Kroupi has 11 goals in the Premier League this season. He scored an outstanding goal against Arsenal earlier this season.

Arsenal could use Kroupi

It is no secret that they need another quality striker. Viktor Gyokeres has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, but he has not been prolific enough in the Premier League. Arsenal need more depth in that area of the pitch, and the 19-year-old French attacker could be the ideal long-term acquisition for them. He is not just a goal scorer, and he will help out creatively as well.

The opportunity to play for Arsenal will be exciting for the young attacker. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to fight for major trophies with them.

Similarly, Manchester United need another quality attacker to compete with Benjamin Sesko. They are likely to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season and need a deeper, higher-quality squad. Adding the Bournemouth attacker could be a wise decision.

It remains to be seen whether they can beat Arsenal to his signature.

Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki is shaping up to be one of the headline names of the 2026 summer transfer window.

Having earned 18 caps for the DR Congo national team, Sadiki has caught the eye with consistent performances in the Premier League this season, drawing the attention of England’s biggest clubs.

Chelsea and Man United want Noah Sadiki

Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Chelsea held fresh talks with his representatives last week and is understood to have listed him among the potential replacements for Enzo Fernández.

Manchester United, meanwhile, regard Sadiki as one of their priority targets, dispatching scouts repeatedly throughout the campaign to monitor him closely. Arsenal and Everton are also in the mix, while Tottenham Hotspur’s long-standing admiration for the player could only turn into concrete action depending on their league position.

Sunderland wants a premium for Sadiki

On Sunderland’s side, the stance is firm. The club hierarchy sees Sadiki as central to their long-term project and has no intention of selling. His contract runs until 2030, giving Sunderland strong leverage at the negotiating table.

Only an astronomical bid would force them to reconsider. Figures in the region of €50–60 million could make them think twice. That would represent a huge rise in value for a player signed from Union Saint-Gilloise for €17 million.

Sadiki’s current market valuation stands at €30 million, with annual earnings of around €2.4 million in England. A move to one of Europe’s elite clubs would likely bring a significant salary increase.

In conclusion, the Noah Sadiki file is set to become one of the most strategic storylines of the Premier League summer window.

Chelsea and Manchester United’s strong interest, Arsenal and Everton’s monitoring, and Tottenham’s long-term admiration place this transfer saga at the heart of English football. Sunderland’s resolute position, however, remains the decisive factor.
