Tottenham look set to sell club captain Cristian Romero at the end of the season as part of a massive squad overhaul aimed at changing the club’s culture.

Despite the defender’s central role in the team, The Telegraph reports that Spurs are planning to move on from several high-profile stars this summer to fund a significant rebuild.

The decision comes at a critical time for the club, which has endured a disastrous domestic campaign that has left them embroiled in an unlikely Premier League relegation battle.

Tottenham believe selling Cristian Romero is ‘best for all parties’

While Romero remains a vital asset on the pitch, the report claims that senior figures at the club increasingly believe that a parting of the ways is ‘best for all parties’.

The Argentine international has cut a frustrated figure this season and has publicly expressed his unhappiness with the hierarchy over the club’s direction.

The report adds that finances also play a significant role in the decision. Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham warned in January that Tottenham are “not immune” from Profit and Sustainability Rules, noting that any major summer arrivals must be balanced by significant sales.

By cashing in on Romero, who is valued at over £60 million, Spurs would generate the necessary capital to reshape a squad that has underperformed under multiple managers.

Romero is wanted by Atletico Madrid

Romero is set to return to the starting lineup for tonight’s Champions League last-16 clash against Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

He has missed the last four Premier League matches due to suspension, but is eligible for European competition.

The fixture is being viewed as a potential ‘audition’ for the 27-year-old. Atletico manager Diego Simeone is a long-term admirer of his compatriot and is keen to bring him to the Spanish capital to lead his defense.

With Spurs currently sitting 16th in the Premier League, a move to a consistent Champions League contender like Atletico is expected to appeal to the World Cup winner, who is seeking a summer exit.

They could face strong competition from rivals Real Madrid, who too have been strongly linked with the World Cup winner.

Romero’s time at Tottenham

Romero joined Tottenham from Atalanta in 2021 and has since made 151 appearances, scoring 13 goals.

While his aggressive, front-foot defending made him a fan favorite, his disciplinary record has often left the team vulnerable.

As interim boss Igor Tudor fights to keep the club in the top flight, the looming summer exit of the club captain signals the end of an era and the beginning of a ruthless new chapter in North London.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has revealed that he is not currently in contract talks with the club, despite growing speculation regarding his long-term future at Anfield.

The Argentina World Cup winner, who has been a key part of the Liverpool midfield since arriving from Brighton in 2023, confirmed that no negotiations are currently underway to extend his stay on Merseyside.

Mac Allister confirms Liverpool have yet to begin contract talks with him

Speaking about the situation ahead of the match against Galatasaray, Mac Allister remained calm regarding the lack of movement.

He said (via Fabrizio Romano): “We are not in contract talks with Liverpool. There are no negotiations over a new deal, but we are not in a rush.”

The 27-year-old’s current agreement runs until the summer of 2028, giving the club some breathing room.

However, the update comes at a time when Liverpool have been proactive in securing other key assets, such as Ryan Gravenberch, who recently signed a long-term extension until 2032.

Mac Allister’s father and agent, Carlos, echoed his son’s sentiments in a recent interview, noting that while the player is ‘happy’ at Liverpool, they are simply waiting for the club to make the first move.

The lack of formal discussions is reportedly a measured approach from the Liverpool hierarchy, who are currently balancing several high-profile contract situations, including Ibrahima Konate’s.

Mac Allister is a top target for Real Madrid

The delay in contract negotiations has inevitably alerted Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants are reportedly monitoring Mac Allister’s situation closely as they look to refresh their midfield following the departures of veteran stars.

Report suggests that Los Blancos are yet to replace the technical ability of Toni Kroos and Luca Modric and have identified Mac Allister as a top target.

With Real Madrid having already raided Anfield for Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2025, there are fears among the Liverpool faithful that the Argentine could be the next star to swap the Premier League for the Bernabéu.

Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi will not be renewing his contract with the club, the Cherries’ director of football operations, Tiago Pinto, has officially confirmed.

The Argentine international, who has become a linchpin in Andoni Iraola’s backline since his move from Feyenoord in 2022, is now set to depart the Vitality Stadium as one of the most coveted free agents in European football this June.

According to according to 365Scores (via MD), Tiago Pinto has confirmed that the player will be leaving the club on a free transfer:

“Senesi will become a free player next June and will officially leave the team at the end of his contract next summer. He will not have a future at the club, which means he will be out of the team’s plans for the new season.”

Marcos Senesi to leave Bournemouth a free agent amid interest from Chelsea

The announcement has sparked a frenzy among Europe’s elite, with Chelsea reportedly leading the Premier League interest.

Under head coach Liam Rosenior, the Blues are searching for ball-playing, experienced defenders to bolster their possession-based system.

Senesi, a left-footed center-back with over 100 Premier League appearances, is seen as a cost-effective solution to Chelsea’s defensive inconsistencies.

By securing Senesi, Chelsea would avoid a hefty transfer fee, allowing them to redirect funds toward other priority areas like a new striker.

Other Premier League clubs also interested including Tottenham and Newcastle

While Chelsea are circling, they face stiff competition within the English top flight. Tottenham and Newcastle United have both registered firm interest, with the Magpies reportedly believing they are “strong favorites” to keep the 28-year-old in England.

Spurs, currently navigating a difficult season under Igor Tudor, view Senesi as an essential target, specially with the future of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven uncertain. Aston Villa and Everton are also monitoring the situation closely.

Senesi would prefer a move to Barcelona

Despite the allure of staying in the Premier League, Senesi is reportedly interested in a move to Barcelona.

Reports from Spain suggest the Argentine prioritises a move to the Catalan giants, who are looking for an experienced, low-cost partner for their younger defenders.

While Juventus and Roma have also made contact, with Juve reportedly offering a four-year deal, the lure of La Liga and Hansi Flick’s project at Barcelona remains the player’s dream destination.

Michael Carrick has done a remarkable job since stepping in as interim manager following the sacking of Ruben Amorim; however, he has not yet convinced the club to appoint him as a permanent manager.

Despite the “Carrick effect” revitalising the squad, Manchester United has reportedly shortlisted Roberto De Zerbi as a top target for the permanent role this summer.

The former Marseille boss is understood to be ‘keen’ on the Old Trafford job as he eyes a return to the Premier League.

Roberto De Zerbi keen on Manchester United job

According to a report from The Telegraph, De Zerbi is a prominent name on Man United’s shortlist as they decide on their next long-term head coach.

The Italian, who left Marseille by mutual consent in February, has made no secret of his desire to manage a leading English club.

De Zerbi’s stock remains high among senior figures at United, who admire his front-foot style of attacking football and his insistence on dominating possession.

The Italian has been hailed as “one of the best managers in the world” by Arne Slot.

Tottenham also eyeing De Zerbi for permanent role

United are not the only club monitoring the Italian’s situation. Tottenham are also considering De Zerbi as a long-term option, though any move depends on their top-flight status.

Spurs are currently fighting for survival, sitting just one point above the drop zone.

The report suggests that while De Zerbi is a primary target, he would only consider the move if Tottenham secure Premier League survival.

With Igor Tudor under immense pressure after losing his first three games, the North London club may face a fight to beat United to De Zerbi’s signature.

Michael Carrick suffered first defeat as Man United manager vs Newcastle

The managerial speculation has intensified following a reality check for interim boss Michael Carrick.

After a sensational seven-game unbeaten run, Carrick suffered his first defeat as Manchester United manager in a 2-1 loss against 10-men Newcastle on Wednesday.

Despite Newcastle being reduced to 10 men following Jacob Ramsey’s red card, United failed to capitalise.

A late wonder goal from William Osula ended Carrick’s unbeaten run, leaving the United legend ‘bitterly disappointed’.

While United remain third in the table, the defeat has reignited the debate whether Carrick is good enough to lead the club permanently or if a high-profile appointment is necessary.

Liverpool has suffered a major injury blow with goalkeeper Alisson Becker ruled out of the Champions League clash against Galatasaray.

The Brazilian shot-stopper did not travel to Istanbul with the rest of Arne Slot’s squad for the round-of-16 first-leg encounter after sustaining a setback during training on Monday.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

Paul Joyce, writing for The Times, confirmed the news and explained that the issue arose following the team’s final session before departure.

Joyce wrote: “Alisson will miss Liverpool’s Champions League game with Galatasaray having complained of discomfort after Monday’s training session.”

While the problem is reportedly minor, the decision to leave the 33-year-old on Merseyside reflects a cautious approach from the Liverpool medical staff.

Nevertheless, the timing is a significant headache for Slot, as Alisson’s presence in high-stakes European away games has often been the difference for the Reds.

Giorgi Mamardashvili to step in for injured Alisson Becker

The report adds that the goalkeeper has not travelled to Istanbul and that Giorgi Mamardashvili is in line to replace him.

The Georgian international, who officially joined the club in the summer of 2025, is now set to make his first appearance since the FA Cup victory over Barnsley two months ago.

Mamardashvili is no stranger to the atmosphere at RAMS Park, having replaced Alisson as a substitute during Liverpool’s 1–0 defeat there back in September.

With 11 appearances already this season, the 25-year-old will be tasked with providing the defensive stability required to take a positive result back to Anfield.

Alisson Becker is among one of the most injury-prone goalkeepers

This latest setback unfortunately continues a frustrating trend for Alisson.

Despite his status as one of the world’s elite goalkeepers, his availability has been a persistent concern.

He has already missed nine matches this season across all competitions, including a significant spell in late 2025 due to a hamstring injury.

Since 2019, Alisson has faced a variety of muscle, hip, and calf issues that have forced Liverpool to rely heavily on their backup options.

While the club’s investment in Mamardashvili was intended to future-proof the position, the frequent reliance on the deputy has resulted in growing concern over the Brazilian’s long-term future at the club.

Liverpool have reportedly beaten arch-rivals Manchester City to the signature of American wonderkid Noah “Dash” Allen, according to the latest reports from BallerzScout.

The 14-year-old sensation, who has already drawn comparisons to USMNT icon Christian Pulisic, is the latest high-profile youth prospect to join the Reds’ burgeoning academy at Kirkby.

The move marks a significant victory for Liverpool’s recruitment team, as they have managed to secure a talent that had previously been training within the Manchester City setup as recently as late 2024.

Liverpool complete signing of Noah Allen

The young winger, widely known by the nickname “Dash” due to his explosive pace, recently completed a successful trial on Merseyside.

During his time at the academy, Allen reportedly shone in several fixtures, notably netting a goal against Birmingham City that sealed the club’s decision to offer a permanent spot in their youth ranks.

Born in 2012, Allen’s journey has come full circle; he was born in England before moving to the United States at a young age.

After developing his skills in the Colorado Rapids youth system, he has now returned to the UK to begin his professional journey with the Premier League leaders.

Player profile: Who is Noah Allen?

At just 14 years old, Allen is already being heralded as one of the standout American prospects of his generation.

He is primary a right-winger, but capable of operating as a creative “Number 10.”

View this post on Instagram

Known for his blistering pace, Allen has elite technical skill, and a “star-man” charisma on the pitch.

Regarded as one of the brightest talents to emerge from America, all eyes will now be on the young attacker who will now hope to develop into a top player at Liverpool.

Liverpool have officially confirmed that star midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has committed his long-term future to the club, putting pen to paper on a bumper new contract.

The Dutch international, who has become the heartbeat of the Reds’ midfield, signed the extension at Anfield on Saturday, following months of speculation regarding interest from abroad.

Liverpool officially confirm new deal for Ryan Gravenberch

The club officially announced the agreement, revealing that Gravenberch has signed a six-year extension that will keep him on Merseyside until June 2032.

The deal represents a significant pay rise for the 23-year-old, reflecting his status as one of the first names on Arne Slot’s team sheet.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Gravenberch expressed his delight:

“I feel really, really good. I was really proud to extend my contract at such a big club. So, I’m really happy that I can stay for many more years.

“I felt directly the trust from the club, also from the manager. The decision for me was easy to make. My family is also happy here. We are now here almost three years, so I know everything already. I’m happy that I’m here.”

New Gravenberch deal fends off interest from European heavyweights

The timing of the contract is a massive statement of intent from Liverpool’s sporting hierarchy.

In recent months, rumours had intensified linking the Dutchman with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona, both of whom were reportedly monitoring his situation as a “top priority” for the summer of 2026.

By tying Gravenberch down until 2032, Liverpool have effectively issued a ‘hands-off’ warning to the European elite.

With the midfield anchor secured, the club now turns its attention to securing a similar long-term agreement for Ibrahima Konate.

Ryan Gravenberch has been a revelation for Liverpool midfield

Ryan Gravenberch has been nothing short of a revelation since his move from Bayern Munich.

While his debut season under Jurgen Klopp was one of adaptation, his transformation under Arne Slot during the 2024/25 campaign was historic.

Shifted into a deeper “number 6” role, Gravenberch evolved into one of the best defensive pivots in world football.

His ability to break lines with his signature driving runs and his elite interception rate were the foundation of Liverpool’s success.

He played an integral role in returning the Premier League title to Anfield last May and was rightfully rewarded with the Premier League Young Player of the Season award and a spot in the PFA Team of the Year.

The Premier League table has been given a radical shake-up as a supercomputer has predicted how the final standings will look at the end of the season.

The data-driven forecast, conducted by CasinoHawks (via The Sun), suggests a historic shift at both ends of the table, including a title winner decided by the narrowest of margins and a traditional “Big Six” powerhouse facing the drop.

Arsenal to edge Man City for Premier League title

In the race for the crown, the supercomputer predicts that Arsenal will finally end their title drought, finishing at the summit with 86 points.

The Gunners are tipped to secure 26 wins, edging out Manchester City by a single point after Pep Guardiola’s side finishes on 85.

The battle for Champions League football also sees a return to form for Manchester United, who are predicted to finish third with 68 points.

They are followed by Chelsea in fourth with 65 points, beating out Liverpool and Aston Villa for the final elite European spot on goal difference, as all three clubs are projected to finish level on points.

Tottenham to relegate along with Burnley and Wolves

While the title race is gripping, the most shocking revelation from the supercomputer is the predicted demise of Tottenham.

In what would be one of the most stunning collapses in Premier League history, Tottenham are tipped to finish 18th, suffering relegation with just 31 points.

They are predicted to go down alongside Burnley (29 points) and Wolves (18 points).

The prediction raises serious questions: could the unthinkable really happen to Spurs? Since taking the reins, manager Igor Tudor has failed to make a positive impact, with performances steadily worsening rather than improving.

The squad appears devoid of confidence, and based on the current trajectory and these latest figures, a drop to the Championship looks increasingly like a grim reality.

With no more wins predicted for the remaining campaign, the North London club faces a desperate fight to prove the data wrong.

Manchester United face a defining summer transfer window, but their hopes of securing top targets Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton appear to hinge entirely on qualifying for the Champions League.

According to recent report from The Sun, the Red Devils may be priced out of a move for the England internationals if they fail to secure a top-four finish.

While United have long identified both players as the ideal successors to the departing Casemiro, the financial and competitive hurdles are mounting.

Manchester United fight for top four finish

The race for European football has intensified following Manchester United’s first defeat under interim manager Michael Carrick, a late 2-1 loss to Newcastle United.

Despite the setback, United remain third in the Premier League with 51 points, currently holding their position over Aston Villa on goal difference.

However, the margin for error is non-existent. Both Chelsea and Liverpool sit just three points behind with 48 points each, making the upcoming fixtures against fellow top-four hopefuls critical.

As per the report, for United, the cost of failure extends beyond the pitch; well-placed sources suggest they cannot compete with Manchester City’s potential salary offer for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, valued at nearly £90 million, without the revenue of Europe’s elite competition.

Manchester United midfield reinforcement a priority

United’s pursuit of Wharton and Anderson highlights a glaring historical issue at Old Trafford.

The club has earmarked the engine room as their absolute priority for the summer, a necessary move considering they have recruited only two out-and-out central midfielders in the last eight years.

Adam Wharton, who has been a standout for Crystal Palace and recently earned a place in Thomas Tuchel’s England setup, reportedly has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ allowing him to leave for a fee between £60 million and £65 million.

However, the 22-year-old is said to be “keen on only joining a club in the Champions League,” effectively placing a “Europe or bust” ultimatum on United’s recruitment team.

With rivals like Liverpool and Manchester City also monitoring the duo, United’s ability to provide Champions League football will be the deciding factor in whether they finally fix their long-standing midfield deficiencies.

Mohamed Salah could play a decisive role in determining the future of Cody Gakpo at Liverpool, according to former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown.

Cody Gakpo’s future at the club was uncertain last summer with Bayern Munich showing strong interest in signing him.

However, the Reds ultimately decided to keep Gakpo while selling Luis Diaz to Bayern instead, with the Netherlands international subsequently committing his future to the club by signing a new contract.

Mohamed Salah set to decide Cody Gakpo future at Liverpool

Despite signing a deal, Gakpo’s poor performances this season has resulted in speculation about his future at the club.

Brown believes Gakpo’s future at the club will be dependent on Salah’s future.

He told Football Insider:

“Gakpo is somebody who could have left last summer.

“He was one of a few players who were spoken about, these attacking players at Liverpool who haven’t quite been as impressive as Slot may have hoped.

“He ended up staying, but his performances this season haven’t done much to change the opinion that he might be a bit below the level they hope for.

“In that case, if a huge offer comes in from somewhere like Bayern Munich, then I’m sure they’ll listen and be prepared to let him move on.

“The problem is, Mohamed Salah is going to play a big part because there’s a big chance he could leave Liverpool and they won’t want too much change.

“After everything that happened last summer and the chaos of it all, I can’t see Liverpool letting more than one attacker leave, otherwise it just adds to the unsettled feeling.

“So a lot will depend on what happens with Salah. If he leaves, I expect they’ll keep Gakpo, and if he stays then maybe Gakpo will go instead.”

Salah’s Liverpool future remains uncertain

Salah’s incredible time at Liverpool could come to an end at the end of the season.

The Egyptian forward has spent nine years at Anfield and, during that time, has rewritten the club’s record books while establishing himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history and one of the finest to ever play in the Premier League.

With 254 goals and 121 assists for the club, Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success, helping the Reds win two Premier League titles, the Champions League, two League Cups and the FA Cup.

Although the current season has been one of his quieter campaigns in a Liverpool shirt, Salah has still registered 17 goal contributions in 31 games, highlighting the extraordinary standards he has set for himself.

That said, Salah’s future at the club has become uncertain after the public fallout between him and Slot earlier in the season.

Saudi Pro League clubs have long held a strong interest in signing Salah and, while the Egyptian has been incredibly loyalty to Liverpool, reports suggest he could now be open to a move away.

Cody Gakpo’s future could hinge on Salah decision

Liverpool are reportedly keen to avoid a repeat of last summer’s attacking overhaul, when several forwards were linked with departures at the same time.

According to Brown, that situation means the club are unlikely to allow multiple attackers to leave in the same window.

Cody Gakpo stats 25/26 via Transfermarkt

If Salah departs, Liverpool would likely retain Gakpo to maintain stability in their forward line. However, if Salah decides to stay at Anfield, the club could be more willing to listen to offers for the Dutch attacker.

As a result, Salah’s future could ultimately determine whether Gakpo remains part of Liverpool’s plans moving forward.

Leeds United have no plans to sanction an exit for Ao Tanaka, according to the latest from Football Insider transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke.

Despite a recent lack of minutes in the Premier League, the Japanese international remains a vital part of Daniel Farke’s side.

Pete O’Rourke on Ao Tanaka future at Leeds United

Speaking on the player’s situation, Pete O’Rourke highlighted that while Tanaka hasn’t been a fixture in the starting lineup lately, his departure is not on the cards.

Speaking on Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, he said:

“It’ll be an interesting one. I still think he’s got a role to play for Leeds.

“He’s obviously been on the bench for the last six Premier League games. Leeds have got this starting eleven that they’re sticking with right now, with Stach, Ampadu and Gruev in midfield.

“He’s obviously struggled for appearances in recent weeks, but has still made 22 appearances in all competitions and popped up with three goals.

“I don’t think Leeds would be pushing him out the door right now. He’s still a important squad player for the club and I’m sure he will remain that until the end of the season as well.”

Midfield competition and Tactical shifts

Ao Tanaka impressed at the start of the season, however, a combination of nagging injuries and a slight dip in form saw him lose his place in the starting XI.

The situation was further complicated by Daniel Farke’s tactical evolution.

To solidify the midfield, Farke has pivoted to a more robust trio of Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu, and Ilia Gruev.

This setup has provided the defensive stability Leeds lacked earlier in the campaign, making it difficult for Tanaka to break back into the fold.

With Leeds fighting to stay in the Premier League, it remains to be seen how the final position impacts their transfer plans going into the summer.

But for now, it is believed that the club will keep hold of the Japanese international.
