Chelsea recently parted ways with Liam Rosenior, and they have yet to bring in a permanent replacement.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Porto manager Francesco Farioli is now a strong contender to take over at Chelsea. The club hierarchy is keen on the Italian manager, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Farioli has been outstanding for Porto, winning 37 of his 50 matches in charge. He has lost just five matches in that time.

He is still only 37, and he has a huge future ahead of himself. He’s one of the most talented young managers in the game, and his progressive style of football could be a good fit for Chelsea. They have quality players at their disposal, and the right manager could bring out the best in them. It remains to be seen whether Farioli is prepared to take over at the Premier League club. He was linked with a move to England during his time at Ajax as well.

Chelsea has had a mediocre season so far, and they could miss out on Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign. They must look to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window and bring in a quality manager. The 37-year-old could be an interesting long-term choice.

However, they will need to give him the backing and the time to turn things around. Rosenior had done an impressive job at Strasbourg before the move to Chelsea as well. However, his time at the London club lasted for just 106 days.

Chelsea will need more stability if they want to build a formidable team for the future.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the La Liga attacker Nico Williams.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool comes forward with an offer to sign him.

According to reports from Spain, the player could cost around €80 million. Although the report claims that Liverpool would be willing to make that investment, it would be quite surprising.

Even though they need more quality on the flanks, Williams has not been at his best this season and paying €80 million for him would be a mistake. The player has scored just once in his last 18 appearances. He has struggled for regular gametime with Athletic Club Bilbao in recent weeks.

There is no doubt that he is a talented player with a bright future, but Liverpool will be hoping to sign him for a more reasonable fee. Williams has just four goals and six assists in 30 matches this season.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool are looking at multiple wide players. They have been linked with Yan Diomande, Ez Abde and Francisco Conceicao, among others.

They will need to replace Mohamed Salah in the summer and upgrade Cody Gakpo as well. It is no surprise that they are keeping tabs on Williams. He has the potential to succeed in the Premier League, but he needs to regain his form and confidence.

The Spanish club will have to be reasonable in their demands for the move to go through.

It has been a disappointing season for Liverpool so far, and they will look to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window so that they can compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season. Adding more quality on the flanks should be one of their priorities.

Aston Villa are interested in signing the Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi at the end of the season.

According to a report from Sports Boom, the 26-year-old technically gifted midfielder has attracted the attention of top clubs with his performances in La Liga this season. It will be interesting to see if Girona is willing to sanction his departure.

He has a contract with them until 2030. The report claims the midfielder’s unofficial price tag could rise to €25 million in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa is willing to pay up for him.

They are looking to add more creativity and technical ability in the middle of the park, and Ounahi would be a superb acquisition. Ounahi has been described as a player who combines “energy and technique”. The La Liga ace has eight goal contributions this season.

The 26-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to move to the Premier League and take on a new challenge. Aston Villa is looking to secure Champions League qualification for the next season, and they could be an attractive destination for the player. They have quality players at their disposal and a proven manager like Unai Emery.

The Moroccan International could be attracted to the idea of joining them if there is a concrete proposal on the table. The €25 million asking price is certainly affordable for the West Midlands club, and they should be able to get the deal done in the summer.

However, they will face competition from Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the 26-year-old midfielder to move to England rather than continue in Spain.

Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

According to a report from Sports Boom, Leeds United and West Ham United are closely monitoring his situation and could look to make a move for him in the summer.

The player has just a year left on his current contract, and Sheffield United will be under pressure to cash in on him. They will not want to lose the player for free.

Leeds and West Ham need more creativity and technical ability in the middle of the park, and Hamer could be an excellent addition for them.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old is determined to test himself at the highest level, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. It will be interesting to see if either of the two Premier League clubs decides to come forward with an official offer for him.

Leeds are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they are well placed to stay up. They will need to keep improving the team if they want to continue in the top flight. Adding more goals and creativity in the midfield would be ideal for them. They should look to invest in another striker as well. Hamer has 7 goals and 12 assists this season. 

On the other hand, West Ham need more quality in the team. They are fighting for a place in the Premier League next season, and it remains to be seen whether they can stay up. They have been overly dependent on Jarrod Bowen this season. Hamer would add goals and creativity to the side.

It will be interesting to see where Hamer ends up.

Manchester United are interested in signing the Barcelona defender, Alejandro Balde, during the summer transfer window.

They will feel competition from Liverpool, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

According to a report via TEAMtalk, Barcelona are looking to raise funds and would welcome substantial offers for the 22-year-old full-back. An offer of around £43 million would be enough to get the deal done. Manchester United need more depth in the full-back department, and the Spanish full-back could be ideal for them.

He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he has the technical attributes to try in the Premier League. However, Balde is still hoping to continue at Barcelona and fight for his place there. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish champions are prepared to cash in on him.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are keeping tabs on him as well. Andrew Robertson will leave the club at the end of the season, and they might need to add more depth in that area of the pitch. The 22-year-old could be ideal for them.

The £43 million asking price might seem expensive for the player, especially given that Manchester United and Liverpool need to improve multiple areas of the squad in the summer. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay that kind of money for him.

There is no doubt that the 22-year-old has the qualities to thrive in English football, and he could be a solid long-term acquisition for both clubs. He has shown he can be a reliable defender and help the team going forward as well.

The post Man United and Liverpool set for £43m transfer battle for La Liga wide player appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Arsenal are preparing for a busy transfer window, and they have identified Julian Alvarez and Yan Diomande as targets.

According to reports from Spain, Arsenal wants to add more goals and unpredictability in the final third. They believe the two players could prove to be excellent additions.

Gabriel Jesus has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and Viktor Gyokeres has not been prolific enough. It makes sense for them to move for another striker in the summer.

Alvarez has been exceptional for Atletico Madrid, and he has 29 goal contributions in all competitions. He could prove to be an excellent addition. Apart from his ability to find the back of the net and create opportunities for his teammates, he is quite effective on set pieces and could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attack.

On the other hand, Diomande has 19 goal contributions. He has impressed with his explosive pace and trickery in the final third. The RB Leipzig star could prove to be a major upgrade on Noni Madueke.

The report claims that Arsenal are preparing a stratospheric €250 million investment to sign the two players. It remains to be seen whether they can get the two deals across the line.

They are currently fighting for the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. They will be an attractive destination for quality players, and they have the finances to be a premium as well. If they manage to sign the two players, it would help them improve immensely. They already have a rock-solid defensive unit, and improving their attack further would take them to another level.

The post Arsenal target two game-changers in huge €250 million summer plan appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Manchester United are interested in signing the West Ham United defender El Hadji Malick Diouf.

According to The Guardian, they have identified the Senegal International as a target as they look to add more quality and depth to the left-back department. They are hoping to bring more competition for Luke Shaw.

Meanwhile, the Senegal International joined West Ham United for £19 million, and they will not want to let him leave easily. However, they are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to listen to offers for the 21-year-old.

Even if they agree to sell the player, Manchester United might have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done.

As for the player, Diouf will be attracted to the idea of joining Manchester United. They are among the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down. He will be hoping to compete in the UEFA Champions League with them.

Manchester United have shown improvement this season, but they need more quality to fight for major trophies next year. Adding more quality and depth to the defence and the midfield should be a top priority for them during the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old has shown his quality in a struggling West Ham team, and he could improve further when he is playing alongside other players.

He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into an important player for Manchester United. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the London club to sell the player.

The post Man United plot move for 21-year-old breakout talent from Premier League rival appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Manchester United are interested in signing the Argentine midfielder Exequiel Palacios from Bayer Leverkusen. 

The 27-year-old has done quite well in Germany, and he could prove to be an interesting acquisition for the Manchester club. They need to find a quality replacement for Casemiro, and they believe the South American would be the ideal option.

He will help shield the back four and break up opposition attacking moves. Manchester United believe that he is a “complete player” who could help them dominate midfield contests. 

Meanwhile, reports from Spain claim that negotiations could begin at €50 million. Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done. Convincing the player is unlikely to be too difficult either. He will want to take the next step in his career, and joining one of the biggest clubs in the world will be exciting.

Palacios is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign him. He could be the ideal backup option to Rodri.

Palacios will be hoping to play a regular role at this stage of his career, and moving to Manchester United might be ideal for him. He is likely to be guaranteed a starting role at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old can operate as a defensive or central midfielder. He will also add control and composure to the team. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.

The post Man United identify “complete” €50m Argentine star as key man’s replacement appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Serge Gnabry has been an outstanding performer for Bayern Munich since joining the club, and he could be on his way out of the German club this summer.

According to a report from SportsBoom, the player has been linked with a return to England. Arsenal are keeping tabs on his situation, and they could look to bring him back. It will be interesting to see if the German International is willing to return to the London club.

The player could cost around €30-35 million in the summer. However, Arsenal would only offer around €20-25 million in order to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can come to an agreement.

Arsenal need more quality in the final third, and the 30-year-old could be a useful short-term acquisition. He knows the club well, and he could make an immediate impact. Gnabry has 21 goal contributions this season.

Arsenal have invested in players like Noni Madueke, but he has not been able to live up to the expectations. They need someone who can create opportunities from the flanks and score goals consistently. The German International could prove to be an upgrade on the former Chelsea star. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

The opportunity to move back to the Premier League could be exciting for Gnabry. It could be an interesting challenge at this stage of his career. He will look to showcase qualities in the Premier League and make his mark at Arsenal if the move goes through.

They are among the biggest clubs in the world right now, and they consistently fight for major trophies. They are likely to be an attractive destination for the German attacker. Gnabry has won the Bundesliga with Bayern this season, and he will look to help them win the UEFA Champions League. They are currently in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing the 28-year-old player, according to a report from FussballDaten.

Manchester United are among the most serious candidates to sign the player. They are looking to add more quality and depth to the goalkeeping unit. Senne Lammens has done quite well since joining the club, and the Swiss goalkeeper could compete with him for the starting spot.

More competition for places will help both players improve.

On the other hand, Chelsea is interested in the goalkeeper as well. They need to find an upgrade on Robert Sanchez, who has been underwhelming since joining the club. It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the German outfit.

Dortmund are prepared to sanction his departure for a fee of around €55 million. He has a contract with the German outfit until 2028, and the German side is under no pressure to sanction his departure for cheap. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea or Manchester United will submit an offer of around €55 million to get the deal done.

Kobel is at the peak of his career, and he could make an immediate impact in the Premier League. He will want to play regularly, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United or Chelsea is prepared to provide him with the necessary gametime assurance.

Perhaps a move to Chelsea could be more attractive to the Swiss International goalkeeper, and he would be a guaranteed starter there. At Manchester United, he would have to compete with the Belgian Lammens.

RB Leipzig is looking to sign the Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old Romanian defender has struggled for opportunities at the north London club, and he wants to leave in search of regular time. According to a report from Fanatik, the player has already given his consent to a move, and he wants to join the German club in the summer.

Tottenham are prepared to sanction his departure for a fee of €20 million. The report further claims that the German team is ready to pay up, and it remains to be seen whether all parties can finalise the move.

Dragusin has shown his quality in Italy, and he will look to get his career back on track with regular football in Germany now. Leipzig is a good team with an ambitious project, and they could provide him with regular opportunities. It could be the ideal move for the Romanian defender.

The central defender is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. Sitting on the bench at Tottenham would be detrimental to his growth. It will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running in Germany and establish himself as an important player for RB Leipzig.

Dragusin has started just five games in the Premier League this season.

The player’s agent, Florin Manea, has already visited Germany and held talks about a potential move at the German club’s headquarters. He also attended the match against Union Berlin.

Tottenham paid around €25 million to sign the player from Genoma in 2024, and they will be able to recoup most of the investment in the summer. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in a quality replacement for the Romanian defender.

The post Tottenham star gives green light for summer exit as agent flies out for talks appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Andrew Robertson will be a free agent at the end of the season, and he has decided to leave Liverpool.

Fenerbahce want to sign Andrew Robertson

According to a report from Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the player’s agent recently flew out to Istanbul for transfer talks with the Turkish outfit. An offer has been made to the player, and Robertson has considered it.

However, talks are currently at a standstill because of the upcoming presidential election in the first week of June. It seems that transfers could be halted until then. In that case, Robertson is expected to choose another. It is highly unlikely that he will wait until June for the Turkish outfit.

Sabuncuoglu wrote on X: “Fenerbahçe brought Andrew Robertson’s agent to Istanbul. A verbal offer was made. The player has taken the offer under consideration, but the talks halted once the election decision was made.”

Gabriel Sara has done well in Turkey

The 26-year-old Brazilian is in impressive form and has registered 11 goal contributions across all competitions. He could cost around €35-40 million, and it will be interesting to see if the two Premier League clubs are willing to come forward with an offer for him.

They will also face competition from Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

It is no secret that Tottenham and Manchester United need more quality in the middle of the park. A technically gifted central midfielder who can add goals and creativity would be ideal. The 26-year-old has shown his quality in the UEFA Champions League, and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well.

The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality in today’s market.

Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in England, and they will be hoping to fight for trophies next year. He could be tempted to be a part of their project.

He will add creativity and technical ability to the team. Even though he’s not ready for Premier League football every week, he could be a useful player for them now and an indispensable asset in the long-term.

Graanas is an attacking midfielder who can also operate as a central midfielder.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if there is an offer to Fredrikstad FK.

The Norwegian outfit will not want to lose the talented youngster easily, but they could be under pressure to sell if an attractive proposal comes in.

Liverpool cannot lose Alisson Becker

They need leaders on the team, in addition to fresh talent. The Brazilian goalkeeper is a key pillar in the dressing room for Liverpool, and they cannot afford to lose him just yet.

Virgil van Dijk on Alisson rumours

Club captain Virgil van Dijk has now opened up on the transfer speculations surrounding the Brazilian goalkeeper.

Van Dijk on Alisson’s future (h/t James Pearce): “We have been through everything together, positive things and some negative things unfortunately as well, so it would definitely be a big blow and a miss, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to think ahead about what could or could not happen.

“He’s very important for me as one of the leaders in the team, and he is very important on the pitch because he is, in my opinion, the best goalkeeper in the world.

“He’s trying to be back as soon as possible to help us for the last four games, and that’s our main focus. Whatever happens after that is not something you should ask me. Would I love him to stay? Of course, there’s no doubt about that.”

He has been linked with a move to Italy in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if Alisson is willing to return to Italian football in the summer. He is a world-class goalkeeper, and his departure would certainly weaken Liverpool.

Liverpool needs someone like Mateus Fernandes

It is no secret that they need a combative midfielder in the middle of the park. He’s a hard-working player who will help out defensively and add control and composure to the team as well. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool decides to make a move in the coming weeks.

Former Liverpool star Jan Molby believes that he would be an exceptional acquisition for the club.

Molby said (h/t EOTK): “I think he’s exceptional, and I mean exceptional. That boy ain’t staying at West Ham, regardless of what happens.

“He’s got it all. He’s mobile. He’s technically very good. He reminds me a bit of the two Portuguese midfielders who run and dominate at PSG. This boy’s the real deal.”

Regular football at Liverpool could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure an agreement with West Ham in the summer. The hammers will not want to lose him easily, and they could demand a premium.

Man United could use Mika Godts

At Manchester United, he might have to compete with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Newcastle might be able to provide him with more opportunities.

Godts has shown his quality for Ajax in the European competitions, and he is ready for the next step. Moving to the Premier League could be the ideal step up in his career and accelerate his development.

Meanwhile, Football Insider reports that Manchester United are looking to bring in a central midfielder and a left-back as well. Improving the three positions will be an absolute priority for them in the summer.

Chelsea wants to sell Liam Delap

Chelsea are looking to get rid of him in the summer, and they will look to recoup the £30 million they paid for him. According to a report from Football Insider, Everton is interested in signing the player, and they could provide him with an exit route.

They need to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit, and Delap could be ideal. He has shown his quality in the Premier League with Ipswich Town. A fresh start could be ideal for the talented young striker. Regular football at Everton could bring out the best in him. It could help him regain his form and confidence.

Chelsea is set to bring Emanuel Emegha to the club from Strasbourg in the summer, and he will compete with Joao Pedro for the starting spot.

It makes sense for the 23-year-old striker to move on in search of regular playing time. Everton have shown improvement this season, and they are pushing for a place in Europe. They could be an attractive destination for Delap.

It will be interesting to see if Everton is willing to pay the asking price for him. They will hope to sign him for a knockdown fee, given his situation at Chelsea. They are fully aware that Chelsea wants to get rid of him, and his performances have been underwhelming. It seems unlikely they will want to pay £30 million for the striker.

Exequiel Palacios has been linked with a move away from German club Bayer Leverkusen.

According to a report from FussballDaten, the Bundesliga outfit is not keen on sanctioning his departure, but multiple clubs are keen on securing his services.

He has a contract with them until 2030, and any club interested in him will have to pay at least €50 million to even start negotiations. Palacios has previously been linked with Liverpool.

Man United keen on Exequiel Palacios

According to the report, Manchester United are interested in securing his signature. They believe that his “high pressing intensity and elite passing quality” would be ideal. They have been admirers of Palacios for a while.

Casemiro will leave the club in the summer, and Manchester United needs to replace him properly. They need someone who can shield the back four and allow the central midfielders to operate with more freedom.

The 2022 World Cup winner could be ideal for them. He has consistently shown his quality in Germany, and he has the physicality and technical attributes for English football as well. There is no doubt he could be an outstanding option for Manchester United in the middle of the park.

Manchester United are likely to secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they could be an interesting option for the player.

Man City also keen on Palacios

Meanwhile, Manchester City is keen on the player as well. They need someone who can support Rodri, and the South American could be ideal.

Manchester City have been consistently fighting for major trophies, and they have a world-class team. The player would also get to work with Pep Guardiola.

The €50 million asking price is affordable for both clubs, and it will be interesting to see what the player decides if there is a concrete offer from both teams.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the Turkish international defender Ferdi Kadioglu.

The 26-year-old left back has done quite well since joining Brighton, and he has been a key player for them. According to a report from Turkish publication Sporx, Manchester United are closely monitoring his development and could look to make a move in the summer.

Man United could use Ferdi Kadioglu

It is no secret that they need a quality left back. They will need to replace Luke Shaw in the long term, and the Turkish International could be ideal. Kadioglu has shown his quality in the Premier League with Brighton, and he has the quality to play for a bigger club as well.

Kadioglu was previously linked with Arsenal.

The opportunity to join Manchester United could be exciting for Kadioglu. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Manchester United is set to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, making them an attractive destination for quality players. Manchester United also wanted Kadioglu last year.

Kadioglu could fancy a big move

Kadioglu is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. He has a contract with the English club until 2028, and Brighton could demand a premium for him. Manchester United will need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and they are unlikely to pay over the odds for the Turkish international.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can secure an agreement with Brighton over a reasonable deal.

Kadioglu has been a reliable defender in the Premier League, and he has shown that he can impact games on the other end of the pitch as well. The Turkish defender delivered an outstanding performance against Chelsea in his last match, scoring the opening goal and creating multiple opportunities for his teammates.

Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in signing Ibrahim Maza from Bayer Leverkusen. 

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the two Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the 20-year-old playmaker, and they could look to make a move in the summer.

Maza has impressed in Germany with Leverkusen, and he has the technical attributes for English football as well. He has also been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham.

Ibrahim Maza would be a long-term asset

Maza can play as an attacking or central midfielder. He will add creativity and goals from the middle of the park. Manchester City could certainly use someone with his skill set. They have yet to properly replace Kevin De Bruyne, and they are likely to lose Bernardo Silva at the end of the season as well. They need more creativity in the middle of the park.

The 20-year-old could be a long-term acquisition for them, and Pep Guardiola could groom him into a future star.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will need more creativity from the middle of the park as well. They have been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez for goals and creativity from the midfield. The Argentina International has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and they will need to fill the creative void after his departure.

Where will Maza end up?

Maza has five goals and six assists this season. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the 20-year-old to join the club.

The opportunity to play for Chelsea or Manchester City could be exciting for Maza, especially if they are prepared to offer him a key role in the starting lineup.

Leverkusen could demand a premium for him as well. He has a contract with them until 2030. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

Arsenal could use Julian Alvarez

Even though they have Viktor Gyokeres at their disposal, the Swedish International has not been prolific enough. Also, his overall game needs a lot of refinement. Arsenal need someone who can lead the line, score goals consistently, and create opportunities for his teammates in the final third.

The South American is a complete forward who could be the ideal acquisition for the North London outfit. He knows the Premier League well from his time at Manchester City, and he could make an immediate impact.

Alvarez could transform Arsenal

He has 19 goals to his name this season, and he has picked up nine assists along the way as well. He is also quite effective from direct free kicks, and Alvarez could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attack.

Arsenal have a formidable defensive unit and a reasonably good midfield. However, they need more quality in the final third. They need to invest in a reliable striker and a quality winger. Alvarez could make a big difference for them. He is at the peak of his career, and according to the report, he is looking for a more ambitious project.

Arsenal will certainly have more resources than Atletico Madrid, and they are more likely to sign the top-quality players needed to compete regularly with elite clubs. It would not be a surprise if he’s attracted to the idea of returning to England.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City keen on Oskar Pietuszewski

The 17-year-old is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and he has a €60 million release clause in his contract. According to a report from Sports Boom, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in the player.

Arsenal believe he could be the ideal long-term acquisition, and they could submit an offer of €40 million (£35m).

On the other hand, Chelsea and Manchester City have been scouting him for Porto and the Polish under-21 national team. Manchester City could look to sign the player and loan him back to the Portuguese club for a season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Pietuszewski has a contract with the Portuguese club until 2029, and Porto has no intention of letting him leave. They are hoping to offer him a new contract that would increase his release clause to €80-100 million. It will make it very difficult for the English clubs to get the deal done if that happens.

That said, Pietuszewski is a young player and needs to play regularly at a high level to continue his development. He should focus on regular opportunities at Porto now. He will have plenty of opportunities to move to an elite club in future.
