With the striker still very much on Ruben Amorim's shopping list, Manchester United has been named as one of the four teams Victor Osimhen will select from this summer.  The Red Devils are also heavily linked to another Premier League star after losing out on Viktor Gyokeres. Up until now, the Red Devils have concentrated on bolstering their offensive during this summer window.  Wolves paid £62.5 million for Matheus Cunha, and Manchester United is now hoping to add Bryan Mbeumo to the mix. A third offer is now expected to be made for the Brentford forward. Amorim, the manager of United, is aware that he still needs to acquire a centre striker specialist, but any upcoming high-profile addition is probably going to depend on sales first.  Although United has been heavily linked to a number of highly talented No. 9s, it looks that their first two options—Gyokeres, who is reportedly close to joining Arsenal, and Liam Delap, who left for Chelsea—have fallen through the cracks...

Arsenal announced the departure of 20 players from their men's and women's teams on Wednesday, including the headline-grabbing names of Raheem Sterling, Kieran Tierney, Jorginho, and Neto. The Blues will not obstruct the player's path, and Arsenal has begun negotiations to sign a Chelsea star who can leave for a huge sum via a release clause. Last summer, Neto joined from Bournemouth on a season-long loan to be David Raya's backup. That move came about as a result of Arsenal's unsuccessful attempt to capture Joan Garcia of Espanyol, who is now moving to Barcelona after a year.  Raya remained healthy, and Neto made just one appearance for the Gunners.  When his loan expires on June 30, he will return to home club Bournemouth, therefore Arsenal needs to find a competent bench substitute.  Kepa Arrizabalaga, the most expensive custodian in the world, is rumoured to be Chelsea's option for that replacement. "Arsenal is considering a potential deal for Chelsea...

As a new era begins at San Siro, USMNT forward Christian Pulisic is approaching a significant decision on his future at AC Milan following two seasons in Serie A, according to Thesportmoment.  After joining AC Milan from Chelsea in 2023, Pulisic has made 100 appearances for the team, with precisely 50 coming in each season.  With only two years left on his contract, the 26-year-old, who has scored 32 goals, is getting close to making a significant decision about where he will spend what may be the best years of his career. Thesportmoment can disclose that Pulisic is now seriously considering extending his contract to remain at AC Milan after having some time to think about his future.  The appointment of Igli Tare as sporting director and the hiring of Max Allegri as coach, eleven years after the conclusion of his initial stint with the team, which includes winning the Scudetto in 2010–11, have both contributed to the American winger's belief that the team is embarking on...

Gustavo Hamer, a playmaker for Sheffield United, is a target for Everton. He may be moving after the Blades failed to qualify for the Premier League. This season, the 27-year-old has played for Sheff United as a left-winger and an attacking midfielder, two positions Everton is trying to bolster. With ten goals and eight assists, Hamer was a major contributor to Sheff United's stellar season, which saw them lose the Championship play-off final and only miss out on automatic promotion. On April 30, Thesportmoment reported that Everton is interested in Hamer and may step up their pursuit in the upcoming weeks.  The departure of Abdoulaye Doucoure this summer has been announced by the Toffees.  Though signing Hamer might also be an option, they are negotiating a contract to permanently sign Flamengo loanee Charly Alcaraz, who is thought to be Doucoure's replacement. But there will be competition for Hamer for Everton. Long-time supporters Leeds United may rekindle their interest ...

In light of the alarming lack of progress in Liverpool's attempts to sign Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has made his expectations known for all three deals public. In order to prepare for a historic summer transfer window, Liverpool has not wasted any time.  The ideal successor for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is moving to Real Madrid, is Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen. Frimpong has passed a medical and has personal terms with the Dutchman. Frimpong has a €35 million release clause that Liverpool plans to activate.  Liverpool has largely reached a personal agreement with Milos Kerkez, who will replace Andy Robertson as the team's first choice at left defender.  There are still open talks with Bournemouth about a transfer fee of between £40 million and £45 million. However, the most significant transaction in Liverpool's potential triple coup is on Florian Wirtz.  Wirtz, who is already among Liverpool's highest-...

  After the conditions of his £62.5 million (€75.5 million or $84 million) release clause at Wolves were fulfilled on Tuesday, Matheus Cunha is set to have a medical at Manchester United.  Since it was revealed last week that the Red Devils had made a major move in their pursuit of the attacker's signing, the two Premier League teams have been in constant communication on the payment terms of the agreement. According to Sky Sports News, Wolves has now granted Man Utd authorisation to finalise the agreement with 26-year-old Cunha and begin a medical examination.  Even though the team will not be playing in Europe next season, the Brazilian is glad to be moving to Old Trafford.  Cunha does, in fact, still think that United is one of the greatest teams in the world and a desirable option for any player. With 17 goals and six assists in 34 appearances across all competitions, the explosive attacker had yet another outstanding season for the Molineux team. He is likely to...

Leroy Sane, an attacker for Bayern Munich who has long been a target for Arsenal, has apparently been offered a free transfer to Tottenham this summer. At the end of next month, the 29-year-old winger's contract with the recently crowned Bundesliga winners will expire, making him a free agent. After hiring super-agent Pini Zahavi to represent him, Sane was given a new three-year contract at a lower wage, but Bayern was unable to reach an agreement with him.  With an outstanding 83 goal total in 139 appearances for Manchester City, who won two Premier League titles while he was at The Etihad, Sane has a wealth of prior Premier League experience.  According to Sky Sports, rivals Spurs and Arsenal in North London have both been contacted about a deal for the Germany international. The Gunners have long been interested in the wide player because he played under Mikel Arteta while he was Pep Guardiola's assistant in Manchester. Since Tottenham let both Eric Dier and Harry Kane to g...

Six players, including three exit-linked stars, were spotted modelling the new Manchester United 2025–26 pre-match uniforms in Kuala Lumpur.  In an effort to collect additional money for Ruben Amorim's squad rebuild and club operating expenses, Ineos decided to send the Red Devils on a brief post-season tour to Malaysia earlier this year. The Manchester Evening News said that the trip to Asia includes several publicity engagements, one of which was of the pre-match shirt for the upcoming season and was shared online by The Kitman.  The fact that at least one name was on the list was a huge surprise, and United selected six celebrities to represent the shirt, which may be seen as a preview of their summer intentions.  Among those photographed participating in the photo shoot were Suadi-affiliated captain Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Amass, Manuel Ugarte, Amad, and Alejandro Garnacho, the latter of whom raised some concerns. Last week, Amorim told the Argentine win...

According to reports, Bruno Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, has received an astronomical wage offer to join the Saudi Pro League. Thesportmoment lists the European powerhouses interested in the Old Trafford star. Since joining Manchester United in 2020, Fernandes has been perhaps the team's greatest and most reliable player.  To date in his career, the Portugal international offensive midfielder has made 289 appearances with the Red Devils, tallying 98 goals and dishing out 86 assists. There is a real chance that the 30-year-old may leave Manchester United, even though his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027 with a one-year extension option.  Fernandes said that he might quit Manchester United during the summer transfer window following the team's loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. According to TBR, the Saudi Pro League is prepared to elevate Fernandes to the position of third-highest paid player in their league. Fernandes will ear...

When selling Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United is anticipated to "compromise" on the price they will accept, and Thesportmoment understands that a surprising double deal featuring Kevin De Bruyne is currently in the works. Garnacho's time at Manchester United is ended; Ruben Amorim has informed his team that the Argentine winger will be sold this summer. When Garnacho became up for sale in January, Chelsea and Napoli showed interest.  According to Fabrizio Romano, Garnacho and Manchester United have not been getting along since the deal fell through.  When Garnacho, who had contributed significantly in each of the previous knockout phases, was benched for the Europa League final last Wednesday, the situation reached a climax. Garnacho referred to United's season as "s***" in his post-match remarks and lamented his exclusion from the starting eleven. Man Utd needs to make a number of significant sales in order for Ruben Amorim to reassemble his team this ...

According to sources, Manchester United players are pleading with captain Bruno Fernandes to stay with them this summer, as there are growing rumours that the Portuguese playmaker may be playing his final game for the team.  As they cope with the consequences of missing out on winning the Europa League and earning Champions League football, which would have resulted in a £100 million compensation, the Red Devils are set for a tumultuous summer on and off the pitch. After the defeat to Tottenham in Bilbao, speculation quickly shifted to possible departures in order to raise money for Ruben Amorim to bolster his team during the summer transfer window.  After missing Wednesday night's start against Spain, Alejandro Garnacho was already told he could go on, and other well-known players are anticipated to follow.  In fact, if buyers can be found, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho—the attacking talent trio—will also be moved.  The Man Utd players who are anticipate...

Although they are at odds with AC Milan over Tijjani Reijnders' transfer worth, Manchester City has reportedly advanced their efforts to sign the player by reaching a personal "agreement" with him. Reijnders is Man City's top target for the midfield No. 8 position.  This summer, Pep Guardiola's team will undergo a significant roster overhaul, with the midfield being one of the main areas that will be strengthened. City wants to sign Reijnders to give their engine room more quality and vitality because Bernardo Silva may be moving on and Ilkay Gundogan appears to be past his prime.  In an attempt to beat out Chelsea, Barcelona, and Real Madrid for the 26-year-old's services, City has initiated talks with Reijnders' team as well as Milan.  Sacha Tavolieri, a journalist for Sky Sport Switzerland, has given an update on the situation.  He asserts that Reijnders' agency and City's new football director, Hugo Viana, had made a temporary "agreement o...

According to Jamie Carragher, who has disclosed when the axe could fall, Mikel Arteta should start watching closely and might soon be worried that Arsenal would fire him.  However, insiders have told Thesportmoment that the truth is far different.  After finishing as Manchester City's runners-up in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, the Gunners entered the season with fresh optimism that this would finally be their year.  Arsenal has one again been forced to take a backseat as Liverpool dominates their first season under Arne Slot, ending Pep Guardiola's lengthy dominance of the English league title. The north London team lost badly against Luis Enrique's team in the Champions League semi-finals, losing 3-1 overall. Luis Enrique's team will now play Inter Milan in the final. Arsenal has already won a major title for the seventh straight season under Arteta, whose only other big award to date is the FA Cup in 2020.  Carragher told Sky Sports that if Arte...

A Manchester City star may be able to move to Tottenham since he is rumoured to "almost certainly not" accept one of the many routes that could be presented to him.  There will be changes at City this summer after they lost the championship for the first time in four years and now sit fourth in the Premier League. The primary one is Kevin De Bruyne, who will be permitted to depart after playing in more than 400 games for the team. Jack Grealish, who has only started seven league games this season, might follow him out of the midfield corps. Tottenham is a fascinating alternative, but there has been a lot of speculation about his future.  Football financial specialist Stefan Borson has stated that one path will be completely ruled out. Borson told Football Insider, "There aren't many teams in the area that can afford to pay him the wages he's on right now." As he hasn't featured much this season and earns over £300,000 a week, or more than £15 million an...

After another well-known commentator pushed Liverpool to recruit Inter Milan player Denzel Dumfries, Gary Neville advised Manchester United they might think about making an exciting move for him.  Prior to joining Inter in August 2021, Dumfries played for Sparta Rotterdam, Heerenveen, and PSV.  Dumfries has become one of Europe's top wing-backs throughout his tenure with the Serie A powerhouses. This season, Inter could add to their collection of trophies, which includes one Scudetto, two Coppa Italias (Italian Cups), and three Supercoppa Italianas (Italian Super Cups) thanks to the right-sided ace. In addition to competing against Napoli for the Serie A championship, the Nerazzurri defeated Barcelona to get to the Champions League final, where they will take on Paris Saint-Germain.  Dumfries has made 41 appearances for Inter this season, tallying 10 goals and six assists. With two goals and three assists during the two legs against Barca, he was an irresistible force do...

Amid worrying rumours regarding his Bayern Munich future, Chelsea has received a transfer boost after discovering that star winger Leroy Sane would prefer to join them over Tottenham Hotspur.  Sane returned to Germany by signing a £55 million contract with Bayern after winning two Premier League titles with Manchester City from 2016 to 2020. In 218 games in all competitions, he has scored 61 goals and provided 54 assists for Bayern, helping the Bavarians win four Bundesliga crowns and other trophies like the FIFA Club World Cup. Since the forward's contract is set to expire on June 30, there has been a lot of speculation around his future during the season.  With Real Madrid, Barcelona, and numerous other elite Premier League clubs keen, it has been speculated that he might follow Trent Alexander-Arnold's example by negotiating his terms before joining his next team on a free transfer. The contract negotiations between Bayern and Sane have lately advanced, but they have now ag...
