TRENDING RUMORS

- Barcelona are exploring a move for Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman, reports Sport. The Blaugrana are believed to remain focused on acquiring a "top-level" winger this summer, and after Nico Williams signed a new contract with Athletic Club, they are now exploring alternatives, with Lookman one of the top names on their radar. It is reported that Atalanta could be willing to part ways with the 27-year-old for less than €50m after he entered the final two years of his contract this month, but competition could emerge from the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur also interested in him.

- Bayern Munich have made an offer to sign Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, according to Bild. The proposal is reportedly worth €52m as the Bundesliga champions step up their efforts to sign the Colombia international, who is reported to be keen on making the switch to the Allianz Arena. Diaz, 28, enjoyed one of his brightest campaigns since joining the Reds last season as his 13 goals and five assists in 36 league games helped his side win the league, but despite recently being linked with Barcelona, it looks as though Bayern are now leading the race for his signature.

- Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson could leave Stamford Bridge this summer, reports Fabrizio Romano. AC Milan are said to be one of the clubs keen on the 24-year-old, but the Blues have also received enquiries from Premier League sides as well as other teams in Serie A, and there is now a "concrete possibility" that he leaves west London in this transfer window. Jackson joined Chelsea for a fee of €37m in 2023, when he penned an eight-year contract at the club.

- An offer from Nottingham Forest to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa has been rejected, according to The Athletic. Despite reigniting their interest in the 28-year-old, it is said that the offer of £25m is "considerably lower" than the valuation set by the Bees', who are believed to be looking for a proposal worth in excess of £50m. Wissa, also recently linked with Tottenham Hotspur, scored a career-best 19 goals in 35 Premier League matches last season.

- Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana is "likely" to stay at Old Trafford this summer, reports TEAMtalk. The Red Devils are now reconsidering their original plans to sign a new No. 1 goalkeeper and, after a potential move to Monaco didn't advance, the 29-year-old will reportedly stay put unless the club receive a significant offer. Onana, who made 50 appearances across all competitions last season, still has three years remaining on his contract.
